The Taming (The Black Thunder Series) (21 page)

Jack ignored her and carried her out of the bar, down the wooden planked sidewalk, and to
wards his truck.

“Put me down,” she shrieked again and hit him harder.

“Be quiet, or you’ll wake the whole town!”

“I won’t,” she screamed again
. “Help, somebody help!”

Jack stopped walking, and with his free hand
gave her one good spank to her backside. She fell into dead silence. “Now be quiet or I’ll do it again.” He resumed walking, taking firm strides.

Kate
erupted into tears. “I hate you,” she wailed feeling the sting to her backside. “I hate you.”

He ignored her
till he came to his truck. He opened the driver’s side door then flopped her bottom on to the seat.

“Mo
ve over,” he commanded.

Kate scurried to the other side of the truck and tried to open the passenger door, but Jack still had a hold of her
. He sat behind the wheel then wrapped his arm tightly around her waist and pulled her to him. He started the truck and pulled out onto the main road, heading back to the ranch.

“I hate you,” Kate sputtered.

“So you keep telling me.” He looked over at her and grinned. “But somehow I don’t think so. You know what I think?”

“I don’t care what you think
.” She curled up her nose at him and tried to dismantle his arm from her shoulder but her efforts were in vain. Jack steered the truck along the hillside as the town of Virginia City disappeared from his rear view mirror.

“I think y
ou like this thing between us just as much as I do,” he stated in a serious tone.” “And we’re done playing this game. It’s time for you and me to get this right.”

“You’re crazy,” Kate
rolled her eyes and laughed as he pulled onto the dirt driveway of the ranch.

“That’s right baby I am,” he said
as he parked the truck in front of the main house and turned to face her. “I’m crazy about you.”

Kate snorted and laughed again
. She pulled away and went to slide across the seat in order to leave.

“Where do you think you’re going?” he said reaching out for her arm.

“Anywhere but near you,” she scoffed and went for the door handle.

“Not so fast, Kate
.”

She turned and saw the mischievous gleam in his eyes
. It was never good when he looked at her like that and she felt her breath hitch in her chest.
No
, she thought as her temperature began to rise but not from anger. She would not give in to his charms or his devilish ways though his heat and energy filled the cab making it difficult for her to breath.

Before she could
voice her objection out loud, he yanked her back and she fell into his arms, her body crashing against his chest. His hands stroked her back, moving upwards to her neck.

“What are you doing
?” She felt his fingers brush around her nape and into her scalp.

“What does it look like I’m doing
?” He stared with wolf like eyes as he entwined his fingers in the back of her hair.

“
Jack, can’t we talk about this?” She barely got the words out.

With a quick tug, he jerked her head back
. “We’re done talking.” And he meant it. He was done waiting and he made up his mind for the both of them that he was going to have her now. When Jack McBride made up his mind there was nothing or no one that would talk him out of it. He would not succumb to her no’s any longer when everything inside her was saying yes. “I am going to kiss every inch of you, Kathryn Harris.” His dark eyes smoldered with passion. “And when I’m done, I’m going to do it again.”

Kate gulped
an
oh my,
and practically melted into a puddle on the seat. He stared intently at her sweet lips that seemed to be begging to be tasted and her eyes fluttered closed in anticipation.

Jack slammed his mouth against hers and kissed her
. It was a rugged kiss, filled with raw need. She surrendered to his sweet invasion, capturing more than just her sweet lips. He rendered her powerless as her body submitted to his every touch. She let him kiss her and to her surprise she kissed him back.

He knew the moment she yielded to him
. Jack moved his hand over her shoulder, slipping the thin strap of her dress down over her arm. He grasped the clingy material around her chest and lowered it to her waist taking her strapless bra with it. Two full breasts appeared and he took one and cupped it in his hand, massaging her flesh like a ripe melon.

“Oh yeah baby, they are so real,” he said with great pleasure as he danced his thumb over her nipple until it became hard and tight
. He wasn’t rough, but he wasn’t gentle either. Kate purred in his mouth as his lips claimed her again.

Jack lowered kisses to her neck and then to her breasts feeling them with his mouth instead of his hand
. He tightened his hold on her hair and bent Kate backward to still her as he devoured her breast with his mouth, teasing her, teeth grazing across her pink nipple making it hard with uncomfortable pleasure. Kate gasped and instinctively released a moan of pleasure as a sweetness gripped her belly and traveled down between her thighs. He was delighted by her arousal, and it magnified his own.

“L
ie back,” he whispered his instructions as he opened the truck’s door to give himself more room.

Kate leaned back on her elbows and Jack slid her legs across the
slick leather seat until her head rested against the passenger door. Jack climbed onto his knees and proceeded to remove her boots, tossing them one at a time onto the dirt ground. Her bare toes rested on the leather seat of the truck.

“You didn’t wear socks under your boots
?” He touched the dampness of her toes.

“No,”
she suppressed a giggle.

“Oh
baby, I have so much to teach you.” A slow seducing grin formed on his face. Jack grabbed her sundress and slid it down over her bottom then tossed it too out of the truck. “Well aren’t you a pretty picture,” he said hungrily looming over her staring at the strapless bra and panties. “Take off the bra thing, Kate.”

Kate did what she was told and handed it to Jack
. Once more he flung it over his shoulder. A pleased look fell across his face. Like a cat stalking its prey, Jack moved over her taking in every inch of her body with his mouth. Kate was on fire feeling every tingle, every sensation from the man who was kissing her everywhere. He claimed her mouth again with his, taking and probing with his tongue then moved again to her breasts, fondling and sucking until she started to squirm.

“That’s it baby, keep wiggling that sweet ass of yours because that’s where I’m going next.”

Jack moved his mouth to her other breasts and repeated his rapturous assault, nipping at her flesh until her nipple peaked taught.

“Oh, Jack,” Kate released a deliciously sweet moan as her body ignited from the pleasure it was receiving
. He paused momentarily to watch her face.

“You like this between us, don’t you Kate?” he growled sexily.

“Yes,” she said with shallow breath. “Don’t stop.”

“I’m not stopping
.” He smiled, eyes dancing with triumph. “I’ve only just begun with you. But we’re going to take this real slow baby, ‘cause I want to watch you squirm and beg me to take you.”

His words made her instantly wet
. Kate couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed Jack by his hair and pulled his mouth down on hers. She kissed him like she was ravenous. He let her, and the frenzy built between them. Jack’s excitement grew. He placed deep sweet kisses on her neck and breathed hard. Like a heated breeze, Kate shivered as the sensation rippled like a wave all over her body. He felt her twitch beneath him with sensual delight.

Jack lowered his hot kisses down her neck, over her breasts, and
to her belly. He ran his hands over the firmness of her muscles, kissing and trailing with his tongue. He arrived at the point of his destination.

“These panties got to go.”

Jack jumped from the truck and placed his feet on the ground. He leaned into the truck, resting his upper torso on the seat. He kissed her feet and in between her toes, biting gently with his teeth. Kate groaned and her body began to wiggle again on its own. Jack moved his hands with slow determination up her leg, caressing the inside of her thighs. His every touch sent a wild thrill through her. He moved up along her hips and tucked his fingers around her panties. With a movement so slow that Kate thought she might burst with anticipation, he lowered them over her bottom and then her legs down toward her feet.

Jack held them in his hand
. Kate pushed up on her elbows and their eyes met. She watched as he brought them to his nose and took a deep breath. The act was so erotic she thought she might combust on the spot. Her chest began to move rapidly as her breath came in quickened pace.

“You smell good enough to eat,” said Jack as he tossed her panties over his shoulder and onto the Nevada earth.

Jack placed his hands on her ankles and with one swift jerk, he pulled her toward him. Kate’s breath caught in her throat. He positioned her like he was about to feast as he rested his torso on the seat and placed his hands between her thighs. He parted them, rubbing as he moved upward to the place he was ready to kiss next. His fingers rested along her sweet folds and he parted them like he was opening a curtain. He touched her, running lazy fingers along the place he had dreamt about since they first met. A smiled formed on his face when he felt how wet she was. He tapped the tiny mound soft and fleshy until it became hard and peaked under the tip of his finger. He circled it, tantalizingly slow then moved down to her opening. He slid two fingers inside her, gentle strokes bidding her to welcome him. He watched her face as she bit her bottom lip and tilted her head back.

“Look at me, baby,” he groaned his instructions
. “I want to see what I’m doing to you.”

Kate’s lashes fluttered open and their eyes met
. Jack watched, searching for her sensual reaction when he hit a spot she liked. He moved his fingers, rubbing until he found the place he was searching for. He knew immediately when he saw her eyes involuntarily close and her body began to squirm.

“Oh, that’s the spot,” he said huskily
. He rubbed it some more. Kate felt a sweet surge building inside her, climbing higher and higher until she needed a release. And then it happened, the lotus flower of all orgasms. She grabbed the seat and dug her nails into its leather as she cried out in ecstasy.

That was all Jack needed to hear
. He grabbed her by her hips and sunk his mouth onto her and tasted her sweetness. Kate cried again as the rushing wave climbed even higher than the first time. He suckled her hard, darting his tongue inside her. She moaned as her eyes rolled to the back of her head. He continued to drive her over the edge making love to her with his mouth and tongue.

“What are you doing to me?”
She groaned feeling no relief from his sensual torture of pleasure. Never in her life had she experienced anything like this before. Not even her ex had ever come close to doing the things Jack McBride was doing to her now. He was like a God taking her fruit and plucking her into sweet oblivion.

“Please, Jack,” she begged from a world lifted high, taking her to places she never thought possible
. “You have to stop a minute and...” She couldn’t finish her sentence as another sweet eruption drove her to a heightened state of madness but he ignored her pleas. He pressed her hips further into the seat pinning her to the smooth leather. He continued his devouring of her flesh, hearing her petitions merge with each release. He made her come, orgasms flowing with brief intermission until he was satisfied.

Jack moved his mouth to the inside of her thigh, trailing light kisses down her leg
. Kate’s legs twitched with each procession his lips made upon her skin. When he reached her toes, he stopped as a smile of satisfaction washed over him. Kate couldn’t move. She felt spent, like every ounce of energy had been drained from her body.

“Sit up,” Jack commanded as he took her hands and lifted her to an upright position
. He moved her to the edge of the seat, her legs dangling out of the truck like a rag doll. Jack claimed her mouth with his and kissed her fiercely. Kate responded, engulfed in his sensual conquest of her body. “Wrap your legs around me baby,” he whispered in her ear.

She
did as he instructed and he lifted her from the truck and carried her into the house. As they climbed the stairs he continued his rapturous assault on her flesh sliding two fingers inside her rubbing the hidden treasure he had discovered earlier. Kate buried her head on his shoulder and bit into his flesh when he made her cry out again.

“Oh God Jack, I can’t take this,” she gripped him and dug her nails into his skin
. “I want you.”

“How bad do you want me?” he growled a guttural tone as he carried her down the hall.

“Real bad,” she growled back.

Jack kicked his bedroom door open and carried her to his bed
. Kate slid from his arms falling onto the plush mattress. She crawled to her knees and began to unbutton his shirt, her hands trembling so much that she could not master the art of unbuttoning a single button. With wild abandon she grabbed the top of his shirt and ripped it open, the buttons cascading on the carpet floor. She yanked his shirt down over his shoulders as if she couldn’t get it off of him fast enough.
