“Are there any cameras in here?” I asked her.

“No, none,” she said with a devilish grin.

“Good,” I said with a growl as I tore her clothes from her body. I needed to see her, touch her, and feel the love she freely offered me. “So beautiful,” I told her as I caressed her exposed, soft skin.

I leaned back against the hay. Her steady hands slowly unbuttoned my shirt and pushed it aside to explore my torso muscles. She leaned down and licked and nibbled little paths of pleasure that lighted my body on fire.

“Govno,” I swore in Bulgarian.

She grinned as she fumbled with the zipper of my jeans while continuing to torment me. Then she stood up. I hated the cold brushing across my skin at her loss, but I smiled up at her and moved to dispose of my pants.

“Be right back,” she said, and disappeared into the next room.

I was confused, but my jaw dropped open when she returned with a cowgirl hat. She quickly got rid of the last of her tattered clothes and then gave me a wink as she secured the hat on top of her head.

She stood between my legs wearing nothing but that hat. I suddenly felt like I was starring in my best wet dream ever as her fingers skimmed along my stomach, letting her nails scrape just enough to cause my skin to prick all over. Then she leaned forward and straddled me.

I moaned in excitement and pulled her closer for a kiss. My hands rubbed up and down her legs as my heart started beating faster. She positioned herself just right and slid slowly onto my length until our bodies were joined as one.

She pulled back with a seductive smirk and rode me like a cowgirl. I had never experienced anything so erotic and in my excitement, I couldn’t hold out long. I played with her nipples, and rubbed her to help spur her on, but soon every muscle in my body was tightening and I exploded harder than I’d ever come before. It triggered Ruby’s orgasm as she shattered in my arms.

She collapsed against my heaving chest. My heart was beating fast and a sheen of sweat covered my body. I held her tightly as the adrenaline began to wane. My limbs suddenly felt heavy as the weight of the night sunk in.

“What time is it?” she asked, unable to lift her head.

I looked at my watch. “Five-twenty,” I confirmed.

“Shit!” she said, jumping up.

I immediately missed the warmth of her body pressed against me. She started gathering up our clothes and offered me her hand to hoist me up. I groaned, not wanting to go anywhere.

Ruby giggled. “We have to get out of here. People will be showing up any second.”

My wolf growled as I looked around. I moved quickly, not wanting anyone to see my mate in the state of ecstasy I’d just had her in. I gathered up the last of our things and we ran into the barn and up the stairs to the apartment just as the first truck pulled up. I could hear voices below as I shut the door.

We stood there breathing hard until Ruby began to laugh. I pulled her into my arms as I leaned against the door and laughed with her.

“That was a close one,” she said.

“That was worth it,” I told her, enjoying the blush that crept across her skin.

“Don’t you start that again,” she warned. “I need to take a shower and get to work.”

I scowled at her. “No. You’ve been up all night. Take a shower if you need, but you’re going to crawl your sexy ass into bed and get some sleep.”

“Bran, I can’t. I have work to do.”

“Clay can handle it,” I insisted. I had caught up on the “who’s who” list around the ranch and knew Clay was the right man for the job. “Hit the shower and I’ll go make sure everything’s in order.”

“It’s my job. I have to work,” she stubbornly insisted.

“No, you don’t. There’s an entire town running this place, Ruby. It doesn’t have to all fall onto your shoulders.”

“But the dairy—”

I cut her off. “The dairy has an entire team at your disposal. It’s well known that you work more hours and harder than anyone here. Let them do their jobs and pitch in.”

She pushed away from me, still grumbling under her breath as she headed for the bathroom and slammed the door closed behind her.
