“Don’t,” he told her, wiping a stray bit of moisture away with his finger. “I give you my word, you won’t regret this.”

That made her smile. “Put it off any longer and I might prove you wrong.”

With a shout of laughter, he kissed her again, deepening the kiss until her head swam and her knees were weak.

“Too many clothes,” she mumbled against his lips. “Off with them.”

Again he chuckled. “Patience.” He reached for her shirt. She batted his hand away.

“You first. I want to see you naked.”

“Okay.” Keeping his gaze locked on hers, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Once he’d removed that, he went for his belt.

“Let me,” she demanded, tugging the buckle open. When she undid his jeans and went to pull down the zipper, his erection surged free.

“Careful,” he rasped.

“Hot damn.” Slowly pulling his boxers and jeans down past his hips, she couldn’t take her eyes off him.

“Boots,” he said, choking on the word. He dropped back onto the bed, groaning as she knelt in front of him, pretending to be going for his feet. Instead, she grazed her lips over the engorged h

ead of him and then she took him into her mouth. All of him, deep. He tasted like man and salt and sex.

Moving slowly, she relished the power of her taking him that way. In and out, falling into a rhythm and feeling her own body throb.

“Enough.” He pulled her up and off him, pushing her back against the mattress. “While that was...extremely pleasurable, I want to be inside you.”

Grinning up at him, she reached for him. “I want that, too.”

“Wait.” He grabbed his jeans, located his wallet and removed a condom. Once he’d managed to pull it over his arousal, he went back to her and kissed her again. Deep and fierce, his hands coaxing her back to life, his erection huge against her belly.

Slowly, she opened her legs and guided him to her.

One push and he filled her. Completely. For a heartbeat or two, he held himself utterly still, letting her body adjust to his size. “You’re so damn wet,” he groaned.

“You’re so damn hard,” she shot back, thrilling to the way his body pulsed at her words.

She arched her back, anticipating his next stroke, and moved to meet him.

They moved together, fast and furious, a crashing crescendo of desire and need. So raw, so instinctively honest, so...good. When she felt the beginning starburst of release building, she cried out. Her body clenched around him, and she gripped him tight while she shuddered from the strength of her climax.

A moment later, one final push and he joined her.

They clung to each other, damp and sweaty, the sweet, musky scent of sex filling the air.

“Wow.” Totally drained, she rested her head against his shoulder. “That was...”

“Good,” he finished for her, kissing the top of her head. “Amazing. Unbelievable. Should I go on?”

Smiling, she shook her head. “You understand what they’re going to think?” she murmured, turning her head so that her mouth was pressed against his ear. “That I seduced you in order to get you to stay. Did it work?”

His quick bark of laughter made her wiggle and raise her head to look at him.

“Yes,” he responded, kissing the tip of her nose. “Though honestly, now that I’ve met Ace Colton, I was planning to stick around awhile anyway.”

Stunned, she eyed him. “You met Ace? When?”

“Earlier today. After I learned about my true parentage, I drove myself over to Colton Oil. Even though Ace no longer is CEO, I’d read in the local paper that he would be there for some kind of meeting, so I went in and introduced myself. We hit it off. He’s a hell of a nice guy.”
