And then logic slammed into the back of her forehead like a sledgehammer. Having sex with another Strong brother wasn’t going to fix anything. She still needed to get some cash in her purse and find Harry so he could give her the money he owed her. She was still dealing with no job prospect once this little project for Michael petered out, and she still needed to get out of Wilde.
“This is not going to work, Nate,” she whispered, looking up at his lusty dark brown eyes.
His face darkened to a dangerous shade. “You’re overthinking things again, pet. That’s not going to work. If you don’t get out of your head and just feel, I’m going to ditch this romantic crap and get down to business.”
The only word that punctuated itself into the center of her consciousness was “romantic.” She’d never imagined the tough Dom she’d met in her hotel room that night could be romantic. Knowing that he was trying so hard for her melted away any resistance she might have had. “Nate, so this ride to view this place was a kind of date?”
“Let me show you what I mean, pet.” Nate pulled her panties off her. “You’re nice and wet.” She felt her cheeks heat up as he shoved the damp pink fabric to his nose.
As he inhaled deeply, her jaw dropped. Still, it made her feel wanted.
“Damn woman, you smell so good.” His words transformed her shock into a tingly desire.
Charly watched him fold her panties into a nice little package and place them in his jeans’ pocket. Clearly, he had no intention of giving them back to her.
Nate leaned down and rubbed her nipples with his fingers until they were aching and so very taut, and then he swallowed her right nipple while he continued to pinch her left one with his thumb and forefinger. A million hot, shivering sensations ripped through her body.
When his lips hit hers, she felt her clit begin to throb and ache. His kiss was so demanding, so urgent, that passion rose like a flame inside her. Turned on and lost to her desires, Charly let go of all her worries and just felt the deliciousness of his touch. She may regret it later, but for now, she had to have him.
When Nate ended their kiss, his fixed stare made her hot with an aching want and an uncontrollable passion that could only be answered with the completeness of his filling her body.
“Please, Nate. I need you inside me.”
“Not yet, pet. I have many pleasures to give you before we reach your orgasm.” As his hands moved down her sides to the curves in her waist, he grinned wickedly. “I’m not stopping until you are completely crazed and begging for more.”
Charly wiggled up into him, trying to tease him into action. “You know, it isn’t fair that I’m naked and you’re still wearing all your clothes.”
“I never said this was going to be fair, pet.” He kissed both her breasts lightly.
The touches of his lips were so soft on her nipples. She craved more and arched her back so that her chest pressed up into his mouth. Nate growled and began sucking on her nipples ferociously, which only made her want him more desperately than ever.
Charly thrashed under him as his tongue lapped at her nipples. Her hands clawed at his back, and her legs wrapped around him.
Nate moved down her body, kissing along the way. He reached around until he held her by the ankles. Then he parted her legs wide, moving his hands from her calves to her thighs until his fingers were only inches from where she really wanted his touch, his kiss, and more.
“Your skin is so smooth.” He feathered his lips on the inside of her thigh, increasing the desire deep in her clenching pussy.
She wanted so bad to touch his cock, imagining how it would feel inside her body. Since she couldn’t begin to reach him in their current tangling, she grabbed his head and pushed it down on her weeping sex. He obliged her by clamping her hard clit between his teeth, sending her to a delirious, steamy state. She didn’t want this to end, but as her approaching orgasm began to throb deep inside her body, she screamed with the ultimate pleasure of release.
Nate’s head came up from between her legs. He moved up her body and pulled her close as she continued to shiver from the immense climax he’d given her. His light kisses melted her heart, and her former wish to escape Wilde seemed to be fading in his embrace. She couldn’t explain the longing that had been born this night with Nate, but fantasy or not, she definitely was dreaming of what it would be like to stay.
“Sweetheart, I’m going to wrap you in the blanket and gather up all our stuff. Understand?”
She nodded, still swimming in the shudders of her orgasm.
In no time, he had her bundled up in the soft cover, their items stashed away in the saddlebags, and the two horses’ leads tied to his belt. Then he hoisted her up, cradling her entire weight in his arms.
She took a deep breath. “I’m okay now. You can let me down.”
“Not a chance, pet.” He started walking, keeping a tight hold on her.
“Where are you taking me?”
“To the cabin.”
“That’s too far for you to carry me.”
He smiled. “You do realize what I do for a living? Carrying your tiny body is like a walk in the park for me.”
“Thank you, Nate.” She leaned into his muscled frame and closed her eyes, relishing in being held by him. God, he was built like a thick wall of bricks.
“For what, sweetheart?”
“For calling me tiny.”
He didn’t say another word the rest of the way, and his breathing never became labored. How strong was he? Very much, obviously.
“Open your eyes, pet.”
She obeyed. They were already at the log cabin. It was even more beautiful close up.
The rustic flavor was evident, but it also had a sweet style that appealed to her. Keeping her lifted in his arms, Nate tied the horses to the hitching post at the front of the porch. How he could manage that wasn’t apparent to her, but he did and with ease.
He carried her into the little house, which was just as charming inside as it was on the outside. But the only thing she could focus on was the simple king-sized bed, with its soft blue comforter and plush pillows. It was so inviting, and she felt tingles grow in her body at the thought of being next to Nate.
Chapter Four
Nate placed Charly on the bed. He gazed into her sea blue eyes, causing his dick to harden. He wanted to drive her wild, so he began to unbutton his shirt slowly and sent her a lusty wink.
Her eyes widened. She seemed mesmerized by his private show for her, which fueled his own desire to possess her completely. He continued teasingly removing each article of clothing. When she absentmindedly licked her lips, his hunger went into overdrive.
Hoping to torment Charly more, he asked, “You like what you see, pet?”
As he pulled down his jeans, she gasped.
Her eyes drifted down to his white briefs. Her cheeks got bright red as she looked directly at the outline of his cock. Unable to control his urges any longer, he ripped off his underwear and went directly to her sweet pussy. He sucked and bit at her tender flesh and was thrilled when she started panting. Her juices tasted so sweet and warm. Her trembling thighs on his cheeks told him that his tongue bath was working on Charly just like he wanted. Hoping to drive her even madder with desire, he worked over her swollen folds with his fingers and mouth.
“Oh, God,” she moaned, which released the beast inside him.
He captured her taut clit between his teeth, delivering a bit of pressure.
She screamed.
Then, before he could stop her, Charly sat up and twisted around so she was laying the opposite direction. Her hands found his cock and she pulled him into her mouth, sucking wildly. The frenzy of their sixty-nine joined them in unexplainable hot madness. He’d never felt such passion, ever. The more he lapped up her cream, the harder she sucked. This flurry went on and on until it was impossible for him to contain himself any longer.
He buried his face completely into her cunt, which was spasming from her intense org
asm. As she frantically sucked on his cock, Nate knew now was the time to feel her pussy tighten around his cock. He flipped around and entered her body. As he moved deeper into her sweet flesh, he relished the feel of her insides clenching and unclenching tightly on his dick.
“O–Oh…yes…” Her words were the final straw that sent him over the edge.
Every muscle tightened as he shoved his cock in for one final plunge deep into her pussy. He came hard and intense inside the woman who had snared him completely. He pulled her in tight and held her close as sweet exhaustion filled him with joy. Savoring the physical connection to Charly, he kissed her hair as she continued to shiver in his arms.
But his feelings for her were more than physical. She had captured his heart. He could never let her go. She was his. Convincing her of that fact wasn’t going to be easy, but he would do whatever it took to make sure she understood.

“How many nights will you be in town, Mr. Jones?” The guy behind the counter looked like he’d just stepped off the set of a Western movie.
“I’ll need the room for a couple of nights only.”
The man typed on the keyboard and then passed him a key. “You’re on the first floor in the John Wayne suite, Mr. Jones. If you go down the hallway to your right, it is the fourth door on the left.”
“Perfect.”
“I hope you enjoy your stay at the Hotel Cactus, Mr. Jones.”
He thought about asking the guy about the woman’s whereabouts, but didn’t. Though he’d been sweating bullets ever since arriving in the tiny town, there still was plenty of time to find Charly Wynn for their upcoming meeting.
* * * *
Charly took another bite of her bagel, which Carlotta had graciously ordered for her after learning it was one of her favorite breakfast choices. She appreciated the woman for the gesture.
She looked over at Nate, who was finishing off his mouthwatering stack of King Cakes. God, we didn’t use a condom. What if I’m pregnant?
As he put the fork down on the plate, he looked up at her with his dark brown eyes. “I don’t know how you can eat that, pet.”
“I would love to eat those every morning, but my bottom loves them, too.” She wondered how to bring up the lack of protection with him.
He reached over and grabbed her hand. “Don’t you worry your pretty little head about your body. I love to touch all your curves and especially your gorgeous, sweet ass.”
“Nate, you got a second?” someone from the other side of the diner called.
Charly turned and saw a table of cowboys.
“Sweetheart, give me a minute. Let me find out what these guys want.”
“Okay.”
As he headed over to the men, she spotted Harry, the mechanic from Elko, walking into the diner. Hoping he’d brought the money for her car, she smiled and waved him over.
He nodded and headed to her table. “Hey, Charly. Everything going okay with you?”
“Not exactly, Harry. I thought you were going to bring me my money the other day.”
He frowned and sat down. “Heath’s got your money. I figured he would’ve already given it to you by now.”
Heath? “Why the hell does he have it? I thought this was between me and you.”
“He and Drake came to Elko the other night and asked for it. Heath said he was going to give it to you himself.”
Charly thought there was more to what Harry knew than he was sharing.
Nate stepped up to the table. “Hey, Harry. What are you doing in Wilde?”
The mechanic uttered in response, “I was kind of looking for Michael.”
Charly snapped, “Sorry to interrupt, but I must find Heath right now.” Though she was curious why Harry wanted to meet up with Michael, she let it go. There were much bigger issues she had to deal with at the moment. “Nate, do you know where Heath is?”
“Not for certain, pet.” His eyebrows shot up. “You okay?”
“Just peachy!” She pulled out her cell and dialed Heath’s number. Voice mail, damn it. “Do you have any idea where he might be at this hour?”
“A couple. What’s going on?” Nate asked.
“He’s got something of mine, and I want it now.” She stood up, fuming inside. “I don’t like being tricked.”
Nate put his arm around her. “Neither do I, but I know what my brother is capable of, sweetheart. Let’s go find him.”
* * * *
Nate drove his truck through the cattle guard of the southeast section of his parents’ land. He looked over at Charly’s hands, which were curled into fists so tight that there was no color left in them.
She had been getting more and more pissed off during this trip. Each stop at Heath’s normal haunts with no sign of him had clearly fueled her agitation. Now, she obviously was furious.
Nate couldn’t blame her, knowing what a fucking manipulator Heath could be.
What in the hell has he done to her? Once he found out, his brother might find himself stretched out on the ground with several broken bones. He’d thought about asking Charly what had happened, but given her current state, he knew it was best to let her be.
As they rounded the corner, he spotted Heath riding Yoda. Charly must’ve seen him, too, because she cursed under her breath.
The moment Nate parked the truck, she jumped out of the cab, and he followed.
“Where’s my money, asshole?” she demanded.
Heath dismounted and said, “Sweetheart, hold on a second. I couldn’t find you.”
“What the fuck have you done, Heath?” Rage rolled through Nate.
“This has nothing to do with you,” Charly said. “Stay out of it, Nate.” Then she turned to Heath. “Couldn’t find me? Bullshit. I spoke with Harry. You already had the money before you and I were together with Drake and Dax the other night. Why in the hell didn’t you give it to me then?”
“You’re right. I did have the money then.” He paused, and then said, “I was so caught up in the moment, I forgot.”
Nate knew his brother was lying, but didn’t know why. “What money are you talking about?”
Again, Charly snapped. “I told you to stay out of it, but if you must know, it’s the money that Harry paid for my car so I can get the hell away from you guys.”
Fuck. She’s ready to bolt.
It all made sense now to Nate. Heath’s powers of manipulation did come in handy. Clearly, he’d kept her money to stop her from leaving Wilde. “Bro, the jig is up. You might as well stop lying to her.”
Heath’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”
“Yes. I want to know, too.” Her tone told Nate that she was about to crack.
“Tell her why you kept the money, Heath.”
He shrugged. “I couldn’t bear for you to leave. You know how much I love you.” Then he sighed. “I knew that if I handed you the money, you would be gone.”
Charly closed her eyes and shook her head. “I’m so confused. I can understand why you did what you did, but it doesn’t change anything, Heath. I must leave…or my heart will be ripped apart.”
Nate heard the panic and fear in her voice. He knew that if he didn’t act now, Charly would definitely leave and never come back.
“Now what do we do, Nate?” Heath asked, obviously confused. “She knows, and it didn’t change a thing.”
Nate looked at both of them. “Bro, it’s time we do things my way.”
Chapter Five
Ever since arriving at The Masters’ Chambers, Charly couldn’t stop trembling. She stood between Nate and Heath in the dressing room at the sex club.
“Sit, pet,” Nate commanded, pointing to one of the long benches in the space.
She obeyed.
Without a word, the two men went to different lockers. They opened them up and gave her a private show. Removing their shirts, they revealed their naked chests, which was so pleasing to her eyes. In no time, they were transformed from cowboys into badass Doms. Wearing only bo
ots, jeans, and leather chaps, Nate and Heath looked so powerfully male.
Nate stepped in front of her and tugged on her locks, making her tingle inside. “You will do what we say, every word. Understand, sub?”
Shivering, she said, “Yes, Sir.”
“Let’s get her out of these clothes, Heath.”
“My pleasure, bro.” Heath moved behind her and cupped her ass.
The two cowboys removed her shoes, jeans, and top, leaving her with only her bra and panties.
Nate walked over to a shelf with tons of sandals. “Here’s your size.” He took a pair of them and walked over to her.
“I don’t want to wear a stranger’s sandals.”
He reached out and pinched her right nipple through her bra with his free hand. “You’ll do what I say, when I say it, sub.”
“Yes, Sir.” Every part of her wanted to surrender to this cowboy who oozed confidence and demanded obedience.
Heath leaned in to her ear, and whispered. “The sandals are for everyone. They’re sanitized after every use.”
“You’re spoiling her, bro. She’s got to learn to trust us.”
“I know. But she’s new to this, Nate. Give her time.”
“We don’t have time, buddy. You saw how she was earlier.” Nate handed the sandals to her. “Put these on, sub.”
Wondering what he meant by “we don’t have time” but not daring to ask him, she nodded and obeyed.
Nate pulled her to her feet and looked her up and down like an MRI scan. “You look perfect, pet.”
“I’m glad, Sir.” She looked down at her feet.
He cupped her chin. “Look at me, sub.”
Charly gazed at him and saw the corners of his mouth curl up slightly, making her warm inside.
“Here are the rules, pet. Heath and I are the only people in your world right now. We’re going to walk through the club, and you’re going to see lots of people milling around. You will not talk to any of them. You will not look at any of them. Understand?”
Hearing what he expected of her was easing her worry, and she was more than willing to comply. “Yes, Sir.”
