Soon. But first…

I carry her the few steps to the tree and lean her against the heavy trunk, giving us both leverage as my mouth lowers to her neck, and I free the front buttons of her shirt, pulling it open to reveal a sheer white lacy bra with a tiny pink bow pressed between those full, perfect tits. I groan, and pushing down the lacy fabric of her bra, I draw my mouth over one pink-budded nipple and suck.

Callie arches her back, bringing her tit even farther into my mouth, even as she grinds against my dick until the pressure is going to kill me. I’m filled with the immediate need to plunge my cock into her sweet folds right here and now, against this tree with her tit hanging out for me, glorious and lush in the bright afternoon sun. To fuck that tight little pussy until I’m shooting ropes of cum inside that narrow channel that will tighten and squeeze me as my seed travels to that womb, and—

And hell.

Goddamn. What? I fucking impregnate my best friend’s little girl with my baby?

It’s the cold water I need to get myself in control. I pull my mouth reluctantly from her pebbled pink nipple and slowly bring her back down to earth, holding her steady so she doesn’t fall over.

She looks up at me with such disappointment that I almost change my mind. I’ve never before been able to say no to Callie, not when she was a little girl and not right now.

But I have to. She’s Lucas’s daughter.

“This can’t happen, Callie. I’m sorry, baby doll.”

She looks like I hit her. “I’m not your fucking baby doll, you asshole.”

Without waiting for any more apologies, she shoves me away and unties the reins from the tree. Then she’s mounting the steed and looking down at me with fire in her eyes. “I’m not going to wait around forever, Brody Dalton. If you don’t want to fuck me, I’ll find a cowboy who will.”

With that, she nudges her horse and heads back in the direction of the ranch, with me following a minute later; the pang of regret that hits my gut has me unsure if it’s because I did what I just did… or because I didn’t do more.
