“Damn, you taste good. It’s all I’ve thought about, and it was worth the wait.” Their mouths met again in fervent kisses as he slowly entered her. Once fully inside, he nuzzled against her cheek and then took her earlobe between his teeth for a gentle tug. “Let’s do that again.” He began thrusting rhythmically. “Wrap your legs around me, darlin’.”

Parker obeyed, wrapping herself tightly around him and eliciting a deep groan from his chest. His hand slipped beneath her butt to pull her even closer to him. Their breathing became heavy and synchronized as their bodies moved together in perfect harmony. Each intimate touch of bare skin against bare skin heightened the urgency they felt.

Parker sensed another orgasm building within her and craved it desperately. She let out a needy groan.

“Maverick, please.”

“Always, baby. Always.” He quickened his pace and drove into her harder.

As she cried out once more, he released a guttural groan from deep within his chest. She marveled at the sensation of him throbbing inside of her as he reached his orgasm. Exhausted but content, Maverick rested his face in the crook of her neck and breathed deeply. Then he rolled to his back, pulling her tight against him.

Parker put her arm across his waist and rested her cheek on his chest.

“I want to do that again,” she said.

Maverick chuckled. “Sure, but give me a few minutes.”

Parker laughed, then sobered. She couldn’t stop thinking about all she had missed, and a tear slid down her cheek, then she choked back a sob.

“Parker? What’s wrong, baby?”

She shook her head. “I can’t believe what I’ve missed. I’m so angry at myself.”

“Why would you be angry at yourself?”

“I should have talked to someone… anyone but I thought it was me.”

Maverick laughed. “Trust me, sweetheart, it’s not you. I told you, you’re a very sensual woman. You just needed someone to show you.”

“I’m so glad you did.” Parker sat up and stared at him. She smiled when he tucked her hair behind her ear. He amazed her. “I think I’ll become a slut.”

He burst out laughing and pulled her back down onto his chest.

“As long as you’re my slut, I’m fine with that.” He yawned. “How about we take a shower and get some sleep?”

“I might wake you up later. I have a lot to make up for.”

“No problem.” He rolled out of bed, took her hand, and they entered the bathroom.

Maverick walked through the barn, leading Cisco with Blue following close behind. He spotted Wes approaching and greeted him with a grin.

“Hey, Wes.”

“Maverick, we have to move some cattle to the west pasture.”

“No problem,” Maverick responded.

“There are twenty cows with calves that need to go there.”

“Got it. Where are they currently?”

“In the north pasture, section one eighty.”

Maverick’s heart sank. Moving the cattle would take a while, which meant he wouldn’t be able to spend the weekend with Parker like he had planned. But he knew he had to do his job. He sighed.

“I’ll round up some men and we can head out Thursday morning if that works for you.”
