Denise snorted. “Yeah right, judging by the way they all look at you I’m surprised they let you work with me this long.”
“What do you mean they all look at me?”
“Oh come on, Kat, you know exactly what I mean, all three of them are like frickin’ walking hard-ons the second you get near them.”
“No they’re not.” She grinned as she remembered the way Justin had pressed up against her in the kitchen the night before, and despite his sister and friends being in the room, he’d proceeded to whisper all the dirty details about what he planned to do to her when he got her alone. “Well, maybe your brother.”
Denise rolled her eyes. “Yeah and his two cronies want to join in or watch at the very least.”
“No they don’t.” Heat rose across her cheeks. Was Denise right? Was that what those looks had been about the first morning?
“Oh. My. God. You cannot be that blind.”
“Really?” Kat asked. A surge of pleasure zipped through her, making her nipples bead tightly. She could almost picture Kasey and Duncan watching her with Justin. Just the thought made her wet. There was something amazingly powerful about knowing three sexy cowboys all wanted her.
“Come on, Kat, you’ve been here long enough to have heard all about those three and their exploits.”
“Of course I have, but that was different. Justin is happy with things the way they are between us.” As close as she’d become with Denise over the past week it was still weird to talk about her sex life with the other woman. She was Justin’s sister for god sakes. It’s not as if she could explain to Denise about the way Justin made her feel. No sister wanted to hear that. God, could this get more awkward?
Denise stared down at her feet as she rubbed the back of her neck. “Look, Kat, I really like you and I’d hate to see you get hurt, so umm…crap, I’m just going to say it. My brother doesn’t do serious, I know you guys are having fun but…well, I just don’t want you to think it’s more than it is because chances are with my brother it isn’t.”
Kat looked around the corral for some way to escape the conversation. “Don’t worry, I know the deal with Justin.” Even as she said the words a knot formed in Kat’s gut. She was such an idiot. Denise was right, if she wasn’t careful she wasn’t just going to get hurt, she’d get annihilated by Justin. Despite her best intentions, she was completely falling for him and that was not good. She needed to get her head on straight. This was casual and she needed to remember that.
Denise looked over and flashed a placating smile that said she knew Kat was full of shit. “I’m going to take you up on your offer and grab the first shower,” Denise told her then turned on her boot and walked toward the house.
Deep in thought, Kat slowly wandered into the barn with the saddle. She dumped it on its spot and headed out to grab the rest of the tack. Hauling up the second saddle, she slung it over her shoulder and made her way back to the barn. Kat set the saddle down on top of the stand and fiddled around until it sat properly. She squealed when strong hands gripped her hips tightly.
“Shh, Kat, it’s me,” Justin’s husky voice whispered as he pulled her tighter against him.
She spun around. Lust hit her the moment she looked at him. Quickly followed the litany of Denise’s words swirling around in her brain, forcing her to remember this was temporary. “What are you doing back in so early?”
“Shovel broke, I came in to grab another one.” He paused and licked his full lower lip, his eyes darkened as he looked down at her. “But now I’m kind of thinking I deserve a quick break.”
Kat smirked. Denise might not think she could handle it but she could. Men like Justin didn’t come along all that often and she planned to enjoy everything he had to offer. She’d deal with the consequences later. “Oh is that right?”
“Mmm hmm, I’ve worked really hard today.” He caged her in against the saddle she’d just set down.
He bent down and ran his tongue up the column of her neck. Kat’s eyes closed and she dropped her head back. She should be embarrassed about letting him kiss her when she was sweaty from working all day but when he moved his hips against her and his hard cock pressed into her belly she moaned. Fuck being sweaty. She wanted to get downright dirty with Justin.
“What did you have in mind for a reward there, cowboy?”
He nipped the soft skin at the base of her ear. “Ever since you arrived here I’ve been picturing you like this. Naked. Me fucking you hard against all the tack, or bending you over the saddle rack.”
She shivered. Despite the heat of the day her nipples pebbled against her shirt. “Oh yeah?”
Justin gripped the sides of her snap-closure shirt with both hands. Looking her in the eyes, he pulled, ripping her shirt open all the way down to the bottom. ”Damn, Kat, I want to fuck you right now.”
Holy cow. She’d never had a man literally rip her clothes off. And Jesus, she liked it. “Then do it,” she challenged.
He glanced at the saddle behind her. His nostrils flared and a slow, sexy smile curled up the corners of his lips. “Take off your pants,” he ordered.
When he got that dominating tone in his voice there was no way she could resist. With other guys that kind of tone turned her off, but with Justin it made everything in her melt. Kat toed off her boots. She flicked open the button on her jeans and shimmied the fabric down her legs.
The moment she stepped out of her pants Justin gripped her hips, picked her up and set her on the edge of the saddle sideways. Naked from the waist down, she shifted her weight on the seat. The movement made her shirt hang wide open.
Justin’s vibrant-blue eyes blazed with arousal as he stared at her, not moving, just looking his fill. Holding out her palm to him, she said, “Come here.”
“Hold that thought,” he said and jogged off to the little office off the tack room. He returned a few seconds later with the first-aid kit in hand.
Kat raised her eyebrows. What the hell was he doing?
He flipped open the metal lid and triumphantly held up a condom.
“You keep condoms in the first-aid kit?” she laughed.
“It’s an emergency kit. It makes sense to be prepared for any emergency.” He flashed her a mischievous grin that made her heart pound. Yeah, way to keep your emotions in check, Kat. Every time she was with Justin she fell a little deeper into him.
Stalking toward her, he licked his lips. “Now where were we? Oh yeah, I was telling you all about my fantasy of fucking you here in the barn.”
The hunger in Justin’s eyes made her tremble, moisture pooled in her core. No man had ever made her feel as desirable as Justin did.
Kat held on to the horn with one hand and the back of the saddle with the other and arched her back so her shirt slipped off her shoulders.
“You are so fucking sexy, Kat,” Justin growled.
He positioned himself between her legs. The contrast of the warm, soft leather at her ass and the rough fabric of his jeans against her sensitive flesh made her hiss in a breath. He swiveled his hips and she pressed into him, desperate for the contact on her clit. Just the way he looked at her was enough to set her on edge, the slightest touch sent tingles through her body.
Justin licked a path up the column of her neck. “Do you know how many times I’ve pictured fucking you in here? Pictured fucking you every fucking place on the ranch?” he growled. “Damn it, Kat, I can’t stop thinking about you.”
The hint of anger in his voice made her lean back to look at him. “Is that a bad thing?” she asked.
“Yeah,” he gritted out the words between clenched teeth as if it pissed him off to admit how much he wanted her.
“Why’s that bad?” she asked. Hope blossomed in her gut. Maybe she wasn’t the only one feeling this struggle to keep things casual.
He looked at her, his chest rose rapidly as he breathed, his eyes stormed with anger and arousal. “Come on, Kat. What’s light about me wanting you every fucking minute of the day?”
She shifted her hips and pressed her body against him. “But I want you just as badly,” she whispered and nipped his bottom lip.
He groaned then his muscular arms banded around her back and pulled her tight against him as his lips crashed down on hers in a kiss she felt all the way to the tips of her toes. The low rumble that rolled from Justin’s chest made her pussy clench. God, she loved that sound, so hungry and aroused as if he was fighting for control.
“Fuck me, Justin.”
He reached between them and ran his finger down the seam of her pussy. “Jesus,” he groaned.
“Just take me hard and fast,” she demanded. She needed to feel him inside her, buried deep.
Stepping back, he lowered his jeans then sheathed himself with the condom. She reached out and pulled him back toward her.
Justin placed his cock at the entrance to her pussy and thrust deep. They both groaned loudly. He paused for a moment, then eased back and thrust forward again. Kat wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. The saddle against her ass supported her, angling her hips in such a way that each stroke allowed Justin to hit her G-spot just right.
Kat inhaled deeply, trying to catch her breath. The scent of sex mixed in with the earthy aroma of worn leather. Awareness that they could be caught at any moment added to her arousal.
Justin reached between them and flicked her clit with his finger. Her pussy clenched as the orgasm started to build, her breathing hitched and she moaned. His teeth bit into the soft spot at the base of her neck as he pounded into her. Kat’s head dropped back and she closed her eyes as an orgasm ripped through her.
Justin continued to bite her neck as he thrust, dragging out her orgasm as one became another.
“Kat, you’re killing me,” he groaned as her orgasm pulled him along with her.
He thrust one final time. Her inner muscles continued to clench while her body slowly came down from its high. Boneless, she slumped against him. What was it about Justin that pushed her to do things that she’d never considered doing with anyone else? And each time she did he brought her to new heights. He took her to places she didn’t know her body could go.
After several seconds Justin cleared his throat and stood. “I should umm, get back to work.”
Her mind replayed over the things they’d both admitted in the heat of passion. She’d promised herself she wouldn’t get in too deep with him and she was. Trying to keep things light, she smiled. “So did that live up to the fantasy?”
Justin cleared his throat again. “And then some,” he mumbled.
Meeting his stare, she was sure the emotion warring in his eyes matched her own. So much for keeping things simple.
Chapter Six
After being on the ranch for the past three weeks Kat had used muscles she didn’t even know she had. Leaning her arms on the rails of the porch, she took a sip of her coffee and stared across the expanse of the open range. The sun broke its way over the eastern mountain range, showing off the kind of sunrises she’d only ever heard about back home. She sighed. A girl could get used to this.
The screen door slammed shut, breaking her quiet contemplation. She didn’t need to turn to know it was Justin. Every fiber in her body came into awareness the second he was anywhere near her. He set his coffee on the rail beside her.
“Bet you don’t see that in New York,” he murmured, following her stare to the mountain range.
“There’s a lot of things about being here that I don’t get in New York,” Kat said as her eyes lingered on the corded muscles in Justin’s forearms. She loved the way those arms felt wrapped around her, the way they’d rippled beneath her fingers when she touched him.
Justin rested his hand against hers. “Well if you’re game, I was thinking this weekend you could experience a few other things you don’t get back in New York.”
“Like?”
“I was thinking it might be fun to spend the weekend at the line shack, there’s a great fishing hole where we could hang out and do some swimming and fishing.”
“Fishing?” she asked and raised her eyebrows at him.
“Among other things.”
“What kind of other things?” she purred as she pictured all kinds of naughty possibilities.
Justin pushed off the railing and moved in behind her. His hard muscular chest pressed up against her back. He dipped his head and his breath brushed against her ear. “I was thinking the guys could come with us.”
“The guys?” she squeaked.
“Yeah.” He sucked her earlobe into his mouth. Kat shivered and tilted her head, not wanting him to stop.
“Kase and Dunc are all over the idea.”
Nerves battled with anticipation. “Really? They both want to?”
Justin snorted. “You’re sexy as hell. Of course they both want to.”
Kat glanced over her shoulder at Justin. “Sexy as hell, huh?”
He gripped her hips and pressed his hard cock against her back. “Feel how hard you get me and I’ve barely even touched you.”
She pressed back and shifted her hips, loving the way he sucked in a breath as she rubbed against him.
He nipped her earlobe. “You like knowing you have that effect on me. Now imagine how that will feel when you have three of us standing there, aching for you.”
Justin’s fingers slid beneath the waistband of her jeans and slowly eased into her panties. Justin groaned. “Damn, you’re wet just thinking about it.”
He swirled his finger around her clit and she widened her stance to give him better access.
“Now just imagine how amazing it will feel to be completely filled with aroused male. Duncan in your mouth, Kasey in that hot pussy of yours and me fucking your ass. Would you like that? Being with all three of us at the same time?” He ran his tongue along her neck and nipped the soft spot beneath her ear.
How would it feel to have them all touching her? She longed to see them naked, the contrast between Kasey’s bulging muscles and Duncan’s whipcord-lean body. Would their cocks match their size? One big and thick, the other long and lean? “Yes,” she hissed.
“So you want to?” he asked as he plunged his finger inside her pussy.
“Oh god yes,” she groaned.
“All right, I’ll talk to them.”
Her head snapped up. “What?”
He kissed her lips and nodded. “I’ll talk to them about it and get it organized.”
“Holy fuck, no. You can’t do that.” She pulled out of his arms
“Why? You just said you wanted to.” His brow wrinkled in confusion as he stared at her as if he didn’t have a clue why she might not be gung-ho.
“Well, Jesus, Justin, there’s a big difference between talking dirty about it with you and doing it for real.”
“Why? What’s the big deal?”
“I don’t know. I just—” She took a deep breath. They’d agreed to keep things light between them. Even to her own ears, saying she was scared it would ruin what they had sounded heavy. But damn it, despite her best efforts she was crazy about Justin. She’d meant to keep things purely about sex but somewhere along the line things had changed. She was already dreading going home in three weeks. The last thing she wanted to do was to ruin what little time she had left with him.
Part of her wanted to jump at the chance to live out this fantasy—three sexy cowboys all focused on her. Who wouldn’t want that? But what if it ruined everything between her and Justin? As much as she fantasized about the idea of being with all three of them, if things didn’t go well and got all awkward, the remainder of her time on the ranch would completely suck.
“What?” Justin asked. “Clearly the idea turns you on so why do you look unsure?”
He turned her around so she was facing him. “What? Talk to me, Kat.”
She exhaled audibly. “I like things the way they are between us and I don’t want to fuck that up.”
Justin’s forehead wrinkled as he looked down at her. “Why wo
uld it fuck things up?”
“Oh come on, Justin, how could it not?”
He shrugged. “It’s sex. It doesn’t have to mean anything. You have a fantasy, I want to help you live it, nothing wrong with that. You helped me out with that stable fantasy I had, this is no different.”
“Yeah right,” she scoffed. “Except this time we’re inviting your friends to come play.”
Justin grinned. “And it will be a lot of fun.” When she scowled, he tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her lightly on the lips. “I know you have concerns and I get that, but trust me. I’ve done this before and it’s not going to fuck anything up for me. Do you think it will for you?”
The fantasy sounded good but a part of her hated the idea that he’d done this before. That he saw her as no different than his buckle bunnies. “I don’t know. I don’t see why it would, but how can you not look at me differently after I have sex with all three of you at once?”
Justin’s cock twitched against her stomach and she glanced down. Justin laughed. “Don’t think it’s going to be a problem, obviously my body is telling you it likes the idea.”
It twitched again and she laughed. “Okay, yeah, it turns you on.”
Justin kissed her again. “Let me give this to you.”
She glanced up at him and met his stare. “You sure it won’t screw things up?”
“It’s not going to screw anything up.” He cupped her jaw and tilted her head so she was looking at him. “Why don’t we all head out tomorrow, the guys will bring their sleeping bags, if you decide you don’t want to then they can camp outside instead of in the cabin with us. It’s your show, whatever you want goes.”
She nervously twirled her hair around her finger. What if I chicken out? “And nobody is going to be mad if I decide not to go through with it?”
“Nah, I’m sure the guys will be disappointed because they’re already jealous as hell that I get to be with you, but no, they’ll understand. We might not be big-city boys but we aren’t idiots. We get that this is a big deal to you, but ultimately it’s your body so it’s your call.”
