“Not often enough, obviously.”
“Gets lonely out on the trail, I imagine.”She held his gaze while she popped the snaps at her wrists and took the shirt off with sensuous rolls of her shoulders.
“You can’t imagine how lonely.”Passion blazed in his eyes.
She unbuckled her belt and pulled it slowly through the loops.“Days without the soft comfort of a woman’s body can take its toll on a man.”
“It can make him crazy.”
“And are you going crazy?”The jeans slithered over her hips and she kicked them away.
His reply was husky.“Insane.”
“Good.”She unhooked her bra.“That’s how I like my men.”
“So I figured.”
She dropped the bra to the floor and cupped her breasts.“How long has it been since you touched a woman?”
“Too long.”
“Well, I hope you have some staying power.”She smoothed her hands down her rib cage, hooked her thumbs in the elastic of her panties and tugged them down her body in one continuous motion.“I’d hate for everything to be over prematurely.”She held her panties dangling by two fingers.“If you know what I mean.”Then she tossed them across the room toward him.
He caught them without taking his gaze from hers.“I don’t think you’ll have any complaints.”
“Now, that sounds promising.”She stretched out on the bed and propped her cheek on her fist.“Would you care to make good on that boast, cowboy?”
He took off his hat and dropped her panties into the crown before setting the hat next to hers on the built-in.“Reckon I would.”
He leaned against the built-in to pull off his boots.Then he rounded the end of the bed, working on his shirt buttons as he walked.She lay back against the pillows as he came to stand beside her and placed the box of condoms at the precise center of the bedside table.“Your underwear was damp,” he said.
Her heartbeat thundered in her ears.“Is that so?I wonder what could have caused that?”
He unbuckled his belt and gave her a tight smile.“I think we’re about to find out,Liebchen.”
“A cowboy who can speak German.Oh, my.”Freddy ran her tongue over her dry lips as he eased the zipper past the bulge of his arousal.Her heart was chugging like a freight train going up a rise, and the ache within her grew with each bit of magnificent man Ry revealed.When his manhood sprung free, so ready for her, she sucked in her breath.
All his clothes gone, he placed a knee on the bed and leaned toward her.“Is that how you want me to make love to you, little lady?In German?”
“No, cowboy,” she murmured, reaching to cup his face and pull him down for a long-awaited kiss.“I want to understand every word you say.”
But he didn’t need many words to tell her how much he wanted her.Braced above her, he roved her face and neck with his hungry lips.She arched upward to receive his kisses at her breasts.His touch had already become achingly familiar, and she responded with lush abandon as he stroked her hips, her thighs, the backs of her knees.When he caressed her between her thighs, he groaned softly.“I think we’ve found out why your panties were drenched,chérie.”
She gasped with longing and gripped his shoulders as he probed deep.“Love me, Ry.”
He braced his elbow beside her head as he reached for the box.“And what else did you ask for?”he murmured in her ear.“Staying power?”
“That might not...be necessary.”
“Ah, but it would be more fun.”He nibbled at the lobe of her ear.“Help me with this,chérie.I want to feel your hands on me.”
She took the packet and ripped it open with shaking fingers.Then he whispered instructions in her ear as she fumbled with the task, bringing them both to a fever pitch of excitement.Finally, she managed, and in a breathless voice announced her success.
His response was hoarse with need as he moved between her thighs.“Never has incompetence felt so good.”Poised above her, he smoothed her hair back from her face.“We’ve made love in so many ways, but this was what I really wanted.”He eased forward.“This.”
“Yes.”She lifted her hips to meet him, tension throbbing through her, demanding release.“Please, Ry.”
He slipped both hands beneath her hips, and with a sharp intake of breath he plunged deep.At that first thrust she erupted into a dazzling climax, calling his name as she writhed in his arms.He moved with each spasm, heightening her pleasure until she became delirious with sensation.
