“I didn’t get much sleep last night,” I admit, and her eyes meet mine.
“Why not?”
There’s more than curiosity in her question. I know she’s wondering if I’m being genuine and if what I want is real. Sabrina has been burned in the past by her father with all his lies and deception. The best way for me to convince her that I’m not going anywhere is to show her.
“Because I couldn’t stop thinking about you.” Reaching down, I take her hand in mine. “All I could think about was how good you felt under me. And how sweet you sounded when you came.”
Her blush is so deep it goes down her neck and she has to look away. “Oh.”
“Among other things,” I tease as I pull her over to the baby goats. “Come on, you can feed them while you watch me bark orders.”
“Are you sure everything at the diner is okay? You cleared it with George?”
“When I asked him to cater the tour, I thought he was going to come through the phone and jerk me off.”
Sabrina snorts and then covers her mouth as she giggles behind it. “I can only imagine.”
“I told him I needed you here for the day so you could plan for the event.” I wave my hand to the barn. “So that’s what you’re doing. You’re going to play with the baby goats and chicks and whatever else you want to do while you tell me what you need.”
“Are you sure?” She still doesn’t want to believe that I’ve got her, but I can understand why.
“Sit your pretty ass down and start talking,” I tell her, and she grins so big it does something to the inside of my chest.
After that she takes a seat and that’s how we spend the day. She thinks of ideas, and I make sure they happen. From ordering supplies, calling companies, and helping move hay bales, I make her vision a reality. The tour is this weekend, so we don’t have much time, but that’s where money helps motivate people to move faster.
I’ve got a cook that feeds everyone on the ranch throughout the day, so after he serves lunch, I offer to take Sabrina out for a ride. My business partner Devin made the rounds with the cattle, and when he comes into the barn, I tell him to take over. Then I hurry to get Sabrina out of there before he can talk to her. Devin is a good guy, and it’s not that I don’t trust him, I just know how charming he can be, and I don’t want to see Sabrina smile because of him. All of those are saved for me.
“Are you sure about this?” She looks up at the horse with a worried expression.
“I won’t let anything happen to you,” I say as I pick her up and place her on the saddle. When I climb on behind her, it’s a tight fit, but I like having her this close. It’s too bad we can’t be like this all the time. “I got you,” I tell her as I brush my lips over her ear. “You’re safe with me.”
My horse Whiskey walks through the snow across the field and away from the barn. There’s a trail he likes to go on that’s by the river, and I let him lead the way.
“I’ve never seen anything so beautiful,” she says when we crest the hill and there’s nothing but rolling hills with snowcapped trees in the distance. “I never knew this was out here.”
“I like to think the previous owners kept it a secret so they could have it all to themselves.” I can’t help myself and I kiss her neck as my arm slides around her waist. I’ve got one hand on the reins, but Whiskey knows where we’re going so I don’t have to lead him. “I know the feeling.”
“You want to keep all of this for yourself?” Her breath catches in her throat when I graze my teeth over her tender skin.
“You, little star. I want to keep you all to myself.” My hand slides to the button of her jeans as I keep kissing her neck. “You’re too sweet and perfect, and I’m afraid that any minute someone is going to steal you out from under me.”
“Booker.” The word is a moan as I slide my hand inside her jeans. “What if someone sees us?”
“You think I’d let that happen?” I grin against her neck. “And what if they did?” I lick the spot under her ear, and I feel her shiver. “They’d see who you belong to. Maybe I should do this in the middle of town.”
“Oh god,” she gasps when my fingers dip into her pants and I spread her lips.
“Little star, you’re wet.” I hum with pleasure as I circle her clit. “Have you been thinking about last night?”
