Ihadn’t expected to confess everything about my ex to Emily, but it felt cathartic, somehow. Like I’d needed to get it off my chest—needed to let it go—so I could move on. So I could look forward to a new future.
Hopefully, one where the beautiful woman in front of me stayed by my side.
Was it too much to ask?
She’d kissed the tears off my face, for fuck’s sake. No one had ever done that for me before.
And now, with her nipples pressed against my chest, her soft, wet body straddling mine, I couldn’t find myself to be upset about the circumstances that had happened. Because they’d led me here—to her.
“Emily,” I murmured, slipping my hand around the back of her neck. “What are you doing to me?” She shook her head as I kissed her bare skin on her throat, sucking it into my mouth. “God, I don’t deserve you.” I gripped her thighs tighter, pulling her until there wasn’t an inch of our bodies that weren’t touching.
“You do,” she said, cupping my cheek and rubbing her thumb over my beard. “You do, Mason.”
Her eyes were shining as I pulled back, looking into her eyes.
She moved back, as if she were going to get off of me, but I shook my head, keeping hold of her body. “Come on. Let me hold you.”
A nod, and then she relaxed against my chest, both of us letting out a sigh as we let the heat of the hot tub warm us from the inside out. I didn’t know how badly I’d needed this.
Someone to hold. I’d missed having someone to talk to, someone to share my feelings with. Someone who I could be myself with.
“I didn’t freak you out earlier, did I?” I brushed a piece of damp brunette hair behind her ear. “With all of that?” It was a lot to confess at once, I knew.
She shook her head, her fingers tracing circles on my abs under the water. “No. Honestly, it was a relief.”
“A relief?” I frowned. “How so?”
Emily looked up at me with a sheepish expression on her face. “I just couldn’t help but wonder, you know. What went wrong? If you were still in love with her. But…”
“But I’m not.”
“Yeah. I guess I just would have felt guilty, you know? If you had unresolved feelings.”
“I don’t. Not anymore. I’m glad that’s all in the past. It hurt, but now I’m here.” I gestured around us. “Back in Montana. Back on the ranch. And…” I rubbed a thumb over her cheekbone. “Here with you.”
She sucked in a breath. “Yeah. Me too.”
“Good.”
I kissed her softly, but it quickly turned to more. Fuck, how could I already want her again? Her fingers found my lengthunder the water, wrapping around my cock, and she pumped me slowly.
“We can’t seem to keep our hands off each other,” I said with a groan.
Emily gave me a sexy little smirk. “And why would we want to, cowboy? I told you, I’mobsessedwith this body.”
“That’s not what you said,” I grunted as she ran her thumb around the head. “You said you were obsessed withme,baby.”
She dropped her lips into a little pout that had me wanting to fuck her mouth again. “There’s a difference?” She batted her eyelashes, squeezing her tits between her arms.
I gripped the back of her neck, forcing her mouth to mine. “Of fucking course there is, darlin’. I’m obsessed withyou.I can’t get enough of you. Your body is just…fuck.It’s like whipped cream on top of hot chocolate. You might not need it, but, fuck, if it doesn’t taste like heaven.”
Emily giggled as I bent my head down, capturing one of her nipples with my teeth, sucking it into my mouth. Her giggle quickly turned into a low moan as I licked and sucked, nipping the tiny bud before switching sides and giving the other one the same attention. Keeping her stuck in place with my tight grip on her thighs, she kept pumping my shaft as I worshipped her breasts and those pretty pink nipples. “I want to fuck these,” I told her, before tugging on her nipple with my teeth. “Want to feel your tongue on my cock as I thrust between ‘em.”
She let out a whimper as her head dropped back, hair falling into the tub.
“Is that a yes?” I asked, looking up at her with a wicked expression on my face.
My girl just nodded. “Whatever you want, Mason,” she gasped.
