“Hey, so there’s something I think we need to talk about.”
“Not now, Rose.” A light huff sounded. “I need to help Mom get the horses settled. I’ll call you later, ’kay?” Then he disconnected the call before I could even say a word.
And he never did call back.
CHAPTER FOUR
Cooper
The whiskey bottle thumped to the carpet, and Rose laughed, reaching down to pick it up before the little that remained escaped. It belonged to her dad, but I doubted he’d notice or care that it was gone. He ordered more every month even though he seldom drank it.
I pulled her back over me as soon as she had it standing right side up and gathered her glossy hair in my fist, tugging her face close to mine. Our eyes met, humor fading as our lips slackened and then closed the distance.
Searching hands and drowning breaths soon became desperate annoyance as I laid Rose on her back, then worked my way down her stomach to the apex of her thighs. “No,” she said, but it was hardly a sound as if she’d struggled to expel it.
I frowned up at her, her tanned skin aglow in the dim light coming from the lamp on her nightstand. “Rose, we’ve been over this…”
Leaning over, she opened the drawer of her nightstand and dug through her panties. With a giant, purple dildo in her hand, she settled back on her bed and dragged it down her soft stomach. Unable to help it, my eyes trailed the movement. “Coop, Coopy, Cooper,” she sang on a whisper. “I’ve been seventeen for a week now. It’s time.”
A crease formed between her dark brows when I sighed. “It’s no small thing, Rose.”
She laughed. “I know you’re not, but I’m more than cool with that.” When I glowered at her, unamused, she pouted then asked, “What is it? Are you worried about yourself?”
I reared back a little at that. “No, I want to.” A curse stained the lust-warm air as I tried to figure out how to explain it without pissing her off. “You know damn well I want to. But you often don’t think shit through, Rose. This can’t be another exploration that could end in trouble.”
She just laughed again, the large purple member moving toward her pretty cunt once more.
Naturally, I watched and knew my eyes were hooding. “Rose,” I said, almost embarrassingly hoarse. “Did you buy that thing just to threaten me?”
“I totally did,” she said with a grin wrapped around the admission.
My jaw tightened, but my eyes didn’t move as the dildo halted and then slowly parted her. “If you put that thing inside you before my dick, I’m seriously breaking up with you.”
The very idea of something else stealing what was rightfully mine made my head pound. The one I used for thinking. The other was screaming with hunger pains, wondering what the fuck was taking so long.
“Better hurry up and fuck me, then.”
My eyes shot to hers. I knew there was a high chance she wasn’t bluffing, though, so I grabbed the rubber device from her hand. It flew across her room and smacked into her old dollhouse that she refused to part with and now used as a bookshelf for her mom’s books and the few knickknacks her dad had let her keep.
We stared for an agonizing minute, her teeth sinking into her lip, and then I smothered her body with mine and gripped her face. “You’re sure?”
She kissed me, a soft press that spoke with her words. “So sure I’d take my virginity with a piece of rubber?” I groaned, biting her lip when she laughed. “I’m fucking sure, Cooper Owens. It’s just a hymen. Stop being so afraid of it.”
“It’s going to hurt you,” I said, not realizing I’d planned to.
“I know,” she said with another kiss, this one firmer. “I know, and I want you to hurt me. To make me yours in such an irreversible way.”
A rough breath left me as my forehead dropped to hers, my eyes closing momentarily. “Madly and forever.”
“Madly and forever,” she repeated.
“Condom?”
“I’m on the pill.”
My eyes flared wide at that, and she smiled, dragging her fingers down my sides. “I want you bare, covered in me, and I want us to feel it all.”
“Fuck,” I hissed, shivering from her touch and her words.
