Sweet Talking Cowboy (8 page)

When his mouth and tongue replaced the hand he’d used
against her throbbing passion, she groaned in shocked surprise.  “Slade,
don’t.”

He lifted his head and looked up at her.  “Bri, I want to do
this.  Relax and enjoy it.”

She couldn’t keep from enjoying it.  He took his time,
giving her more pleasure than she’d ever dreamed could exist between a man and
a woman.  A restrained whimper escaped her throat as the coil inside her
tightened to the breaking point and she shuddered helplessly in the throes of
release for the first time.  Still Slade didn’t stop.

When he knew she’d reached climax at least twice, he lowered
her hips to the bed and kissed his way back up her body.  Pushing with his
strong arms,he propped up over her and smiled down at the heavy eyed look of
satisfaction on her face.  He lowered his head and kissed her gently.  “I wish
there was a way to finish this without hurting you, but the first time is
always a little painful for the woman.”

Her hands caressed the length of his arms, enjoying the feel
of his cord like muscles.  “That’s not very fair is it?” she smiled at him.

“Not really, but it doesn’t last long.”  He knew that he
wouldn’t last long either but he did hope to have the pleasure of watching her
face when she reached the crest again, preferably before he did.  “Hang on,” he
groaned, “I almost forgot.”  He leaned down and retrieved the jeans he’d
somehow managed to shed.  Taking his wallet out of the front pocket, he removed
a foil packet and dropped it next to her on the bed.  “I’ll use that in a few
minutes, but I don’t want anything between us to start with.”  He stretched out
over her again.

Her hands slipped down his side and were stroking against
his firm rump, pulling him against her.  Her legs opened more as she prepared
for his penetration.

Easing into the hot moist cavity was a test of his will
power.  He felt the restricting membrane barring his entry.  He withdrew
slightly and pressed in quickly, feeling his rigid member slipping in past the
barrier.  He watched her face, trying to gage the pain he’d caused her.  Just
as he’d promised, it didn’t last long.  He was rewarded with a smile.  He
allowed her body to adjust to his intrusion and was surprised when she lifted
her hips against him.

“You alright?” he managed to ask, his voice strained as he
struggled to maintain some semblance of control over his passion.

She nodded.  “You feel so good inside me.”

He chuckled.  “Yeah, I do, but if you keep tightening around
me, it’ll be over too soon.  Just relax and let me do the work.”

Briann looked at him, her whiskey brown eyes wide in
amazement when he began to move.  She tried to relax, but soon her body was
moving with the same rhythm, her eyes closed in bliss.

“That feels sooo good,” she gasped, grabbing his hips and
thrusting against him.

Slade knew he was lost.  She was tighter and hotter than
he’d dreamed possible and all he could do was move with her body.

She felt the tightening inside her and moved with total
abandon.  Her eyes opened and she watched his face as he shoved into her and as
his face tightened in ecstasy she began to shudder with her own rapture.  She
felt his rigid muscle inside her spasm and knew they’d both found the
satisfaction their bodies had demanded.

A little later, he lay quietly, holding her against him as
they slowly regained their breath.  Her head was resting on his shoulder, one
of her arms stretched across his bare chest, one shapely leg thrown across his.

“Slade,” she whispered shyly.  “Is it always like that?”

He grinned up into the darkness of the room.  “I can’t
imagine anything being better than that, darlin’.”  He reached one calloused
brown hand down and caressed the warm pale skin of her hip.  “I’m not gonna to
lie to you, Bri.  I’ve had sex with a lot of women over the years, but none of
them have been you and it’s never been that good with any of them.”

She nipped the flesh of his breast lightly.  “You’re so cute
and so sweet.”

He slipped out from under her head and canted across her to
look down into her face.  “I’m not jokin’, sugar.  What just happened with us
was…..unbelievable.  I’ve never experienced that with anyone before.”

She felt her face turn pink, but smiled up at him.  “I don’t
know if I’ll want to ever leave this room.”

He dropped his head and kissed the tip of her nose.  “After a
while, you’ll decide you’re hungry and you’ll be ready to go someplace.”

Briann couldn’t believe she was lying here in bed with him,
totally nude, having just spent an extended amount of time in total abandon in
his arms.  She didn’t even care when he boldly pushed back the sheet, fully
exposing their entwined bodies to the subdued light filtering in through the
drapes at the window.  She trailed her fingers across his broad chest, enjoying
the hard masculine muscles with her hands.  Her eyes wondered over his body
curiously, noting all the hard muscles and even the one that wasn’t hard any
more.  She’d never seen a naked man before and found their differences
exciting.

“Slade,” she whispered, still perusing his exposed limbs. 
“You have to call Uncle Mike and Aunt Poog.”

He nodded.  “Okay,” and reached for his cell phone lying on
the night stand beside the bed.  He dropped onto his back beside her and
pressed the correct buttons for the call, then waited as the call went through.

“Mike?” he said when the phone was answered on the other
end.  “Yeah, it’s Slade.  I just wanted to let you know that Briann won’t be home
tonight………No everything’s fine.  We just decided we’d stay here tonight……..Yeah,
Mike.  She’s here with me……..We aren’t sure.  There’re things that have to be
worked out…….I know, but some things just don’t wait……..Well, just don’t worry
about her.  I’ll make sure she gets home tomorrow.  Bye.”

He closed the phone and returned it to the table and then
rolled back over lifting his upper torso above her.  “That was a bit awkward.” 
He said softly a grin tilting his full lips.  “I didn’t expect him to ask
questions.”

Briann frowned.  “What questions?”

Slade dropped back down beside her and pulled her up over
him.  He allowed one hand to comb through her hair.  “He asked if you were here
with me and if we’d thought things through.”  He saw the guilt in her eyes.  “I
guess it’s just as well that they know right off.  I don’t plan for this to be
the only night I spend with you,Bri.  This is just the first.”  His hand
slipped down over her shoulders onto her back, then on down across the soft
fleshy muscles of her bottom.  “I love to be behind you and watch you walk. 
You’ve got the cutest ass I’ve ever seen.  And to watch you on a horse is a
real turn on.”  His chuckle was heavy with lust.

“Slade Butler!”  She scolded him.  “I never dreamed you were
thinking those things when I was around you.”

He laughed softly and closed both arms around her, rolling
so now he was lying across her, looking down into her face.  “Darlin’ every man
alive is thinking those things when he looks at you.  Well, probably not your
Uncle Mike.  He was hopin’ to guard you from the rest of us.  But you don’t
have to worry about the rest of them, Baby.  I’ll make sure they know who gets
to hold you at night.  And kiss your neck, and caress your naked body.”  As he
spoke, he put his words into action.

“And I don’t have anything to say about it?”  She asked in a
weak whisper, as he was beginning to demonstrate his possession of her body and
her mind was not totally involved in the conversation.

“Not unless you feel like askin’ me for more.  I’ll
definitely listen to that.”  His voice had that gravelly coarseness that she
could now recognize as passion and his lips and hands were quickly making her
aware of how easily he could arouse her own newly discovered passion.

She pushed him back and sat up, her eyes sweeping over his
body boldly.  The sight of his aroused organ brought a gasp of surprise and she
looked at his face in surprise.

He grinned as he rolled her beneath him.  “It’s alright,
darlin’, it really does fit.”  He pushed her legs open and slipped between
them.  “Let me show you,” he said as he shifted over to ease his hips between
her legs.  His arms straightened pushing him up off the bed, above her, but
something on the sheet beside her caught his attention.  He dropped back beside
her, one hand lifting the unopened foil packet he’d dropped earlier.

Then he cursed softly and looked at her.  “Bri, I can’t
believe I….damn, baby, I got so carried away…before, I forgot to use the
condom!”

Briann felt moment of concern, but then shrugged.  “I don’t
guess there’s much chance of anything happening from one time, right?”

Slade shrugged.  “I don’t know.  Probably not.”

She shrugged again and smiled up at him.  “Too late to worry
about the past.  Just don’t forget again.”

He nodded.  “I’m just so sorry.  I’ve never, ever done that
before.”

“Good.” She quipped.  “Now, I think you were going to show
me something.  Did it involve using that condom?”

He chuckled.  “Hell yeah!  You wanna learn how to put it
on?”

When daylight brightened the drapes at the window, she woke
slowly, reaching one hand across the bed to find Slade even before her eyes
opened.  Then she lifted her head, in surprise.  He was gone!  She rolled over
and quickly scanned the room.  He wasn’t there!  Almost immediately, she heard
a key at the door, then it swung inward and Slade entered, carrying two cups of
coffee.  He crossed the room and handed her one cup dropping his mouth to hers
for a quick kiss first.

“Do you know that you sleep with one hand tucked under your
chin?  It almost made me think of a little girl, until I remembered what a
demandin’ lover you are.”  He teased her as he lifted his cup to his generous
mouth for a sip.

She smiled.  “If I’m demanding, it’s because you made me
that way.”

He dropped down to sit beside her.  “And I’ll carefully tend
to each of your demands.”  He said, pulling the sheet away from her.  His eyes
swept over her naked body before returning to her face.  He smiled.  “This is
without a doubt a great way to start the day.”

In the strong light of day, Briann was tempted to pull the
sheet back up, to conceal her nudity, then repressing her inhibitions; she sat
up straight and dropped her feet onto the floor beside his.  “Thanks for the
coffee.”

They made light conversation as they drank the warm brew,
and Slade seemed to almost ignore her state of undress.  When she finished her
coffee, she dropped the cup in the trash and stood up.  “I think I’ll take a
shower.”

She could feel his eyes on her as she crossed the room and
disappeared into the bathroom.  She adjusted the water and stepped under the
warm stream, enjoying the sense of it rolling down over her naked skin. 
Quickly she lathered and was almost rinsed when the shower door was pulled back
and Slade stepped in to join her, his already erect member safely encased in a
thin film of protection.  His eyes were heavy with desire as he pulled her into
his arms, his kisses hard and urgent, his hands almost desperate as he caressed
her wet skin.  “Seeing you lying naked in my bed really got my motor racing,”
he whispered roughly.  Recognizing the need in him inflamed her own passion and
when she knew he was totally supporting her, she lifted her legs and wrapped
them around his waist.  Their love making was nearly frantic, leaving them both
exhausted, but surprisingly refreshed.

They still had time before they had to leave, so they just
lay in the bed and held each other, sharing the soft, often meaningless
whispers that only lovers understand and when they did have to dress and leave,
they both paused at the door for one last look at the room.  “I hate to leave
this place,” Briann said slowly.

Slade kissed the back of her head.  “It’s just a room, Bri. 
The part that was so special, we’re takin’ with us.”

She giggled and turned to kiss him.  “I know, but this was
the first place.”

At the arena, they efficiently loaded the things that
weren’t already in the sleeper part of her horse trailer, including the bay
gelding and the sorrel filly and then they stood looking at each other, each
one with their own truck to drive home.

“Do you want me to follow you?”  He asked, knowing that
she’d be traveling only a little slower with the trailer.

She shook her head negatively.  “No sense in that.  You go
on ahead.  If I run into a problem, I’ll call your cell.”

He stepped close to her, wrapping his arms around her once
again.  “I hate to leave you.”

She nodded against his chest.  “Me too.”

“Will you come to my place tonight?”  He suggested
hopefully.

She smiled up at him, “You’re insatiable.”

He nodded.  “I know.  I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of
you.”

“What time?”  She asked.

“The earlier the better.”  He hugged her tightly, then
released her and stepped back, swatting her behind playfully.  “Get that sweet
ass in the truck, before we end up back at the motel.”

Briann laughed and stepped up into the cab of her truck. 
“See you later.”

Slade leaned in for another deep kiss, then pushed her door
closed and watched her drive away.  He didn’t know when he’d ever let anyone
get so close to his heart.  In fact, he smiled as he nodded to himself.  He
just might be learning how to love a woman.

Briann drove through the town, knowing that Slade’s truck
was trailing her and when they reached the open highway, he pulled up alongside
her.  When she looked over at him, he blew her a kiss, and then pulled on past
and gradually over almost an hour; she watched the back of his truck slowly fade
in the distance.

Driving home was harder once his truck was out of sight. 
She dreaded the knowing look of disappointment she knew would come from both
Aunt Poog and Uncle Mike.  And of course, she would have to call Jeffery and
let him know their plans were off.  She dreaded that maybe the worst.  She
hadn’t intended to hurt him.  She’d never dreamed that she had such feelings
for Slade.
