The sound of our flesh slapping together slides across the lake, but there’s no one out here to hear it. No one to witness our joining other than the sun above us and the landscape that is our home.

And it is ours.

I just need a little time to prove it to her, but I will. She belongs here. On Limitless Ranch. Next to me.

Nothing is going to stop it, not even her fears.

This ranch is just as much hers as it is mine now. We’ll make all our dreams come true and give August the home he deserves.

One day, when she’s ready, we’ll grow our family and watch them call this land their home. The landscape will shelter us, provide for us, and celebrate our love.

“I’m about to come,” she gasps as her pussy starts to flutter around my shaft.

The base of my spine tingles as my balls draw up. As much as I wish I could fuck her through her orgasm and make her comeagain, there’s no fucking way I’ll be able to hold out. Not with how good she feels. Not with how much I need her.

“That’s right, Freckles,” I grit out, “come all over my cock.”

I fuck her harder and faster, chasing our release. When her orgasm overtakes her, I bury myself as deep inside of her perfect pussy as I can get and let go. Air saws in and out of my lungs as ropes of cum paint her walls.

“You’re rehired,” I rasp and laughter bubbles out of her to blend with the sound of birds in the distance and my heavy breathing.

Perfect.

It’s a perfect moment; one I want to hold onto and be reminded of if she decides to try and push me away again. I won’t allow it, but she can try.

We float together in bliss, our hands roaming as we kiss and breathe and bask. The sun shines down on us and makes it feel like a new beginning.

Maybe it can be.

All I need is a little time and a chance. Hopefully, Delaney has just given me one.

CHAPTER 7

DELANEY

It’s been a few days since the picnic with Noel. I’m sure there are some who would accuse me of being weak and folding far too soon. But I’d love to see someone else stand strong in the face of Noel Burns and how intense the man is.

When he fired me, even if it was bullshit, it pissed me off and I just couldn’t take the tension between us anymore. So, yeah, I jumped him, and I don’t regret it.

I probably should, but I don’t. It’s a line I’ve never crossed before and I thought for sure that I would be drowning in shame, but I’m not. With Noel obliterating that line as if it never existed feels right.

The man is fucking addicting and I’ve been walking around needing another hit for days. I’m sure that makes me a sad example of an independent woman. Maybe I am.

Maybe it’s my prerogative to do what I want and change mymind when I want to. Maybe I’m indecisive and unable to stick to the plan.

Either way, my pussy has been begging me to take Noel for another ride, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself. Even though I’m craving him.

I thought the man wouldn’t leave me alone before, but it’s even worse now.

Every time I turn around, there he is. While I’m finishing up the horse assessments. When I’m using the office in the barn to start putting together a training plan and how to roll out the program.

I’m not complaining, but it isn’t easy to stop myself from climbing the man like a tree at all hours of the day.

Honestly, the night isn’t much better. He’s always there and looking at me with his intense brown eyes. I’ve never squirmed at the dinner table as much as I have the last few nights. Thankfully, August and the rest of Noel’s family are there or else I’m pretty sure I would have launched myself across the table by now.

He would catch me with ease and probably have a smirk on his face the entire time.

I’ve just stepped into the barn, planning to assess of Skittles who is an aptly named Appaloosa and a sweetheart. All the horses are really well mannered and have sweet dispositions that will lend themselves well to the program.
