Chapter 14

Holy flaming-hot Cheetos. What did she just do?

Chloe had never done anything so bold in all her life. What if he rejected her now? The light in here was too bright—every imperfection was on display. What if he took one look at her body and sneered in disgust?

And he was looking. His gaze traveled over every inch of bared skin. But he wasn’t sneering. The look that glazed Colt’s eyes was more like admiration and pure hunger. She pushed her shoulders back, standing just the slightest bit taller.

Her nipples tightened and sent a zing of pleasure to the spot between her legs. She was standing utterly naked in front of him, baring both her body and her soul, and he wasn’t running or turning away. He took a step toward her. Anticipation, hot like the feel of the warm summer sun on her skin, coursed through her as her body yearned for his touch.

He raised his hands and circled her throat, driving his fingers into her damp hair as he drew her head toward him and captured her mouth in a ravenous kiss, drinking her in as if she were cool water and he’d been dying of thirst.

His lips were smooth and slick and faintly minty like he’d just applied lip balm. She wrapped her arms around his neck, his skin still cool from being outside. The whiskers on his chin scraped her as he tilted his head, but in a good way, such a good way. His tongue slipped between her lips, and he tasted like spearmint gum.

Bending his knees, he swept his arm down her back, over her hips, and picked her up, cradling her against his chest as he carried her to his bed. She couldn’t believe this was happening. Things like this did not happen to her.

She clutched his neck, holding on and waiting for him to whack her head into a doorframe or stagger beneath her weight, but he did neither of those, and it was the most romantic thing that had ever happened to her. This whole sequence of events was so unlike anything in her scope of imagination. He was carrying her to bed, and she was completely naked. Just the idea of it made her head spin. Which was quite a feat since her stomach was tumbling and completing a spin cycle of its own.

Colt pulled back the comforter and laid her down. The sheets were cool against her heated skin, and she wanted to shiver, to curl up and pull the blankets over herself, but she didn’t. She couldn’t. She was caught in his gaze as he stared down at her, raking his eyes over every curve.

He was still fully dressed in jeans and a flannel work shirt with a white tee underneath. He still had his boots on, for goodness’ sake. But he looked as sexy as any romance novel hero Chloe could ever have imagined. In fact, he was every romance novel cowboy, all rolled into one.
