“And all this in the midst of an annual event where they trash someone’s property,” Cass murmured to Bert and Mitzi.
“Actually, we thrash it. We don’t trash it.” Evan grinned when he saw Cass jump
in surprise. The chooks squawked madly. She turned to look at him, her cheeks
flushed. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have interrupted girl time.” His gaze roamed her face and
silence descended between them. It wasn’t awkward. It was more like waiting for
something that was inevitable to happen. “How are you settling in?”
“Okay, look, the thing is—”
“What is the ‘thing’?” He needed to talk to Cass. Evan could see she was wrought up. He was glad to see what had happened between them affected her as
well. He couldn’t stop thinking about Cass. If she felt even half as much as he did, he
would be pleased.
“We can’t do that again.”
Wrong answer, lady. “Why not?”
“Because.”
He smiled. She was scared. That was understandable. What was between them
was amazing and the amazing shook people to their foundations and questioned who
they were. “I know we can do it again. It was good, actually great. I feel more alive
than I have in ages. That can’t be a bad thing. I don’t believe you could say it was
wrong.”
“It was—” Cass hesitated for a moment. “— was good.”
“Just good?” Evan had experienced ‘good’ before. It was adequate in scratching
itches and soothing urges. What he enjoyed with Cass was beyond that.
Cass sighed and threw the last of the bread on the ground. “Okay, it was great.”
Evan raised his eyebrows. He needed more. It was up to Cass to admit it. She
licked her lips. Silence lay between them. Evan could wait. She was worth it.
“Okay!” She threw her hands up in the air in surrender. “It was fucking amazing
and I’ve never felt like that before but—”
He waggled finger at her. “But nothing. We are fucking amazing together and I
want—”
“Wait—stop.” She put her hand on his chest to hold him back. “What we did—
what happened with us, well, the thing is it doesn’t happen like that normally for me.
I’ve never—”
“Had sex?” Evan smiled at her. Why is she so wrought up? I’m going to have to
do something to relax her.
Cass slapped his chest. “No, that’s obviously not it. What I’m trying to say is—”
Again she hesitated. Evan put his hand over hers and kept it against his chest.
“You’re blushing. Why?”
“I’ve never—”
“Yes?” It would be so easy to lean in and kiss her.
“I’ve never had anyone, er, well, come inside me.”
“Really?” Evan felt ridiculously pleased. There had been many women in his life
but none that it felt right enough to love with the very essence of him as a man.
“Yeah, really.”
That she looked shy was cute. The tough talking redhead he met at the airport
was just that. Tough talk but reality was she was soft and sweet on the inside. I want
to eat her up. “And you liked it?” While it was not planned, he liked the feel of his
seed rushing up inside her. Maybe it was old fashioned but it gave him a feeling of
their belonging together.
“Yes.”
“Was it because it was forbidden? Naughty?” Evan pulled her closer to him. He
wanted to feel those lush curves against him once more. “Did it feel like an act of
possession?” His words were met by a breathless ‘yes’ from Cass. He felt his dick
tighten with need.
“We barely know each other.”
Evan wanted to say he felt like he had known her forever but he also understood
she was gun shy from the last man in her life. What an idiot he had been to pass this
lady up.
“I don’t want to get involved with anyone so soon let alone be—” she stopped as
if trying to find the right words.
“—be possessed by them?” Cass nodded but she didn’t pull away. That indicated
to Evan that what she was feeling was akin to him. “It’s not a bad thing is it?”
“No,” Cass responded. “I’m not looking for happily ever after.”
Evan was. “Really?”
“Yes.”
“How come?” And how do I change that? Maybe it was crazy but he had never
felt this way before about anyone and not pursuing it was unthinkable to him.
“I don’t think some people can do happily ever after all that well.”
“Like you?”
Cass shrugged. “Yes.”
I am going to have to find her ex and have a man to man talk with that idiot.
Evan could see both the need and uncertainty in her eyes. “Okay, let’s not worry
about forever. Let’s just think of for now and do what makes us happy.”
“I don’t know—”
That it wasn’t a flat out ‘no’ gave him hope. “I’ll promise nothing about the
future if that makes you more comfortable. We’ll do what we feel is right and what
we want to in the here and now and worry about nothing else.”
“Really?”
No. He wanted more but could lie in the here and now to get Cass to relax. “Yes.”
She looked uncertain. “Just sex?”
It was odd to hear that coming from a woman but he understood. “Yep. Good, old
dirty sex with no strings attached.”
“I dunno…”
“Yeah, you do. How long’s your lunch break?” Not that it mattered. He knew Flo
and Jo were flexible employers with a lot of life experience about love and lust and
what people would do to be together despite all odds.
“I have another twenty minutes but—”
He enclosed her hand in his and pulled on her arm. “Let’s go.”
“Now?”
“Yep.” He could think of nothing better than his body on hers for lunch.
There was something so wild and desperate about this that Cass willingly let
Evan pull her along. “Where are we going?’ They weren’t headed back inside the
hotel. “Aren’t we going to—” Do I have it wrong? Aren’t we going to have sex? A
week ago if someone had told Cass this would happen she would have laughed her ass
off and said no way.
“The barn.”
“Sex in the barn?” Like animals? She shivered at the thought.
“Why not?” He used his free hand to yank open the door to the old wooden barn.
It held the car Flo and Jo used for the business, supplies of non perishable food,
gardening equipment and several ladders. Evan kicked the door shut behind them.
Cass looked around her. Where were they supposed to do it? She’d picture maybe
sweet smelling hay or something. All she could see was equipment and machinery.
“But what if—”
“If someone sees us?” Evan stopped in front of the car.
“Yes.” The thought both terrified and thrilled her. Embarrassment versus an
orgasm. No brainer that one.
Evan pushed her gently back against the hood of the car. “Would you like that?
Me up inside you and someone seeing how much you wanted it?”
Yes. She wanted that. Hard, hot, filling heat that made her mindless to anything
else but Evan and his dick. And if someone saw how dirty she was? Oh boy.
“Evan—”
“Pull your shorts down.”
Cas
s hesitated.
“I want to fuck you so do it now.”
The way he said it made her legs shake. Her fingers moved down the snap of her
shorts. The fabric dropped to the ground.
“Panties next. Do it.”
Cass did as she was told. The scrap of plain white cotton fell around her ankles.
She kicked it away. What did he plan to do now? She didn’t have long to wait to find
out. Evan dropped to his knees before her. His mouth was in line with her pussy. She
looked down into his eyes. The lust she saw made her shiver. His hands ran up the
back of her legs until they stopped, cupping her ass. Oh god, he’s not going to—
Evan licked the deep, cleft between her legs. Cass’s legs immediately widened in
response. No one had ever tasted her there. She had wanted them to but no one had.
Her fingers wound into the thickness of his hair, holding him close as he licked
and sucked at her clit. It was hard to stand still. Her legs were wobbly. If he hadn’t
had such a firm grasp on her ass, she would have fallen. “Oh, Evan,” she moaned as
he stuck his tongue inside her vagina, thrusting in and out as he would his dick.
“Please…”
He stopped, removed his tongue and looked up at her. One hand came around
from her ass and played with her clit. “What do you need, Cassie?”
“I need—” her voice was low and breathless. “—you. Inside me. Please.”
Evan smiled up at her. “Why?”
She looked at him in surprise. “Why? Are you insane? When I come, I want it to
be with you buried deep in me. I need dick. I need you.”
Evan stood up straight away, an evident bulge in his jeans. Cass dropped her
hand down to fondle it. “Don’t.”
She was confused. “Why not?” Wasn’t that what they both wanted? “Evan—”
“I want to come inside you again.” His hand reached for hers, holding them tight
in his. “May I?”
That he asked her was sweet and hot. “Yes. Please.”
“Turn around.”
Cass was confused. “We’re not going to—”
“Fuck? Oh yeah.” His hands dropped to her hips. “Turn around.”
“Oh…” Then she understood. The excitement level roared up to fever pitch. He
was going to fuck her from behind. “Hurry.”
He chuckled and unzipped her jeans. “Why?” the denim dropped to the ground.
Hard dick pushed at his underwear. The Y-fronts followed the denim. Evan pressed
his body against hers. “Why? Are you worried about going back to work late?”
“Work?” Oh yeah…right… that. “I want you in me now.” This was met with a
grunt of amusement and a slap on her ass.
Evan leaned her over the hood further. She was totally exposed to anything he
wanted to do to her.
“You’re beautiful.”
He made her feel so. She felt the head of his dick push into the warm, slick
wetness of her cunt. Cass pushed back against Evan. She had never felt so desperate
and needy to be filled. But then this was Evan and no other man had ever felt like this.
She gasped as he slid into the hilt of her.
Evan’s body covered hers. He leaned in and whispered into her ear. “You make
me feel so out of control.” His dick started to push in and out of her in long, deep
strokes.
Cass groaned, liking the knowledge that she wasn’t the only desperate one. “I
want you to come inside me.” To hell with political correctness. She knew what she
wanted.
“Are you sure?” His thrusts started to get harder.
Oh god, that felt so good. “Yes, I liked it.” Her body was bouncing on the car
with the driving force buried with her.
“Really?” Evan asked momentarily stopping to slap her ass.
She squealed at the sensation that created inside her. It jerked her clit against the
metal and she whimper at the sensation. Do it again! Do it again! “ I loved feeling
you shoot up inside me.”
“It’ll only ever be me,” Evan growled, his pace quickening.
“Yes.” A week ago she would have scoffed at the possessive tone in his voice
and called it masculine bullshit. But now? She knew she was his. She felt it.
He rode her hard for another five minutes. Her back was aching and her thighs
were wobbly. Her breasts were squashed hard against metal and she couldn’t move.
But damn I love it. When he shuddered against her body and came inside her, Cass
sighed in contentment. This was what sex was about. It wasn’t prissy and clean. It was
hard and dirty leaving your body feeling used, but in a good way. Cass could feel his
cum running down between her inner thighs. Evan pulled out from her body. “Stay.”
“I’ll come back.” He reached down and grabbed his jeans. He searched through
one pocket and pulled out his mobile phone. “I want to remember this forever.”
Cass stiffened when she heard the camera click several times. What am I doing? I
just met this man yet I’m naked, dripping with his seed and letting him take pictures.
Evan pulled Cass back against him, turning her around, mobile phone in one hand
as he lay her down on the bonnet. She opened her legs automatically to him. He slid
inside her. He was still half erect and the slick wetness of his sliding into her was like
a completion of what they had just done.
“Wanna see?” He turned the mobile phone towards her.
She did but she didn’t. Herself naked on film was not on her list of things to do.
But she looked at the small screen. Her legs were spread wide and semen dripping
down her inner thighs. It was hot and sexy. Cass was surprised. “Do I really look like
that?”
“Well loved, beautiful and satisfied? Yes.” He slipped out from inside her.
Cass was speechless for a moment. Loved Beautiful? Wow. “I, er, guess I should
clean up and stuff. She looked around for her shorts.
Evan bent down and picked them up. “We’ll go around the back so no one sees
us.”
At the bathroom door, Cass placed her hand on his chest. “No, just me.” The
temptation of a wet, naked Evan was too much. She still had a job to do.
“Can’t trust yourself?” He grinned down at her.
“No. I can’t and I owe it to Flo and Jo to do some actual work.” But oh, I feel
good.
“Tonight? May I?”
The ‘May I’ was sweet. “Yes.”
Evan leaned in and kissed her softly. “See ya.”
“You!” Adele spat her as Cass came out of the shower, clean and wrapped in a
towel. Her whole body tingled with the touch of Evan. She looked into the crazy eyes
of the other woman. “What?”
“You are after my man!”
“Don’t be insane.” Or maybe it was too late for Adele.
She tossed her hair. “I see the way he looks at you.”
Thank god she hadn’t seen the way Evan just fucked me. “ You’re crazy.”
“Stay away from him?”
“Or, what?” Cass didn’t have time for the amateur dramatic hour with Adele.
“You do not want to know what I can do.”
Cass rolled her eyes. “Whatever.”
“I mean it.” Adele forked two fingers on her right hand and pointed to her own
eyes then to Cass’s and back again.
Flo walked in at that moment and saw it. “You got work to do Adele?” The
/>
woman left in a loud huff. “You know she just gave you the eye. Her whole family
wanders around giving people the eye. It’s like a curse.”
“She’s nuts.”
“Yeah, most people are.” Flo looked her up and down. “What’s the deal with you
and Evan?”
“Just, er, sex.” Probably. It’s not like anything else is going to happen…perhaps.
Cass was confused. She knew sex did not make a relationship. But damn, it was good.
“Uh-huh.”
Cass arched one brow at the other woman. “What ‘uh-huh’?”
“Nothing.” Flo shrugged.
“I’m not going to fall in love with him or anything.” I think. No—I can’t.
“Sure, sure.”
“Flo, I’m bad at love. I suck at it. I have a dumb heart. I fall for the wrong people.
I didn’t plan to do anything this stupid this fast with anyone.”
“Does it feel good?”
So good. “Yes.”
“Then how is it stupid?”
“I'm not staying.” Even as she said it, Cass wondered why that sounded wrong to
her? After-sex bliss disrupting her brain waves? Hmmm…
“How do you know that?”
“Because I didn’t plan to stay.”
Flo smiled. “Stuff happens like that, even to the dumb at heart.”
Chapter Seven
“Well, hello my pretty,” crooned a deep, husky voice.
Cass stopped in her tracks in the hall and looked up at the man blocking her path
between her room and reception at the hotel. He had curly, brown hair and big shoulders. Side stepping him was impossible without touching him and that wasn’t
something she wanted to do. Some people gave off dangerous vibes. He was one of
them. “Excuse me.”
“Any time, any place, anything you want from me I will give.”
“Uh-huh.” He was one of those men who thought he was god’s gift to
womankind and were yet to work out how unattractive that was.
He held out his hand “Murdo McConnichie at your service.”
So, this was Evan’s cousin. She wondered when they would meet. The hand that
engulfed hers was strong and calloused and holding on just a bit too long. “You need
to let go.”
“If I had seen you first you would never have looked at my cousin.”
Cass raised her brows and yanked her hand from his. “Well, too bad, so sad for
you.”
He grinned at her. “Say the word and I could be yours.”
