Her breasts bounced as she tugged off her boots, making my heart thump in my chest in anticipation. Jenny Girl was fucking killing me, and she didn’t even know it. It hit me that I could probably fall in love with her given time, but she had plans that didn’t include me. I just had to make sure she didn’t take off with my heart in her backpack on her traipse around the world. I could do that. I would do that.
Stripped of everything else, she sat on my bed wearing nothing but a red thong. Be still my heart. I walked around to the side of the bed, sitting on the edge. “You take my breath away,” I said, sliding my hand along her thigh.
She put her hand on my neck, leaned toward me, and put her lips at the corner of my mouth. I let her play until she licked across the seam of my mouth. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Come here.” I tugged her down with me to the bed. Finding her mouth again, I took my time savoring her taste, breathing in her scent. She nestled against me, and I slid my hand down the curve of her spine until I reached her ass, splaying my fingers over one firm cheek.
The candles I’d set on the nightstand flickered light and shadows over the creamy white skin of her breasts. “Need those in my mouth,” I murmured. She gasped when I swirled my tongue around the little bud, then moaned when I sucked hard on it. Ah, so damn good.
“Dylan.”
That was all. Just my name, but the needy sound of it was enough to drive me wild. I rose onto my elbows and stared down at her. Her eyes were filled with desire, and her mouth was parted as she breathed heavily in and out.
“It’s been a long time for me, Red. I’m going to apologize in advance for how fast this first time is going to go.” I brushed my mouth over hers. “But I’ll make it up to you. I promise.”
She smiled. “We have all night.”
“That we do.” I pushed my briefs down my legs and kicked them off, then reached into the nightstand, pulling out a handful of condoms, dropping all but one.
“Pretty optimistic, aren’t you?”
I glanced at the pile of condoms and laughed. “Probably not that optimistic.” I hooked a finger under the elastic of her sexy thong, wanting it off. To make sure she was ready for me, I slid a finger inside her. Oh yeah. She definitely was.
She held out her arms. “Inside me. Now.”
“Yes, ma’am.” I moved between her thighs, and after I rolled the condom on, I lowered my body over hers. She spread her knees, and as I sank into her, she wrapped her legs around my ass. Heat spiraled up my spine, and I clenched my entire body to keep from coming right then.
Heaven. It was fucking heaven being inside my Jenny Girl. She lifted her hips to meet mine, matching my rhythm. With each stroke I drove deeper, and the pressure built inside me until I couldn’t hold out any longer. I found Jenny’s mouth, our tongues dancing around each other as I lapped up her moans.
“Ahh,” I said into her mouth as I erupted, waves of pleasure, one after the other, washing over me. My heart pounded in my chest. “I’m sorry.” And I was. She hadn’t climaxed.
“Hey, remember we have all night?”
I smiled against her neck. “I remember.”
“Just do better next time, cowboy. We’re trying to save a horse here.”
The woman definitely knew how to make me laugh. “That horse has nothing to worry about.”
When I could move again, we raided the kitchen, bringing a container of ice cream and two spoons back to the bed. Once our bellies were satisfied, I took my time exploring Jenny’s body, learning what made her shiver with pleasure. Her taste, her scent, the way her silky skin felt under my palms was intoxicating. I wasn’t sure I’d ever get enough of her.
We dozed off sometime after midnight. I was spooned behind her, my nose buried in her hair so I could breathe her in, and as sleep took me, I wondered how I was going to let her go when it was time.
My phone interrupted my sleep, and I rolled over, looking at the clock to see it was two in the morning. Calls that came in the middle of the night were never good. I sat up, grabbed my cell, and went into the living room to keep from waking Jenny.
“Talk to me,” I said when I saw Kim Payton’s name come up on my screen. She and Tommy were still on night shift.
“Chief, I’m really sorry to be calling at this hour.”
“No problem. What’s going on?”
“Ah, Tommy and I are at the scene of an accident involving the mayor’s daughter. Captain Moody’s here, too. Apparently Stephanie called him. We’re pretty sure she’s drunk, but Moody’s refusing to let Tommy give her a Breathalyzer.”
And here was my first test on how I was going to treat the mayor’s daughter. The answer? Just like I would anyone else. “Tell Captain Moody I said—”
“That’s not all. Sean Lamar was in the car with her and wasn’t wearing a seat belt. He was thrown out. He’s in pretty bad shape. They’ve called for MAMA to take him to Mission in Asheville.”
Shit. MAMA was the hospital’s medical helicopter. Blue Ridge Valley had a small hospital, but they didn’t have a trauma center. “Tell Captain Moody I’m on the way and that I said to let you and Tommy do your job.” I’d find out who Sean Lamar was when I got there. After getting the address, I returned to my bedroom to put on some clothes.
