Today, however, wasn’t going to happen.

I was too far gone to do anything but fuck her hard and fast.

My own orgasm slammed home inside of me, a practical fist to the solar plexus as the breath rushed from my lungs.

I uttered my groan into her hair as my cock jerked inside of her.

“Fuckkk.” I buried myself inside of her and stilled.

I finally removed my hand from her mouth, and she started to giggle.

The way her muscles clenched and released around me with her laughter sent shivers of aftershock through me.

“Stop,” I cursed. “Or we’ll never get out of here.”

She turned her face up as far as she could, and I grazed my lips over her smiling ones.

“You’re trouble,” I declared.

She wiggled her hips. “And you’re still hard.”

I pulled back, thankful for once that I had a condom on so that I didn’t make a mess.

As it was, there was nowhere to throw the condom away.

I tied it in a knot, then shoved it into my pocket.

She bent over to grab her pants and yank them up. “Maybe for our next round we can actually use a bed. I have nothing against stand-up sex, after all, but I feel like I’m missing out on what you can truly give me.”

My eyes were lit with amusement when I said, “Tonight.”

She pulled one of the straps of her overalls over her shoulder and said, “Okay, tonight.”

SIXTEEN

I’m busier than a cucumber in a women’s prison.

—Magnolia to Beau

MAGNOLIA

I’d had the greatest of days.

After the tack room with Beau, we’d returned to find that no one had noticed that we’d been missing.

Iris was counting cows on the fence, having climbed halfway up the picket fence to lean in through the gap between the third and fourth boards.

Denver was laughing at something that she said, while Iris continued to chatter.

“Maybe all that you needed to do this entire time was get her into a real-life documentary,” Beau teased.

“She’s been talking a lot more lately,” I said. “I don’t know if you realize this, but you’re the reason.”

His brows rose as he came to stand at the fence directly across from Iris and Denver, placing his arms on the top rung of the fencing.

“I don’t think I can take credit for that.” He gave a chin jerk toward my new boss, Odin, who’d showed up at some point during our sex break and had joined the separating cows fun. “I think she was just ready.”

That could be true, but I still had a feeling that Beau was behind her transformation.
