Hot in the Saddle (Heroes in the Saddle Book 1) (4 page)

Chapter Four

Treven nearly shouted with relief. Here, he’d thought Delta
looked on him with pity, the poor rancher who couldn’t do a thing for himself;
and imagined she was pacifying her guilt over ultimately causing him so much
pain. After he told her his ambivalent feelings about the reason he saved her,
he thought she’d back away even further.

But here she was, her hands on his face, pulling him in for
a kiss. And he would damn sure accept any offer she made. He pressed his lips
to hers, tugged her in tighter using just his forearms, and pushed his hips
forward. Her hips against his sent a manic plunge of heat down his spine and
into his cock. “Yeah.” Whispering the word, he tasted her, the seam of her
lips, her tongue, the roof of her mouth.

“Me too.” She dug her hands in his hair and tipped her head,
granting him deeper access, turning the kiss even wilder.

Treven wanted to pick her up in his arms and carry her to
the bedroom, but his injured hands would probably have him dropping her on that
sweet, round ass of hers. He slowed the kiss and touched his nose to hers.
“Come to my bedroom.”

“I’ve been waiting for that invitation for a week.” She
walked backward, hauling him with her, then she opened the screen door and they
made a quick retreat to his room.

Helpless. He couldn’t do anything, couldn’t touch her. But
he could use his voice. “Delta, darlin’, you are more sexy than should be
legal, and you have me totally under your power.”

Her smile went mushy and she sighed. “Wow, you’re one Texas
charmer.”

“No charm. All truth.” He kissed her neck, trailing his lips
to her ear. “I want to see you naked. All for me.” In his pants, his erection
swelled, pressing the head of his cock against her belly.

“Anything you want, Treven.” She slid her shorts down her
legs, peeled off her T-shirt, and stood in front of him in a lacy white bra and
panties, her skin glowing in the evening light filtering through the windows.

“Beautiful.” He kissed her shoulder and snagged a bra strap
in his teeth. Reaching one hand behind her, she unclasped her bra, allowing him
to pull it all the way off. Her breasts, round and firm, were tipped by dusky
rose-colored nipples.

He couldn’t resist, and bent to suckle one tight peak into
his mouth as he used his forearms to hold her thin waist, hold her where he wanted
her. In his arms, he felt her sinking, and walked her backward to the bed,
letting her sit on the edge as he took her other nipple in his mouth. Like
spiced cherries, she filled his senses with her taste, her scent, her
perfection.

Delta’s hands roamed across his shoulders and down his arms,
then up his back to cup the back of his head. She shifted and kissed the top of
his head.

He released her nipple and looked up at her. “You’re so
amazing.” She was so loving and gentle, caring, yet tough enough to run a ranch
almost single-handedly.

Brushing a lock of hair from his forehead, she trailed her
fingertips down the side of his face. “I’m amazed that it took us so long to
make it to your bed.”

Growling, he kissed between her breasts, sliding nibbles and
kisses down along her belly. “I’ve wanted you since that day in the hospital.”
He reached her panties.

She put a hand on her hip, but he nipped at her fingers. “Uh
uh. Those are mine.” He eased her back on the bed and leaned over her, kissing
along the top of her lacy underthings, then catching them in his teeth and
dragging them down. With her helping by lifting herself off the mattress, he
had her bare for him in seconds. And she was. Bare. Clean-shaven and as
peachy-smooth as anything he’d ever seen.

Leaning down, he tasted. “Yep, softer than anything I’ve
ever known.” Using his elbows, he spread her legs and knelt on the floor
between her feet. “And I’m gonna get to know you real well, Miss Delta.”

She propped herself up on her elbows.

He looked into her eyes. They’d gone dark, one forest green,
the other midnight blue.

Her breathing sped up. “Don’t leave me waiting.” Her words
rolled, soft and southern.

All Treven wanted to do was obey her every command. “Yes,
ma’am.” He dipped lower, pressing his lips to her mound, kissing along her
pouting pussy lips, lapping at the spicy taste of her.

Delta’s body shook, her exhales becoming tiny moans, her
scent flooding out and dizzying him with every breath he took.

Suddenly frustrated at not being able to use his hands, he
closed his eyes and pressed his lips against her soft, moist skin, vowing to
make this perfect for her, even if he couldn’t use his regular tricks. He used
his tongue as he would have used his finger, scooping it inside her sweet
channel, circling and thrusting.

She jerked and let out sexy little noises with each of his
movements.

Moving upward, he followed the swollen cleft until he found
the tight little bud waiting, pulsing and hot for him.

Her body shimmied and her fingers tunneled through his hair.
He was definitely in the right place. Wrapping his lips around her clit, he
sucked it in gently, then circled it with his tongue, alternately flicking it
and rubbing the flat of his tongue against the nubbin.

“Ohhh.” Delta breathed the word, then cried out twice, each
sound louder, higher. “Wait.” She tugged at his hair.

He stopped what he was doing. Oh God, had he hurt her?
“Darlin’? What’s wrong?”

Using his hair to pull his head up higher, she sat up and
looked into his eyes. “Nothing’s wrong. You’re amazing.” She shivered for a few
seconds. “I want my first time coming for you to be with you. I want you inside
me, coming with me.”

So romantic, this woman of his. Turning his head, he kissed
her arm. “Delta, you’re the sweetest angel.” He bent and kissed her thigh,
licking a quick path back to her pussy. “You sure, now?”

“No. Yes.” She laughed and traced her thumb across his lips.
“You’re mighty talented, cowboy.” Shaking her head, she sat up and grabbed the
bottom of his T-shirt. “But I want this, for us.”

He blinked a couple times.
For us?
She was talking
more than just a quick hop in his bed before she went back to her life. The
thought had his heart pounding. He wanted an “us.”

****

Delta didn’t know why she’d said that, why she’d stopped
him. She wanted this to be different. To be the one time when things were
perfect, and right, and done together, the way she’d always dreamed. She’d
never had time for relationships, and starting one with this man would change
her life dramatically. Was she ready for that? Sure, she loved the country
life, didn’t miss traveling the US in a damn trailer, but would this be enough
for her? Heck, would he even consider something longer-lasting with her?

As she pulled his shirt over his head, he stared at her,
looking a little bit startled. Surprised by her words, maybe? They eased the
shirt over his bandaged hands, then he stood.

His cock pushed the fabric of his boxer briefs and jogging
pants to the limit, pressing hard and straight out toward her.

“I love this.” Delta stroked the fabric over his erection up
and down, causing friction and heat on her palm, wanting him to feel it along
his cock.

He groaned and tried to get his hands into the waistband,
but she couldn’t let him hurt himself, no matter how much she’d like to keep
teasing him.

Pulling his clothes carefully away from the hard shaft, she
let them drop as his cock bobbed and pulsed close to her face.

“Impressive.” With a grin, she took his length in her hands,
sliding her palms along him gently. Hard and long and thick, he was more than
she’d expected, and a gift she would like to spend hours unwrapping. Leaning
forward, she licked at the drop escaping from the slit, then took his head into
her mouth, savoring the hot, salty skin of this incredible man.

He jerked and eased back an inch, popping out of her mouth.
“Same goes for me, darlin’. Let me come inside you. I’m too torqued right now
to be able to stand much more of that magical mouth of yours.”

She smiled and reclined on the bed, rolling across the quilt
to make room for him beside her.

He eased onto the mattress and rolled on top of her, his
elbows bearing his weight. An instant of narrowed eyes proved to her that this
was not a pain-free position for him.

“For now?” She wrapped her leg around his waist and pushed
with her hand.

He didn’t budge. “Yeah? What now, darlin’?” His smirk set
her heart pattering.

“How about I get to be on top?”

His jaw set.

He didn’t care to be told what to do, she knew that. But
worse, he didn’t care to be reminded of how dependent he was, how useless his
hands were right now. “Just so I don’t have to give you a pain pill, and watch
you fall asleep on me tonight.”

His brow shot up. “Since you put it that way.” He wrangled
them so he was on his back, with her lying atop his body, his hard cock pressed
tight between them.

She wriggled, letting her mound hit right on the heat of his
shaft.

Nose to nose, they just breathed for a minute, sharing air,
building anticipation.

“Darlin’, I’m gonna have to ask you to put the condom on
me.” With that low, sexy voice of his, she couldn’t refuse, and sat on his
thighs to roll on the protection.

“You’re so hot, Treven.”

“It’s gonna get hotter, Delta.” He reached for her hips then
let out an exasperated sound and lay back on the bed. “Or not.”

She hated to see him frustrated, but she knew how to turn on
the heat again. “It’ll be damn hot, cowboy, since you’re gonna tell me exactly
what to do.”

Lifting his head, he looked at her for a second, then a
wicked smirk curved his mouth. “Yeah, I like that. And you’ll obey? No
questions asked?” He quirked a brow.

This could get pretty naughty. “No questions asked.”

“All right then. Crawl up here, darlin’, and put a pillow
under my head.”

She loved how he took right to the role of demanding male.
Maybe too easily, but she’d let him have it all his way tonight. Up on her
hands and knees, his hard cock bobbed against her thigh as she stretched to
reach over his head for a pillow.

Treven took advantage and licked her nipple.

She sighed as she tucked the pillow under his head. With her
hands on his chest, she bit her lip for a second. “What now, cowboy?”

His gaze locked with hers. “Now you’ll get up on your
knees.” When she complied, he stared at her pussy. “Now touch yourself, Delta.
Press your fingers along that soft, wet heaven between your legs.”

Waves of pleasure rolled through her belly, down into her
core, making her even wetter as she slid her fingers along her pussy lips,
coating them with her musk.

“Now bring those fingers to me, let me taste you.”

Bracing herself with a hand at his side, she eased one
finger toward him.

He licked it, then sucked it into his mouth. “Wet for me,
aren’t you, darlin’. Now rub your fingers on the head of my cock.”

Back up on her knees, she coated the top of the condom with
her juices, loving the feel of him pulsing thick and stiff beneath her. For her,
just her. “What now?” She wanted to sink down onto him, take him deep, scream
his name, but this was his game to call, and she’d let him do it however he
wanted.

“Grab the base of my cock, press the head just there, on
your sweet slit.” His words came out gravelly, his eyes fastened on where their
bodies would join.

Slowly she eased her hand down his length, grasping it
tight, and wiggled her body until she sat poised on top of him, his big shaft
just at her opening. Heat filled her, flaring from his hot flesh along her
pussy, up into her core, contracting her belly and shooting hot lava up her
spine to melt her brain, in preview of the climax she knew would make her an
addict. Obsessed with Treven’s loving.

“Use your other hand.” He spoke slowly, rumbling like a
thunderstorm. “Cup my balls, hold them.”

She obeyed, gently manipulating his hot sack. Holding all
his important goodies in her hands gave her a rush of power, a burst of
something so sweet, her eyes welled up.

His entire body stiffened. “Now, darlin’. Slide your velvet
canal down on me, hard and fast.” He sucked in wild breaths. “Do it, Delta. I
need you.”

She cried out at his last words, never thinking anyone would
ever say them to her, and dropped her body straight down as she released her
hold on him. The lovely stretch, the fullness and ache of desire turned her
world foggy and intense, her body hot and tingly.

“Aw, yes.” He breathed the words as her thighs rested flat
on him, his cock fully seated inside her. “Now move, take us both there.”

Looking into his eyes, she watched them turn even darker
green as she eased her body off his shaft slowly, then dropped back down again.
She could do this forever, let him rule her in the bedroom every night.

He groaned and gritted his teeth. Was he close? As close as
she was?

They moved in sync, Delta lifting up then dropping as he
thrust his hips upward, pushing his cock deep inside her core, the friction
adding to the pleasure shooting up her spine and turning her thoughts to the
desperation of finding her release.

“I’m close. Treven. So close.”

He moved faster, thrust harder, and groaned as he stiffened.

Her head blacked out as heat melted every synapse, cocooning
her in heat and pleasure, spinning her around as darkness overtook her. She
felt his lips suckling at her nipple, and another, stronger climax tore through
her, burying her deep under waves of pleasure. Floating, she found herself lying
flat on top of Treven, their heaving chests pulsing against each other as they
caught their breath, found their brain cells, and basked softly in an afterglow
like she’d never experienced in her life.
