“Found it.” She stood and turned, holding the small crystal pitcher of cream, then shut the fridge door with a bump of her hip.
“Aren’t you hungry?” She frowned as she came back to the table and sat. “You haven’t touched a thing.”
He cleared his throat. “Ah, just waiting for you.”
She rewarded him with a smile and poured two cups of coffee. “So, my cowboy prince is a gentleman, too.”
“I wouldn’t say that,” he muttered as he added a touch of cream to his coffee. He piled pancakes on his plate and slathered them with butter and warm maple syrup. “What are your plans for the day?” he asked as he speared a couple of sausages.
Dee was just about to take a bite of pancake. Pausing, she held her fork in midair and shrugged. “I haven’t made any.”
He shoveled scrambled eggs on the last remaining spot on his plate. “Why don’t we spend the day together?”
With a smile that reached her beautiful green eyes, she replied, “I’d like that.”
Relief flooded through him, and his muscles relaxed. A part of him had been afraid she wouldn’t want to spend the rest of the weekend with him.
Dee chewed her mouthful of pancake then chased it down with a drink of orange juice. “Why don’t we go horseback riding in the canyon?”
Jake swallowed the bite of sausage he was eating and gave her a slow grin. “Up to our place?”
“Yes.” The way she was looking at him when she said it made him wonder how he managed to control himself from taking her on the kitchen table. Right here and now.
He downed his orange juice before asking, “When is your sister coming for a visit?”
“Not until December.”
“Need any help with chores?”
“Nah.” Dee smiled. “I told you yesterday that Jess will make sure it’s taken care of.”
Jake just nodded. Something about Dee’s foreman just didn’t fit. Lawless moved and worked like a professional cow hand, but Jake’s law enforcement gut told him there was more to Lawless than outward appearances. Jake’s instinct wasn’t clear on whether to trust the man or not.
And if he should consider Lawless as competition for Dee’s affection. Or was that just fouling Jake’s radar, and making him suspect an innocent man? He had no hard proof of anything, save Jess not giving Dee that one message.
Jake and Dee ate the rest of their breakfast in companionable silence. After eating, they both cleaned and loaded the dishwasher.
When they finished, he captured her around the waist and lifted her onto the polished granite surface of the kitchen island.
She laughed, her eyes sparkling, and moistened her lips with the tip of her tongue. “What do you think you’re doing, Jake Reynolds?”
“Having brunch.” He brushed his lips over hers. “And this is just the right height.”
Dee shivered. “I never knew granite could feel so cool and delicious against my skin.”
Trailing his thumb over her bottom lip, Jake said, “Especially when you’re not wearing any underwear?”
She cradled his jaw with one hand, stroking his stubble with her thumb. “How did you know that?”
“Lucky guess?”
“Uh-huh.”
Dee pulled him toward her and demanded entrance to his mouth. Her fingertips skated over his nipples, running through the hair on his chest, and working on down to the button of his jeans.
He slid his hands onto her bare ass, pushing the T-shirt up as he pressed his jean-clad cock against her pussy.
“Hey, Dean?” a masculine voice shouted from the direction of the front door.
Dee jerked her head up and yelped. She attempted to scramble down from the island, but Jake kept her butt pinned to the granite countertop.
While Dee tried to tug the T-shirt lower to cover herself, Jake looked over his shoulder and called out, “In the kitchen.”
“I found—” Jess Lawless started to say, but came to an abrupt stop when he saw Jake and Dee. “Jeez. Sorry, Dean. Didn’t mean to disturb you two.” The ranch foreman looked more amused than embarrassed at having come across his boss half-clothed and in the arms of an almost naked man. “Howdy, Reynolds.”
“Mornin’, Lawless,” Jake said, but made it clear by his territorial stance that Dee was his woman.
Dee cleared her throat, and when Jake glanced at her he noticed the pink in her cheeks. “Can this wait, Jess?”
“Sure thing.” The ranch hand nodded. “Just wanted to let you know I ran across another downed fence. This time along the Wilds’ side of the ranch.”
“Damn.” Dee pushed her loose hair over her shoulder. “You and the boys have it taken care of?”
“You bet.”
Lawless started to turn around, but stopped when Jake said, “Someone was prowling around the barn last night. Did you see anything?”
The ranch hand paused and frowned. “No. You?”
Jake related what had happened, watching Lawless as he spoke. But the man revealed nothing in his expression.
When Jake finished, Lawless said, “I’ll check it out and see if anything’s missing or disturbed.” He nodded to Jake and then to Dee. “Catch you later.”
Jake narrowed his eyes as he watched the foreman leave. He was definitely going to have to do a little research on one Jess Lawless.
Dee’s thoughts were wild with confusion. The night she had shared with Jake, the intruder on her property, Jess’s announcement that the fence was down—sheesh. All she wanted to think about was the fabulous sex she’d enjoyed with Jake, but the strange happenings kept tugging at her.
After they showered, dressed, packed a lunch and saddled a pair of horses, Jake and Dee headed to the mountain behind the Flying M ranch. The morning smelled crisp and clean, of rain-washed sky, wet earth and grass. Dee wore a light jacket, a T-shirt with no bra, and loose cotton slacks with no underwear. She was damn good and prepared to enjoy Jake there and back again.
On their way, they stopped and checked out the fence line that had been cut over night. Her efficient cowhands had already repaired the fence, boot prints, horse hooves and cow tracks all mixed up in the muddy ground so that there was no easy way to identify any one print.
When they continued on to the hideout and guided their horses deeper into the canyon, Dee vibrated with desire for Jake. Every nerve in her body was aware and alive with need, screaming for his touch, his mouth, his body. Crying out for his cock to be deep inside her. When they were out of sight of the ranch, she reined in Shadow.
Jake pulled up Whisper. “What? We’re not going to our place?”
She slid off her jacket while she studied him from beneath her lashes. “Remember how we fulfilled your fantasy yesterday?”
“Yeah.” His gray eyes positively smoldered, and she knew he was thinking of that moment when he asked her to make herself come. And then how she’d done it.
As she tied her jacket to the pummel of her saddle, she licked her lips. “I’ve always fantasized about riding double.”
He gazed at her for a long moment, taking her in from the nipples jutting against her blouse, down to where the cotton slacks hid her pussy. Without another word, he swung down from Whisper and tied the lead reins to the back of Dee’s saddle. He mounted Shadow, sliding into the saddle behind Dee, his hips glued to hers.
His erection was positively enormous. Dee sank back against him and wiggled her ass against his cock. “I wish we were naked,” she murmured.
Jake slid his arms around her waist and nibbled at her neck. “That can be arranged.”
With a soft laugh, Dee guided her gelding through the trees, Jake’s mare following behind. Rainwater slid from the leaves as they passed through the trees, lightly showering Dee and Jake with moisture. Their bodies moved together with the gentle walk of the horse, Jake’s cock growing harder against Dee’s backside, increasing the ache in her pussy.
He kissed the back of her neck, using his tongue and lips to drive her wild. “Tell me about this fantasy.”
Dee was so hot and so wet for him. “In my fantasy, you’re a desperado and you’ve kidnapped me off my horse. You’re taking me to your hideout to ravish me.”
Jake’s soft laugh tickled her skin. “And you’re the
señorita
in distress with no one to rescue you.”
She whimpered. “Touch me, baby.”
“Where do you want my hands?” His voice was a deep growl against her nape. “Tell me. Exactly what you want.”
Dee was so turned on that she was barely able to keep her eyes open to guide Shadow along the trail. “I want you to unbutton my shirt and let the breeze caress my breasts.”
He eased his hands across her, stroking her sensitive nipples through the material. Slowly he unbuttoned her blouse until it gaped open.
The intense sensation of cool air on her naked breasts caused Dee to gasp. Her nipples beaded, begging for Jake’s touch. His calloused fingers trailed lazy circles around her heart pendant and across her bare skin, but avoided where she ached to be touched the most.
“Jake,” she moaned.
He lightly bit her neck and tickled the flesh with his tongue. “What do you want me to do next?”
Dee swallowed and licked her lips. “I want your hands to play with my nipples.”
A few more circles around her breasts and then his fingers found her tight peaks. At first he just brushed them, teasing her with the light caress.
She pressed back against him and moaned as he cupped her breasts in his large palms. Then he took her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers, pulling and kneading them. Dee moved her hips against his cock, in time with Shadow’s gait, wanting the release that only Jake could give her.
“Is that all?” His mouth continued to kiss her neck and her ear, and she shivered from the exquisite sensations coursing through her.
“No.” She knew he was going to make her tell him, and then he’d give her what she wanted. “Make me come.”
He sucked in his breath and she could tell he was as aroused as she was. If it was physically possible, she would have turned around to go down on his cock while they were on horseback, taking him to the back of her throat.
The clip clop sound of Whisper’s and Shadow’s hooves kept time with the beating of Dee’s heart. Smells of horse, leather, and piñon filled the air, and Jake’s musky scent surrounded her. A breeze rushed through the trees, a sensual murmur and a whisper in her soul.
The horse moved between her thighs, the rocking motion increasing the ache in her pussy as Jake’s hands stroked her skin from her breasts to her waist. He eased one hand down to her crotch, and Dee gasped as he cupped her mound, then rubbed at her through the thin cotton material. She would have given anything to be wearing absolutely nothing at that moment.
“Touch me.” She was begging, needing him so bad she couldn’t stand it any longer.
Jake eased his hand under the elastic waistband of her baggy slacks, pausing to tease the curls of her pussy with his fingers. His breathing became as ragged as hers. “God, but it turns me on when you’re naked beneath your clothes.”
Dee barely had the presence of mind to guide Shadow to the right and onto the trail that would take them to their secluded spot. Her body was on fire, and she wished she could take Jake’s cock deep within her right then. “Now, Jake.”
He chuckled close to her ear, sending shivers through her and making her ache even more. He slid his fingers deeper into her slacks, delving into her wetness. She gasped as he stroked her, caressed her, circling her sensitive clit.
Dee clenched the reins as he drove her on until she reached the summit and climaxed, her orgasm splintering throughout her body. She cried out with her release, causing Shadow to shy and toss his head.
Her body jerked against Jake’s hand, but he still didn’t let up. Aftershocks rippled throughout her body, one after another, until finally she begged him to stop.
The intensity of her orgasm made her completely boneless, and she melted against Jake. He trailed kisses from her hair to her ear while the horse headed through the trees. Dee sighed, absolute contentment warming her body as he wrapped his arms around her.
He nipped at her earlobe. “We’re almost there.”
“When we get to our spot, I’m going to give you the best orgasm of your life, Jake Reynolds.”
“I’m ready.” His fingers played with her nipples, and his cock was oh-so-hard against her ass.
Oh, yes. That man was ready.
“Good,” she murmured. “And when we’re finished, I’m going to make you come again.”
Chapter Twelve
He felt like he’d come home.
“It’s just as beautiful here as I’d remembered,” Jake murmured when they arrived in the small canyon, their hidden spot.
Oak and piñon trees filled the secluded area. Starting from high in the canyon, a rain-swollen stream gurgled and bubbled through a series of boulders down a small incline. Dee reined in the gelding beside the stream, and Jake’s mare came to a stop behind them.
Wave after wave of memories flowed over him as he held Dee, touching the soft skin he’d bared. This was where they’d made love the first time, and many more after that. They’d shared hopes and dreams for the future—a future she’d once thought included him. Whether she knew it or not, he intended to be a part of her dreams again.
“Better get me down before I let you ravish me on horseback,” Dee murmured.
“Mmmm. I like the sound of that.” Jake slid Dee’s blouse off her shoulders and pulled it away, leaving her naked from the waist up.
Dee gasped and shivered. He slid his hands down her arms, feeling the goose bumps that had broken out from the contact of cool air against her skin.
Shadow swished his tail and stomped a hoof, but stood patiently as Jake caressed Dee’s bare flesh.
“Take off your shirt,” she demanded.
Jake put his hat on Dee, pulled off his own T-shirt, and then tossed it and her blouse onto a boulder near the stream. He put his hat back on his head as she sighed and leaned against him, her hair like silk against his naked chest. His own nipples hardened, and he throbbed with the need to fuck her with everything he had.
He moved his mouth close to her ear. “Put one leg over so that you’re sitting sidesaddle.”
With Jake’s help, Dee brought her leg over, and then she was sideways in his lap, her arms around his neck. She looked up at him, her eyes wide and that beautiful green that he knew he could get lost in.
“
Now
, I’m going to ravish you.” He leaned down to caress her mouth with his, slowly tasting her. God, he would never get enough of this woman.
His
woman.
Dee made soft little moans as he thrust into her mouth. He ran his tongue inside of her lips and along the serrated edge of her teeth. His chest brushed her breasts as he pressed her close and his ache for her increased.
Trailing kisses from her mouth, over her chin, to the hollow of her throat and past her neck, Jake worked his way down to Dee’s breasts. He licked around her heart pendant, her orange blossom scent filling his senses, as his tongue tasted the salty flavor of her skin.
They rocked as Shadow shifted beneath them and swatted his tail again.
“Jake,” Dee cried out when his mouth found its treasure, her hard, rosy nipple. “I want you inside me so bad.”
He groaned, wanting to slide between her thighs and fuck her fast and hard. But instead, he lowered his voice and said, “As soon as I have my way with you.”
“Have your way with me?” Dee sounded hesitant and exhilarated at the same time.
“Yeah.” He sucked her other nipple and looked up at her. “Remember, I’m the desperado. I intend to ravish you completely. Many times,
Señorita
.”
Her eyes widened. “Oh, my.”
“Kick off your shoes,” he commanded. When she did, Jake tugged at her waistband. “Lift your hips.” He yanked her slacks down and let them slide onto the ground.
Jake ground his teeth as he stared at the naked woman in his lap. It was almost more than he could handle. “Now spread your thighs.”
Dee’s lips parted as she obeyed, opening her pussy to him. “Okay.”
“Say,
Sí, Señor
.” Jake tried to sound gruff, like the desperado he was pretending to be.
Excitement flickered in her green eyes. “
Sí, Señor
.”
Jake caressed the insides of her thighs, lightly brushing over the auburn curls, but not dipping into her. “Now, if you’re a good
señorita
, I’ll make you come.”
“
Sí, Señor
.” She nodded. “What do I have to do?”
He shifted in the saddle and continued stroking her skin in light circles. “Play with your nipples.”
Moving her hand to her breast, Dee started to close her eyes.
“Keep your eyes open and look at me,” Jake demanded. “Or I won’t make you come.”
“Yes…
Señor
.”
Holding back a grin, he traced the curls, and then along her pussy lips. “Now beg me.”
“Please.” Dee swallowed and squirmed against his world class hard-on. “Please make me come,
Señor
.”
He slipped his fingers into her heat, and thrust them deep inside. Dee arched her back against his arm at the same time she squeezed her nipple.
Jake moved his fingers up and stroked her clit, watching her face to see her expression when she reached her climax.
It was only a matter of seconds and Dee’s body tensed and jerked as she came. The horse shifted beneath them, looked over his shoulder and snorted.
“Oh, God,” Dee cried as she shuddered in his arms.
“You mean, oh,
Señor
.” Jake laughed and kissed her lips. “You know I’m not done having my way with you.”
“Please, no.” Dee’s breathing was heavy as she stared up at him.
“Slide off the horse.” Jake helped her sit up in his lap, and then eased her to the ground, careful not to scrape her soft skin over the saddle. “Don’t move. Wait for me.”
“
Sí, Señor
.” She stood a couple of feet away from the horse, her auburn hair flowing over her bare shoulders. Her hands were at her sides and she was completely naked except for her heart pendant.
Jake couldn’t believe how much it turned him on to be playing out Dee’s fantasy. He dismounted and then took the reins and loosely tied them to a tree. The gelding and mare both stood patiently, like the well-trained horses they were.
When he finished, he approached Dee. “If you’re not a good
señorita
, I’ll have to tie you up and fuck you against one of these trees.”
“Tie me up?” Her hand moved to her throat, but he didn’t think she was nervous. No, by the look in her eyes, he knew she was as excited as he.
“Yes.” Jake kicked off his boots, and then went to the saddlebags and pulled out the blanket Dee had stored in one of the pockets. He laid the blanket out on the leaf and pine needle covered ground then stood. “Take off my pants,
Señorita
.”
Dee approached him, almost shyly, undid the top button of his jeans and eased the zipper down. When she pulled down Jake’s briefs, his cock sprung free. He sucked in his breath at the feel of the cool air against him.
She glanced up at him as he started to take off his Stetson, but she said, “No, leave it on. That’s part of my fantasy. Please,
Señor
.”
He held back a groan while she pushed down his briefs and jeans. She licked her lips as she knelt on the blanket, so close he could swear he felt her warm breath on his cock.
Jake kicked off his jeans and socks, and when Dee started to rise, he put his hand on her head. “Now pleasure me,
Señorita
.”
A grin flashed across her face, but she quickly replaced it with a meek look. “
Sí, Señor
.”
He caught his breath as she held his member in one hand and teased the head with her tongue. She licked and sucked him, lightly nibbling along his length as if he was a piece of corn on the cob. God, he’d never think of that vegetable the same way again.
“Take me deep in your throat,” he commanded.
Dee answered by going down on him and taking him into her warm mouth. Jake groaned and slid his hands into her hair urging her on. She moved up and down his cock, twisting one hand around his cock as she sucked. Her other hand grabbed his hips, holding him close to her.
He gritted his teeth, knowing he was close to going over the edge. Dee’s gaze met his while he watched himself go in and out of her mouth, and it shoved him over the chasm.
Jake shouted her name and clenched his hands in her hair. She held him to the back of her throat, moving her hand up and down, milking his semen and swallowing it.
Dee smiled and let him slide out of her mouth. She lifted her head and said, “How was that,
Señor
?”
“Fine.”
Incredible. I could die a happy man
. Jake drew her up to him, letting his hands slide through her hair to her breasts. He pinched her nipple between his thumb and forefinger, and stared into her eyes. “But I’m not finished having my way with you,
Señorita
.”
She trembled beneath his touch. “What do you want me to do next,
Señor
?”
“Feed me lunch. Naked.”
Dee felt absolutely delicious, wearing nothing but her pendant as she took the saddlebag from her gelding and returned to the blanket Jake had laid out.
In real life she would never put up with a man ordering her around. But in acting out her fantasy, it was beyond fun. One of these days she would have to turn the tables on him and play dominatrix.
He looked so incredible, like a
Playgirl
centerfold with only his black cowboy hat and a seductive grin. And his cock was big and hard again.
While he settled on a boulder beside the blanket, Dee knelt beside Jake. He swallowed and forced himself to look at the horses instead of her naked body. Shadow lowered his head and munched grass. Whisper bent one knee, resting on her other three legs, looking like she was dozing off.
Jake turned back to see Dee withdrawing four sandwiches, two squares of fudge cake, and a thermos of iced tea, setting it all onto the blanket.
She held up two sandwiches. “Egg salad or roast beef?”
“Both.” He eased onto the blanket and caught silken strands of her hair. Winding the strands around his finger, he played with them while she unwrapped their lunch. She started to hand him a sandwich, but he shook his head. “Feed it to me.”
Smiling, she tore off a bite of the egg salad and held it to his lips. He opened his mouth and she fed it to him as his eyes held hers.
They fed each other one bite of sandwich at a time, a slow sensual meal like the one they’d had at the restaurant. Only this time they were alone. And naked.
With every movement Dee made, her breasts swayed. The smell of her sex called to him, making him want to taste her pussy, to devour her. By the time they were finished eating lunch, he was more than ready to bury his cock inside her.
She reached for the chocolate cake. “Dessert?”
“Uh-huh.” Jake raked his gaze over her and heat pooled in his groin. “But I don’t want cake.”
“
Señor
?” She couldn’t believe how it turned her on to call him that. “What would you prefer?”
“You.” Jake grabbed his jeans and withdrew his leather belt. Holding his belt in one hand, he took Dee’s hand in his other and brought her to her feet as he stood.
Dee raised an eyebrow. “Uh, you’re not going to spank me with that, are you?”
Jake laughed. “No, I’m not into pain.” He glanced around their hideaway and then led her to a young tree with fairly smooth bark. “Stand with your back to the tree,
Señorita
.”
Her heart pounded faster as she realized he was going to carry out his earlier threat and tie her up like a desperado taking a young
señorita
. He brought her arms behind her and around the small tree trunk, then loosely bound them with his belt.
She could easily have pulled her hands away, but the feeling of being tied naked to a tree in their mountain hideaway was dangerous, exciting and exhilarating. With her hands bound behind her, her breasts jutted forward, her nipples hard and aching.
When Jake came back around, he frowned. “Is that bark too rough for your skin?”
“No.” Dee shook her head and did her best to look meek. “What are you going to do to me,
Señor
?”
Desire flared in his eyes. “I intend to ravish you until you scream, my little
señorita
.”
Dee licked her lips.
Jake put his hands on the tree above her head and stared down at her, his cock brushing against her belly. Dee quivered, dying for him to touch her.
He lightly nuzzled her hair, whispering endearments in Spanish, as though he was truly a Spanish lover. She breathed in the scent of their arousals as he caressed her ear with his warm breath, but still didn’t touch her, other than his cock brushing her bare belly.
“
Besa me, por favor
,” Dee begged. “Kiss me,
Señor
.”
Jake only brushed his lips lightly across hers. “You must please me if you want me to make you come again.”
“Yes.” Her body was on fire, and she trembled with the force of her need. “I’ll do whatever you want.”
He smiled and traced her mouth with the tip of his tongue. Dee parted her lips, but he didn’t kiss her like she needed. Instead, he moved his mouth lower, lightly brushing the hollow of her throat. His hands were still above her, his body separated from hers, except for the occasional brushing of his cock. He was driving her out of her mind.
Jake pushed away from the tree and just looked at her for a moment.
“
Por favor,
Señor
.” Dee arched her breasts toward him. “Fuck me, now.”
He took off his hat and tossed it on a boulder to the side. Dee sighed as he grasped her hips and pressed himself against her, his cock hard against her belly.
