“I thought you were mad at me.”
“I am.So?”
He chuckles and shakes his head.
“Women are strange creatures.”
“We’re not strange.We just do something with our brainsthat men don’t—we use them.”
“Yeah, for evil and for confusing the hell out of us.”
“You wouldn’t be confused if you paid attention.”
“Okay.My attention is yours, one hundred percent.”
He laces his fingers together on top of the bar and staresinto my eyes.His intensity makes me want to roll over like the wolf did lastnight.
“I’ll be ready in a few minutes.”
I turn around and escape to the back of the bar because Idonotlike the thoughts I’m having.Submission?Not likely.Not even to thesexy sheriff.After saying good night to Rusty and the girls, I find himsitting in the same position I left him in.
“I’m ready,” I announce.
“Let’s go.”
He places his hand at the small of my back and his fingersconnect with my skin.Heat rushes through my body and a tingle runs down myspine.There’s something to be said for anticipation—it sure drives a bodywild.When he climbs in next to me in the truck’s cab, I slide over until ourhips and thighs are touching.
“Are we back on kissing terms yet?”he asks.
Oh, yes.Yes, we are.“Why?”
“Because I’d really like to kiss you.”
So do it.“Just drive.”
He chuckles and starts the truck.
“Suzie’s Diner okay?”
“I’m not hungry.”
I’m in the mood for something entirely different.As soon ashe turns out of the parking lot, I place my hand on his thigh.With my middlefinger, I trace small curly shapes until he shifts uncomfortably.I slowlyslide my palm up until it encounters a huge roadblock lying on his thigh.Twisting in my seat, I undo the button and zipper on his jeans and reachinside.There, I encounter velvet steel.
“Casey—”
“Shh.”
I pull him free of his jeans and lick my lips as I staredown at him.The man is perfection.He’s so…big.
“The words every man wants to hear.”
That’s when I realize I said it out loud.There’s a giantsmirk on his face, and I fully intend on wiping it off.
“Turnabout is fair play,” I say as I slide away from him.
Leaning in, I take him into my mouth.I hear his sharpintake of breath as I close my lips around the head and suck lightly.As I takemore of him, he buries his hand in my hair.
“Both hands on the wheel, Sheriff.”
