beds or will you feel the need to rumple them with the lovely Evan?”

Cass blushed. “My libido is in check.”
My heart? That’s a different matter.

It was midday. The sun was high and bright as Evan stood and watched Cass

talking to her chooks as if they were short, feathered people. He wondered who Cass

had back home. On one hand, he felt like he was bursting with knowledge about her

and on the other, she was a sexy, mysterious stranger who had shaken up his life

faster than he thought imaginable. He loved women. They came and went in his life.

This one? Evan didn’t want her leaving any time soon. She had captured his imagination like no other.

“I have no idea what I’m doing,” Cass told the chooks as she broke up pieces of

bread for them to eat.” This was met by much clucking. “Oh sure, easy for you to

say.” The chooks gobbled down the bread she fed them. “How did I get mixed up

with two crazy lesbians, a cut throat Sicilian and a hot jack of all trades who makes

my knees wobble when he smiles at me. I’d probably faint if he kisses me again and

that’s so embarrassing because I’m a grown up woman and not some silly girl with a

crush.”

Evan smiled at her words.
Oh, there will be more kissing but no fainting
. Cass

was built to last and to be loved hard and sweetly. He had never before come inside a

woman’s body unprotected. That was a rush that Evan had never expected. It was raw

and primal and he wanted to be all caveman-like and carry Cass off over his shoulder

and make love to her again and again.

“And all this in the midst of an annual event where they trash someone’s property,” Cass murmured to Bert and Mitzi.

“Actually, we thrash it. We don’t trash it.” Evan grinned when he saw Cass jump

in surprise. The chooks squawked madly. She turned to look at him, her cheeks

flushed. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have interrupted girl time.” His gaze roamed her face and

silence descended between them. It wasn’t awkward. It was more like waiting for

something that was inevitable to happen. “How are you settling in?”

“Okay, look, the thing is—”

“What is the ‘thing’?” He needed to talk to Cass. Evan could see she was wrought up. He was glad to see what had happened between them affected her as

well. He couldn’t stop thinking about Cass. If she felt even half as much as he did, he

would be pleased.

“We can’t do that again.”

Wrong answer, lady
. “Why not?”

“Because.”

He smiled. She was scared. That was understandable. What was between them

was amazing and the amazing shook people to their foundations and questioned who

they were. “I know we can do it again. It was good, actually great. I feel more alive

than I have in ages. That can’t be a bad thing. I don’t believe you could say it was

wrong.”

“It was—” Cass hesitated for a moment. “— was good.”

“Just good?” Evan had experienced ‘good’ before. It was adequate in scratching

itches and soothing urges. What he enjoyed with Cass was beyond that.

Cass sighed and threw the last of the bread on the ground. “Okay, it was great.”

Evan raised his eyebrows. He needed more. It was up to Cass to admit it. She

licked her lips. Silence lay between them. Evan could wait. She was worth it.

“Okay!” She threw her hands up in the air in surrender. “It was fucking amazing

and I’ve never felt like that before but—”

He waggled finger at her. “But nothing. We are fucking amazing together and I

want—”

“Wait—stop.” She put her hand on his chest to hold him back. “What we did—

what happened with us, well, the thing is it doesn’t happen like that normally for me.

I’ve never—”

“Had sex?” Evan smiled at her.
Why is she so wrought up? I’m going to have to

do something to relax her.

Cass slapped his chest. “No, that’s obviously not it. What I’m trying to say is—”

Again she hesitated. Evan put his hand over hers and kept it against his chest.

“You’re blushing. Why?”

“I’ve never—”

“Yes?” It would be so easy to lean in and kiss her.

“I’ve never had anyone, er, well,
come
inside me.”

“Really?” Evan felt ridiculously pleased. There had been many women in his life

but none that it felt right enough to love with the very essence of him as a man.

“Yeah, really.”

That she looked shy was cute. The tough talking redhead he met at the airport

was just that. Tough talk but reality was she was soft and sweet on the inside.
I want

to eat her up
. “And you liked it?” While it was not planned, he liked the feel of his

seed rushing up inside her. Maybe it was old fashioned but it gave him a feeling of

their belonging together.

“Yes.”

“Was it because it was forbidden? Naughty?” Evan pulled her closer to him. He

wanted to feel those lush curves against him once more. “Did it feel like an act of

possession?” His words were met by a breathless ‘yes’ from Cass. He felt his dick

tighten with need.

“We barely know each other.”

Evan wanted to say he felt like he had known her forever but he also understood

she was gun shy from the last man in her life.
What an idiot he had been to pass this

lady up.

“I don’t want to get involved with anyone so soon let alone be—” she stopped as

if trying to find the right words.

“—be possessed by them?” Cass nodded but she didn’t pull away. That indicated

to Evan that what she was feeling was akin to him. “It’s not a bad thing is it?”

“No,” Cass responded. “I’m not looking for happily ever after.”

Evan was. “Really?”

“Yes.”

“How come?”
And how do I change that?
Maybe it was crazy but he had never

felt this way before about anyone and not pursuing it was unthinkable to him.

“I don’t think some people can do happily ever after all that well.”

“Like you?”

Cass shrugged. “Yes.”

I am going to have to find her ex and have a man to man talk with that idiot.

Evan could see both the need and uncertainty in her eyes. “Okay, let’s not worry

about forever. Let’s just think of for now and do what makes us happy.”

“I don’t know—”

That it wasn’t a flat out ‘no’ gave him hope. “I’ll promise nothing about the

future if that makes you more comfortable. We’ll do what we feel is right and what

we want to in the here and now and worry about nothing else.”

“Really?”

No.
He wanted more but could lie in the here and now to get Cass to relax. “Yes.”

She looked uncertain. “Just sex?”

It was odd to hear that coming from a woman but he understood. “Yep. Good, old

dirty sex with no strings attached.”

“I dunno…”

“Yeah, you do. How long’s your lunch break?” Not that it mattered. He knew Flo

and Jo were flexible employers with a lot of life experience about love and lust and

what people would do to be together despite all odds.

“I have another twenty minutes but—”

He enclosed her hand in his and pulled on her arm. “Let’s go.”

“Now?”

“Yep.” He could think of nothing better than his body on hers for lunch.

There was something so wild and desperate about this that Cass willingly let

Evan pull her along. “Where are we going?’ They weren’t headed back inside the

hotel. “Aren’t we going to—”
Do I have it wrong? Aren’t we going to have sex?
A

week ago if someone had told Cass this would happen she would have laughed her ass

off and said no way.

“The barn.”

“Sex in the barn?”
Like animals?
She shivered at the thought.

“Why not?” He used his free hand to yank open the door to the old wooden barn.

It held the car Flo and Jo used for the business, supplies of non perishable food,

gardening equipment and several ladders. Evan kicked the door shut behind them.

Cass looked around her. Where were they supposed to do it? She’d picture maybe

sweet smelling hay or something. All she could see was equipment and machinery.

“But what if—”

“If someone sees us?” Evan stopped in front of the car.

“Yes.” The thought both terrified and thrilled her. Embarrassment versus an

orgasm.
No brainer that one.

Evan pushed her gently back against the hood of the car. “Would you like that?

Me up inside you and someone seeing how much you wanted it?”

Yes. She wanted that. Hard, hot, filling heat that made her mindless to anything

else but Evan and his dick. And if someone saw how dirty she was?
Oh boy.

“Evan—”

“Pull your shorts down.”

Cass hesitated.

“I want to fuck you so do it now.”

The way he said it made her legs shake. Her fingers moved down the snap of her

shorts. The fabric dropped to the ground.

“Panties next. Do it.”

Cass did as she was told. The scrap of plain white cotton fell around her ankles.

She kicked it away. What did he plan to do now? She didn’t have long to wait to find

out. Evan dropped to his knees before her. His mouth was in line with her pussy. She

looked down into his eyes. The lust she saw made her shiver. His hands ran up the

back of her legs until they stopped, cupping her ass.
Oh god, he’s not going to—

Evan licked the deep, cleft between her legs. Cass’s legs immediately widened in

response. No one had ever tasted her there. She had wanted them to but no one had.

Her fingers wound into the thickness of his hair, holding him close as he licked

and sucked at her clit. It was hard to stand still. Her legs were wobbly. If he hadn’t

had such a firm grasp on her ass, she would have fallen. “Oh, Evan,” she moaned as

he stuck his tongue inside her vagina, thrusting in and out as he would his dick.

“Please…”

He stopped, removed his tongue and looked up at her. One hand came around

from her ass and played with her clit. “What do you need, Cassie?”

“I need—” her voice was low and breathless. “—you. Inside me. Please.”

Evan smiled up at her. “Why?”

She looked at him in surprise. “Why? Are you insane? When I come, I want it to

be with you buried deep in me. I need dick. I need you.”

Evan stood up straight away, an evident bulge in his jeans. Cass dropped her

hand down to fondle it. “Don’t.”

She was confused. “Why not?” Wasn’t that what they both wanted? “Evan—”

“I want to come inside you again.” His hand reached for hers, holding them tight

in his. “May I?”

That he asked her was sweet and hot. “Yes. Please.”

“Turn around.”

Cass was confused. “We’re not going to—”

“Fuck? Oh yeah.” His hands dropped to her hips. “Turn around.”

“Oh…” Then she understood. The excitement level roared up to fever pitch. He

was going to fuck her from behind. “Hurry.”

He chuckled and unzipped her jeans. “Why?” the denim dropped to the ground.

Hard dick pushed at his underwear. The Y-fronts followed the denim. Evan pressed

his body against hers. “Why? Are you worried about going back to work late?”

“Work?”
Oh yeah…right… that.
“I want you in me now.” This was met with a

grunt of amusement and a slap on her ass.

Evan leaned her over the hood further. She was totally exposed to anything he

wanted to do to her.

“You’re beautiful.”

He made her feel so. She felt the head of his dick push into the warm, slick

wetness of her cunt. Cass pushed back against Evan. She had never felt so desperate

and needy to be filled. But then this was Evan and no other man had ever felt like this.

She gasped as he slid into the hilt of her.

Evan’s body covered hers. He leaned in and whispered into her ear. “You make

me feel so out of control.” His dick started to push in and out of her in long, deep

strokes.

Cass groaned, liking the knowledge that she wasn’t the only desperate one. “I

want you to come inside me.” To hell with political correctness. She knew what she

wanted.

“Are you sure?” His thrusts started to get harder.

Oh god, that felt so good
. “Yes, I liked it.” Her body was bouncing on the car

with the driving force buried with her.

“Really?” Evan asked momentarily stopping to slap her ass.

She squealed at the sensation that created inside her. It jerked her clit against the

metal and she whimper at the sensation.
Do it again! Do it again! “
I loved feeling

you shoot up inside me.”

“It’ll only ever be me,” Evan growled, his pace quickening.

“Yes.” A week ago she would have scoffed at the possessive tone in his voice

and called it masculine bullshit. But now? She knew she was his. She
felt
it.

He rode her hard for another five minutes. Her back was aching and her thighs

were wobbly. Her breasts were squashed hard against metal and she couldn’t move.

But damn I love it.
When he shuddered against her body and came inside her, Cass

sighed in contentment. This was what sex was about. It wasn’t prissy and clean. It was

hard and dirty leaving your body feeling used, but in a good way. Cass could feel his

cum running down between her inner thighs. Evan pulled out from her body. “Stay.”

“I’ll come back.” He reached down and grabbed his jeans. He searched through
