“You’re not going anywhere, little trespasser.”
Unable to refute his commanding tone, she kept her eyes shut and bit her lip.
She felt his teeth bite her earlobe, hard enough to send a shock of desire down to her pussy. “This is some bath you’re giving me, Luke.”
“I’m just getting started, sweetheart. You can’t imagine what’s to come. I promise to make this the best bath you’ve ever had.”
She didn’t doubt it. Already it topped her list of bath-time memories. “You’re in charge.” She didn’t know why she trusted him so much when she’d barely met him. Maybe it was that he’d helped her when she was hurt. Maybe it was shifter magic. She didn’t know, but she definitely did feel safe with Luke.
“You’ve got that right, Megan.” He cupped her chin. “Open those beautiful eyes for me.”
She obeyed and saw Luke. He wasn’t smiling. “Seriously, I can bathe myself.”
He looked so serious and intent. “You’ve got a lot to learn, honey.”
Luke grabbed her hair and tugged. Then he took his other hand and wrapped it around the back of her neck, pulling her in close.
“I–I’m not sure about—”
His lips crushed hers, silencing any protest. Dizziness took hold of her under his kiss, and then he brushed his lips down her neck, sending shockwaves to her very core.
Was it possible to fall in love so quickly? She doubted that could ever happen except in storybooks. Yet, something about him warmed her up completely and wrapped itself around her heart. Probably not love. Whatever it was, she didn’t have any means or inclination of stopping it tonight. The train of sensuality was blasting down the tracks without brakes.
As Luke continued kissing her into oblivion, she felt his hands wander up and down her torso, lingering here and there, pinching her nipples, skating up her sides, massaging her breasts, pulling on her hair, and so many other wonderful touches. She craved like mad for him to touch her clit and pussy.
“Let’s get you totally cleaned up, sweetheart.”
She felt her lips tremble as he dipped the cloth again into the warm water. He started with her feet, which were normally very ticklish but strangely not with him. The squeeze of his hands around her toes felt more like a massage than cleaning. Then he gently worked on her swollen ankle.
“That feels amazing.”
“You’re still very swollen. No break, but you definitely did sprain your ankle really bad.”
“You a doctor?” she asked. “You look more like a cowboy to me.”
“Honey, cowboys know quite a bit about broken bones. Running livestock teaches you a lot about how a body works.” Luke moved the cloth up her legs, and the sensations it created made her nerves spark alive.
He’d touched her entire body except one place, the place she needed to be touched in the worst way. Absently, she plunged her hands into the water to curb her want. But before she reached the intended spot, Luke grabbed her wrists, lifting her hands from the water.
“No. You’re not the driver here, little trespasser. I am. Understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Megan didn’t understand why she was being so compliant, but she was—and loving it, too. There was no possible way for her to tamp down the impulses he was awakening.
“Now, you want me to rub your pussy, sweetheart?”
She nodded, closing her eyes at the burn that hit her cheeks. One night. That’s all this could be. Megan knew it. She had to go back to Dallas and her life there. But she wanted him, had to have him. A deep need disintegrated her will and logic to ashes.
“Really? I’m not sure you deserve that from me.” His tone seemed lust filled and sounded very deep, like a growl. “You did trespass on my property. I think you deserve to be punished.”
Never in her life had she felt more feminine or desirable. Surely this was only a one-night stand to him. She couldn’t mean more to him than that. But at the moment, it didn’t matter to her. These
