Chapter 8
When he arrived to pick her up, her long, blonde hair was down around her shoulders and he seemed more than ready to see her in the new way. “Wow, you look. Wow. I feel like I should take you out instead of going to the ranch.”
“No I want to see what you love. You said that that is where you want to spend time, so I want to see what it is that you like so much. I will warn you though, I have never ridden on a horse before, and they kind of freak me out.”
He helped her to the truck and she hoped that her skirt didn’t go up any higher than it always was. By the sharp intake of breath, she had to imagine that he got a good look at her pink panties. It made her shiver with the sound and the direction that the day was going. There was going to be no way she could say no again. She just didn’t have it in her to turn it down again. Even if it was only supposed to be one night, Kallie knew that it would be worth it.
“Well if you are going to live here, you might as well get used to horses. Most of your customers at the feed store have horses. So you might as well learn to ride.”
She knew that he was right, but it was the size of them that really made her nervous. She was afraid of falling off of one, but Kallie didn’t want to tell him what she was really afraid of. When he looked at her in such a way, she wondered if she could be afraid of anything with him next to her. Caspin had such a calming presence and was so sure of himself that it was impossible to be nervous of anything around him. The only thing that made her heart beat faster was how he made her feel when they were close.
“Maybe you can show me a thing or two about it Caspin. I love to watch them run. It’s just getting on the back of them freaks me out. What if they throw me?”
“We will do some riding later if you feel up to it. I promise that I won’t let anything happen to you, though I don’t know how much you are going to be able to do in that dress.”
Kallie was regretting wearing it, but it was hard to when he looked at her like he was going to swallow his tongue. It was hard not to like the way he kept looking at her as they drove. Whether she could do anything or not, what she really wanted to do, the dress would be perfect for it.
But through all of the looks and smiles, it became clear that he was there for business. She helped him do some of his chores and take care of the animals. There was a difference in the way that he acted, the hot looks were gone and she too was finding the new pace relaxing. It was a way for her to see him in a different light and she loved the way he lit up around them.
“So if this is what you love to do, why do I always see you in a suit?”
“Duty calls from my parents. I was the only son willing to take over, so I was left holding the bag when my father started to get sick. I wish that one of my brothers would have taken the job, but they refused to so I was left to do it. As the oldest, it was always supposed to be my job.”
As much as she liked him in his three piece suit, Caspin looked more natural when he was in jeans and cowboy boots. She wished that the heat would push him to take off his shirt, silently begging for it, but it didn’t happen. The day was almost over and she still had yet to get even a kiss from him. Her plans of seductions were falling to the wayside. She had already had to change her heels for a pair of his muck boots.
She was half covered in mud and the last thing she was thinking about was being sexy. It was hard work and she was just as hot and sweaty as he was. It was starting to get dark and she was tired. “This is more work than the feed store. And this is what you like to do on your days off?”
He smiled at her and nodded. Looking her up and down, he commented on her dress. “Well next time, I will make sure to wear the right clothes. Here I was just trying to be cute for you.”
“You look good no matter what you wear, but I feel bad that you are all dirty.”
“Let’s just call it even, because it is usually me that messes up your clothes.”
“That’s right. But I still feel bad.”
“Don’t. So are you going to take me home?”
“Are you ready to go already?”
She had been there most of the day and in truth she was ready to go home. There was little to no chance of getting her one night with him and after what had went on that day, she wasn’t sure if she was even up for it anyways. Every muscle in her body was sore.
“Yes, every part of me is sore.” Except the one part that she had been hoping he would demolish, that part of her was just fine.
“I didn’t mean to wear you out. I was hoping that you would want to go for a ride.”
Kallie looked at the horse they had been busy brushing. “Maybe next time.”
“Oh come on, just a little ride. It isn’t so scary once you get on there. You are going to be fine.”
“I don’t think I will do very good. I am just so tired Caspin.”
“Well can you just hold on?”
She nodded her head and he jumped up onto the saddle, moving back to give her room in front of him. His hands pulled her back into his body and she was left gasping as she felt hardness from behind.
Kallie was too afraid to ride the horse by herself and she told him that she would next time. He wouldn’t take no as an answer though, pulling her up onto the horse behind him. Kallie gasped and then held on to him tightly. Every single inch of his muscular body was pressed up against hers and it was all she could think about. As the horse took off, she no longer feared that she would fall off. What she was most concerned with, was that he was going to stop holding her in such a way. She could have ridden with him forever, her head laid back against his chest. It was a freeing experience and when it was over, she wished it could go on.
When he got off the horse, there was a long way down for her to go and as he helped pull her down, her body rubbed all the way down him. She was left breathless when her feet finally hit the ground. She looked up at him, begging him with her eyes to kiss her. Having been pressed up against him for the last twenty minutes, her body was screaming with need and he was the only one that could make her feel better. Caspin was the only man she wanted.
He moved his head down, slowly leaning in for a kiss. Kallie was impatient, pulling him down the last couple of inches so that they could finally kiss. His lips were so soft against her that she moaned softly into his mouth. The sound made him growl and yank her body closer. His steely length dominated her soft curves, his hand digging into her hips as he held her against him.
She moved back, her hands on his chest as she took in a deep breath. Caspin was everything that she had hoped for, but she wondered if one night would be enough. What would happen the next morning? Kallie wasn’t ready to have him gone. The build-up was just too much and all she wanted was for him to fall for her, as she was falling for him.
“Do you want to come in Kallie?”
His look was needy and there was nothing more that she wanted to do than go with him, stay with him. But, she wasn’t ready for him to be done with her. Kallie liked having him as a friend, even if there was a thick tension between them.
“It’s kind of late Caspin. I really need to get home.”
He looked disappointed and she felt the same way as he did. All she had thought about for days was having his hands on her, but now, she didn’t want it to end, so she couldn’t let it start. “You aren’t mad are you?”
Caspin pulled away and smiled down at her. “Not at all, Kallie. I was just hoping that you would want to stay a little longer. I like being around you.”
“If I stayed tonight though, I wouldn’t see you again, would I?”
“Why do you think that?”
“It’s something I heard about you. One night.”
Caspin wasn’t sure what she was talking about, though he had a hint. It wasn’t the first time he had been accused of losing interest, but one night?
“I will take you home Kallie, but I promise you that one night would not be enough time with you.”
Kallie wanted to change her mind, her body screaming at her to not get in his truck. But she did, too late to go back and she waited for him to get on the other side. He looked at her with those dark eyes and her insides shook. When he looked at her in such a way, it was hard to tell him no.
