Standing over Steed, I watched while he cradled his head in his hands.
“This is payback. Karma. My sin coming back to haunt me.”
Sighing, I kicked at his boot. “Stop it. You’re making a big deal out of nothing. I thought we were going to ride.”
He glanced up at me. “Are you sure you can keep an eye on this little Timothy bastard?”
I grimaced. “Steed, I don’t think you should be calling my students names like bastard and little prick.”
He scoffed and stood up. I was about to say more but my voice caught in my throat. I was so taken by this man’s beauty that I struggled to think straight, let alone speak. His blue eyes popped against the off-white cowboy hat. My eyes traveled down to the day-old scruff on his face. I wanted desperately to feel it against my skin.
Moving my gaze farther down, his tight blue T-shirt showed off his perfect broad chest and I swear you could see the faint outline of his six-pack abs. To say he had a nice body would be putting it lightly. His body was amazing. It was clear the man worked out. A lot.
The tight Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots finished off the package. And what a freaking hot package. My mouth watered, but at the same time felt dry. My tongue zipped out and ran over my lips…anything to make my dry mouth feel wetter.
Steed took a few steps towards me, and I backed up until I bumped into Allure.
“You look like you’ve got something on your mind, Pax.”
Oh, I do. You. Inside me. On top of me. Behind me. Making me scream out your name.
“I, um… I…um…”
I’d planned on telling Steed I was ready to take the next step today. I didn’t think I could stand another moment with his burning hot body near me. I ached for his touch. Longed to have him do all the things he had been promising to do.
He lifted his hand and ran the back of it over my cheek, causing me to tremble. A slight lift to the corner of his mouth proved he was gauging my reactions. “Tell me, Pax. Tell me what you want.”
I knew in my heart Steed meant every single word he had said about leaving, not coming home, being torn up about our child. His promise to never hurt me again. My stupid head was the one arguing with my heart.
I closed my eyes. I was tired of listening to my head. It was time to follow my heart.
Focusing only on him, I whispered, “You. I want you, Steed. More than anything.”
His eyes lit up. “What are you saying?”
Pulling my lip in between my teeth, I inhaled a deep breath through my nose before letting it all out. “I want you, Steed.” My voice sounded shaky, but not from fear…from desire. “I need you.”
A slow, crooked smile appeared as he cupped my face with his hands. “Paxton, are you sure? Because I want you to be one hundred percent sure about this.”
My heart was beating like crazy. My body ached with anticipation. Steed acted as if he was going to take me here and now. What? Was he thinking he would fuck me up against the damn horse?
The wetness between my legs grew. Shit. I’d be okay with that.
“Paxton?”
My eyes swung up to meet his. With a nod, I replied, “I’m sure.”
His eyes closed and a look of relief washed over his face. I was positive it had been hard for him to keep his hands to himself these last few weeks. I loved him for doing it, though.
Steed’s mouth pressed against mine in a heated kiss. My hands quickly found their way under his T-shirt, my fingers moving across his skin, over that perfect body of his.
He dropped both hands from my face and slipped one under my shirt. My head was spinning with desire. A part of me wanted his hand in my pants, not under my shirt. When he pushed my bra up and started playing with my already hard nipple, I pulled my mouth from his and gasped for air.
I was on fire and the pulling and tugging of my nipple only fueled it.
My body trembled against the rock-solid horse who had yet to budge. Steed’s mouth was on my neck, kissing and licking. Building my body up and making me ache even more.
“Fucking hell, Pax. You drive me crazy.”
The only thing I could do was let out a soft moan when he pushed my bra all the way up and started sucking on one nipple while pinching the other.
Fuck, I forgot how amazing he was at getting me worked up.
“Are you wet, Pax?” he asked while his tongue licked and flicked my nipple.
I needed help standing up, so I grabbed onto his shoulders. “You should find out…for yourself,” I managed.
Steed’s head popped up and our eyes met. “Fuck,” he gulped.
With quick hands, he had my jeans undone and his hand down them. When his fingers brushed over my panties, I gasped. “Steed!”
He pushed my jeans down and dropped to his knees. My breath was coming faster now. If this horse moves, I’m going to fall straight back on my ass. Especially with my jeans around my ankles.
“Goddamn it, I want to taste you.”
Watching him pull my panties down was the hottest thing I think I’d ever seen. I could see the anticipation on his face. There was no way I could spread my legs enough, but somehow he managed to lick up my entire core and flick my clit.
“Jesus!” I cried out. He stood and cupped my face, his eyes staring into mine.
“How long has it been, Paxton?”
I swallowed hard. Not sure if my answer would kill the mood or not. “Ten years.”
His eyes widened in surprise. He slowly shook his head and pushed his finger inside of me. My sharp intake of air made him slow down.
“No. Don’t. Please don’t stop,” I begged.
When he buried his face into my neck, I wrapped my arms around him. “Baby, I’m so sorry,” he whispered.
I closed my eyes and let the feel of his finger moving take everything away.
“More,” I said in a needy voice. I didn’t care how it sounded. If I had the guts I would have told him to fuck me right here.
Steed slipped another finger in and hissed. “So fucking tight.”
Oh God, it felt so good. My mind started to wonder. What was his sex life like with Kim? Did he enjoy being with her? Was it meaningless sex or did they connect? I couldn’t help myself. I needed to know.
“How long has it been for you?” I asked with nothing but fear laced in my words. Steed stopped finger fucking me and drew his head back.
“A little over six years.”
My heart dropped. “What?”
“The night we conceived Chloe was the last time I had sex with Kim. It was our…our wedding night.”
His words both made me happy and hurt like hell. Knowing he had married another woman still hurt, no matter what the reasons were behind it all. But then, knowing he never had sex with her after that made my wounded heart feel a bit better. Their connection wasn’t real. Nothing about their relationship was real except for sweet Chloe.
His soft lips ran over the edge of my jaw. His hot breath caused my heart to beat even faster. “It’s always been you, Pax. Always you.”
My hand gripped the back of his neck, pulling his mouth to mine. Our kiss was hungry…almost frantic. Steed’s fingers moved again, building up my body to what I was sure was going to be the most explosive orgasm ever.
My hips rocked against his hand. Shit. I needed more.
I gripped his shirt, our tongues dancing erotically against each other. I broke the kiss long enough to pant out, “More.” Steed pushed another finger in. The slight burn caught me off guard. I tensed, and he stopped.
“Don’t stop!” I cried out.
“Jesus, Paxton. I need to fuck you.”
His mouth was back on mine while his fingers worked me into a frenzy. Thrusting my hips faster I moaned into his mouth. My release building and building to the point where I needed to come.
My orgasm hit me so fast and hard it took my breath away. I choked out Steed’s name. “Steed! Oh God!”
“That’s it, baby. Fuck, I can feel you coming.”
When they say it felt so good your eyes rolled to the back of your head…yeah. I was seeing freaking stars. A haze filled my head as my body trembled with nothing but pure pleasure.
If his fingers could do this to me, what would his mouth feel like? Or him inside me?
Another wave hit me just thinking about—
“Oh God! Steed, I’m coming again.”
“Goddamn it, Paxton,” Steed said, his voice so low and deep I knew he wanted the same thing as me.
“Need you. Steed, I need you inside of me. Please. Please…fuck me!”
It was right then that Allure decided she’d had enough. She starting to walk off. My jeans were around my ankles, and Steed was totally in a daze from me begging him to fuck me. I’d let my lust-filled mind speak for me, and it was clear Steed had not prepared himself for that. He let go of me while he stared.
“Steed!” I cried out as I stumbled back. It took him a few seconds to realize I was going down.
“Paxton!” I grabbed his T-shirt, and we both went down. With a loud thump we looked at each other and started laughing.
“Oh my God! I’m in the middle of the pasture half-naked!”
Laughing, Steed shook his head and gazed into my eyes. His beaming face faded. Our gaze deepened, and I didn’t want to tell him the grass was itching the hell out of my ass. The moment was too beautiful.
“I’ve missed you so damn much,” he said. “I want you to know that. There wasn’t a single day that went by where I didn’t think about you.”
“I wish you would have come back.”
His eyes closed, and he buried his face into my neck. “So do I.”
Steed laid over me with his face pressed against my skin. I had no idea how long we had been laying there. “Steed. The horses?”
“They’re fine.”
“Well, um, my ass is itching so bad.”
Lifting his head, that sexy crooked smile of his appeared. I could barely see his dimples through the scruff on his face. My stomach fluttered from the way he looked at me.
“Then we better get you up.”
I giggled. “Please.”
He stood, then picked me up like I weighed nothing. Bending, he lifted my panties up followed by my jeans. Watching him do something as simple as that had my libido kicked into overdrive. Again.
He buttoned my jeans. God, he was handsome as hell. I swear he got more handsome as the years passed. Chewing on my lip, I felt my cheeks heat.
Steed looked at me, his brows pinched together in question. “Why are you blushing, pumpkin?”
My lips pressed together, and I had no idea what to say. My naughty words from earlier were not something my students’ parents would expect to come from the kindergarten teacher.
“I’m embarrassed,” I answered honestly.
The smirk that moved across his face told me he knew exactly why I was embarrassed. Steed had always been a dirty talker. I was sure all the Parker boys were. The first time he made love to me he was sweet and gentle but didn’t have a problem telling me my pussy was squeezing his cock. He drove me over the edge and we both came together our first time. It was sexy and sweet and…magical. I had known from that moment on no man would ever make me feel the way Steed did.
“A little bit of grass on your ass is nothing to be embarrassed about.”
I lifted my brow and tilted my head. He knew that wasn’t why.
With a chuckle, he put his hand on my cheek while he ran his thumb over my bottom lip. “Is it because you told me to fuck you?”
I opened my mouth and bit down on his thumb. His eyes turned darker and the grin turned to a full-blown smile. I whispered softly, “Yes. That’s why.”
“Do you still want me to fuck you?”
