tell her to put them back, she happily buried her
fingers in his waves of thick hair.
    He pulled back just an inch and then used his fingers to
part the lips of her sex. He took a moment to gaze at her pussy before saying,
“You taste of warm summer nights at sea.” With that he dipped his head and ran
his tongue along the length of her sex.
    His words were lost after that. Her heart pounded so hard
that it was the only thing she could hear as he caressed her with both his
mouth and his fingers. The man had dangerously addictive skills. He made her
whimper, beg, promise anything just to make the torment end. And then, just as
she began to seriously worry about the possibility of dying from need, release
slammed into her. It was so sudden and so intense that she couldn’t breathe and
the world went black around her for a second. When she regained thought, he
still remained between her thighs, licking her gently.
    Hunger washed through her with each touch and lifted her
higher until she was in danger of crashing again. “Jasper. Can’t.”
    But as he slid two fingers inside her and rubbed the top of
her channel she forgot what she’d been trying to say. Her muscles tensed again
and, before she could prepare herself, she crested again.
    “You are the sexiest woman I have ever met,” he said as he
gentled his touches. Even if his words hadn’t been thick with hunger, his hard
cock still would’ve proved he told the truth.
    “Why don’t you grab a condom and show me how sexy I am?”
    “You’re still sensitive. I don’t want to make you sore.”
    She pulled him up as she wiggled her hips. “I’m a rancher. I
can handle whatever you can dish out.”
    His wicked smile made her stomach cramp with new desire.
“Damn straight you’re a rancher.” He grabbed a condom out of his pants pocket
and sheathed himself before entering her. Yes, she was sensitive, almost to the
point of pain. But him stretching her from the inside, his body rubbing against
hers, she’d never pass that up. She craved having his body in hers. And he
didn’t disappoint.
    She held on to him and allowed him to set the tempo. Which,
as it turned out, was hard and fast. Knowing that she’d gotten him so turned-on
made her own desire flare bright again. Before long she was whimpering and
begging for release once more. And this time they peaked together.
    As she came down from her climax, she trailed her fingers
down his back. “I think I might just pass out.”
    “Did you doubt me? I think we’ve already established that
I’m a man of my word,” he said with a sheepish grin.
    “You are.” She yawned and rolled over onto her side as his
reader buzzed on the nightstand. Whoever or whatever wanted his attention, she
didn’t care. She just wanted to float in this state of completion for as long
as possible. As soon as it wore off, she would have to deal with the emotions of
the day. And she really didn’t want to face that right now. Saying goodbye to
her ranch was one thing. Saying goodbye to him though? The thought made her
feel sick.
    “Kat.” A poking in her side kept her from sliding into
sleep.
    “What?”
    “I’ve got something I need to show you.”
    She laughed despite herself. “You’ve already showed me it
several times this morning. I think you can wait until after I’ve had a nap.”
    “Seriously, Kat. It’s important.”
    Suddenly it didn’t seem as amusing. “I’m tired,” she whined.
When something cold bumped her nose, she relented and opened her eyes
reluctantly. “What is it?”
    “Just look.”
    His reader sat on the bed in front of her, the screen
displaying one of the many news stations in the system. “You wanted me to see
the weather forecast? Really? This is why you aren’t letting me sleep?”
    His sigh rang with exasperation. “Give it a second, would
ya?”
    The screen changed as a well-dressed woman began to speak in
low tones with a stern expression on her face. She talked about
