Hot tears spilled down her cheeks.
River wiped them away with his thumb. “Did you hear me about how I can’t stand to see you cry? I want to kiss them away.” His face lowered and he kissed her forehead.
“And you know if I put my mouth on you we won’t be eating those sandwiches you just made. I’ll take you to bed to kiss you all over.”
The smile came easy. “Eat first, then sex. Is that our new motto?”
He chuckled, brushing his lips over hers, and then straightened up. “It should be.
I’m all for it.”

Chapter Eleven
Brit couldn’t ignore the nervousness she experienced when River closed his bedroom door later that night. Drake had decided to stay a few days, hang out, and be on hand in case Kyle showed up. She paused at the bed, turned, and met River’s dark gaze. Her fingers locked together in front of her.
“I should have warned you that my brother is a shark about poker too.”
She smiled. “It was only pennies or I’d have had to take out a loan.”
He chuckled, crossing the room, stalking toward her with a grin. “We could never beat him.”
“I’m not that good at playing.”
“No one is, against Drake.” He stopped just feet from her. “Ready to get naked with me?”
She decided to be honest. “I’m a little nervous.”
“Why?” Surprise etched his handsome features.
“You saw those tapes and I’m afraid that it’s going to make you―” She gasped when River’s hand snaked out, grabbed her arm, and he jerked her hard against his body.
“I didn’t watch all of that tape and it was just one. Nothing is different between us.”
“I’m not a victim. I’m a survivor.” Her chin rose as she stared up at him. “I went to counseling.”
“I’m glad you got help dealing with that shit. I don’t think of you any differently and there’s no reason to be nervous, Brit. Nothing has changed between us. I still want to strip you bare, fuck you until you scream my name, and I think you’re the sexiest damn woman I’ve ever met.”
Warmth spread through her body. “I think you’re the sexist man I’ve ever met.”
“I knew you couldn’t resist me when I woke up to find you standing in my bedroom.”
The laugh bubbled up. “I still can’t believe I let that happen.”
His hand released her arm to slide down and he gripped her ass with both hands, molding her to his hips when he spread his thighs enough to level them out in height.
“I’m irresistible.”
“And not conceited at all.” She chuckled.
“Not me.” He brushed his lips over hers. “I’m just a simple country boy.”
“With hidden chains in your bed canopy and a ton of sex books on your shelf.”
9He turned his head and nibbled on the side of her throat. “It’s boring living on a ranch sometimes.” His tongue teased her earlobe and his hot breath tickled her. “I wanted to know as much about women as I did about horses.”
“I think you studied enough to ace any test.” Her fingers slid into his long hair, loving the feel of the silky tresses. “You know how to turn me inside out.”
“It’s only fair since that’s the effect you have on me.” River lifted his head, stared into her eyes, and then released her as he backed away. “Get out of your clothes.”
She didn’t hesitate. They stripped quickly, tossing their clothes on the floor, and then their gazes met again. River’s traveled slowly down the length of her and she fixed her attention on his hard cock, pointed right at her. River moved closer.
“Ever sixty-nine?”
She hesitated. “No. I know what it means though.”
He got on his bed, rolled onto his back, and stretched out. His muscles flexed when he did, making Brit appreciate every gorgeous, sexy inch of pure male beauty laid out before her. He reached for her.
“Want to try it? I admit, I want your mouth around me as much as I want my mouth on you. I need to be on the bottom though and my knee is acting up a little. The swelling went down and I’d like to keep it that way. I want my hands free instead of bracing my body off yours so I don’t crush you.”
She moved forward, climbing onto his big bed with him. She would try anything with River. He’d shown her so much pleasure and he promised to give her more. Her tongue darted out to wet her lips, eager to start.
He helped her ease her body over his, facing away, and scoot into position. He adjusted her knees over his shoulders as they lined up. Brit’s attention focused on the hard flesh jutting up between River’s partly spread thighs. She wet her lips again, one hand bracing on the bed while the fingers of her other hand curled around the base of his shaft.
He spread her thighs wider and she glanced over her shoulder, seeing him yank a pillow down under his head to tilt his face higher so she could feel his hot breath fanning her sensitive, bared skin. He gripped her inner thighs, backing her up just a little more before his thumbs spread her sex apart to give him freer access.
Her mouth parted as she faced forward again, lowering her head enough that her hair fell over River’s thighs. Her tongue swirled around the slightly reddened crown of his cock. River groaned in response.
“I love your damn mouth.”
Instead of answering, she took his cock inside, sucking on him lightly, teasing him.
He groaned again loudly and then the flat of his tongue pressed against her clit. She froze at the sensation that rocketed right to the pleasure center of her brain. She realized at that moment that it would be tough to concentrate on him when he was touching her.

I can do this
, she thought. She tried to block out the feeling of River’s tongue when he started to move it back and forth, causing a delicious amount of awareness as her clit swelled with need.
Her mouth worked River’s hard shaft, sucking and licking, taking him deeper when she bobbed her head up and down. She noticed the faster she moved on him, the more aggressively his mouth tormented her. He sealed his lips around the stiff nub and sucked hard. She moaned loudly at the jolt of rapture tearing through her and clamped her lips tighter around his erection.
She was going to come and she knew it. She tore her mouth away, afraid she’d bite him. Panting, head hung low, her body vibrated with sensation. River stopped a second later. His breathing had become labored as well.
“You okay?”
The ache between her thighs hurt, her need to come that strong. “I’m going to come.
Don’t stop.”
“I’m about to go too, Brit. Damn, your mouth makes me ache.”
“Me first, then you.” She turned her head. “I won’t risk my teeth near you when I do.”
“Got it.” He chuckled. “Newbie.”
“Shut up and suck on me again. That feels amazing.”
“I know. No need to tell me how good it is.” He lifted his head, wrapping his full lips around her sex again, and his tongue pressed tightly against her throbbing clit. Brit tensed, held completely still, and released River entirely to claw at his bedding when his tongue quickly slid up and down again, rasping against her.
“Yes,” she panted and then cried out loudly as ecstasy sent her to climax. Her muscles twitched hard, another cry coming from her when two of River’s fingers suddenly stretched her pussy when he entered her fast and hard, fucking her with them. The climax drew out and she thought she couldn’t take the intense frenzy of the added sensation but then he stilled when she stopped twitching from the aftermath of coming.
“My turn. I’m dying.”
He released her thighs and his hips arched, lifting his cock closer to her lips. She opened up and took him deep into her mouth. The hard flesh had no give, showing her how close he was to his own release. His hands gripped her calves and his hips rocked gently, not forcing her to take more but meeting her up and down motion as she sucked on him.
The hold on her tensed, the only warning she got, a second before River came hard.
His body shook under hers as the taste of him flooded her mouth. She swallowed over and over, milking him gently, loving every second of knowing how she could affect him. His hands loosened and he pulled his hips hard against the bed, almost totally leaving her mouth.
10“Stop! You’re going to kill me.”
She chuckled and eased him fully out of her mouth. “I know the feeling.”
“Smart ass.” He laughed and then did something totally unexpected.
Brit gasped when he rolled them, totally surprising her as her back hit the bed.
River turned around, caging her under his body while he settled down on top of her nose to nose now. He grinned while he nudged her thighs apart enough to fit his hips.
He didn’t allow his chest to crush her down but she found herself definitely pinned.
“We’ll have to keep doing that one until you feel secure enough to come with me in your mouth.”
“I see.” Her arms wrapped around his shoulders. “I liked that.”
“Give me about five minutes to recover and I’ll show you something else you’re going to like.”
Brit stared into his beautiful eyes and realized how deeply she loved him. She hadn’t meant to allow it to happen but there was no denying the way her heart pounded a bit faster when she looked at him, the soft, warm feelings she experienced when they touched, which far surpassed just physical response to the great sex they shared. He’d touched more than her body. He’d crept right into her heart and now he owned it.
River smiled. “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing worth sharing,” she lied.
“Really? You have this dazed but slightly frightened look.” He shifted his weight a little, slid down her body a few inches, and got more comfortable. “You’re safe with me.
I’d never hurt you.”
She wished that were true but when they parted, it was going to break her heart. “I know.”
“Do you?” His fingers played with her hair. He adjusted his elbows and braced his weight, giving his hands more freedom. “You don’t look so convinced. I swear I’d never hit you or do anything shitty.”
That drew a smile from her. “You mean like sabotage my engine?”
“That wasn’t me. It was my evil twin.” Amusement twinkled in his dark gaze. “I have one, you know. You’ve met the bastard.”
“I caught you with grease on your hands and you admitted it quite blatantly.”
“Oh yeah.” River winked. “It was worth a shot that you might believe that one.”
“You’re bad, blaming your poor brother.”
All humor left his face. “I’d never hurt you, Brit. I’d never hit you or force you to do anything you don’t want, well, besides stay here, but that’s because I want to make sure you’re safe.”
Sincerity was an easy thing to recognize in his intense gaze. “I believe you.”
10“Then what was that look for? Don’t tell me it’s nothing. What were you thinking about? I thought maybe my sudden movement scared you but that wasn’t it, was it? I’m pretty good at reading people.”
Inhaling, she took a deep breath. Indecision had her faltering but then she decided to go with the truth, at least partly. “I realized how much I like you. I don’t want to get attached to anyone, I’m so screwed up a relationship is the last thing I probably need, and you’re not the relationship type even if I were willing to give one a try.”
Understanding dawned. “I’m scaring the crap out of you, huh?” He chuckled. “I’m under your skin.”
“You don’t have to look so damn happy about it.”
“I am.” His leaned his face forward until their noses brushed. “You scare the crap out of me too, Fuck And Run.”
Her fingers squeezed his shoulders. “That’s not funny.” She still smiled.
“I love seeing that flare in your eyes when I call you that.”
“That’s anger.”
“No, it’s not. You think I’m cute.”
“I think you’re an ass.”
Another chuckle rumbled from him. “But a cute one you can’t resist.”
Brit wrapped her legs around his hips and rubbed her heels on the firm, rounded ass he spoke of. “It
is
the best one I’ve ever seen.”
“Let’s stop worrying about where we’re heading and just enjoy being together.”
Her fingers slid upward into his silky hair. “You make it sound so easy.”
“I know. It’s getting complicated but I don’t give a damn. We’re together, we’re happy when we are, and that’s all that matters.”
She nodded. “For now.”
“Yeah.” River shifted his hips and lifted them slightly. His cock had hardened and he pressed against her, slowly entering her pussy. “Speaking of now…”
Brit softly moaned, tilting her hips upward to help him slide deeper inside. The feeling of River sinking deep inside her body made nerve endings come alive. “You feel so good.”
“So do you. So wet, so welcoming and tight.” He withdrew a little and settled down more firmly between her spread thighs. “So right. So mine. You feel like heaven without the condom. Thank you, Brit. Damn, this feels amazing. You have no idea how much I wanted to know how it would feel with nothing between us.”
“Move faster.” She wiggled her hips to urge him on.
“Slow and easy.” His mouth lowered to hers and he brushed his full lips against her seeking ones. “I want to make love to you this time.”
He took possession of her mouth fully when his tongue slid past her lips, exploring her slowly, savoring each moment. He didn’t kiss her the way he had before. This time 10he took his time. His hips leisurely rocked, moving his cock inside her torturously with shallow motions that teased and made her ache for more.
When he broke the kiss, they stared deeply into each other’s eyes. The pleasure blurred as River heightened her passion until the smooth flow of their bodies rubbing together had her panting hard and bucking against him faster, trying frantically to reach release.
River lowered his head and his hair teased her shoulder as his hot breath fanned her neck. Brit’s eyes closed as his mouth parted and teeth bit down on the top of her shoulder where it met her neck. The nip he gave her was the last straw. The climax gripped her as she cried out his name, her nails digging into his skin. River groaned against her and his cock jerked inside her as he came.
“Heaven, Brit. That’s what you are to me.”
Brit knew she would be in a world of hurt when it was time to leave as she clung to him while trying to catch her breath. River was an unforgettable man, one who would haunt her after they parted and she only had the ghost of his memory to keep her company in bed. She wouldn’t admit it to him but she couldn’t lie to herself. The man had not only gotten her addicted to him physically but she had fallen hard for him emotionally.
