Page 59 of Falling For Her Cowboy
She removed her clothes, and with each article that fell to the floor, he grew even harder. He released a curse and shucked off his underwear.
“Whatever, Ridge. I know you.” She brushed past him and went over to the shower.
Her naked form had him salivating. His cock stood fully erect at the sight of her. She reached in and tested the water herself before walking into the spray of water.
He followed behind her.
The initial spray stung. Especially on his knuckles, but he ignored the pain and gathered Melah in his arms. He positioned them to where his back was to the water. She reached up and entwined her fingers at the base of his neck. They stood there for what seemed like eternity just staring at each other. No words were needed. The water beat down on his back in a rhythmic beat. It felt good, but having Melah in his arms was better.
He was in awe that this woman was his. He’d waited forever to find the right person to spend his life with, and he knew without a doubt Melah was his.
“I love you.” He’d never tire of saying the words.
“And I love you.” She lowered her forehead to his chest and inhaled sharply.
He ignored his hard cock and brought her closer to him.
“All I could think about when Theo had me was getting back to you,” she said.
Ridge’s heart thundered. He didn’t want to think of the fear that had filled her at the hands of that crazed lunatic. He’d been close to pulling the trigger when Theo was spouting off what he’d done to Melah. The sound of her begging him and then Draven appearing had brought him back to himself.
He’d gone to a place he hadn’t ever wanted to go to again.
That was why he’d gotten out of the military. He hadn’t wanted to lose himself.
But at that moment looking down at Theo and imagining his hands on Melah, causing her physical pain, imagining her screams…at that moment he’d wanted to end him.
He blinked and came back to the present. He dropped a kiss on the top of her head.
“And all I could think of was getting to you. Melah, you are everything to me.” He tilted her chin up to force her to look at him.
The spray landed on her face. She smiled up at him.
“How did I get so lucky? I didn’t come here to find love,” she admitted. Her small hand slid along his shoulder and came to rest on his chest just above his heart. “I was too busy wanting to figure out my future, but apparently something knew my future was waiting here on this ranch.”
“You’re damn right I was waiting on you,” he playfully growled.
He lowered his head and covered her lips with his. Her worries of finding where she belonged were no more. Her place was here in his arms and his home—their home. What was his, was now hers. He looked forward to having her officially move in and putting her touch on the house he’d built.
When he had designed this place, he’d pictured a wife and kids in it with him.
A moan escaped Melah as he tilted his head to deepen the kiss. Her soft mounds were crushed between them. He slid his hand down her back and cupped her ass. There was no room between them. His cock was pressed against her stomach. He tore his mouth from hers and trailed it along her cheek. He continued on to nuzzle her neck. He walkedthem backward until her back was leaning on the wall.
“Ridge. Your father will be here soon,” she gasped.
He nipped the sensitive skin along her neck, eliciting a tremor through her body. He bent down and lifted her. Her legs automatically wrapped around his waist.
“And?” He trailed his tongue along her skin.
Her fingers dove into his hair, sending a shiver down his spine. He moved her higher to position his cock at her entrance.
“Meaning that we don’t have time for this. We need to?—”
Her words ended in a moan as he brought her down on him. Her pussy opened and accepted him, and he sank completely in her. Ridge groaned at her tightness. He paused and gripped her thighs to hold her in place.
“What was that?” he asked.
He inhaled sharply at how tight she was wrapped around him. Her silky warmth was slick and coated his cock. Melah always took him perfectly. Being buried inside her was where he belonged. His cock swelledeven more.
