every one of them. Except for the horses. He doesn’t have the gift for training cutting horses that Daniel did.”
“Sounds like you were lucky to have Drew here.”
Charli took a deep breath. “He’s not the one who pushed for more, you know. I invited him into my bed. I was missing…this. But it was so damn awkward. Things I didn’t have to tell Daniel, I begged Drew to do. I think he didn’t want to overstep. Didn’t want to shock me.”
“You didn’t want to have to ask. You wanted him to take charge.”
How did he know? “Yes,” she said, her voice quavering.
“You still want the man in your bed to be in charge.”
“Yes. Please.”
“Oh, baby.” His mouth followed the edge of her jaw, and she turned her head, opening to accept the lazy mating of lips and tongue. “I have so many things I’ve dreamed of doing with you. Ways I want to take you.” His hands slid up her stomach and cupped her breasts. His fingers splayed, then dug in, leaving her nipples pinched between his fingers. The pressure was delicious.
Charli rubbed her head on his shoulder, savoring the buildup. “Why’re you here, Lone Wyatt?” she asked, her voice a moan. “Don’t you have some girl pining for you back home?”
“I’ve got no one waiting on me, Charli. Just you, here and now.” His hands moved, cupping her again, then gliding down between her legs, where his fingers played with the sensitive knot swelling harder at the top of her folds.
She whimpered. “I need you to move. Do something. I’m…gettin’ restless again.”
He tongued her ear. “I’m in charge?”
“Completely.”
“Do you like a little pain, a little restraint?”
“Why are you askin’?”
“Just making sure you have a clue what’s coming. But right now, I’m about to blow. You get down on your hands and knees again. No more teasing.” He bit her ear, then grasped her shoulders and pushed her torso down.
She landed on her hands and adjusted her stance as he shifted behind her, still connected. The change of angle, the hard grip of his hands as he pulled her bottom back and forced her to tilt a little higher, made her heart race. She felt like a NASCAR racer waiting for the flag to drop, knowing Lonny was getting ready to rev zero to ninety the moment he let go.
Once she was arranged to his satisfaction, his hands roamed her back, cupped her bottom and split it. She groaned, knowing he was looking at her asshole, but not until he touched it did she have a clue he intended so much more.
The first swirl of his thumb over her entrance made her jerk. “Lonny!”
“Daniel never touched you here?”
“Yes, but only after we knew each other really, really well.”
“Did he get inside you, Charli?” he asked silkily while the pad of his finger tapped her.
“With his fingers. And a dildo once. But I didn’t like it.”
“We’re gonna change that. Your little asshole is pure temptation.” His thumb scraped it, then two fingers pressed on either side to open it.
“Jesus,” she whimpered. Moisture fell in the opening, but she didn’t jump, didn’t protest when a finger rubbed the liquid then entered her. The penetrating warmth was foreign, exotic—and this was a new lover, one without filters or censors. Someone who didn’t give a damn about her sensibilities and who’d push her past comfort.
She sensed she needed that. And didn’t feel even a smidgen of concern over the fact she was acting this way. She’d been a different woman with Daniel. A girl learning to be a wife. Lonny would teach her to be a lover.
Lonny pushed deeper and swirled his finger, easing the tightness of her inner muscles.
She burned. “Not sure I like that,” she gritted out.
He chuckled. “Liar. Know how I know you do?
Did she really want to know? “How?”
“Your pussy just gushed all around me.”
“The things you say!” she gasped, but she smiled because he couldn’t see.
His body shifted behind hers again, and his cock
