Chapter 9

Her lips felt like heaven on his throat. Damn. He’d gone from content to confused and now to fully aroused and hard as steel in three minutes. His head was reeling, either from her kisses or the abrupt change of emotions.

He’d been battling his attraction all week, it was a relief to have a direction for their relationship. He hadn’t come here looking for anything more than a rest before performing at Stampede, but she’d managed to turn his world upside down without doing anything but be herself. She was one hell of a woman. Kind, compassionate, strong, defiant, funny and playful. He’d enjoyed every minute he’d spent with her. Guilt niggled at his mind. He’d gone after her, hard, when he’d learned she was Elijah’s teacher. How wrong he’d been! He didn’t know how he’d ever make up for his screw-up, although she seemed to have moved past it.

God, her hands and lips felt glorious against his skin. Each nibble and lick sent blood rushing from his brain to his groin. If she kept this up, he’d never be able to walk to the house. Her fingers tangled with his shirt as he stroked her shoulders and arms. Damn!

He cupped her hands in his and held them still. “Hey. Hey.”

“Mm?” She kept kissing, stealing his train of thought.

“We need to stop this,” he muttered, forcing the words from his dry mouth. They couldn’t do this here, in the middle of a field in public. Anyone could come by. He wouldn’t do that to her. He wouldn’t shame her by risking getting caught. Their passion could wait for a more private venue.

“I thought—” She leaned back, the color drained from her face and she looked angry or maybe upset. Women confused him. He could write a damned good love song, adored by millions of women, but he sure as hell didn’t understand them.

“I want you. You have no idea how much.” He thrust his hips up gently, pressing his erection against her core. He smiled and stroked her cheek. “I want you; I need you. But we can’t do this here. I won’t take you like an animal. You deserve better. Privacy, a soft bed.”

“What if I want it here? Now?” She ground against him. “It might be fun outdoors.”

“Hell, yes. But not now, not this close to the house, anyone could come by and see us. Is five minutes of pleasure worth weeks or months of embarrassment?”

“Five minutes. You’re only good for five minutes? Maybe I need to rethink this.” Her grin told him she was teasing. She sighed and dropped her head to his shoulder, hiding her face and mumbled something incoherent against his neck.

He nipped her ear and soothed it with his tongue. “Funny. Very funny. You’ll regret that.” He started tickling her, not stopping until she begged for mercy. “Never doubt my prowess.” He winked.

She studied him, pursing her lips. “I expect you to prove me wrong. Or I’ll announce it to the whole world that Brett Wyatt’s real name is Quick Draw.
