Tyler didn’t wait for her to answer.He took her hand and gently tugged, guiding her outside to one of the high-backed patio chairs.While she settled on the padded seat, he grabbed the other chair and placed it in front of her before he sat.
The soothing sounds of birds singing calmed her racing heart until his knees touched her.He was so close.Heat filled her.How would she cope if she was already going up in flames?Now she knew why her ex left her feeling colder than a dead fish.
Becca shook her head.No thinking about her ex.This was about her and Tyler.
“You’re nervous.”
Damn.The man could already read her.She bit her lower lip before nodding.
He studied her.“Why?”
She swallowed.“I’ve never done anything like this before.”
“Becca.”He took her hands in his, thumbs brushing the backs of her knuckles in a soothing motion.
Or would have been soothing if her nerves weren’t jumping under her skin.
“We’re only going to talk.We haven’t seen each other in a long time, and we need to get re-acquainted.We also need to discuss what you want to do here at the ranch.”
“You’re not going to tell me?”
“I’ll guide you, yes.It’s your decision on what you do or don’t do.”
Her teeth worried her bottom lip.This is what I wanted, right?
Maybe?She also wanted a man who would give her sensual pleasure.This—the control being hers— wasn’t what she expected at all.“I think I’m a little confused.”
“I can imagine.Let’s get some of the basics out of the way.I’m healthy and STI-free.I can provide you with my latest test results, if you want.”
Oh, Lord, I didn’t even think about that.“I recently tested negative too.”She’d had her annual physical a few weeks back, and since she hadn’t had sex in over two years, she wasn’t worried.
“Are you on the pill?”
Becca shifted in her seat.She better get used to frank discussions.“I am.”
“Good.”He squeezed her hands.“I’ll use a condom until you feel comfortable.”
Her breath caught.In college, they’d always used a condom.But the image of him being bare as they made love made her pussy pulse.
“I know what kind of sex you used to enjoy, but what do you like now?”
“Huh?”She tilted her head to the side, staring at him.“I don’t know what you mean?”
His chuckle floated in the air between them.“Did you read the activities book about the ranch?What do you want to try?”
“Ahh.”She squirmed.How could she talk about this?
How could she not?
“We’re consenting adults,” he continued.“Nothing is taboo here.Anything you want.If it’s legal, I’ll do my best to provide, or find someone who will.”
“Someone who will…” Her voice trailed off.
“Only if you want.”
Becca swallowed.The ball was back in her court.She wanted Tyler.Okay, that was pretty obvious, but why was this discussion so difficult?She never had trouble talking sex with Angie.
Angie wasn’t Tyler, though.He was a living, breathing, sex-on-two legs, fully-grown male.Her gaze slid over his body.She knew what he was packing in his jeans.
