She places a finger over my mouth. “Now who’s babbling?” she teases. “And for the record, I’ve no intention of going back to New York, not now. I want to see whereusgoes. It may be a little complicated, but I like you, Zane. All those traits everyone warned me about? I love them.”
I stare at her. “Y-you do?”
She nods. “I do.”
“Youlovethem?”
“I-I don’t want you to run away. I’m scared I’ll come on too strong, that’s what my ex said to me once… he said it was my fault because I pushed him into it. He felt ‘smothered’.”
Now it’s my turn to place my finger over her mouth. “I’m not gonna run away. Let’s never speak his name ever again, got me? You’re the sweetest, kindest, funniest woman I’ve ever met, Sadie Summers, maybe I fell in love with you the second I saw you in The Dusty Spur.”
Her lips part as she gasps. “Y-you did?”
I close my eyes and take a breath. “I did.”
“Do you love me?”
“If I admit that, will you be the one runnin’ down that mountain?”
She shakes her head. “No, because I love you, Z. I know this is kinda soon, but I’ve never felt this way about anyone, and it’s not just because you’re a hot mountain man-ax wielding-bearded-lumberjack who’s also my boss, which is kind of forbidden and hot all at the same time?—”
I shut her up with my mouth, kissing her roughly until she parts her lips and lets my tongue find hers. I lift her, loving how fucking light she is in my arms. “I love you too, Sadie.”
Before I know it, we’re inside, her ass on the kitchen counter as I cup her face and kiss her like I’m a starving man, and maybe I am. “Midday sex? This is so much more fun than being in theoffice dealing with your grumpy ass,” she chides, pulling at the cord on my sweatpants. She palms my dick, and I groan.
“Haven’t you heard?” My heart rate accelerates as I palm her tits through her sweater. “Apparently I’m not as much of a grouch since meetin’ you.”
“That’s because we have sex every single day,” she reminds me. “That’s gotta do something for your stress levels.”
“Let’s see if I can make you shake as much as I did that first night in the barn.”
“That will go down as a top contender in the sex bank that lives rent free in my memory. You’ve got a lot to live up to,Lawless.”
“You’re far too intelligent for me,” I mutter, kissing her neck as I peel her sweater off and pull it over her head. She helps, following suit with her top, unclipping her bra. “I just listen to all the clever things you say and my dick is hard.”
“Such a romantic,” she sighs. She slides her hand into my sweats and cups my dick, her eyebrows raised. “No underwear? Mr. Lawless, that is very naughty indeed.”
“Yeah? Well, you’re not soniceyourself with that potty mouth you get when I’m inside you.”
“I can’t help your big ass dick practically touches my tonsils now, can I?”
I wince at that thought, nipping her chin as I reach back to her tits and pull on her nipples as she sighs, fondling me as my eyes roll into the back of my head.
“Fuck, baby.”
“I’m staying,” she whispers. “I want you, Z. I wantthis, in Alpine Falls, if you’ll have me?”
“Never heard such sweeter words.” I pause my ministrations. “Or do you just want me for my big dick?”
She laughs, shaking her head. “Do you really think your big dick outweighs His Royal Grouchiness, I don’t think so. You’re better after your third cup of coffee.”
I grin, rubbing my nose against hers. “I’ll take that as a compliment.” I rip her ski pants down, letting them dangle at her ankles along with her underwear, palming her pussy as I part her lips.
“So wet,” I mutter. “Did this sweaty mountain man get you all worked up?”
“You’ve no idea how ridiculously hot you are, do you?”
I smirk. “As long as you think so, I’m good with that.”
