Nine
Brant couldn’t remember ever being so excited to touch a woman. He’d thought Talulah had sent him home and that was that. So when she’d stopped him from leaving, and he could tell she was feeling the same desire he was, a wave of relief heightened the excitement.
“I’m glad you changed your mind,” he murmured against her lips. “I’ve been dying to get my hands on you all night.”
“I hope it won’t cost you your friendship with Charlie,” she said, obviously worried.
Brant didn’t want to think about Charlie. He wasn’t out to hurt his best friend. That wasn’t what this was about. If Charlie hadanychance with Talulah, Brant wouldn’t be here. But Charlie didn’t. Talulah had made that clear. “I hope so, too. But I can’t seem to resist you.”
Her hands delved into his hair, and she parted her lips as he kissed her. “What about your truck? You don’t think Charlie will find it, do you?”
Her skin was so soft. And the smell of her... He ran his lips over her collarbone, breathing in the scent he remembered and liked so well. “No. It’s in Ellen’s barn. There’s no way he’d ever think to look there.”
After helping her out of her dress, he immediately unsnapped the black sheer bra she was wearing and filled his hands with her breasts. She melted into him. But then she stiffened and twisted her head to look out the window. “He wouldn’t come up to the house...”
Would Charlie go that far? After the way he’d spoken about Talulah, Brant wouldn’t put it past him. To be safe, he guided her up the stairs where peering in the windows wasn’t such an easy possibility.
He peeled off her panties and tossed them aside before pressing her up against the wall and kissing her again as he slid his hand between her legs. When he found the wet warmth he’d been seeking, and she gasped, he used the opportunity to deepen their kisses.
“Yourclothes,” she said breathlessly as she tried to undo his belt.
Scooping her up in his arms, he lowered her onto the bed. “We’ll get to that soon enough.”
He was as eager to remove his clothes as she was—to feel her naked body against his—but he knew the next few minutes would go entirely too fast if he got naked, too.
He preferred to make this last.
Climbing onto the bed, he straddled her as he took his time kissing her mouth and neck before meandering down to her breasts and sucking on one nipple and then the other.
He caressed her stomach and legs as he moved lower, settling his mouth between her legs—and felt a measure of satisfaction when she began to arch her back and grab handfuls of his hair.
“I want you inside me,” she said as her muscles grew taut, but he could feel her thighs quiver and guessed she was close to climax. He planned to make that happen first.
When she groaned and her body began to spasm, he knew she’d reached that release. “That must’ve been good. Goose bumps broke out on your whole body.”
“Don’t get conceited about it,” she joked.
“Will you do me a favor?” he asked.
She sobered, and when their eyes met, he thought hers were among the prettiest he’d ever seen. “What?” she asked.
“Put on my T-shirt again. It turns me on to remember you coming down the stairs in it.”
“That was pretty ill-timed.”
“Don’t ruin this by mentioning the rest,” he said.
She pulled it on as soon as he handed it to her, and by the time he’d tossed the rest of his clothes on the floor, he was staring down at the Elway Ranch logo on her chest. The only thing better than seeing her in his shirt was knowing she had nothing on underneath—and that he had complete access.
Taking a moment to admire the sight of her, he reached under the soft cotton fabric, seeking the curves and warm skin he knew he’d find, and his pulse began to race in anticipation.
It was late—Talulah had no idea what time exactly—when she felt Brant move in the bed beside her and realized he was awake. She assumed he was getting up to leave, until she felt his hands delve once again beneath the T-shirt she was wearing.
“Do you want your shirt back?” she asked, half-asleep. She knew he had to go, but was reluctant to lose the comfort and warmth of his body, especially since the weather had finally cooled off and a chill wind was blowing through the open windows.
“I can leave without it,” he said. “I doubt anyone will see me this late.”
“You never know. I’ll give it back to you, just in case.”
