“Sure am. And of course, you’ll be like one of those Oscar actors who get all their outfits for free because you’re going to look so good in it.”
Sara clapped her hand over her mouth, and Cassie’s expression… Taryn couldn’t truly describe the look Cassie was giving her, but it was absolutelyallgood, and she had a feeling that her reward post-shopping would beextraspecial. Win-win.
***
Taryn waited on a comfy couch for Cassie to come out from the changing room in the next amazing outfit. Shopping had never been so much fun, and she was abigfan of shopping.
Cassie opened the dressing room curtain and stepped out in a slinky, figure-hugging, deep purple dress. She wiggled her shoulders, and the movement jiggled her breasts. With its plunging neckline, the dress struggled to keep them sheathed. Taryn gave a low growl.
“Nowthat’sa look that can give a woman confidence in what she’s wearing.” Cassie gave a demure smile before she twirled around quickly.
“It’s the womaninthe dress that makes it that appealing.” Taryn stood and circled Cassie slowly, taking in every inch of her. It was all she could do to keep her hands to herself. She leaned in from behind and whispered, “I want to drag you back into that changing room and take you right now.” She could practically feel Cassie’s soft skin under her fingertips as she mentally pulled up the dress and pushed Cassie against the wall.
Cassie shivered. “I want that too, but it’s never going to happen.”
Taryn came around to face Cassie and stuck out her bottom lip. “Spoilsport.”
Cassie arched her eyebrow, instantly putting Taryn into a heightened state of arousal.
Taryn dropped back onto the couch and crossed her legs so she could squeeze her thighs together and control her response. “Woman, do youknowwhat you do to me?”
“I know what I’d like to do to you,” Cassie said, her tone dropping south into super sexy.
Taryn glanced away then returned her gaze to Cassie’s. She knew exactly what Cassie was talking about, and she wanted it too. It had been a while since she’d surrendered her body to a woman’s desires. Taryn was more than happy to give, but that didn’t include giving herself to someone. She reserved that intimacy for women she had strong feelings for, and there’d only ever been a couple of those way back in her past, long before this stunt-show life.
But she couldn’t deny her feelings for Cassie had developed unexpectedly. What she’d thought would be a one-time thing had turned into something regular, time she looked forward to, even craved. Time she didn’t want to deny herself. When she’d gotten to Vegas, she couldn’t wait to leave; now, the thought of leaving filled her with a sense of dread she didn’t want to acknowledge. Deep down though, she knew that staying wasn’t an option. She enjoyed traveling and moving from place to place way too much to give it up, even for…
She laughed at herself. It wasn’t that. It couldn’t be that. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy what they had right now and simply accept that her body and mind were desperate for Cassie to get on her knees and put her mouth on her.
“Do you want to see any of the other dresses, or is this the winner already?” Cassie asked when Taryn didn’t respond to her overture.
“I want to see you in everything we picked out,” Taryn said. “And then we should go back to my place so you can do whatever it is you want to do to me.”
Cassie’s eyes darkened, and she took three elegant steps in four-inch heels toward her. Taryn had gotten familiar with Cassie’s various expressions, and this was a particular favorite.
Cassie shook her head slowly. She placed her finger under Taryn’s chin and lifted it slightly. “We’re taking this dress, and we’re getting out of here right now.”
Taryn swallowed and could do no more than nod. The pure desire and lust she saw in Cassie’s eyes weakened her ability to do anything else and certainly negated any notion of insisting on seeing the other outfits. It didn’t matter which of the sophisticated dresses Cassie wore for the team’s after party, she would look stunning, and Taryn would be proud to walk beside her.
Cassie returned to the changing room and was back out in magician-style time with the purple dress on her arm. After paying, she practically dragged Taryn out of the shop and jumped into her car, which was thankfully parked close by. Taryn tapped the location of her trailer and the team’s camp into Cassie’s phone and mounted it on the dash. Even with the top down, the air around them was thick with sexual promise, stifling any conversation and ramping up the tension. They’d had a lot of sex since they’d met, and Taryn had treasured every single time, but this already felt different, felt serious for both of them, like they were about to cross a line that took them into uncharted territory.
Ten silent minutes later, Taryn directed Cassie into the spot beside her trailer.
Cassie pointed at it as she got out of her car. “We’ll talk about you lying to me about the size of this later.” She came around the hood and pushed Taryn toward her home. “But first…”
She pressed Taryn against the door and kissed her. Taryn melted between the hard metal and the softness of Cassie’s body. She let Cassie dictate the pressure and speed and surrendered to her passionate intensity.
Cassie broke away slowly, but not before she’d nibbled on Taryn’s lower lip. “Let me in.”
Taryn’s lips twitched into a half smile. She was about to let Cassie in to more that her trailer, and though that made her chest hammer against her ribs, she pulled her keys from her pocket and opened the door. Cassie climbed up the steps, pulled Taryn in behind her, and slammed the door shut. She didn’t look around or check the place out at all. She just looked at Taryn, and Taryn still couldn’t find any words.
“Bedroom?” Cassie asked.
Taryn thumbed toward the far end of the trailer behind her, and Cassie ate up the space between them, guiding Taryn backward. She yanked Taryn’s shirt open and began to unbuckle her belt before they got to the bedroom door. Taryn reached behind her as she was propelled backward and fumbled the handle open. They practically fell through the door, and Cassie pushed Taryn onto her bed.
“I can do anything I want?” Cassie whispered.
Taryn appreciated the self-restraint of Cassie’s final check-in and nodded. “Anything.”
