CHAPTER FIVE

Guy bent and kissed Candy’s closed eyes, brushing his lips against them until they fluttered and lifted.

She looked up at him drowsily, but with absolute trust. Involuntarily, her arms snaked up around his neck and she pulled him down to kiss him slowly, tenderly, on his hard mouth.

He groaned, and she felt him move, so that his body shifted next to hers. The kiss grew in pressure and insistence until one long leg slid right between both of hers and his mouth demanded.

She pushed at his chest, frightened by the sudden lack of breathable air.

His head lifted. He breathed roughly, but he understood without speaking why she’d drawn back. “Sorry,” he whispered. His mouth moved to her chin, her neck and into the opening her blouse left. His lean fingers unfastened buttons, so that his mouth could move down past her collarbone and onto even softer flesh.

Her hands picked at his shirt, hesitated, as new sensations lanced through her. She loved the feel of his mouth. She didn’t protest as he eased the lacy strap off her shoulder, and his mouth trespassed on flesh that had never known a man’s touch before.

She yielded immediately, arching up to meet his lips, pushing the fabric aside to make way for it. She felt his mouth over her hard nipple and its sudden moist pressure made her moan with pleasure.

He lifted his head and looked where his mouth had touched. He traced the firm rise sensually and bent to kiss it once more, lovingly, before he righted the lacy strap and buttoned the blouse again.

Her eyes asked a question.

He smiled and bent to kiss her tenderly. “We have all the time in the world for that,” he whispered. “Right now, you’re a little wounded bird and I have to take care of you.”

Tears stung her eyes. She’d never had tenderness. It was new and overpowering.

He kissed the tears away. “Don’t cry,” he murmured. “You’re going to be fine now. Just fine. Nothing bad is ever going to happen to you as long as I’m around.”

She clung to him hard, burying her face in his throat as the tears fell even more hotly.

“Oh, Candy,” he murmured huskily. He held her close, rocked her in his arms, until she had her self-control back. Then he got up from the bed and pulled her up beside him, to hold her carefully close.

“Sorry,” she murmured on a sob. “I guess I’m tired.”

“So am I.” He brushed his mouth against her pert nose. “I’m going back to the feedlot. Can I get you anything before I go?”

She shook her head. She smiled hesitantly. “How about that fishing trip tomorrow?”

He smiled. “I’m game if you are.”

“I’ll use my medicines,” she said without enthusiasm.

“You sure will, or we won’t go,” he assured her.

She wrinkled her nose at him. “Spoilsport.”

“I hate emergency rooms,” he said simply. “We have to keep you out of them.”

“I’ll try.”

“Good.”

“Thank you for saving my life,” she said solemnly. “I know it must have brought back some terrible memories for you, having to fly again.
