If you asked where this sudden surge of bravery came from,
I’d have to be honest. I had no fucking idea. Stuart rode into the barn looking
like sex on two legs… very tired sex on two legs, but sex on two legs all the
same, and I made up my mind. After the way he kissed me yesterday, I didn’t
care what type of bullshit line he tried to spin, Stuart Knight was in the same
space as me. He was fighting hard, but he wanted this.
Now I was in his bedroom ordering him around, and he was
actually allowing it. Humoring me, more like it. Not for one minute was I
suffering from the delusion that this man took orders from anyone. Still, for
whatever reason, exhaustion or simple curiosity, he let me take the lead.
Once his shirt was
off, I couldn’t hide the hitch in my breath at the site of his lined torso.
Ridges crossed his abdomen, lines stretched across his broad shoulders and down
his arms. He lay on his stomach across the mattress, and it was all I could do
not to run my tongue over every inch of his beautiful body. Instead, I quickly
took off my boots, and for increased mobility (yes, that was my excuse), I
removed my denim shorts.
Lightly I smoothed my palm across his lower back, trying to
remember the touches I’d learned in the few massage therapy classes I’d taken.
Why hadn’t I taken more? Kneading a little harder, I knew I had to get lower,
down into the pelvic area to give him relief.
“Do you mind if I remove your boxers?” My voice was
breathless and trembling. Those snug, dark briefs didn’t hide much, but I knew
once I saw that ass, I’d be a goner.
“No.”
One word. He’d sounded almost as cautious as me when he said
it. Closing my eyes, I shook myself. Now was the time. This was my man. If I
was going to make it happen, if I was going to make any of this make sense,
from the day I left Bayville to this moment, I had to go for it. Fate had
dropped this opportunity straight in my lap.
Inhaling a quiet breath, I gently pulled the waistband out
and lowered it down his legs. I knew what was on the other side, pressed
between his pelvis and the mattress, and I didn’t want to hurt him.
Miraculously, I got his underwear off, and
Oh.
My.
God.
Square and tight, with palm-sized indentations on each side…
For a moment, I could only stare at his backside. Perfect and golden as the
rest of him.
Climbing back onto my knees, I took the quietest deep breath
in the history of recorded time. It trembled going in, and my hand trembled
reaching out. I touched him. He seemed to breathe at that exact moment as
well—almost as if he’d been holding his breath, too.
