Page 85 of Theirs to Take

“Well, the offer stands,” he said. “Just think about it.” Millie was pretty sure that was about all she’d think about. Working with Ranger day in and day out would be a dream. She knew that Ruby loved her job at McTavish.

They ate and found an action movie to watch and before the end of the night, she was cuddled into Ranger’s side, his arm around her shoulder, and she was sure that she had to be dreaming up the whole thing. And when he leaned in to kiss her, she nearly asked him to pinch her, just to check to see if she wasn’t dreaming.

“Was that okay?” he asked.

“Yes,” she breathed. “You know how you said that you’d like to stay here and get to know me, Ranger?” she asked. He nodded and she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to get this next part out without choking on her words.

“Yes,” he whispered.

“Spend the night with me—in my bed,” she said.

“Are you asking me for what I think you are, Millie?” he asked.

“If you think that I’m asking you for sex, then yes,” she said. “I’d like for you to stay here and have sex with me, Ranger.”

He stood and carried their plates to the kitchen, and she was sure that she had pushed him for too much. Millie felt like an idiot and there was no taking back what she had just asked him for. He came back and stood over her and she wasn’t sure if looking up at him was a good idea or not, but she just couldn’t help herself.

She looked into his big blue eyes, and he nodded. “I’m in,” he said. Millie felt like a kid who just got what she wanted on Christmas morning, and she couldn’t wait to unwrap her next present—Ranger.

Ranger

Ranger didn’t know if agreeing to what Millie wanted from him was a good or bad idea, but he was about to find out. She reached up and took his offered hand and he knew that he should put a stop to this whole thing from happening, but he couldn’t. If he was being honest with himself, he wanted her just as much as she did him—possibly more.

Millie was his walking wet dream with her curves and sass, but he wouldn’t tell her that. She was brave—probably too brave because she asked him for what they both wanted when he just cowered out. The only problem he could find with Millie was that she seemed like the kind of girl who’d get attached—fast. And that was the last thing he needed. He had no plans on having a relationship with her or any other woman, for that matter, but one night couldn’t hurt—right?

Her apartment was set up much the same as Ruby’s place, except she had more flowery, frilly, girly things than Ruby had. Hell, even the comforter on her bed had flowers all over it.

“You do like flowers, don’t you?” he asked.

“I do,” she admitted, “tell me you’re not one of those guys who refuses to sleep under a blanket with flowers on it. Are you secure enough in your masculinity to lay on my bed, Ranger?” she asked. She was teasing him; testing him to see if he’d follow through and there was no way that he’d back out of their arrangement now. Flowers or not, he was all in.

He looked the offensive comforter over and then smiled back at Millie, “I’m good,” he assured. He sat down on the bed and pulled her on top of his lap.

“Good,” she breathed. He carefully removed her glasses and she blinked at him as if letting her eyes adjust.

“Is this okay?” he asked.

“Yeah, I just can’t see much. I’m blind as a bat,” she joked. He thought that she was the sexiest bat he’d ever met, but he kept that to himself.

“Why did you agree to this?” she whispered.

Ranger shrugged, “Because I think that you’re sexy as fuck,” he growled. There, that was a truth that he could give her. She was sexy and wanting her wasn’t the problem.

“You do?” she breathed.

“Yes,” he admitted.

“I think that you’re sexy too,” she said, running her hands up over his pecks. Ranger tugged off his shirt, wanting her to touch him skin on skin and when she obliged, he moaned out loud.

“Do you like that?” she asked.

“Yes,” he hissed. “Your turn.” He pulled her shirt up over her body, revealing every curvy inch of her, and hiss out his breath when he realized that she wasn’t wearing a bra. “See now, that’s fucking sexy.” He palmed her breasts, loving the way that she filled his hands and she leaned into him. The little whimper that escaped her parted lips was nearly his undoing. Millie seemed to feel as raw and needy as he did.

She straddled his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pulled him in for a kiss that nearly took his breath away.

“Where’d you learn to kiss that way?” he asked?

“A girl doesn’t kiss and tell Ranger,” she said. He rolled her underneath his body, covering her with his own, and kissed her until they were both panting for air. “More,” she ordered. Ranger was happy to comply with her order, kissing and licking his way down her body until he got to her leggings. He tugged them off, leaving her bare for him, and settled between her legs. He didn’t wait for permission because he wasn’t about to ask for it. He parted her folds and God, she smelled like heaven. His cock couldn’t wait to get inside of her, but first, he wanted to make sure that she was ready to take him. He licked his way through her folds, giving some extra special attention to her sensitive nub. She cried out and nearly bucked him off the bed. Ranger put his hands on either side of her hips, holding her firmly to the bed so that he could finish eating her. By the time that he finished with her, she was soaking wet and had cried out his name three times.
