“I’m in here.” With the rest of the horse manure, he thought.
Journey stalked down the aisle between the stalls looking for him. “I can’t believe you hit him! What were you thinking? My car wouldn’t start, the battery was dead. He was good enough to help me, then follow me home to make sure I made it okay. Then – when he gets here, you go and attack him! What do you have to say for yourself?”
By the time she got through speaking, they were standing nose to nose. Her cheeks were pink, her eyes were bright, and that amazing chest of hers was rising and falling with every breath. She was all riled up and Reno thought she was the most beautiful sight he’d ever seen. “I guess I lost my head.”
“That’s no excuse. You may be from the old wild west, but we’re civilized now!”
“I don’t feel civilized,” he growled. “You touched him!”
Journey was still too mad to think straight. “I gave him a simple thank you hug.”
“Well, I didn’t like it!”
Seeing his lip turn up in a snarl just set her off again. “Well, that’s too dang bad! I just hugged him, no big freaking deal.”
“It was a big freaking deal to me!” Whatever that meant.
She threw her hands up in exasperation. “Well, I don’t know what you’re going to do about it!”
“This!” He put his hands on her upper arms to crowd close. “I’m going to do this.” The delicate sweet scent of her stole his good sense. He could feel the tips of her breasts burning his chest with every heaving breath she took.
As Journey stared into his black as sin eyes, her heart thudded madly. “I don’t see you doing anything.”
Reno licked his lips. All the anger flowed from him, leaving behind an incredible longing. He wanted her so badly he ached. “Give me time. I’m getting around to it.” She wore some type of a blouse with a square, lowcut neck. From this angle, he could see the upper swells of her breasts. “So beautiful. So soft.” He trailed the tip of one finger down the delicate curve of her neck to the sweet indention by her collarbone. “You are put together so perfectly. Like a fine piece of china.”
Journey shivered at his touch, the connection between them was electric. She held her breath as he bent to kiss her neck, the touch of his lips on her skin was as soft as the brush of a butterfly’s wing. “Oh, Reno,” she whispered. “My Reno.” Going to her tiptoes, she swayed against him, rubbing her cheek against the scruff on his. “I need you to kiss me.”
“Lord knows, baby, I need that too.” He cupped her face, looking deep into her big blue eyes. “You are a mighty temptation. Resisting you will be the death of me.”
A soft whisper of laughter bubbled from Journey’s lips. “Who said anything about resisting? Don’t you know how long I’ve wanted you?”
“Longer than you’ve known me. That’s what so bothersome.”
“Hush.” Tired of waiting for him to make the first move, Journey wrapped her arms around his neck and layered her mouth to his. She kissed him with her whole heart, rubbing her lips over his, nibbling at his mouth, and kissing the corners. When she teased the still closed seam of his lips with the tip of her tongue, she finally got the reaction she craved.
Letting out a groan of surrender, he clasped the back of her head, weaving his fingers through her hair. With his breath coming harsh and fast, he didn’t’ just kiss her back, Reno devoured her. He captured her lips, then surged inside to map the inside of her mouth with his tongue. She didn’t push him away, God no, she gathered him closer. Reno almost went to his knees when he felt her lift one leg to wrap around his thigh. His hand slid down to her firm round hip, urging her closer. When he felt her lower body nudge against his in need, he almost lost it right there. Shaking with lust, his cock was hard and full. “Oh, honey,” he moaned as he pushed his thigh between her legs, lifting her body slightly so she could ride him if she wished.
Journey was mindless in her quest for pleasure. She’d never felt like this – ever. Burying her face in his neck, she clung to him,
