Cattenach Ranch Chapter 33
Checking for bruises? And he was...sorry?Olivia leaned on her elbows and took in Nate's distraught expression. It was apparent he thought he'd been too rough. Though she appreciated the sentiment, disappointment churned in her belly. She'd figured once she got him to finally let go, he'd push past this mindset of not being good enough and the constant need to hold back.Guess she was wrong.She tried to school her voice calm when tears threatened. "Twice you asked if you hurt me and twice I said no." Yes, his first initial thrust had caused a minor ache due to his size, plus she hadn't had a lover in awhile. But it had also been amazingly intense. Within seconds, the slight twinge had dissolved and she'd never been more desperate, more turned-on in her life.His throat worked a swallow. "You deserve better than that, than to be taken like an animal.""Did you hear me complaining?" She sat up, wanting to cover herself, but refrained. He didn't respond, keeping his gaze trained on

His breath caressed her cheek. "Tell me you want me." The grated, whispered demand made her heart pound harder."I want you."He pulled out and thrust inside, his palm adding pressure to her clit. She cried out at the violent pleasure.His nose brushed her ear as he tilted his head. "Tell me you need me." "I need you." So, so, so much.Again, he repeated his motion, and she pinched her eyes shut at the jarring satisfaction. "Then, I'm yours, baby. For as long as you'll have me." Another thrust. "You're mine."Oh God. "Nate..."He groaned. "I know, baby."This time, he didn't thrust, he drove home. Swift. Brutal. With short, firm plunges, he pounded into her. Repeatedly. With each filling, his fingers slid along her folds and his palm added more and more pressure where she needed it most. She could do little more than lie there, taking him, completely submissive under his weight. And she loved it. He enclosed her body with his, stretched her to the point there was no room f

Nate's first cohesive thought? He'd piled on too many blankets last night. He was hotter than hell. The second thought being, Bones had grown awfully affectionate if he was licking Nate's neck to wake him. Wait...A female hum vibrated his skin, followed by the scent of rain. On a sharp inhale, his eyes flew open. Olivia's room. Sunlight. Auburn hair in his face. Breasts crushed to his chest. Her hand roaming from his hip to his ass as they lay on their sides, facing each other. Her tongue...driving him insane.He groaned. "What time is it?""Almost eight." She kissed his chin and smiled at him, her cornflower eyes alight. "Good news. At breakfast, Nakos said he gave the guys the rest of the weekend off to gear up for spring harvest. We can stay in bed all weekend, if you want."Want? She was grabbing his ass and sending the nerves behind his ear - make that his neck again - into hyperactive by using that damn talented mouth, and she wondered what he wanted?He tried to think through

"Where did you go?" She pressed a kiss to his hip, then climbed up his body to lay beside him. Curling against his side, she cupped his face to force him to look at her. "You seemed like you were miles away."Sighing, he wrapped an arm around her to tug her closer and kissed her forehead. "Just recuperating. Your mouth is a weapon of mass destruction." She laughed in that whimsical, sleepy way that caused his heart to leap.He turned on his side, sharing her pillow. He stared into her eyes, the bluest damn things he'd ever seen, and wondered if he could be patient enough to return the favor. Since the second she'd stood in front of him in all her beautiful glory, he hadn't been able to get certain fantasies out of his head. Like tasting every inch of her soft, fair skin and playing a twisted version of connect the dots with her freckles and his tongue. But he wasn't exactly a romantic guy and he knew even less about...seduction.Her eyes narrowed playfully. "What are you thinking abo
Cattenach Ranch Chapter 37
Behind the barns and near the open pasture, Olivia took a sip of lager and grinned at the story Amy's brother Kyle was telling Nate about Justin's first black eye, right after he'd broken his leg falling from a cottonwood. A bonfire crackled in the center of their small circle of chairs, a radio off to the side playing flashback songs from the nineties. Temperatures had finally begun to warm, yet the nights still held a nip in the air. The scent of firewood mingled with fresh grass and blooms. It had taken two weeks, but the winter wheat had been harvested. They were relaxing this weekend before planting the spring crop. Most of the ranch hands had gone into town, aside from her few close friends, to let off some steam.She glanced at the blackened sky, twinkling with stars, and a pang of longing hit her. Between Kyle's story and working the fields, she missed Justin something fierce. Spring had always been his favorite season."So then, he waddles right up to me and says, I'm no

He cleared his throat. "I don't know how to dance. I've never done it before in my life.""I'll teach you."Closing his eyes a beat, he sighed and looked at her again. First at the dress, then he met her gaze. "I don't need a...prom. Or whatever this is you're doing.""Sure you do. Everyone should have a night to dress up and act like a frivolous teen." He'd had so many opportunities stolen from him. She could do this one thing for him, even if it was just the two of them in her living room."I'm not dressed up." He glanced at himself. "I'm barely clothed, in fact.""And thank you for that."He smiled as if unable to help himself and ran a hand down his face. Shook his head. Looked at her gown again. A furrow grew between his brows. "So, that's the dress your date tried to...?" He growled.Lord. She held up her hands. "Do remember I kneed him in the balls and Nakos broke his nose." She waved at herself. "Note I'm standing before you in one piece, unharmed." His eyes narrowed.

"Oh my God. This is awesome!"Nate laughed and revved the Harley's engine to speed down the almost deserted two-lane highway. Wind whipped his face as Olivia's squeal filled his ear. He grinned again, eyeing the flat prairie and long grass swaying across the horizon. The Laramie Mountains shadowed the distance and fencing kept cattle from wandering. The cobalt sky went on for miles.He didn't dare go much faster, not with Olivia onboard and only one helmet, which he made her wear. But they'd been riding over two hours and she hadn't shown any signs she wanted to head back.He leaned into a curve, and she wrapped her arms tighter around his waist. Damn, but it felt good having her behind him, her thighs cradling him and her scent of rain melding with late afternoon spring. When he got the chance, he rode often, loving the solitariness of the open road and vibrations under him. It gave him a chance to clear his head, to breathe.But her? With him? A turn-on to the nth degree.He che

Rising, he climbed from the tub and held out his hand for her. Once she'd stepped onto the mat, he dried her off, then himself, and carried her into the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and rose over her. Braced on his forearms, he studied her pretty face, took in each aspect to be sure his suspicions were right. In awe, he gave up fighting and shook his head. Love. That's what looked back at him. Though she didn't offer the words, three little syllables he'd never heard, she told him with one glance. He'd seen it often on others, had longed for it himself once upon a time. He relished the flame it kindled in his chest, let it burn and smolder, knowing he'd never feel it again. She should give this gift to someone deserving, and he wouldn't dare tell her in return, but he could show her what she meant to him.He reached for the nightstand, but she grabbed his hand. "You had frequent check-ups in the Army? You're safe?" At his nod, she swallowed. "So am I, and I'm on birth cont
