The Billionaire Cowboy's Carolina Girl (Contemporary BWWM Romance) Read Online Free PDF

I had dreams of you where you were pregnant, glowing and beautiful."

    "I don't even know if I can have kids. What if I can't? My mama had problems..."

    "Your sister is older than you, right? No reason to worry. Besides, we'll adopt six or seven of 'em if you can't. Just as long as it's you and me... we're family, Nita. I always knew we were. I spent years looking for you, and somehow we walked into the same room. And there you were, just as beautiful as the day I left you. I should never have gotten on that plane." He tipped my face towards his, kissing me as gently as he had before. But this time his lips lingered on mine, communicating the desire he'd held inside for so long. He kissed me hungrily, searching my lips with an aching need. The desire took over my body, making that tiny pinprick of desire expand. Warmth spread through my thighs, tongues of fire leaping through me, making each cell in my body explode with need.  

    "I should have... I should have kept in touch with you. I should have done something. I don't know what I should have done."

    "And right now, I should be goin' out to your couch while you get some sleep. That ankle's gotta heal before you do anything else." He cleared his throat and pulled away from me.

    "Stay," I said simply. "Stay with me tonight, and we'll decide everything in the morning."  

    "Are you sure, Nita Lee?" He kissed me again, his lips sweet and tender. But I could sense the strength behind them.  

    "I'm sure," I said, pulling him to me. "My ankle doesn't even hurt that much when you're here with me." Even though I wasn’t sure, I knew there wasn’t any choice but to give in. We had both been waiting so long, and this is what we truly needed.

CHAPTER FOUR

    "Are you sure you want to do this, Nita? I know I've been doggin' you ever since I got here... but I don't want you to do nothin' you'll regret."

    "I won't regret it. I've been waiting too. I don't know how we'll work it all out. But... I want to be with you too. At least right now."  

    I didn't know if we would be leaving together for Austin the next day. Hell, it seemed that I *couldn't leave my life in Los Angeles. But my entire body and brain felt like they might explode, leaving me in a thousand pieces, if I couldn't be with Billy Joe that very instant. My heart beat hard in my chest, sending fire through my veins.  

    He took me into his arms, gently pulling my body onto his lap. He crushed his lips against mine, hungrier and more insistent than he had been only a few minutes ago. The anxiety rushed through me. We'd left each other with broken hearts so long ago... And now we were rushing into this all again. But here we were. I was undone, completely helpless in his arms. He traced his fingers over the neckline of my dress, his fingertips brushing against the sensitive flesh of my breasts. He put his hands on each of my arms, lightly brushing against my skin.  

    "Anita Lee, the most beautiful woman I've ever known. Who knew you were holed up in California? You don't belong in this city. Yours is the kind of beauty that belongs in nature, the kind of body that needs to move in the sunshine and open fields." I laughed, shivering slightly as he moved his hands down to my waist and kissed me again.  

    "You're too much of a poet for your own good, Joe. What if I'm not the woman you knew? What if I've changed so much and lost so many of my dreams that I don't make you happy anymore?" A prickling heat rose behind my eyes. How could one moment make me feel so excited... so happy... and yet, so afraid?  

    "Ain't possible," he said, kissing my cheek and moving his lips down my neck. He spoke no more and moved his lips over the fabric of my dress, taking one nipple into his mouth through the gauzy fabric of my dress and bra. I gasped, holding him closer as he moved his mouth to the other breast. He teased my other nipple, and shocks of pleasure ran through my body, hitting every nerve ending in my body. It seemed
