Love Unspoken by Delilah Hunt Page A

She didn’t understand why
he would choose not to help his family on their ranch.
    “I work here so we can keep the ranch. It’s nothing compared
to this.”
    This time he kept his eyes trained on her, the same unreadable
expression on his face as if he was expecting her to hightail it the other way
from him.
    “Your family is very lucky to have you on their side.” She was lucky to have him. This man who was so much more than what met the eyes. He
made her yearn for so much more, including the courage to stand up for herself.
    He nodded and pointed over the horizon as the sun climbed higher.
The sun was coming up, which meant the other ranch hands would be making their
way to the pasture to work another group of cattle.
    “Are you going to join them?” She despised the thought of leaving
him so early.
    His gaze went in the direction of her parent’s home, the red
shingle rooftop visible across the distance.
    Noelle swallowed and raised her chin. “Ask me, Cole.”  She knew
what he was thinking after mentioning his family and ranch. She also needed to
clear the air between them.
    “Do you want to go home or stay with me?”
    “You mean after letting me know you’re poorer than I assumed?”
    He lifted a shoulder and stared at her as if he was actually
waiting for her to make a decision. Dear God. He actually thought it made a
tremendous difference to her. Noelle lowered her lashes, grabbed the reins on
the horse and whispered quietly. “Let’s go back.”
    His nostrils flared, anticipation simmered in his eyes. Noelle
felt her stomach flutter before giving a curt nod and guided the mare into a
turn. She’d seen that look in his eyes before. Her pussy clenched. Noelle
licked her lips. They were going to have sex. She stole a glance at Cole who
was inches behind her. Their gazes locked. She was going to feel him inside
her. All the way, as he’d promised.
    Her heart leapt when he blinked and gave her a curt nod as if he
knew what she was thinking. Both urging the horses into a gallop, Noelle knew
that right now that little bedroom was the only place she wanted to be.
    ****
    Cole couldn’t believe Noelle returned with him. He leaned against
the door, drinking her in. She was sitting on his bed and all he could do was
stand there and stare like a lovesick fool. Not good. He wished he had more
experience with women, decent women so he would know the right way to pleasure
her. He wanted to hear her scream his name in reckless abandon. He didn’t want
their first joining to end with horrible memories for her.
    “Cole?”
    His cock hardened painfully inside his jeans. If Noelle said his
name like that one more time, he’d probably come before he had a chance to
slide to the hilt inside her wanton cunt.
    He stepped in front of her and touched the side of her face. Her
skin felt like silk beneath his craggy fingertips. Much too delicate for the
likes of a rough ranch hand. Cole brushed the pad of his thumb over her plump
lips. His cock twitched, swelling in response to the only part of her luscious
body, he’d been able to release in.
     His breath hitched with the tantalizing memory. Noelle had
swallowed his cum, a fantasy he’d entertained but would never have expected her
to perform in reality. But she had done it, and found pleasure in it as much as
he’d enjoyed sampling her tasty pussy.
    His prick hardened even more. Cole blushed. He hoped she’d take
him between her lips again. Sometime soon. And God help him for selfishness,
but he wanted to watch her inviting mouth fill with his semen. Noelle brought
her lips to his thumb giving it a soft kiss.
    His lips curved upward. She was so fucking adorable. He
suppressed a grin, fully aware that Noelle would probably be annoyed being
thought of as adorable.
    “I want to feel you inside me.”  She lifted her face to his.
    He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. For her to say
that to him… She couldn’t have any idea how much he actually wanted her,
