The instant his hands were off the steering wheel, he cupped the back of Deeas head and brought her roughly to him. She gasped as his tongue thrust into her mouth, his lips grinding against hers. His free hand slipped inside her halter dress, where he captured her breast and squeezed and fondled it.

When he lifted his head to look at her, his breathing was rough and his expression possessive. ad.a.m.n but I want you, woman.a Dee moved her lips to his ear and whispered, af.u.c.k me, Jake.a The rumble in his chest was deep, untamed. aLetas get in the house.a With a jerk he opened the truck door and climbed out in a hurry.

Jake might want to wait to get in the house to f.u.c.k, but Dee had other plans.

As she followed him out the driveras side door, she intentionally let her skirt slide up her hips as she climbed out of the cab. She was facing him, her garters exposed almost up to her thong underwear.

Jake braced his hand against the truck door, staring at her thighs as though head lost his brains. Well, she knew right where theyad gone. South. The perfect place to screw them out.

aOops. Forgot my things.a She turned and bent over the seat as she reached for her purse and jacket, her skirt hiking up even further. Cool air caressed her backside, which was bare thanks to the thong underwear, and she knew she was giving him a great view. She wiggled her hips and parted her thighs, letting the dress shimmy up a little more.

From behind she heard his groan, and then his warm hands pushed her dress up around her waist, completely exposing her naked bottom.

aJake,a she murmured as he caressed her bare flesh, his hands rough and possessive. aWhat are you doing?a As if he wasnat doing exactly what she had wanted him to do.

aYou drive me out of my mind, woman,a he murmured as he settled against her, his jeans rough against her flesh.

Oh, how hard his c.o.c.k felt through his jeans and against her a.s.s. Yes, good and hard. And it was totally delicious being bent over, half in and half out of his truck cab in her halter dress, high heels, stockings, garters and thong.

He kissed her bare back, trailing his lips along her spine and sending shivers through her body. Easing his hands into her hair, he pushed it away from the neck of her halter-top and unfastened the clasp. One quick jerk, and he pulled the top of her dress down until her clothing bunched around her waist.

Jake cupped her nipples and she moaned as he fondled them. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s ached and her p.u.s.s.y was so wet for him she could just about scream.

aLetas get in the house,a he murmured, his voice a low rumble and his warm breath tickling her back. aIave got to have you.a aHere.a Dee pressed her hips back against his c.o.c.k. aTake me here.a aDonat tempt me.a A groan rolled from his throat as he kissed her nape and caressed her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. aWe need to go inside.a aI want you inside. Me.a Dee covered his big hands and pressed them tighter to her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.a af.u.c.k me now, Jake.a aYouare incredible.a He removed his hands from beneath hers, and she heard the sound of him unfastening his buckle, and then his zipper going down. In the next moment his warm c.o.c.k pressed against her.

Oh, G.o.d. That felt so good.

He kneaded and fondled her backside, then trailed his fingers down the crevice. Working his way lower, he teased the curls, but didnat enter the wetness of her p.u.s.s.y.

aYouare driving me crazy,a Dee murmured as she moved her hips against his hand.

aGood.a He slid a finger into her warm p.u.s.s.y, stroking her c.l.i.t, and Dee dug her nails into the leather upholstery.

aYes. More,a Dee murmured, then gasped when he thrust two fingers inside her.

His strokes intensified. aI love how wet you are for me.a She couldnat wait any longer. She needed to feel him deep inside of her. aNow, baby. Now.a Jake stilled and rested his forehead against the back of her neck. aI donat have a condom.a aThereas one at the top of my left stocking.a With a soft chuckle, Jake felt around her stockings until he found the foil package. He slipped it out, and then hooked his fingers around the waist of her thong and eased it down around her thighs.

While he gripped her hips with his hands, he pressed his sheathed c.o.c.k against her. He teased her with slow thrusts between her legs, but didnat enter her.

Dee clenched her hands in frustration. Bent over like she was, she couldnat reach hima"a definite disadvantage. She wanted to be touching him, tasting him.

But did it ever feel incredible. The smell of his leather upholstery surrounded her, along with the scent of cool desert air and s.e.x.

He used both hands to part her p.u.s.s.y lips and pressed his c.o.c.k against her opening. Oh, thank G.o.d. This was what shead been waiting for. She needed him inside and needed him now.

Dee whimpered and moved her hips back, wanting him to hurry. But he only teased and tortured her, entering a little bit at a time and then pulling back out.

He gripped her hips. aYou really want me to f.u.c.k you right here?a aYes, dammit. f.u.c.k me, Jake!a With one powerful thrust, he buried his c.o.c.k inside her. Dee cried out, so close to going over the edge and theyad only started. Shead forgotten how completely he filled her, how fabulous it felt having him inside her.

He plunged in and out, slow and steady.

Too slow.

aFaster, baby. Harder,a Dee begged.

In reply he pounded into her, the sound of his flesh slapping against hers filling the night. aYou feel nice and tight around me.a aG.o.d but youare big.a Dee moved her hips back as he thrust into her. aYou f.u.c.k me so good.a Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s chafed against the upholstery as incredible sensations built up inside her. Knowing that shead need something to hold onto, she reached up and clenched the steering wheel with one hand, while the fingers of her other hand dug into the soft leather seat.

The intensity of her climax took her completely by surprise. It stormed through her like a summer monsoon, and she screamed. Her body rocked against the seat, her o.r.g.a.s.m stretching out in endless waves as Jake continued to thrust into her.

And then he growled deep in his throat and shuddered against her backside. She felt his c.o.c.k pulsating inside her and she pressed against him, wanting to feel every bit of his release.

ad.a.m.n, woman.a He sank against her back, slipping his hands around her waist and trailing kisses across her shoulders.

aMmmm,a she purred, enjoying the feel of him against her, his c.o.c.k still inside her. His shirt was soft against her naked back, his jeans coa.r.s.e against her thighs.

He nuzzled her neck. aAfter that scream, your dog probably thinks youave been attacked.a Vaguely in the background she heard the sound of Blue barking from inside the house. aI think you might be right.a Jake pulled away and Dee almost whimpered from the feel of his still hard c.o.c.k leaving her. Taking her by the shoulders, he turned her around, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her.

Oh, could that man kiss.

He moved his lips over hers, gently devouring her in a sensual kiss that turned her body into a ma.s.s of melted chocolate, warm and gooey, and ready to pour herself back over him.

When their lips parted, he looked at her and smiled. aDid I mention how incredible you are?a aOnce or twice.a Dee kissed the corner of his mouth, fighting the temptation to try for a fourth time. The man probably needed some time to regenerate.

Good Lord, was she becoming a nymph?

d.a.m.n straight.

Before she knew what he was doing, he grabbed her around the waist and set her on the front seat of the truck cab, then slid her thong completely off.

aWhat are you doing?a she asked as he spread her thighs, staring at her mound.

His voice was deep and rough as he replied, aI need to taste you.a He hooked her legs over his shoulders and buried his face in her p.u.s.s.y.

aJake!a Dee cupped her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, as he sucked and licked her c.l.i.t. She squirmed, crying out when he plunged his fingers into her, his satisfied groan against her p.u.s.s.y sending vibrations throughout her.

The leather seat was slick with her sweat as he devoured her, his cheek stubble rough against the sensitive skin of her thighs. She pinched and twisted her nipples, clenching her knees tight around his head. A buzzing filled her mind and she no longer felt anything but his tongue licking her c.l.i.t, his fingers thrusting inside, and the climax rising within her.

When Dee came, she dug her hands into the leather seat and shouted his name. Jake continued licking her, pushing his face against her until she climaxed yet another time. Her body shuddered with wave after wave of sensation. aStop! No more!a Jake pulled back and rested his head on her thigh, a low chuckle coming from him as Dee continued to vibrate beneath him. ad.a.m.n, but you taste good, sweetheart,a he murmured as he touched her c.l.i.t with his finger, causing her body to spasm.

aDoooonat,a Dee moaned. aI canat take anymore.

aYou know what they say about revenge.a Jake raised himself up and grabbed Deeas hands, pulling her to a sitting position.

aRevenge?a Her head was still fuzzy from the o.r.g.a.s.ms.

Pressing her close to him, Jake slowly kissed her. She tasted her own musky scent on his lips. When he raised his head, he smiled. aFor that adown undera experience at the restaurant.a aOh. That.a Dee ran her fingers along the scar that made him seem almost dangerous in the moonlight. aI like your kind of revenge.a After he fastened his belt and jeans, Jake helped Dee straighten her clothes. He closed the door of his truck, wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and walked her to the house.

They started up the steps of her porch, and then he stopped and looked toward the buildings in the back. aChrist, Dee. I forgot about the ranch hands.a aWe were on the opposite side of the truck where no one could see.a She tugged on his hand and led him up the steps. aBesides, itas Friday night. The guys always head into town, and the bunkhouse isnat even close to the main house, so no one could have seen anything.a Pausing and giving him a mischievous grin, she added, aNot to mention, it made it all the more naughty.a The corner of Jakeas mouth turned up and he shook his head. aWhat am I going to do with you?a They stopped in front of the door and she gave him a brazen look. aAnything you want.a He placed his hands around her waist and nuzzled the top of her head. aI can think of lots of things.a aMmmmm. Me, too.a Dee reached up and kissed him. She was so tempted to ask him to spend the night, but that wasnat in the plan.

What plan was that again? Oh, yeah. Enjoy the man and let him go when it was time for him to leave.

When she pulled away she unlocked the door, then turned back to him. aThanks for an unforgettable evening.a Jake glanced at the door and looked like he was about to say something, but then changed his mind.

He cleared his throat. aAh, I was wonderingaa Dee raised an eyebrow. aYes?a aTomorrow Iam going to my momas for a couple of hours, for lunch.a He ran his hand over the stubble on his cheeks. aWould you like to go?a Taking a deep breath, she asked, aTo meet your mom?a aYeah.a He put one hand against the doorframe, glanced at his boots and then back to Dee. aMom can be a bit much to handle in one sitting, though. Sheas likely to embarra.s.s the h.e.l.l out of me, and probably you, too.a With a grin Dee slid her arms around his waist. aThis I gotta see.a aYouall come then?a He looked both relieved and worried at the same moment.

aCome?a She gave him her most sultry smile. aIs that a promise?a Jake laughed and kissed her long and hard. aOn second thought, it might not be such a great idea. I may not be able to keep my hands off you.a aSounds like a wonderful idea to me.a Dee stepped away and dug her keys out of her purse. aWhat time?a aEleven?a She unlocked the door. aIall be waiting.a He kissed her again. aGood night.a aaNight.a Dee forced herself to leave his embrace. With one last smile, she slipped in the door and locked it behind her.

Chapter Ten.

Blue barked, alerting Dee that someone was coming up to the house, just as she finished b.u.t.toning her blouse. A sense of mischief came over her as she thought about greeting Jake at the front door, absolutely naked. Yeah, one of these days, shead have to do exactly that.

Instead, she left the top three b.u.t.tons undone, just enough to show the red lace bra beneath her lipstick red blouse. She couldnat wait until he got a look at her matching underwear beneath her short jean skirta"that ought to spin his spurs. She dabbed orange blossom perfume between her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, at her wrists and behind her knees. Her nipples were already tingling, and her panties wet at the thought of enjoying Jake like she had last night.

A sharp knock sounded. With Blue trotting at her heels, Dee hurried across the tile floor to the front door. Heart racing in antic.i.p.ation, she flung open the doora"but found Kev Grand on her porch, not Jake.

aHeya, Kev.a Dee managed to keep the smile on her face and the disappointment out of her voice. aWhat brings you to the Flying M this morning?a Kev pushed up the brim of his straw western hat, his hazel eyes traveling over her b.r.e.a.s.t.s in a slow perusal. aNow donat you look nice, hon.a Heat singed Deeas cheeks and she barely resisted the urge to b.u.t.ton her blouse up to her throat. aI told you Iam not your hon. Whatas up?a aI want a word with you.a He braced one hand against the doorframe and ran his hand over his mustache and down his stubbled jaw. aI thought you and I were going somewhere with our relationship, but lately, you donat seem too interested.a She caught the smell of chewing tobacco on his breath, but resisted wrinkling her nose. aWeave only dated a couple of times.a Dee sighed and shook her head. aWhere did you get the idea that wead be anything more than friends? Iave never led you on.a aItas Reynolds, isnat it?a Kev clenched his jaw. aHe comes into town and youare all over him.a Dee braced her hands on her hips and raised her chin. aI think youave said more than enough.a aDid you ever stop to think that maybe Reynolds has something to do with your missing cattle?a Kev waved toward the rangeland. as.h.i.t started happening not long before he showed up sniffing at your a.s.s.a Anger tinged Deeas vision as crimson as her blouse. aYou need to back off right now before you say something thatall really p.i.s.s me off, Kev Grand.a He nodded. aAll right. Just donat come crying to me when the b.a.s.t.a.r.d dumps you again.a As he turned and headed down the steps, he tossed over his shoulder, aOr if you find out heas the one s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g you in more than one way.a Kevas accusation about Jakeas involvement with the rustling didnat even dignify a response, as far as Dee was concerned. What an asinine way to try to get her to mistrust Jake.

aThanks for your concern.a Dee glared after Kev as he walked to his appaloosa mare. aSo nice of you to be positive Iall get dumped,a she added under her breath.

Well, so what if Jake did leave? At least she was getting what she wanteda"s.e.x, and d.a.m.n incredible s.e.x at that.

Jake lowered the visor, blocking out the morning sun as he drove down the dirt road to Deeas ranch. Did she regret what had happened between them last night? All the way home, head wavered between wonder at the incredibly erotic evening with her, and berating himself for taking her like he did.

Outside, half in and half out of his truck cab.

Ah, h.e.l.l. What was the matter with him? Dee deserved better than to be groped in the driveway and then f.u.c.ked like a teenager in the back of a car. Only they hadnat been in the back at all. Head had her bent over his truckas leather seats, next to the steering wheel.

As he drove over the cattle guard and up to Deeas house, he spotted a familiar form on horseback, heading across the rangeland.

Grand. Jake gritted his teeth as he shut off the engine. What the h.e.l.l was Grand doing at Deeas? Again he wondered if the b.a.s.t.a.r.d had anything to do with Deeas missing cattle. Head talked with Forrester and Savage several times over the past couple of weeks, but no decent leads had turned up. The only new information was that d.a.m.n near every ranch in the area had reported cattle missing.

He scrubbed his hand over his face, and then climbed out of the truck. His steps quickened as he neared the porch and Dee opened the door. Every thought of criminals and cattle dissipated with the breeze as she put her hand on her hip, giving him a smile that made him want to f.u.c.k her right there. Her auburn hair hung loose the way he loved it, and she was wearing a red blouse and short jean skirt that hugged her hips, showing her generous curves and long legs.

She c.o.c.ked her head. aI was beginning to wonder if you were going to stay out in that truck all morning.a In two strides he reached her, slipped his hands around her waist, and kissed her long and hard. aI missed you,a he murmured, trailing his lips to her ear. Her orange blossom scent flowed over him, his c.o.c.k already hard from the feel of her soft body pressed to his.

She gave a husky laugh. aItas only been a few hours.a aToo long.a He captured her mouth again, and then with reluctance pulled away.

Deeas mouth was red from his kiss, her nipples pebbled under her blouse. Her breathing came hard and fast. d.a.m.n, but he wanted to take her right there in broad daylight on her front porch.

His gaze dropped to the open neck of her blouse and his throat grew tight. She was wearing the heart pendant head given her their first Christmas together. Their only Christmas together. Head chosen the stone because it matched the color of her eyes and it was her birthstone. And he had chosen the shape because she had captured his heart.

He reached up grasped the pendant in his palm. As his gaze met hers, he smiled. aI thought you might have thrown it out in the pasture.a Lips curving into a grin, she gave a throaty laugh. aI gave that some serious consideration.a aIall bet you did.a Jake released the heart and trailed his finger down to the red lace bra peeking out. aMmmm, I like.a aWait atil you see what else Iave got on.a She gave him a s.e.xy smile and b.u.t.toned up her shirt leaving only the top b.u.t.ton undone. aCanat go visit your mother with my blouse open.a ad.a.m.n, but I preferred it the other way.a Jake kissed her again and drew back. aYou ready to face lunch with my mom?a aYou make it sound like going in front of a firing squad.a aNo, thatad be easier.a She shook her head and laughed again. aLet me grab my purse and say goodbye to Blue.a Jake had only planned to spend a couple of hours with his mom, but that wasnat how it worked out. Dory and Dee had gotten along so well, laughing and jokinga"mostly at his expensea"that theyad ended up staying for hours. Dory had brought out all the embarra.s.sing photos she could find, and told Dee stories Jake had hoped shead never hear.

By the time he and Dee climbed into his truck to head back to her ranch, it was early evening, starting to get dark.

Dee sat in the middle, next to Jake and buckled her seatbelt. aI like your mom.a aUh-huh.a He slid the key into the ignition and started the truck. aI noticed.a Grinning, she said, aMost fun Iave had in a while.a He raised his eyebrows and looked at her. aYeah?a She ran her gaze down to his lap and back to his eyes. aMake that the second most fun Iave had.a Jake leaned over and kissed her. His stomach rumbled and she gave a soft laugh.

aHungry?a she murmured against his mouth. aFor food, that is.a aYes on both accounts.a He forced himself to pull away from her intoxicating lips. aWant to grab a bite?a Dee laid her head on his shoulder and sighed. aWhy donat we pick up some drive-thru and eat it at my house?a aAll right.a His c.o.c.k was already stirring at the thought of sinking deep inside her.

They went to a fast-food restaurant that served great fried chicken, rolls, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and jalapeos. The smell of all that food wafted out to the truck and Jakeas stomach rumbled even louder.

aDo they have any cheesecake?a Dee asked before he ordered, a wicked glint in her eyes.

Jakeas d.i.c.k grew hard in an instant at the thought of the o.r.g.a.s.m shead had while he fed her chocolate cheesecake. He smiled, his gaze caressing her body, and was rewarded by the sight of her nipples puckering her light blouse.

aYou and cheesecake are a dangerous combination,a he murmured.

After Dee let Blue out into the night to do his business, she joined Jake in the dining room where head spread out all the food on the long oak table. Smells of fried chicken and mashed potatoes filled the room and her stomach growled. Head taken a couple of plates from the china cabinet and silverware from the buffet. It surprised her that he remembered where everything was kept after all these years.

The chandelier was on, the crystals casting rainbows of light around the room. Jake sat at the end of the table. She took the seat next to him, and dug into the meal.

In minutes, he finished eating another chicken breast and tossed the bones into the growing pile. aIall help you with ch.o.r.es since weare late getting back.a Dee shook her head. aMy foreman said head take care of everything today. I asked Jess this morning since I didnat know how long you and I would be gone.a aHow long has Lawless worked for you?a Jake asked in between bites of mashed potatoes and gravy.

aA couple of months now.a She spied a roll and grabbed it. aHe was referred to me by a friend of Steve Wilds.a Jake nodded. aWilds is a rancher?a aYeah.a Dee sipped her soda. aYou know him?a aIave run into him a couple of times.a aCatie is his sister.a Dee jerked her thumb north. aThey own the ranch on that side of the Flying M. So far theyave been lucky enough not to lose any cattle. Which is odd since pretty much everyone else has.a She polished off a wing and discarded the bones. As she licked the remaining juice from her fingers, she glanced up and her eyes met Jakeas. He was watching her with a look that was akin to a man in desperate need. Slowly and deliberately she sucked each finger, never letting her gaze waver from his.

With a groan, he stood and drew her up with him. aYouare driving me out of my ever-lovina mind.a aAm I?a She feigned innocence as she watched him from beneath her lashes, her eyes on his mouth.

aUh-huh.a In a quick motion he shoved their plates and food containers to the middle of the table, and pulled the chair away from the end. aItas time for dessert.a Before she knew what was happening, he grabbed her around the waist, lifted her up and placed her on top of the table. He stepped between her thighs and cupped her face with his hands. But he made no move to kiss her, just smiled and traced his thumb along her lower lip.

Her body quivered and she couldnat take her eyes off his mouth and the cleft in his chin. aAm I dessert?a aMost definitely.a Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled his mouth toward hers. aKiss me.a She felt his smile against her lips and he gave her an achingly slow kiss. Too slow. She wanted him in the worst way, yet she held back from plunging her tongue into his mouth, letting him set the pace. He smelled so good, so musky, so male.

aEvery time I had dinner with your family at this table,a he whispered as he lifted his head, aI fantasized about f.u.c.king you on top of it.a aYou did?a aUh-huh.a G.o.d, how that made her hot and wet.

His hungry mouth moved to her earlobe and she gasped as he nipped at it. aRight underneath this chandelier. Iad picture you naked, wearing only that heart necklace.a Shivers raced through Dee as he slipped his hands into her hair and slid his tongue into her mouth. He tasted spicy and wild, and she couldnat get enough of him.

Dee pulled Jakeas black T-shirt out of the waistband of his jeans. aNow, baby. I want you to f.u.c.k me now.a Jake captured her hands in his, and then kissed her knuckles. aLetas take it a little slower this time.a He put her hands in her lap and started unb.u.t.toning her blouse.

She whimpered in frustration, but let him take control.

It seemed to take him forever to get to the last b.u.t.ton. aNow in my fantasy, youare sitting here completely naked, just waiting for me.a He pushed her blouse off her shoulders and down her arms, then tossed it onto a chair. The air felt cool on Deeas exposed skin, and she quivered with antic.i.p.ation.

Cupping her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with his palms, Jake ran his thumbs over the lace bra covering her, and she moaned. He moved his hands to the front clasp and undid it, releasing her aching b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

After Jake slid the bra off and tossed it aside, he didnat touch her p.u.s.s.y like she was dying for him to do. Instead, he crouched down to remove her shoes. When he finished, he stood and unb.u.t.toned her skirt, the touch of his hands against her belly burning her like wildfire. She leaned back, bracing her palms on the table and lifting her hips so that he could slide the skirt off.

When head dropped them to the floor, he moved between her thighs and pressed himself against the crotch of her lace panties. His jeans felt rough and erotic against the insides of her thighs, and he felt so d.a.m.n hard against her.

aG.o.d, youare s.e.xy.a He moved back and traced a finger down the damp center of her p.u.s.s.y. aAnd so wet for me.a Just that light touch almost made her come. Deeas breathing grew heavier, her heart pounding in her throat. She wanted to beg him to f.u.c.k her, yet she was so incredibly aroused by what he was doing.

The table felt cool and smooth to her naked bottom as he eased her panties over her hips. He tossed them over his shoulder, then pushed her thighs apart. But still he didnat touch her p.u.s.s.y, just stepped back and raked his gaze over her body. She was completely naked with only her heart pendant on, and he was fully clothed. Shead never been so turned on.
