A Cowboy for Mom (7 page)

“Come again,” he said, sliding his tongue over her lower
lips. “Come again for me so I can taste you, Jen. Then…” He smiled and bit her
clit lightly. “Then I will fill you up with my cock and take us both over the
edge.”

“Thank God,” she whimpered and wiggled again.
“Oh hell.”
She dropped one hand from his hair and fisted the
bedding under her body. She lifted for him once more and shuddered in pure
pleasure. It didn’t take her long before she was screaming once more.

As he moved over her body he was panting slightly, a smile
on his lips though. “Damn woman, you’re just as loud as I remember. Hot,” he
chuckled. Leaning in, he slid his tongue up her throat and then kissed her
lightly as he settled between her legs, his cock rubbing over her swollen clit
and through her folds.

“I can only hope like hell your room is soundproofed.” She
lifted a leg and hooked it at his back, pulling him closer and rubbing against
him.
“So good.
So freaking damn
good.”
Her moans cut through the air and she opened her eyes to look up
at him once more. With a smile on her face she whispered, “I need.” That was
all she could say in that moment, that she needed.

“It’s not fully soundproofed but it’s not too bad,” he said
quietly, smiling slightly. “We’ll have to see just how many comments we get at
the breakfast table tomorrow. Shifting ever so slightly, he pressed his cock
into her slowly, the sensations making them both moan in need as he filled her.

She shivered in reaction to his dick filling her. “Yes.
That’s then.” She wrapped her other leg around him so that now both of her legs
held him tight, her heels digging into his far too perfect ass and tugging him
closer and deeper into her body.

Seated deep inside, he shivered. “Too damn long,” he
muttered against her cheek. Pulling out slowly, he thrust back faster, harder.
A few more slow thrusts and then he picked up his speed, jolting her with every
push of his cock through her folds.

“Far too damn long.”
She clenched her pelvic muscles to hold him tighter. She was determined to make
him come with
her,
she was in need, desperate and
insane need right now. “So close,” she whimpered. “Come, come with me.” She
wanted him to fly right along with her, dammit.

“I’m with you all the way,” he panted out. His breath was
coming fast as he pounded into her over and over again. “I love you, Jen,” he
groaned before kissing her.
Another couple of hard thrusts
and he came, taking her over the edge with him.

She shuddered and held on to him. “I love you too,
Carson
, so much,” she
whispered before she went right over that edge with him. Her whole body clenched
at his, her very being wrapped up and into him.

Later, they lay gasping for air in each other’s arms and
she could only smile. “I think that I’m ready for a short nap now.” She didn’t
want to let him go though, didn’t think she ever could. “Don’t let me go?” she
whispered softly.

“Not ever again,” he whispered back. Kissing her hard, he
rolled them to their side and fumbled around for the blankets. Falling back
down with her, he held her close, his hands pressing her into his body as their
breathing began to calm.

Jen curled in close to him and sighed. “This is what I’ve
been missing in my life,” she whispered. “Tomorrow you can start to get to know
our daughter. She’s just like you, by the way.” She was talking with a slow
tone, sleepy to the nth degree. “Goodness, I’m exhausted. Good night,
Carson
,” she murmured
before drifting to sleep.

Chapter Five

His smile was the first thing she saw when she woke up.
“Good morning,” he said quietly, brushing a finger down her nose lightly. “Did
you sleep well?” he asked, his hand settling down on her hip. Leaning in closer,
Carson
brushed
a kiss to her cheek lightly.

“Better than I can recall sleeping in so very, very long.
How about you?”
 
she
asked and moved to rub her cheek to his, reveling in the
stubble of his morning beard against her face. “Do we have to get out of bed
today? Can’t we just spend the day locked away from the world?” she asked
hopefully.

“I slept better than I ever have,” he admitted with a nip
of teeth to her jaw. “I wish we could stay in bed all day, but we have the rest
of your city-folk types showing up today. Which means I get to play tour guide
and tell them all the
do’s
and don’ts of living and
working on a ranch.
Should be a very long and seriously
trying day.”

“Crap,” she muttered. “Just so you know
,
the male co-star is an ass.
Like,
a massive one. He
seems to think that because our characters hook up,
we
should too. He
knows that I don’t date. Hell, everyone in
Hollywood
knows that I don’t. They all think
that I’m pining for a lost love.”
Which was totally true.
“So don’t be offended at anything he says, please?”

Snorting at that,
Carson
just lifted a pale eyebrow. “Darling, I have a great many acres of land in
which a man can get lost. And there are even a few spots that a man could take
a nasty tumble and never ever be found. Shit happens.” Then he smiled that purely
angelic one he’d used to get out of trouble all the time as a kid.

“Oh, that is bad.
So very bad.”
But she loved it and showed him how much by kissing him. She pulled him as
close as she could get him and kissed him with all she had. Finally, she pulled
back and panted. “Goodness gracious, I want you. How about we go and shower
together? Make love in the shower before we have to face the wolves?”

Nodding, he looked over his shoulder. “Yeah, that works.
The guys should be finishing up breakfast by the time we get down there. So all
we’ll be facing will be Esther and her ‘I told you so’s’, and your daughter.”
He made a face.
“
Our
daughter.
Sorry, still
trying to wrap my head around that.”

“If it’s too much, tell me now. I know you never expected a
ready-made family to walk into your life, so if it is too much for you, I need
to know.” As much as she loved him, she had to watch out for her daughter. “It
would break her heart if you couldn’t accept her, so
please,
I need to know that we will be okay?”

“Hey,” he put a hand on her cheek and leaned in. “I said
I’m still trying to wrap my head around it, that’s all, promise. I like the
idea a hell of a lot, but you have to admit this is huge. It’s going to take me
a little bit of time to get it all sorted in my head. I won’t ever hurt her, or
you,” he whispered. Pressing a light kiss to her lips, he drew back.

“I know that it’s huge and I feel like shit just dropping
it into your lap.” She hesitated and then growled. “I’m going to beat your
daughter. She found out where I was coming to and arranged it so that she had
to be out of the school for a time and I had no choice but to bring her. That
sneaky little brat did this to purposefully set us back into each other’s
lives.” She then began to grin, a slow grin. “I could kiss her for that.”

“Definitely kiss her,
then
beat
her.” He smiled back at her. “I’ll even pretend I don’t see you beating her if
it helps at all.” Laughing softly, he pressed a kiss to her lips and slowly
drew back. “Shower, we need to shower, and I really need to brush my teeth.”

“Me too.”
She put
her hand over her mouth and frowned. “Sorry for kissing you before I brushed.”
She hadn’t even thought about it, simply reacted, and man, what a kiss it was!
She loved it. “Okay,
lets
go and shower, brush teeth,
and then track down our far too sneaky daughter, shall we?”

“Sounds like a good plan,” he agreed. Rolling away from her,
he sat on the edge of the bed and stretched slowly, his arms up over his head.
It gave her the perfect opportunity to see the heavy scarring on his right
shoulder, the spot where Esther said the broken post had gored him. Dropping
his arms, he got to his feet and turned to hold out a hand. “Coming along?” he
asked softly.

She had sat stunned when she saw his back. Shaking herself
out of her stupor, she rose from the bed and took his hand. “God, Carson, I
should never have listened to your fucking sister.” She moved and hugged him
tightly, couldn’t help herself. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for you.”

He stood still, his body rigid at her sudden hug. Then his
arms came up and around her to return the hug. “You couldn’t have known, love.
Hell, I went and made it easy for you to believe her for behaving like a
jackass. Have I apologized for that yet?” he asked softly. “If not, I truly am
sorry. I can’t recall it but I should never have behaved that way, especially
to you, Jen.”

She shrugged, “We were kids.” And she had to grow up fast.
She had been kicked out of her house the night she confessed she was pregnant
and had been on her own since. “We have each other now and that’s what matters.
Just know that you are it for me, Carson MacDonald, you always have been.”

Squeezing her close, he leaned back and slid his hands up
to her face. Tipping her face up, he kissed her lightly on the lips. “As you
are it for me too, darling. Come on, my stomach is starting to rumble, which
tells me I’ve missed my normal breakfast time. We need to shower and get out
for breakfast before the rest of your folks show up.”

“Sounds good to me.
I’m starving.” She eyed him up as they made their way into the shower and with
a laugh said, “Then again, I had someone who gave me one heck of a workout last
night. I really think we need many, many repeat performances. What do you say,
Cowboy?”

“Giddyup,” he grinned over his shoulder at her. Chuckling
softly,
Carson
shook his head and turned on the shower, fiddling with the knobs for a moment.
“Word of warning, always
start
the water from outside
the shower stall. For whatever reason that we’ve yet to determine, at around
the one minute mark, all it will shoot out for ten seconds is water straight
from the
Arctic
. And you do not ever, under
any circumstances, want to be under the water when it happens. Trust me, been
there, done it, more than once.”

“Right, gotcha.
So
unless I need a really cold shower to cool the hot thoughts and needs that I
have for you, I should make sure to wait.” She was teasing him, the amusement
in her gaze clear for him to see. She loved teasing him too, so very much.

“Unless you feel like screeching loud enough to wake the
dead six counties over, I would advise you to wait.” He smiled at her and
flinched. “And there it is,” he muttered, jerking his hand from the spray and
shaking it. “I’m pretty sure for you, smart cookie that you are, once would be
enough to remind you of that little event.”

“Oh, I don’t know.” She looked up at him and grinned, “If
it got you running in to see just what was wrong, and you were naked, I think I
might have to do it often. Yes.
Very often in fact.
I
know that I would have to do it at least three times.” There was a long pause
followed with, “A day.” Her teasing
laugh
there again.

“You might have someone running in, might not always be me
though,” he said with a laugh. Pulling the door open further, he urged her into
the cubicle and under the nice warm water. “Besides, I can count, I’d know why
you were shrieking,” he said with a wink.

“And you would still come running. You would have a towel
ready and waiting for me and you would be more than willing to warm me up,
wouldn’t you?” She leaned her head back and allowed the water to flow over her.
A happy sigh escaped her and she smiled. “I could get used to this.” So used to
it. She had always loved the simplicity of small-town life, now she just had to
figure out how to get out of her next contract so she could finally come home
and stay home.

“Of course I’d warm you up. I’d turn on the heat lamp for
you at the very least.” Grinning, he laughed at the look she shot him and
shrugged. “But you’re thinking awfully hard for something as simple as a
shower, Jen. What’s going on in that head of yours?” he asked. Reaching around
her, he squirted some shampoo into his hand and then began to work it through
her hair.

“Just trying to think of how I’m going to get out of my
next contract so that I can come home to stay. I have this movie to finish, and
then there will be retakes of course, and one additional movie to film. It’s
the additional movie that I’m trying to think of how to get out of. I’m ready
to come home. I’ve missed small-town life, and I want our daughter to grow up
in a small town just as we did.”

Frowning, he massaged her scalp. “Finish the movies,” he
said quietly. “There’s no sense in breaking your contracts, Jen. It will only
damage your good name and burn bridges. We’ve waited this long, I’m sure we can
manage a little more time. Besides, when you have time you can come home and
I’ll make time to come see you until
it’s
all done.
Then, when it’s all over, we come home for good and never leave again. Well,
maybe for the honeymoon, but that’d be about it.”
