“I’m here to continue what you started, so if you’re not ready for me, you better chase me out right now because once our lips meet, that’s it. I’ll be making you mine.”
“I... you... but what about...” Her eyes darted back and forth as she desperately tried to keep her wits intact.
“What about what?”
“The blonde? I saw you hugging and kissing a blonde the other day.”
A dark chuckle escaped from deep within as he stepped closer. With a moan, she closed her eyes as his muscled frame trapped her against the wall. She couldn’t see his face, but her lips connected with his neck. The urge to bite the vein right there overwhelmed her. She was about to sink her teeth in when his voice once again stopped her.
“I wouldn't do that if I were you, Lovebug,” he breathed against her neck. A shiver tracked down her spine.
Startled at the deep growl, Daphne pushed against his chest. She gasped as he stepped back, startled at how gorgeous he was in his fully aroused state.
“It would be incest if I had a thing with the petite blonde.” His smile gentled the harshness of his earlier warning. “Nadine is my niece.”
“Oh... I thought she was...”
“No, she isn’t... and it’s time. Choose, Lovebug... now.” He leaned in and kissed her, immediately sweeping his tongue inside her mouth. Grasping her hand from where it rested against his chest, he nailed it to the wall at the side of her head with his fingers. Held captive, she stood vulnerable against the rush of sparks erupting along her nerve endings.
Daphne reveled in Carter’s groan that filled the room. It rumbled from deep within his chest as his fingers curled around her chin. At first soothingly gentle, then, within a heartbeat, they turned to inflexible steel.
The kiss was relentless, forceful, yet so absolutely perfect that she was left questioning her sanity and fighting for oxygen. Daphne was overcome with an equal measure of light-headedness and lust as he pressed his hips into hers, blatantly flaunting his erection.
“I’m waiting, Daphne. Are you going to be mine?”
Daphne couldn’t breathe, let alone speak, as the kiss was more than the demand of ownership. Every touch and slide of his tongue against hers was soaked with the sweetness of passion—a million loving thoughts condensed into a moment.
“Yes... hell, yes, please, Carter.”
“Good.” He released her and stepped back. “Pack an overnight bag. We’re going to my mountain lodge in Powerhouse Mountain.
“But why? I’m ready now! We don’t need to go to your house. We can—”
“No, we can’t make love here.”
“I don’t understand. Why in the devil not?”
“Because, Lovebug, I’m going to make you scream, and since I have a reputation to uphold in town, we have to—”
“Well, hell, Sheriff Scott, you should’ve led with that. So,” she grabbed her coat. “Well, what are we waiting for?”
Carter’s mountain lodge in the Powerhouse Mountain range. Springvale, midway between Provo and Spanish Fork...
“Come on, love. Don’t be shy. I am going to lick every inch of your skin tonight, so you might as well get naked and join me,” Carter said from where he was already waiting in the hot tub.
Confident in her skin, she didn’t hesitate and quickly undressed. His eyes scrolling over her nakedness caused a thrill of anticipation to rush over her, especially as he licked his lips with luscious intent.
“Ooh, this feels absolutely wicked,” Daphne sighed as she settled beside him, and the warm water of the hot tub swirled around her naked skin. Secure on the heated enclosed glass pane patio staring out to the stars added to the allure of the moment.
“You have no idea what wicked means, Lovebug,” Carter murmured into her hair as he drew her close. She sighed as she leaned back against him, reveling in how comfortable they were with each other... naked and vulnerable out in the open.
“Hmmm, this feels like heaven. Your hard, naked body. So hot.”
Daphne broke out in goose flesh as he pressed his chest against her back. Her breath caught in her throat as he trailed his fingers over her shoulders and arms with feather-like touches, tracing a line toward her breasts. He turned her around in his arms and pressed his lower body against her as his hard arousal throbbed against her soft belly.
“Carter, are you sure no one?”
“We’re alone up here, love. No one ever comes this far up. Besides, it’s private property. People here respect that.” He smiled darkly. “You have completely captivated me. I’ve never wanted anyone more than I want you right now, Daphne, and I’m not waiting any longer.”
