He lunged for her, tore the condom out of her hand and ripped it open. She giggled and gladly gave up the task to him. But when he hovered over her, his erection poised at the entrance of her pussy, she stilled.

Their gazes locked.

“Give me your mouth.” His rough command ignited her insides.

Surging upward, she tipped her face up to his while hooking her ankles behind his back.

In one stroke, he joined them.

Her muffled cry was echoed by his low groan as they began to move in tandem. He grasped her ass and yanked her off the mattress to meet every plunge while blowing her mind with his talented, endless kisses.

Their soft sounds mingled, growing more intense by the heartbeat. The thick feel of his cock coupled with the hard steel of his body moving overtop hers stole coherent thought. She couldn’t wrap her head around how she’d gone to Wyoming to deliver a honeymoon portfolio but ended up in bed with the groom’s brother in his amazing Lake Tahoe cabin.

More confusing was the amount of intensity in his gray eyes as he thrust deep and ground his cock against her G-spot.

“Come for me, princess. Come on my cock.”

She panted. “Yes! Yesss.” She threw her head back. Electricity zapped along every nerve ending. Her heart tripped.

“Fuck! I can’t hold out with you. You drive me…fucking crazy.” He bit off the words in gritty rasps. His muscles hardened.

She locked her body around him and angled her hips to take him deep. The spicy scent of his bodywash flooded her senses. His lips trailed fire over her skin. She tilted her head to give him better access to the extremely sensitive area he’d sucked on earlier.

When his lips hit the sweet spot, her desire amped up higher and higher. The light filtering into the room cast him in a golden glow, highlighting the strength of his biceps, shoulders and chest.

She twisted her mouth against his skin, needing to taste him too. When she grazed his pec with her teeth, he let out a low growl. She felt his movements grow jerky, disjointed.

“Take me, Colt!” Her orgasm hit, bowing her off the bed.

He grasped her ass and yanked her into him in quick thrusts at the same moment his release struck. The tight knot in her core snapped, and his liquid heat spread through her. The dark whip of sensation inside her felt like a heartbeat of its own.

She watched pleasure play across his rugged features. The cords in his neck stood out, and a vein pulsed under his tanned skin.

Holding him close, she let her fingers patter over his spine, down to his carved ass. When he collapsed on top of her, half rolling to the side so he didn’t crush her, she studied his face.

A curl tumbled into her eye, and she pushed it away, not wanting her view of him obscured at all. The lines of stress etched around his eyes had smoothed out, leaving him looking rested.

Satisfaction spread through her entire body. A sudden giggle bubbled up her throat, and she did a terrible job of squelching it.

Colt turned his head to pierce her in his deep gray gaze. “Do I want to know what you’re laughing at?”

“I was just thinking that if I’m going to write up a contract for this place, I’m going to have to ask you to add working smoke detectors…because that sex was a five-alarm blaze, and not a single one went off.”

Chapter Eight

The cool night breeze came across the lake, carrying the scent of autumn and pine. It teased at Aspen’s curls and tugged at the wool blanket she had wrapped around her shoulders. They hadn’t done more than sip wine and talk, but the evening had been one of the most memorable ones of her life.

Colt walked ahead of her, leading the way back to the cabin. The water lapping at the dock was the only sound breaking the quiet.

It was peaceful. Soothing.

“How can you see where you’re going? It’s pitch black.”

In front of her, he stopped walking and half turned to her. “Sorry. I wasn’t thinking.” He pulled out his phone and turned on the flashlight. He directed it at their feet, giving her a better view of the path leading from the dock.

The glow also sent shadows dancing across Colt’s face. She studied the lines between his brows, wondering what secrets put them there.

As if sensing the serious turn of her thoughts, he looped out an arm and tucked her against his side.
