“Let me,” she says, and her voice is so damn sweet.
I think about her reaching for my cock and whispering those words as she jacks me off. Yeah, I’m not going to make it all day in this state.
“I, uh, need to go back to my room and check on something,” I say as I grab my hat and put it in front of my crotch to cover my erection. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
“Great, I’ll meet you in the living room and we can go for that ride.”
I nod once then bolt out of the kitchen and take the stairs two at a time. The door is barely closed behind me before I have my cock out and I’m stroking the hard length.
For the first time, I wonder if bringing her here was a mistake.
Chapter Five
JOY
“I can’t get over how breathtaking this place is,” I tell Devin as we make our way back to the barn. I had such a good time with him showing me around. “I can get why you keep it tucked away.”
“I enjoy my privacy.”
I glance over to Devin sitting on top of his solid black stallion and think, Damn, he’s hot. He controls the horse with such ease that it’s easy to tell he’s a cowboy through and through. While riding over the property, I had the opportunity to meet a few of the men who work on his ranch. Watching him talk with them and at times take action when extra hands were needed was something else.
“Privacy is a luxury when you live in a small town,” I say, but it’s not all bad. People can be nosy in Mittenville, but along with that, there’s a sense of community by knowing each other. I suppose there’s good and bad with everything in life. I adore the town for the most part, but I’ve definitely had to pick my fair share of poisons.
“It’s not too difficult to stay out of it.” Devin shrugs. “I don’t enjoy people in my business.”
"Well, then, it might not have been the best idea to move a woman into your house and almost come to blows with her cousin," I point out.
I’m not going to mention how I’ve already gotten a few texts from people in town who saw men moving my belongings out of the apartment over my cousin's garage. They want to know where I've gone, but I'm sure word will spread soon enough.
Devin’s grunt is his only response.
We fall silent as we head into the barn, but it's not an awkward one. In fact, it's refreshing to simply exist without feeling the need to fill the quiet. We seem to be quickly getting comfortable being around each other. In fact, it's happening much faster than I anticipated. It's almost as if this natural flow is exactly as it should be.
Devin dismounts first before coming over to me and offering me his hand to help me down. I accept, but as soon as my feet touch the ground, my knees begin to buckle. Devin grabs my hips so I don’t fall on my ass.
“I should have warned you about that since you haven’t ridden in a while,” he says.
My fingers are tightly gripping the front of his coat, and my body is pressed against him. I can feel every inch of him and smell his woodsy, wintery scent. I didn't know a man could smell so damn good.
“Thanks.” I try to step back, but my legs won’t work.
“Just give it a second. You might want to soak in a hot bath tonight. You’re gonna be sore.”
“You do have quite the nice tub,” I manage to respond while my brain catches up to my body and how it’s melting into his. A warmth blooms deep in my stomach.
“You can use it any time.” Devin’s eyes drop to my mouth, and it makes me involuntarily lick my lips.
This is not good. I’ve got to get away from this man. I need to stop thinking about him kissing me because that's where my thoughts are heading. No matter how badly I want it.
“Think I’m good.” I step back and almost run into Pearl. Devin's hands release my hips, but the firmness he'd used to hold me lingers on my skin. "Do I, ah..." I start to ask, averting my gaze from him as I attempt to gather my thoughts. I’m working here. “Do I put her back in this stall?" I run my fingers down the side of Pearl's neck, and she leans into my touch. She’s a sweetheart of a horse.
“Let me show you how to get her settled in. It’s good for you to know how to get her ready for a ride and then how to bring her back. In case you ever need to use her in a hurry.”
