what
he willed. In his peripheral vision, Zach saw her fingers gripping the edge of
the leather seat as he touched her damp, fragrant curls.
She mewled.
At the approaching stop sign, he reduced his speed. With no
one on the road in any direction, Zach pulled off the asphalt onto the
shoulder, safely away from any possible traffic, putting the Ram into park.
Lifting her head, Toni swung it left, right, taking in their
location. At last, she looked at him in confusion, then down as he tugged her
tank top and bra strap over her shoulder, not stopping until he’d exposed her
breast.
He smiled inwardly at the pleasant surprise in her eyes and
spoke with the authority she’d told him she craved. “Keep an eye out for
traffic.”
“Are you kid—”
The rest of what she’d intended to say disappeared beneath
her delighted gasp as he drew her nipple into his mouth and suckled as hard as
he dared, exactly as he had this morning, learning what she liked.
Toni’s hand moved to his head. Her fingers tunneled through
his hair, the tips digging into his scalp to keep him at his task.
Inhaling deeply, he smelled the lavender cologne she’d
sprayed on her throat while in the shop’s bathroom, along with the soap she’d
used to clean her hands and arms. Beneath it, her musk drew him like a starving
man to food, guiding his free hand to her cunt.
Instantly, Toni arched her back and spread her legs,
inviting Zach to do whatever he wanted.
Unobstructed wind buffeted his pickup, shaking it as he
would their bed when he thrust into her repeatedly, sating her and himself.
Sand and gravel flew against the vehicle’s body, sounding like sleet during a
raging storm, matching the fury of his pounding pulse.
Latched onto her nipple, enjoying her fragrant, supple
flesh, he unbuttoned her shorts and pulled down the zipper, snaking his fingers
into the fabric’s gap, over her mound to her damp, slippery cleft.
She choked out a moan. With her heels dug into the vehicle’s
floor, she lifted her ass, giving him greater access.
Zach took it. On contact with her rigid little clit, his
fingers stroked.
Toni’s grip tightened on his head. She rocked her body into
his hand. Wanting more. Demanding completion.
Determined to deny it for the moment, to prove he commanded
and she obeyed, Zach abandoned her mouth and pulled his fingers from her
cutoffs seconds before her climax.
Her mouth hung opened on her heaving breaths. Her voice was
a throaty whine. “What are you doing?”
“Driving.” With his vehicle in gear, he glanced in all
directions, saw no one approaching and pulled back onto the asphalt.
Toni sagged against her door. In the corner of his eye, Zach
saw her staring at him. Her scrutiny and obvious lust pleased him beyond
reason.
Swallowing audibly, she next cleared her throat and asked,
“Why’d you stop? Why didn’t you let me come?”
Zach looked over.
With his deliberate silence, she arched one brow. “What are
you planning to do with me tonight?”
Whatever the fuck he wanted, exactly what they both
required.

He drove as quickly as safety allowed, refusing to answer
any of Toni’s questions as to what he had in mind for her this evening or the
few others they’d share.
Only a month.
Yesterday morning, when she’d been tired and thirsty, nearly
out of luck and hope, thirty days would have seemed like an eternity.
Tonight though…
One full day had nearly ended, their time together seeming
to move far too quickly.
Inside the house, he dropped her saddlebag in the foyer.
Toni swung her head from its solid thud to the stairs, her
thoughts on his bedroom at the top, at the end of the hall. Heart beating
fiercely at the images rolling across her mind, she looked at him for
direction.
Zach’s eyes held her as he inclined his head toward the
stairs.
Knowing he expected her to obey, pleased to do so, at least
for the moment, she led the way, acutely aware of him following, his boots
