He stares at me as though he’s uncovering the years and trying to place the truth. “Fuck! You grew up fast.”
“Okay…” I wave goodbye to Mullet before glancing back at Rowan. “I’ll be in touch.”
His weight comes up behind me, but I keep walking through the bar, twisting sideways to avoid people as I make myway toward the front door. Hot or not, I can’t want a man who’s friends with my father, especially a man who just noted how fast I grew up.
Gross!
Then again, would my father have to know if we spent a single night together? Rowan is the perfect man to take my virginity. He’s big, rough, covered in ink, and he’s leaving town the second this bear is caught. There’s no pressure to say hi to him on Main Street when we’re both grabbing groceries and we’ll never bump into each other at the diner.
My thighs ache, and while I try to convince myself that this doesn’t make sense, the alcohol keeps giving me reasons that it could work.
Jake left me because I wouldn’t screw him. I know that for a fact. He screamed at me and listed off my prudish ways for me to absorb earlier this evening. We spent months together, and I had no desire to touch him, let alone have sex. I thought there was something wrong with me until I got here tonight, and Rowan sat next to me. Maybe I just needed alcohol all along. Whiskey does make me horny.
Blah! I need to get a grip.
I pull open the bar door and a gust of cold wind blows in with it. Good. That’s just what I need to get myself in check.
“Hold up,” Rowan’s deep voice calls from behind me.
I turn back in the dim light of the night and stare up at him. He’s so big. A goliath. A huge, inked up monster of a man that I want to touch me everywhere.
My breath catches, and though I’m repeating the word ‘stop’ in my head over and over, I lean up onto my toes like the feral girl I am and kiss him.
Lip on lip, I kiss this man like a wild heathen who has no respect for rules or order.
His big hands land on my shoulders and then my waist. He lifts me from the ground, and I wrap around him as he carries me toward his truck. I’ve never been lifted so effortlessly in my life.
My clit throbs and my heart hammers.What the hell is happening?
I should want him to stop. I shouldn’t have started. He’s my dad’s friend, he’s not at all age appropriate, and he’s about to make a mess of the town I love.
Yet here I am, hoping with all my heart that this man does bad, bad things to my father’s daughter.
Chapter Two
Rowan
“How much have you had to drink?” I stare toward the woman in black who’s leaning against the inside of my truck door like she wants to devour me. This isn’t something that happens regularly, so I’m not sure how to react.
“It doesn’t matter. Touch me!” She sighs and grabs my hand, running it over her smooth thigh.
Fuck.
I like to think I’m a good man, but right now, I’d like to ignore every righteous sound rattling through my head and let my hand wander up between her legs.
I groan under my breath. “Oh, I want to, princess, but something tells me you’d regret all that in the morning.”
“No, I wouldn’t.” She slides closer to me and tucks under my shoulder. “We don’t have to tell anyone. I just want to get this out of the way.” She sighs and leans against me. “You know, like a no strings thing. What do people call it?”
“A one-night stand?”
“Yeah. One of those.” She nuzzles into my neck. “It’s no big deal. You’re leaving town soon, anyway.”
Thoughts of tying her little wrists to the posts in the barn conjure, but I push them in favor of something less… aggressive. “Do you have something going on? Why’d you come out tonight and get so drunk?”
She sniffles and pushes away a few tears before sliding over to the other side of the truck bench. “Nothing.”
“Nothing? So, this is normal for you? Around here the game warden for the area comes into town on Fridays, gets loaded, and hits on random guys until she can’t stand?”
