Back in the Game: A Stardust, Texas Novel (40 page)

He was lost. Gone. Adrift in ecstasy.

She reached up and untied him.

He grabbed her, pulled her to his chest, whispered, “Breezy, Breezy, Breezy.”

She wriggled against him. Fierce. Tiny. Amazingly beautiful in his eyes. Dark blond hair. Bewitching green eyes. Bunny rabbit nose quivering. She sat up, stripped off his baseball jersey, flung it behind her. He spanned her waist, lifted her bottom to his face, and chewed the thin strap of her G-string panties in two.

His lover wrapped the softest material on earth around her hand, rubbed that sweet hand over the hardest part of his body, and with each caress she whispered, “One soft touch identifies the other.”

A stroke of the cheetah scarf.

A sizzle of sex.

And at long last, Rowdy Blanton was made whole.
