Her arms dangling at her sides, she was helpless to stop him.“You don’t need to take it off to attach the sheath,” she got out.
“I know.Guess I just want to pretend that I’m taking your clothes off.”
She flushed, still unable to move.
In a leisurely manner, Ben eased the strap of leather through each loop.His touch on her hips was electric.
She felt her nipples harden, felt a warm pooling in her sex, and a thrumming excitement sing through her veins.
Her mouth went dry.
Chapter Sixteen
At that moment, a buzzsounded.In his pocket, Ben’s cell phone demanded attention.He took it out to look at the screen.
“It’s Rio,” he said to Sarah.Putting it to his ear, he listened, and after a moment, grinned.“That’s fantastic.Congrats, man.Give those babies a kiss for me and tell Becca I’m proud of her.Sarah’s right here.”He handed the phone to her.
“The babies are born?”she cried out, forgetting all about her body’s traitorous and elemental response to Ben.
“Brock and Cannon,” Rio replied proudly.“Mother and babies are doing well.The father, not so much.”He chuckled.
“How long was the labor?”
“Seventeen hours.All I want to do is sleep.I think Becca’s in better shape than I am.She’s a wonder, my wife.”
“Oh, Rio, I’m so happy for you.When you’ve all gotten some rest, I’ll make a trip to see you and the boys.”
Hanging up, Sarah smiled at Ben.“I’m an aunt now.”
“Congrats to you, too.”
Movement from the driveway drew both their attention.
Riding up the drive, Travis Butler sat his gelding’s gently rolling gate as though he were born to the saddle.
Beside her, Sarah felt Ben tense.“What’s he want?”he said.“And how’d he get in?”
