The drive is filled with silence, not one of us talking, just the sound of the wind and the slight thunder rumbles in the distance.
The truck slows down coming to a stop. As I open my eyes, my gaze is focused on the field that houses the very sunflowers seen perfectly in the one spot that my mind always takes me to when I close my eyes at night.
My focus is shifted by the soft grip on my chin pulling my eyes to face the man I’ve shared this spot with for almost our entire lifetime growing up. He has leaned in closer, bringing me just inches from him.
Yup. This. Is. Happening.
My breathing has become more of short breaths. His thumb lifts to brush over my bottom lip making me stop breathing all together.
"It’s been a long time coming Boots. Are you sure you’re up for this? Once that line is fully crossed there is no going back.”
I can feel his breath on my lips causing a heat to wash over my cheeks. I clench my jaw to try not show the effect he is causing and mask it with a challenging look raising my eyebrow with the faint lift of my corner lip.
"I think we’ve waited long enough don’t you, cowboy?” My heart is racing and I swear he can hear my heart beat.
I repeat.
THIS.
IS.
HAPPENING.
There’s a flash of light reflecting through the windshield followed by a loud rumble of thunder, acting as if a sound to a gun starting a race, and at that moment that hand placed on my chin wrapped behind my neck crashing my lips to his. My toes curl in my boots as I inhale his kisses. I’ve dreamt of these lips ever since that night so long ago in the back of his truck. My have we come full circle. The kiss isn’t sweet and tender like I imagined; it's more hurried and rough, our tongues mapping the inside of one another's mouth.
He removes his hands from my face and places them on my hips dragging me onto his lap, my legs opening up to straddle him.
"I’ve craved these lips since the first time I tasted them.” He mumbles against my lips still devouring them in the process.
A small moan slips out as a response his lips making their way down my neck nipping at the sensitive spot just above my collar bone.
"Truth or Dare boots?”
I'm so lost in bliss from this hot make out that I don’t hear him making him repeat himself again. He bites right above my breast, making me jump.
“I said Truth or Dare boots?” His dark green eyes look up to mine.
“Dare.” I say with shallow breaths my eyes staring right back at him.
He pulls back as far as he can in the tight space removing me from his lap. Putting the truck back in gear he heads straight to his house, then gets out of his truck.
What the fuck? Is this his Dare? Tease me and then leave me? Slamming the door he rounds the truck looking like he is about to head inside before he comes over and rips open the door.
“Don’t tell me you’re scared? What happened to all that confidence in the bar?”
With the reminder of confidence running through me a surge of energy sparks and the high I feel after having him kiss me the way he did I step out and come face to face with him.
"I don’t back down on any dare vaquero” I nudged past him headed towards the house with him hot on my tail.Before we reach the door Rhett pulls me back to him smashing his lips to mine in one hard earth shattering kiss.
"Ready for the next part of the dare?” His hot breath is heavy with need, my chest rising and falling faster. I nod my head but all he does is shake his.
"I can't hear you”
"Yes.” My voice is barely audible but seems to satisfy him,
"Good girl, I dare you to not make a single sound— while I fuck you.” His hands are roaming all over my body.
"Think you can handle that?”
