He took a step toward the edge. “Quit acting bratty and listen to me.”
“You don’t hold rank over me on this ranch.”
When he sent her a long look, another shiver of delight brushed against her senses, along with a small quiver of apprehension. Push this man too far and he might stop talking to her altogether.
“If you insist.” Holding his stare, refusing to let him look away from the challenge she was throwing down, she emerged from the water. Her toes curled into the bank, and she walked out, not hiding a single inch of her body.
It was the first time she’d ever, ever showed a man her entire body.
Giving herself to one who didn’t want her made her fingers twitch to cover herself. She clenched her fists to keep from doing that.
When she walked up to Colton, his jaw was doing that tick thing again. The tendons looked about ready to snap.
He stared down at her, frozen. Only his eyes moved with something she couldn’t interpret.
“You should get in the water with me. Cool off.” Her voice didn’t sound like her own.
His eyes glittered like coal that would only get harder and harder and never turn into a diamond.
Without a word, he turned and walked away.
In a few steps, she caught up to him, threw her arms around his waist from behind, her cool, wet skin plastered to his broad back.
He stilled. Then in a swift move she never saw coming, he spun her around into his arms and dropped to the ground with her. Cradling her on the way down, he slammed his mouth over hers.
Her first taste of a real man stole her breath. She didn’t even think to act coy or seduce him—she gave up all control to him.
He plundered her, his hard mouth moving against hers before he swiped his tongue between her lips and took complete control.
Moaning, she opened to him, tasting desire and man and all the things she’d spent years aching for after a promise of saving herself when all she wanted was to feel this.
To feel loved.
Cherished.
Wanted.
His kisses set her on fire. In seconds, her body went from cool to blazing. When he skated a hand down her side, skimming over the curve of her breast, she writhed closer and gripped his shoulders.
Tearing from the kiss, he glared down into her eyes. “You don’t want this.”
“I do want this.”
“You don’t know what you’re saying, Meadow.”
“I want you, Colton.”
He let out a low growl that raised all the hair on her body with the primal sound of it. Then he cupped her breast, swiping his callused thumb across the tip until she cried out.
His lips hit her throat and moved downward, between her breasts. When he drew one into his scorching mouth, she arched. Ohhh, this was so good. Too good. She was going to climax just from his sucking. This was nothing at all like pleasuring herself in the dark of night under the sheets.
She cupped his head, moaning and rocking to get closer to him. Too soon, he ripped his mouth roughly off her breast, the sting just as much of a turn-on as the smacks he’d delivered to her ass last night.
Thrusting his hand between her legs, he cupped her bare pussy. She was already dripping wet for him. Her insides clenched.
Holding his stare, refusing to let him stop before he gave her what she wanted—needed—she whispered, “Please.”
“Fuck!” He stroked a fingertip over the seam of her pussy, burrowing through her sensitive folds, through the wetness until he reached her throbbing clit.
