Read Online Wild Ride: Lance and Tammy by Lietha Wards - Free Book Online Page A

I also know how I look to the opposite sex. I’ve had my pick since I hit puberty.  I’m a conceited aggressive, red-blooded male, so I haven’t had a problem finding female company when I need it.”
    He looked past her for a moment.  She wondered if it bothered him that she’d pressed him for information regarding his relationships, or perhaps it was that women couldn’t see past his looks and his wallet. “I’m so sorry.  I shouldn’t have pried. It’s none of my business.” She blushed bright red. It was obvious he didn’t like explaining why he’d slept with women the way he did, and really, he didn’t have to.  He was honest with her and she should have left it at that.
    His eyes studied her face and saw the embarrassment and he shifted his expression showing keen interest as if something occurred to him.  “Have you ever been intimate with a man?”
    Holy hell, this man was too darn insightful! How the heck did he figure that out? Her glow in the dark cheeks were his answer.  He sat upright slowly and a smile pulled at his sensuous mouth.
    “I’ll be damned , Tammy. That’s admirable.”
    “Do you think so?”
    “Absolutely.  I find it fascinating with all the work you do, and you do it remarkably, that you’ve never been sexually active.”
    How could he, could anyone, possibly be so relaxed about such a discussion.  Yet, here he was speaking to her about it like he was talking about the weather. She knew exactly what he meant though. She’d seen plenty of men naked and had done many invasive procedures to them.  Yes, it was difficult in the beginning, but now it was as easy as buttering bread. Her eyes met his boldly. “I never had a chance to fall in love.”
    “Love?”
    “Yes.”
    “So you are under the impression that you have to love someone to enjoy them sexually?”
    “Yes—no, well, yes I do—I think.”  She really didn’t sound too sure of herself, but she was not comfortable with the question.
    “I see.”
    “Is something wrong? I know it sounds old fashioned.”
    “No, again, I find it fascinating.  I find you fascinating. I would have never thought that you had such principles about sex.  You are so outgoing.  Most virgins have a reputation of being shy, vulnerable, and introverted. You are a true enigma Tammy.”
    Another blush hit her cheeks.
    In all the years she knew Lance, not once did he feign interest in her.  That admission sent her heart soaring. Love? Yes, she believed in love before being intimate with someone.  She loved him. “I’ve come to believe that sex isn’t the end all be all of my existence.”
    “Says the woman who’s never had the experience.” His handsome mouth graced her with another heart throbbing smile.
    “It can’t be all that—“
    “—Oh, but it is.” his smile altered ever so slightly. It went from charming to challenging showing his even straight white teeth. 
    It was a cat-that-got-the-canary smile and Tammy instantly felt a ball of heat well up deep in her pelvis.  It was a smile that told her she was oh-so-wrong and that he was willing to prove otherwise.  Leave it to her to lay a stimulating provocation at the feet of a highly intelligent accomplished alpha male.  She should have known better to give him so much information.
    “I think we’ve learned enough today.” There was a gleam in his eyes when he spoke. “You should find something to wear to your parents tonight.” He stood and stared down at her. “Black, yet elegant—ankle length and strapless, with a sweetheart neckline to show off your figure.”
    She tilted her head in confusion trying to avoid the embarrassment at his assessment of her body, “I don’t have anything like that.” why on earth was he asking for that style?
    He glanced at the time on his Rolex. “I’ll send for Vern.  You have time to shop before dinner.  He reached down and took her elbow to help her stand. “We should really make an impression, don’t you
