Blame it on Texas Read online

  Eager to keep the sensations going, she tightened her grip on his waist, never wanting the pleasure to end. Using her legs and abdominal muscles, she kissed him. He claimed her with each hard thrust and retreat of his hips.

  He moaned, his voice deep. “Serena, yes.” With that he sped up, still in control, but more desperate. He sank deep inside her, brushing her swollen clit with each pass. She yanked him down to her, rubbing his back. His head rested on her shoulder.

  This felt so good, so right. Like she’d finally found a place to belong.

  He held still, eyes closed, his heart racing against her chest while his large hands gripped her hips. “Damn it, Serena, I don’t want it to end.” He breathed in her ear. “So fuckin’ tight. So perfect.”

  He started again in a slow rhythm of short, gentle strokes until her breathing became choppy once more. His pace changed to a harder, forceful drive that rocked her to her very core. Letting go of what little control she held onto, she gifted her trust and body to the man showing her more ecstasy than she’d ever imagined.

  As if sensing something changed within her, he stopped for heart-wrenching moments, then all the barriers were gone. They were simply a man and woman loving one another in the easiest and most complicated way known.

  She clenched around his thick length and his control snapped. He plunged deep with a primitive groan, throbbing and claiming her very depths. He lifted her up, wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tightly to him as he pressed deeper.

  “Come for me,” he demanded, his green eyes fever bright.

  “I can’t,” she protested even as her pussy tightened with need.

  “Please, I need to feel you come.”

  Her orgasm slammed into her causing her body to shake and her lungs to gasp for air. Ecstasy took her up and over the edge as she writhed beneath him while her channel clamped tight around his pistoning cock.

  “Yes. So hot, so soft…so mine.”

  She screamed his name and accepted his possession. “Kale.”

  “You’re mine, Serena. I’m yours.” His cock hit her sweet spot sending her closer to the edge.

  “Yes! You’re mine! I’m coming again,” She went rigid, eyes wide open but seeing nothing. So close to such enormous passion a kernel of fear had her holding back.

  “God, I love you, Serena.”

  The fragile strand holding her frozen snapped and the world exploded. She ground her hips up against his the next time he returned, his heavy balls teasing the crack of her ass. When he groaned in response to her action, she deliberately mimicked him, matching thrust for thrust.

  The hard ridge of his pubic bone stroked her clit in perfect symphony with the bundle of nerves deep in her pussy that he hit with every inward shove. She fell over the edge as another bone melting orgasm took her under.

  “Fuck, yeah.” He was right there with her. His cock jerked inside her seconds before she felt the hot jet of his seed trapped within the latex barrier.

  The heat of his release triggered a fresh round of brain-scrambling spasms, and she desperately gasped for air.

  “Kale. Shit, that was amazing.”

  With a whimper, she curled up on the bed. He slumped into her arms, his breath coming in heaving gasps.

  They struggled to regain control of their lungs and racing hearts. When her chest no longer pounded, she found him smiling smugly above her.

  “You think you’re so clever, huh?” she teased, running her foot up and down his calf even as she covered a yawn with her hand.

  “I think,” he replied, pressing a quick kiss to her nose while avoiding her raised arm. “I got exactly what I’ve been wanting and praying for.”

  Her heart swelled at the love in his beautiful green eyes. “So you weren’t just going with the moment?”

  “Darlin’,” he said softly before settling his weight so they lay side by side, still connected. “I’m a dumbass about a lot of things. But here’s the God’s honest truth—I’ve never told a woman I’m not related to that I love her in or out of bed. I may sing about loving bachelor life and beer, but you’re the one I really love.”

  Tears welled even though she knew how stupid it was. No one could fall in love so quickly. Could they? “How is this happening?”

  “Does it matter, Serena? I love you, and I’m hoping with everything in me you love me too. The rest is just details we’ll work out later.”

  Put like that, the rising tension stiffening her muscles drained away. He was right. So long as they had the other’s love, the rest was just white noise. Things to deal with later together.

  “God help me, country boy, but I do love you. So very much.” She whispered her confession against his throat.

  He squeezed her tight before flipping them over. When their eyes met again, Kale had a big shit-eating grin on his face. “Guess you’ll have to find a way to blame Texas all over again.”

  Feeling free, happy and at home for the first time in her long life, she laughed with her lover. “Yeah, cowboy, I’ll gladly blame it all on Texas.”
