“That’s a hard-on.” This time, it was not phrased in the form of a question.
She’s moved a few more inches away.
“They told us to expect this,” I say, my gaze avoiding her. “Even though I couldn’t be less interested in you. It’s the pheromones.”
Did I really just say that? Did I say I wasn’t interested in her? The prettiest woman I’ve ever seen?
Shit. Horses have a poor sense of smell, worse than any other guy in the barracks, but the acrid tang of her anger, embarrassment, and hurt is so pungent evenIsmell it.
I have to fix this.
Chapter Eleven
Jo
“No. That came out wrong. You’re beautiful, Jo. And I’ve never been near a woman before. This is new to me, and I don’t want to offend you or hurt your feelings or make this creepy for you. I don’t know what to say and I don’t know how to control my body and…”
He takes a deep breath and finally looks at me. His handsome face is so expressive as I watch his emotions appear, then give way to another and another.
Panic. His piercing blue eyes are wide, and if he weren’t such a massive male, I’d almost think he was afraid of me.
Embarrassment. He’s mortified as his long, silver lashes slam onto his cheeks.
Pain. That beautiful mouth grimaces.
Worry. Now he’s wincing.
Finally, he quits spluttering all his confused words and his gaze locks onto mine. There’s no mistaking this emotion.
Desire.
Pure, unadulterated lust.
As if to illustrate the point, his long, long, thick cock thumps against his belly with a dull thud.
“Shit,” he whispers as he glances heavenward. “So embarrassing.”
He was never in the same room with a woman until yesterday. I imagine his body is racing with more horny hormones than a seventh grader at his first school dance. And here he is without benefit of pants.
After turning to face him, I reach to place a finger against his lips. If I don’t stop the cascade of crazy-talk flying through his lips, he’s going to dig himself into an even deeper hole.
“It’s okay, Chance. Like you just said, we’re new at this.”
He opens his eyes and breathes a shaky sigh of relief.
I need to shut this down somehow. Make this better. Unless I do, we’ll never get past this. As my mind organizes a pretty speech about how we’re going to forget this happened and put it behind us, I watch myself as though it’s an out-of-body experience as I remove my finger from his lips lean toward him, slip my arm around his back, tip my head up, and pucker.
The whole time I wait for his lips to meet mine, I’m berating myself for my crazy, impulsive behavior. I half expected nothing. I figured when I opened my eyes he would have run—or trotted—from the room. The other half of me imagined he would press the most tentative, soft kiss to my lips. I never expected his lips to crash against mine with the force and intensity of a tsunami.
My eyes widen in surprise as he slides his tongue along the seam of my lips. Without conscious decision, I open to him and allow his tongue to barge inside my mouth. He explores me with lust, just as I would expect from a grown male who desires a woman.
An involuntary moan escapes my throat and I feel his body tense. His hands slide down my arms and wrap around my waist, pulling me closer. His hard body presses against mine, sending jolts of pleasure through me at every touch.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I tug him closer, unable to resist the pull of his lips. His kiss is hungry and possessive, claiming me for himself. I revel in this moment when all of life's worries seem insignificant and all that matters is here and now, him and me.
Chance’s kiss tastes and feels amazing, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. His lips are firm and warm and his tongue strokes mine with electric intensity until my limbs tingle with pleasure. A swirl of emotions runs through me, from tenderness to arousal to something deeper still, something that goes beyond the physical.
Something wild and heady curls around us like a fog in the air. His scent is like a forest after rainfall; fresh, earthy, and natural—unlike anything I’ve ever smelled before. How does he manage to smell so good? We both slept in the dormitories last night. Why does he smell like fresh air?
