Page 34 of A Cowboy Of Her Own

Roark laughed and shook his head. He knew she was in a lot of pain but was glad she could still make jokes. He loved that about her.Whoa!What was that?He did notloveanything about her. He barely knew her. She’d been with him for a mere three days.Wait.He did love having sex with her. It had been so hot and he’d never had better. Hell, if she didn’t hurt so much, he’d have her right now.

“Roark, please stop. This is making me hot. Come here,” she said over her shoulder.

“No, I’m going to grab a cold shower to take care of my dick. You rest.”

“I can be on top––”

“No, you can’t. Just rest. We have a while to be together. You’re going to be here almost a month. I’m done here.” He pulled the towel down to cover her and stood staring down at her. She slowly rolled to her back, smiled up at him, licked her lips, and crooked her finger at him.

“Ain’t happenin’, sweetheart. I’ll be right back and we’ll relax the rest of the night.” He turned from her to head for the bathroom.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Stopping in his tracks, he turned to look at her. “You’re going to be waiting a long time if you’re thinking we’re going to have sex. Not tonight.” He entered the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

****

Damn him!She punched the mattress with her fists. She wanted him and he was telling herno.Hewas tellingher!Since when did a man turn down sex?Since your ass is hurting and you need to rest… that’s when.

Huffing out a breath, she knew he was right. It would only cause her more pain but it had been so hot between them and that scared her. She knew she’d never have that with any other man. The chemistry between them sizzled and that didn’t happen with just anyone. Slowly sitting up, she stood then headed for her bedroom to put her lounge pants and T-shirt on after which, she’d find them something to eat. Maybe if she moved around a little more, it would ease the pain.

After dressing and doing her best not to cry everytime she moved, Priscilla made her way back across the hall and entered Roark’s bedroom. He came out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around his waist and she mentally groaned. Damn, he had such a great body. Those hard pecs and that six-pack stomach had her salivating. She raised her eyes and looked at that gorgeous face. He stood there with his eyebrow raised.

“Stop looking at me like that,” he said.

“I can’t help it.” She started toward him but stopped when he held a hand up.

“Stay right there. I told you, it’s not happening until you’re better. Now, I’m going to get dressed and we’ll find some food then watch some TV. That’s it.” He folded his arms across his broad chest and she watched as a drop of water fell from the end of his hair and rolled down his chest, slid under his arm, across his hard belly, and disappeared under the towel. She wanted to follow it with her tongue.

Suddenly, Priscilla couldn’t stop herself as she walked forward and whipped the towel from him then dropped to her knees in front of him. She wrapped her hand around his dick and that fast it started to rise. She leaned forward and took it in her mouth. When he groaned, she smiled but sucked hard on him. His fists clenched in her hair.

“Priscilla,” he groaned out.

“Shut up. We may not be able to have sex right now but there is no reason why I can’t do something for you.” She put her mouth back over him and sucked while she pumped her hand. He widened his stance, but didn’t say more. When she cupped his balls in her hand, he jerked then a low growl tore from his throat.

“You’re killing me,” he rasped out.

Smiling, she continued to suck on him and pump her hand along his hard, long length until he became harder and his entire body stiffened when he groaned, clenched his fists tighter in her hair, and came. She ran her tongue along his dick and moved up his stomach then stood to take his lips in a kiss. He pulled her against him and deepened the kiss.

“God, that was fantastic. Thank you,” he said through deep breaths.

“You’re very welcome. You’ve done it for me. Payback was in order.”

“Well, if that’s payback, I think I’ll be doing more of that for you,” he said against her lips making her smile.

“I have no problem with that, cowboy. Get dressed. I’m hungry.”

Roark grinned at her. “Me too. Go ahead to the living room. Once I’m dressed, I’ll be out to fix us something. Sit in one of the recliners. It’ll be more comfortable for your sore ass.”

Priscilla laughed. “All right. Hurry.” She quickly kissed him then left the room.

****

Roark sat on the bed and wondered how it had come to this in just three days. How had she wiggled her way under his skin so fast and in such a short time? That first kiss about nearly brought him to his knees and now the thought of her leaving was like a knife to his chest. He’d never felt so much so fast for any woman.

They had both agreed it was sex only and neither would ask for more, but he suddenly wanted more. There was no way he’d ask for it though. He’dagreed that it would be sex and nothing more.Damn it.There was no way he could be falling for her.

How do you fall in love with someone in three days?Although, Jaxon had always said he fell for Bethany the minute he saw her, and Reid said the same about Lucy even though she had belonged to his best friend. Love at first sight only happened in movies and romance novels, right? He shook his head. It seemed the Callahan men fell fast, hard, and deep.
