Mistress Christmas: Wild West Boys Read Online Free PDF Page B

your family?”
    “One sister, one brother. Both married. Both living on the East Coast. Both popping out grandkids for my parents. So I’m the pariah out here in no man’s land. They can’t imagine why anyone would want to live in Denver and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to live anywhere else.”
    “I hear ya. I love to visit the homeplace, but I don’t see myself ever goin’ back to Wyoming to live permanently.”
    “Not even because you miss your horse?”
    His bad-boy grin was a thing of beauty. “Not even because I miss my horse and my hat.”
    “I’ll admit I’d like to see you tricked out in chaps, spurs, a hat and boots, swinging a lasso.”
    Before Holly’s chagrin for her suggestive comment set in, Nick grabbed her hand. He dragged his mouth across the inside of her wrist and the feel of his warm, soft lips created a swoopy sensation in her belly. “I notice you didn’t mention me wearing pants of any sort.”
    “Nick—”
    “Say my name again, all soft and breathy like that,” he demanded.
    “Nick, I don’t know what I’m doing here. I’ve never done anything like this.”
    “Like what?”
    “Meeting up with a man like you.”
    He frowned. “What do you mean, a man like me?”
    “A man who is hot as sin, built like a Bronco’s defensive end, and is confident enough to make me take risks I never had the guts to before. A man who can get me off fully clothed in less than five minutes. A man who makes me wonder…”
    “Wonder what?” His eyes flared pure male interest.
    “What it’d feel like to experience passion like that again, sans clothing of any sort.” There. She’d said it.
    “That was your first taste of passion?”
    Holly shook her head. “But it’s been awhile…a long while since I’ve experienced anything remotely close. In the last few days I’ve realized I’m still not living the life I envisioned.”
    “If you could change that vision, what would you do first?”
    Here’s your golden opportunity, Holls. Grab the bull by the horns and demand the cowboy take you for a ride.
    “Remember when we toasted and you asked me about Christmas wishes?”
    He nodded.
    “I was too nervous to be honest about what I wanted.”
    “So be honest now. What is your fondest Christmas wish?”
    “One night of sexual decadence.”
    Both his eyebrows lifted.
    “With you.”
    Nick’s jaw tightened. “Are you fucking with me?”
    “If that means I’m propositioning you, then yes.” Rather than retreat from his suspicious eyes, Holly leaned closer. “Aren’t you curious to see how delicious it’d be to get off when we’re naked together?”
    “Like you wouldn’t believe. But I’ve gotta ask why the sudden change of heart? How can you be sure I’m not a serial killer?”
    “Because you would’ve followed me home from the club and snatched me on a deserted road, not bullied me into having coffee with you in public.”
    “True. So how do I make your wish come true, Mistress Christmas?”
    “Don’t call me that.” Holly wrinkled her nose. “That’s not who I am.”
    “Who are you?”
    “A woman who’s interested in you. So the question is, are you interested in me?”
    Instead of answering, Nick placed her hand over his heart to show her how fast it beat.
    The heat in his eyes, in his hand, in his body stoked the fire inside her hotter than she ever dreamed.
    “Your chest is so hard,” she whispered.
    “And it ain’t even the hardest part of me right now.”
    Holly smiled at his comment. “One night? No strings, no promises, no regrets?”
    “Deal. With one little catch.”
    “Which is?”
    “If it’s up to me to fulfill all your sexual wishes, then I get to be one hundred percent in charge of providing that pleasure. You have to trust me and do what I tell you.”
    “Within reason. No pain games.”
    “I’m not into pain. I’m into seeing your body light up like a Christmas tree from all the orgasms I’m gonna wring from you.” Nick
