Once they were gone, Rachel put the cold stuff away, then started on the rest of the groceries. She still had on her running shorts, and Blue jumped up and caught the bottom of her shorts. “Hey, you little stinker. Your claws are sharp.” His back claws dug into her leg as he tried to climb up.
She pried his claws out of the material and brought him up in front of her face. “Where do you think you’re going?” He meowed, and she set him on her shoulder. He seemed happy there, playing with her hair as she put the groceries away. She tried not to think about how much she was going to miss him and the rest of her ragtag crew when she left.
She moved their suitcases to the main bedroom. The cabin was new and still faintly smelled of paint. The bed was king-size and had a quilt like the one in their other cabin. There were two doors in the room, one she assumed was a closet and the other the bathroom. She dropped Blue on the bed and gave him a toy to play with.
She was trying to decide whether to live out of her suitcase or put her things away when Dallas and Bella returned. “Everything okay?”
“For now. I’d really like a gate at the entrance. I’ll call Jack in a while and see if he can make that happen.” He walked to one of the closed doors and opened it. “Awesome.” He crooked his finger, and like a woman bewitched, she went to him.
He reached into the large shower and turned on the water, then said, “Strip,” in a bossy voice that made her want to obey his every command.
“You want me to take a shower?” They had been out running earlier and still had on their exercise clothes. She really was stinky.
“We. We’re going to take a shower.” He pulled his long-sleeve Henley over his head.
“We?” she squeaked. “I’ve never taken a shower with a man.”
His grin was positively wicked. “Then you’re in for a treat.” He slid a finger inside her sports bra and tugged. “Take it off.”
The things this man was teaching her! She let her inner wildcat come out, the one she’d never known before him that was inside her, just waiting to make itself known.
“You take it off.”
The way his lips curved up was positively wicked. “You okay with a fireball burning us up? Because that’s where we’re headed if I play your game.”
“So okay,” she said, or maybe gushed. “Do your worst.”
He laughed. “Oh, I plan to.” He divested her of her sports bra before she knew what was happening. She loved his laugh and that happy gleam in his eyes. That first day, when she’d talked to him on the porch early the next morning, his eyes had been haunted. That had been the reason she hadn’t insisted he find someplace else to stay.
“Damn,” he said as his gaze landed on her breasts and stayed there. “Beautiful. Just fucking beautiful.”
No man had ever looked at her the way he did, as if he wanted to devour her. He slid his hand behind her neck and lowered his mouth to hers. “Just a little taste,” he murmured against her lips.
While he kissed her, he dropped his hands to the waist of her shorts and unzipped them. He dipped a finger inside the elastic of her panties and at his touch on her skin, she moaned. He was ruining her for any other man.
“Another minute and I’ll have you on the floor.” He stepped back. “Shorts off and in the shower with you.”
She wanted more and leaned toward him.
He chuckled. “In the shower with you. I’ll be back in a sec.”
The shower in this cabin was twice the size of their previous one and would easily fit two people. Excited about this new adventure, she hurriedly stripped and stepped inside the stall. Two bottles of bodywash—a vanilla-scented one and a sandalwood one—shampoo, and conditioner were on a shelf, and she picked up the vanilla bodywash, uncapped it, and sniffed.
A hand reached over her shoulder and took the bottle from her. “Allow me.”
Chapter Twenty-One
Dallas set the condom on the shelf, then poured a generous amount of the bodywash into the palm of his hand. He put his mouth next to Rachel’s ear. “I’ll tell you a secret. Shower sex is a first for me, too.”
She tilted her head and looked up at him. “We’re having shower sex?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“And you’ve never done this before?”
“Never.” He’d enlisted in the Navy as soon as he’d gotten his degree in farm and ranch management. College had been something he’d wanted to get through as fast as possible, so he’d doubled up on his classes, leaving little time for parties, girls, and shower sex.
He spread the bodywash over her shoulders, down her arms, then back up. “Lean back on me.” She did, and he slid his hands down her sides, then up to her breasts. She pressed her backside into him, snuggling her bottom against his erection.
