The Reluctant Cowboy (2 page)

She didn’t hesitate to sit down on one of the chairs situated close to the fireplace.  She was still admiring the room while he took the time to admire her.  She had a beautiful long neck and with her hair up, it showcased it perfectly.  She had diamond earrings in her ears that sparkled with the reflection of the fire. When she tilted her head a certain way, the earrings caught the light even more.  She took another sip of her drink and then placed her glass on a table while she removed her shoes.  “Ahhh, that feels so much better.” She let out another sigh, as she started to rub her feet. 

“Here, allow me.”  Cole reached for the other chair and pulled it up in front of her.  He sat down, gently lifted one foot, rested it in his lap and began to massage it from the ankle to the toes.  Sierra wondered if he had done this before.  She felt like this was an intimate moment, but didn’t want to break the spell she felt she was already in.  She was trying to come up with a witty comment about feet fetishes but his hands were working miracles.  Not only on her feet but her psyche. 

From the moment she felt his stare at the reception and caught his eyes boring into hers she felt the physical attraction.  She had never in her twenty four years felt such heat in a man’s eyes.  She tried to see his eyes again as he gently massaged her foot.  He was concentrating on what he was doing, so she studied the jet black hair and the way it moved.  She knew it would be thick and she wanted to reach out and feel it.  It looked soft yet hard, similar to the man himself.  Once he removed what she was sure was a very expensive suit jacket she saw the strong arms silhouetted in his crisp white cotton shirt. 

He placed her administered foot on the floor as he picked up the other foot to mimic what he had done to the first.  He gave her another big smile and she took the moment to look into his eyes again.  They were a deep ocean blue.  From a distance, they could almost appear black.  That is what she had thought at first until he had asked her to dance.  She guessed he was about 6’3”.  He had been taller than her friend, Quinn who was 6’2”.  She liked tall men, because she was tall herself.  At 5’8” she seemed much taller than most of her friends who often sweetly teased her. 

She wasn’t sure yet what was going to happen but she was trying hard not to show her nervousness.  She didn’t understand why she was going to let this particular man take her virginity, but she knew she wanted him to.  She hadn’t planned to remain a virgin; she just was.  She dated, but just never felt desire.  She had a lot of male friends, but was never physically attracted to them. 

Only her best friend, Dana, knew she was a virgin.  She couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her mouth as she thought of what Dana would say if she knew where she was now.  “Did I hit a tickle spot?” He paused his treatment when he heard her laugh.

“No, sorry, just thought of something funny.” 

“Care to share?”

“Not this time.  It was nothing really.  I really appreciate the foot rub.  Another first for me.” 

“You’re kidding?  No regular foot rubs from the locals?”  His teasing grin enchanted her. 

“You would think, but not so much.”  She smiled in return.

“Better?” he asked as he put her foot down. 

“Much.  Thank you.” 

“My pleasure.  Excuse me a minute.”  He rose and headed to the bathroom.  Sierra took a deep breath and reached for another sip of her drink.  She stretched her arms above her head and moved her neck from side to side.  She felt on edge and stood to move closer to the fire.  The warmth felt good and she closed her eyes for a brief moment.  “You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.”  She opened them and turned her head slightly to see him standing to the side of her watching her. 

“I think they are scary.”  She said it before she could stop herself. 

“Scary?  Why on earth would you think that?  They are the lightest blue I have ever seen.  Scary is not a word I would use to describe them.” 

“Really?  You don’t think they look, I don’t know, glow-y?”   She saw him smile. “Glow-y?  Is that even a word?”

“You know what I mean.” 

“No, really I don’t.  They are unique and beautiful.  Like the rest of you.”  Sierra didn’t know how to respond.  She had never been seduced before but his words were working magic. 

“You have pretty eyes, too.”  His chuckle made her blush. 

“Thank you.” 

“You’re welcome.”  She was feeling completely out of his league and knew she sounded like she felt. 

Cole could feel her nervousness and wanted to put her at ease.  “So, how many pins are actually attached to your head right now?”  She laughed again and he fell into her spell. 

“I lost count. I’m sure a lot,” she giggled nervously. 

“Would you like me to help try and get some out?” 

“You don’t have to.  I’m sure I can just go the restroom and work on them.”  She started to turn, but he stopped her with a hand to her waist. 

“I’d like to.”  He meant it too.  He wondered what her hair would be like.  He slowly moved her to face the fire as he stood behind her.  He placed his hands on her bare shoulders and felt her small shudder.  He used his thumbs to trace up the back of her elongated neck and felt her relax.  When he reached the first pin, he gently tugged it loose and let it drop to the floor.  With her head bent down he worked to extract all of the pins.  “You weren’t kidding.  I know I already lost count after ten.” 

“Told ya.  The housekeeper is going to wonder why you have all of these hair pins in your room.” 

Cole finally managed to release the last few larger pins that seemed to hold the bulk of her hair.  He took both hands and started to maneuver them through the long thick mass of Chestnut waves.  Her hair had highlights that looked like gold strands woven through it. He was massaging her scalp and letting the hair fall down over his hands and arms.  It went past her shoulders and down the middle of her back. 

“It’s beautiful.  Too beautiful to be pinned up.”   He was leaning close to her ear.  He then lowered his head slightly to kiss the base of her neck.  His hands were on top of each shoulder with her hair still splayed over them.  He removed her hair from his hands as he slowly turned her to face him.  “
You
are beautiful.” 

Before she could reply, he tilted his head and kissed her.  It was an amazing kiss.  Her lips were soft and yielding.  His hands moved to cup her head as he continued to kiss her slow and long.  He felt her sigh and deepened the kiss.  Her mouth opened and he explored inside.  Their tongues entwined and he felt her step closer to him. 

Her arms came around his waist and she pulled him closer.  He had wanted to go very slow, but this kiss was dispelling his plan quickly.  Their arms and hands switched position as the kiss continued.  Her arms wound around his neck as her hands ran to the back of his head and through his hair.  His arms were behind her as his hands found their way down to her backside.  He massaged and gripped her ass until he heard her moan.  They both broke free and stood panting, looking at each other. 

Cole engrained his brain to remember the way she looked standing in front of the fire, her chestnut gold hair framing her face as she was breathing hard and looking back at him.  It was the most erotic image he could ever remember. 

Instinct kicked in and he reached for her and swept her up and into his arms.  In just a few strides, he placed her on the bed and removed his tie and shoes.  There was still a glow from the light in the bathroom so he could see her lying on the bed as he undressed.  She watched him, with her hands resting on her stomach, as he undid the buttons on his shirt and removed it, never breaking eye contact with her.  He discarded his slacks and socks and joined her on the bed. 

She reached for him and he immediately started kissing her shoulders, her neck, and her lips.  Her hands seemed to like his hair as she continued to run them through it.  He turned her on her side, so he could remove her dress.  When he felt the dress give, he swiftly slid it down her body to unveil what was beneath the pretty packaging.  He was momentarily stunned as she had nothing on underneath it.  “Surprise.”  She quietly giggled. 

“Did I mention how much I love surprises?”  He whispered into her ear as he gently suckled it. 

“Good to know,” she breathed.

Their lips infused again as their hands explored their bodies.

“God, your body is amazing!”  

Cole was kissing her collarbone and making his way down her body.  Her breasts molded perfectly in his hands.  He took his time with each one, massaging and then bringing them to his mouth.  He felt the buds tighten as he suckled softly and then with more pressure.  He felt her body respond to his touches and his body became more enflamed.  They fed off of each other, caressing and kissing. 

He couldn’t remember a time enjoying foreplay this much.  He was kissing her belly and moving lower when he felt her hands tug at his hair.  He moved back up over her body for another smoldering kiss.  He moved his right leg to position himself over top of her.  Their passions were reaching a peak.  “Open your eyes, Sierra.  I want to see you when I enter you.”  It was a breathless command and she obeyed. 

Staring into the most amazing eyes that were now full of desire, he entered her.  Slowly at first, never breaking eye contact.  She felt like heaven.  He had a hard time keeping his eyes open with such bliss.  She was so very tight and wet for him.  He moved deeper and then pulled out to do it again.  She was still staring into his eyes with heavy lids, but he felt her stiffen beneath him. 

He thought she was anxious for him, so he thrust deeply into her.  He felt the resistance, but it was too late.  He was deep inside her.  He blinked in confusion as he stared into misting light eyes.  He saw a single tear escape on either side.  In that moment, he didn’t know what to do.  His body was at its most vulnerable state of pure ecstasy and his mind was not comprehending what had happened.  A
virgin
?  He had never been with a virgin before. 

Nothing had prepared him for this moment.  He started to pull out, but she stopped him.  She wrapped her legs around his waist and pressed her hips up.  Cole closed his eyes as the most exquisite pleasure raged through him.  He opened his eyes to see her still looking at him. 

“Surprise?”  She mouthed the word to him. 

Cole took the deepest breath he could with his condition and started to pull out again.  The slight movement was intoxicating and he let out a moan. 

“Please don’t stop.  I need…something…” she cried.

Cole couldn’t speak, but his body heard her.  He slowly pushed forward as he felt her legs let loose and fall back to the bed.  She pulled his head down for another kiss.  This was a desperate plea to show him she wanted more.  She thrust her small tongue inside his mouth and kissed him unabashed.  Cole was lost to her plea.  His body moved on its own accord.  He tried to wrap his brain around the fact that she was an innocent but her body betrayed it. 

With the last ounce of control left, Cole started to move inside her.  He could hear her moans, while they continued kissing.  He withdrew and entered her again and again.  Their mouths finally parted, while they caught their breath.  Cole’s arms straightened and he stretched his neck while he continued his slow thrusts. 

He felt her hands move down between their connected bodies as her head started to move from side to side.  Her eyes were closed as her own hand reached her most intimate folds and she rubbed at her sensitive nub.  Cole was in a state of euphoric shock as he felt her climax and tighten even more around him.   Her loud moan brought him back to reality and he plunged his tongue into her open mouth. 

His kiss turned carnal, as he began to pick up the pace of his own passion.  When he drew his mouth away, he heard his own moan of pleasure escape.  He looked down at her.  “Open your eyes Sierra. “  When she again opened them and locked with his, he continued to thrust harder and faster.  She gripped onto his forearms as he watched her start her crescendo again.  “Surprise,” he managed to get out, before he heard her cry out as the next climax hit her, this time taking him with her. 

Sierra watched him sleep.  He seemed peaceful as his chest rose up and down evenly.  He was undoubtedly every woman’s fantasy.  The cover had slid down to his waist, exposing his finely sculpted chest and arms.  One arm was draped over his head as he lay on his back. 

She knew he would ask questions when we awoke.  She wasn’t prepared to answer them.  She wasn’t sure herself.  This was so unlike her.  She knew he had been shocked by her virginity.  She had secretly hoped that maybe her hymen wouldn’t be intact.  After all, she was a very active horsewoman and had heard that the hymen could break without intercourse.  No such luck in her case. 
It wasn’t that big of a deal, was it?
  She knew her body and how to please herself. 

This was something she had wanted and desired.  The desire she felt with Cole was what sex was supposed to be like.  The fact that he brought her to a second climax once the pain had subsided was amazing.  The pain was over quick and when he had started to move again…  She blushed in remembrance. 

Her own inhibitions were let loose and she felt as desirable as he made her feel.  She was afraid he would start drilling her with questions once he found his own release, but instead he had moved behind her and pulled her close.  She must have fallen asleep immediately.
