He didn’t let go of her until they arrived back at the ranch an hour later. Kelsey didn’t seem to mind as they kept discussing the bands they both liked.
Spring pulled up in front of Kelsey’s cottage, his heart pounding in his chest. He parked his pickup, then turned to her. He debated with himself if he should lean in and give her a goodnight kiss.
“Would you like to come in for a drink?” she asked with an inviting smile.
“Hell, yeah.” He spoke before he could talk himself out of it. The sight of her in that dress had been driving him crazy all night.
As soon as he stepped through her front door and into her darkened living room, Spring couldn’t to hold back any longer.
Finally giving in to the desire that had been building between them for days, he pushed Kelsey against the wall and captured her lips in a searing kiss.
Kelsey’s lips parted beneath his. She reached up to wrap her arms around his neck.
He dragged his teeth over her plump lower lip. She inhaled sharply, then eagerly pressed the soft mounds of her breasts against him.
For the next few minutes, Spring’s world shrank down to the interchange of lips and tongues, teeth and needy whimpers, fingers digging into his tight shoulder muscles and impatient hips bumping against the aching ridge of his hard-on.
His pulse hammered in his ears, need suffocating him. He groaned with pleasure when Kelsey’s short nails scraped up his nape and over his scalp, knocking his hat to the floor.
It had been so damned long since he’d done this with anyone. Hunger clawed at him. He wanted everything.Now.
With a supreme effort of will, he forced himself to slow down the kiss. If this was going to happen—and itwas, because nothing short of Kelsey telling him no was going to stop him now—he needed to make sure she enjoyed herself as much as he did.
Besides, there was nothing like watching a woman lose control and surrender to the pleasure he was giving her.
I’m gonna to make her come so often and so hard tonight that she won’t make it out of bed before noon tomorrow.
When they finally broke apart, gasping for air, their eyes locked, revealing the intensity of their feelings.
“Kelsey,” Spring panted, his voice hoarse with lust,“I lied… tonight reallywasa date.”
Kelsey laughed breathlessly, her lips wet and swollen from his kisses.“I kind of suspected that.” She paused.“Look, I know you’re not in the market for a relationship right now. Neither am I. How’d you like to be my friend with benefits for the rest of the summer?”
“Deal,” he growled.“We’ll be friends… withlotsof benefits.”
Spending time with a friend, even one with benefits, didn’t feel like a betrayal of Laura’s memory.
Right now, all he wanted was Kelsey naked and panting for more. And if she wanted to be with him, no strings attached… well, that meant he was the luckiest SOB alive.
“God, Kelsey, you look fucking amazing in that red dress.” He leaned in and kissed his way down her neck, stopping briefly to flick his tongue in the hollow of her throat. He tasted salt.
Then he did something he’d been wanting to do since he first saw her in that dress. He buried his face in her cleavage, savoring her scent and the warmth of her skin.
Dropping to his knees, he pulled her dress up to her waist, revealing her lacy black panties.
“Damn,” he breathed as his eyes widened at the sight before him. Kelsey had clearly dressed to impress.
Spring hooked his fingers into the waistband of her panties and yanked them down to her high heels.

Watching Spring lose control at last was winding up Kelsey’s arousal even higher. This was a side to her normally reserved cowboy she’d only seen once before.
As sheput her hands on his shoulders to steady herself and neatly stepped out of her fallen panties, she couldn’t wait to see what he was going to do next.
“Kelsey.” He looked at her, his eyes dilated with need.“I want you.”
Thank God, she thought. Because she was currently naked from the waist down and she’d never been this turned on in her life. Her pussy felt swollen with a slow, aching pulse of arousal.
