Wanting You: A Cowboy Romance (Texas Hill Country Romance Book 2)

by Mae Martini

  He realized the music stopped and he looked into the cute young girl’s eyes. She looked like she was going to cry.

  “What’s wrong?” Jake asked her.

  “Don’t I turn you on? Oh,” she gasped. “Are you gay?”

  “What? No.” Didn’t you feel my hard-on through my jeans? Okay, so it’s not for you, but still.

  “Well then, what is it?”

  “I’m sorry, sweetheart. You’re very beautiful, but I’m thinking about my girlfriend and how much I miss her, is all.” A lie, but he didn’t want to hurt this girl’s feelings.

  “Oh.”

  He got up, dug in his wallet for a twenty dollar bill, handed it to her and said thanks. Then he walked out from the back room, over to his friends and announced he was going back to the hotel. The boys looked at each other, picked up their money that was laid out on the bar, left a tip and then caught up with Jake at the front door.

  “You want to go hit the tables?” Rory asked.

  Cord looked to Jake.

  “Nah, I’m gonna take a walk around then head on up. See you guys later.” He took off without waiting for a reply from his friends.

  He roamed around the lobby and walked into a store or two just to look around. He peeked into the bar he was in the night before and he took a few quick strolls into the casino, all the while keeping an eye out for Gia.

  No luck.

  With a heavy sigh, Jake decided to go on up to bed. As he walked toward the bank of elevators, some girl came up to him and started to flirt with him. He smiled at her and as he picked his head up to look around, he froze. He spotted Gia by one of the elevators and she was watching him.

  The elevator doors opened and she stepped in, and the throng of people waiting followed her.

  Jake practically barreled through the girl and other people to get to the elevator. He made it just as the door was closing. He looked around and saw her in the far corner, staring at him. He locked eyes with hers and they stayed that way, just staring at each other.

  Upon seeing him by the elevators, Gia thought how she was so ready to throw caution to the wind for this guy, but she saw a short blonde walk up to him and he smiled at her. He looked like he was already moving on to another girl. When he got into the elevator and kept his gaze on her, she, to her relief, thought she still had a chance.

  He did, however, look angry and she sensed he wanted to lash out at her if not for the amount of people in the elevator. She couldn’t look away, his piercing blue eyes held her captive.

  Floor by floor, the elevator thinned out. It was just her luck that out of all the people who pressed their floors, hers was going to be the last.

  So, the last three people got out on their floor. Jake and Gia still didn’t take their eyes off each other, nor did they know what the other was thinking. When the door closed, they both made a move toward each other.

  “Why did you-” and before he could get the rest of the sentence out, she threw herself into him and kissed him. It took him less than a moment to get his wits and then he moved her back, pushing her up against the wall of the elevator. His hands caressed her waist and hips as he took command of the kiss she started, plunging his tongue inside her mouth in search of hers. He pressed her tight against the wall and moved his body into hers, spreading her legs with his.

  He tore his mouth away from hers only to plant kisses on her slender neck as he moved a hand to just below her breasts. He heard her soft moan and that was all the encouragement he needed. He moved his hand up to cover a breast.

  She felt his cock grow in his pants and moved her lower body against it.

  His other hand snaked to her ass and he squeezed her to him. If they had had no clothes on she’d be impaled on him already.

  He picked his head up and looked into her eyes, and slowly smiled as he saw the raw passion burning in them. Then he went right back to kissing her lips. He gently bit her lower lip as he let out a guttural sound when her hand moved to the bulge in his pants.

  The elevator door opened on her floor and she took his hand and led him out of the elevator. She walked in front of him, and he put his hands on her hips and pulled her backside into his front and they both walked awkwardly, while laughing, to her door as he nuzzled her neck.

  While she fumbled with her key card, Jake snaked his hands around to her breasts and squeezed them through her blue ribbed tank top.

  Gia let out a moan as she opened the door.

  He ushered her in, threw the door closed, and pushed her up against it.

  She began to work the button and zipper on his jeans as he picked up the hem of her shirt. She removed her hands just long enough for him to fling off her shirt, then she went right back to his jeans.

  He enjoyed watching her blue lacy bra holding in her breasts as she stuck her hands in the back of his jeans and felt up his hard ass.

  He crushed his lower body to her as he brought his mouth to the top of her breasts and licked her fleshy mounds, while his hands worked the back of her bra. It fell down her arms and he took in a breath before he took a hard nipple in his mouth and rolled and licked and tugged it.

  She removed her hands from inside of the back of his jeans to let her bra fall completely away. He picked his head up and she was rewarded with a heated, lustful look as he moved his hands down to her jeans and unzipped, then moved them swiftly down her body. She kicked off her shoes and picked her feet up, one by one, to remove them all together. She flung them with her feet.

  Jake brought a hand to the top of her matching panties and stuck it inside them and zeroed in and applied pressure on her clit, making her jump at the exquisite sensation he caused.

  She struggled, and he helped her bring down his pants along with his boxers and he, too, quickly removed his shoes and stepped out of his jeans, kicking them to the side.

  She gasped when she wrapped her hand around his cock and couldn’t get it all the way around, he was so big.

  He looked down at her hand around him, then into her eyes and let out a moan.

  He needed to be inside of her so he placed two fingers in her to see if she was ready. He smiled at the fact that he even had to question if she was ready or not. She was soaked. He pushed away from her and went to his jeans to pull out his wallet and took out a condom, pausing to smell his fingers, and liking her scent he stuck them in his mouth.

  Neither said a word, all they heard was each other’s breathing.

  Damn, only one condom. With no time to think, he tore it open and sheathed up. He went back to her and kissed her while he held his cock by her opening and rubbed it back and forth along her slit.

  She was going crazy, trying to shove it in her, but he teased her just a little more before he thrust into her.

  Both let out a primal, guttural sound.

  He took her fast against the door and he dropped a hand to caress her smooth thigh as he brought it up and out, while he latched on to one of her nipples and tugged and bit.

  Her hands were on his ass, feeling him move in and out of her.

  They were both gasping with every thrust.

  He needed to get her off before he exploded.

  “What do you need, baby?”

  “Oh… ah…,” was all she said, as she brought one of her hands to her clit and rubbed.

  He knew what she needed then, and he removed her hand and took over with his. So he thrust, rubbed her clit, and bit and tugged her nipple.

  In less than a moment, she went over the edge, taking him with her.

  He took pleasure in hearing her moans as she bucked, and in the feel of her muscles squeezing his cock.

  She got pleasure from hearing his deep, raspy growls as he found it harder to thrust into her tight pussy.

  He slowly pulled out of her and they both had sated grins on their faces as they gasped for air, then Jake brought his lips to hers and kissed her.

  Chapter 4

  “I sell strip steel. I’m a saleswoman for Morgan and Company, a major s
teel company in the country. I work out of the Irvine office in California, but at least two times a month I’m in Austin, Texas. We have a factory there, and then on one of those visits per month I meet with a large client in San Antonio. Usually to appease, and check on our stock. Make sure it’s up to standards and such.”

  Jake asked and she was explaining what she did for a living. They were in bed with his arm around her and her head was on his shoulder, and his fingers absently caressed up and down her arm.

  “What’s it used for?”

  “Cable armor. It’s wrapped around electrical cable, and, this is where I do most of my selling, around oil drilling cables.”

  “Do you do a lot of traveling?” he asked.

  She nodded, and briefly thought about how much she had become disenchanted with it. Some of the businessmen she’d come across were married degenerates. She snickered to herself, some of the businesswomen too.

  “Enough. Mostly Texas. I’ll be in Austin next Friday, but I’m always going to meetings in Florida, San Francisco and New Orleans. I was in Lake Tahoe, Nevada for a meeting last summer. It’s beautiful there.” She paused as they heard loud grunts and moans through the wall.

  They cracked up laughing. “I’m going to hunt down the owner or corporation that owns this hotel and complain about the thin walls,” She said jokingly.

  Jake chuckled and wondered what she’d say if he told her he knew who owned it.

  “So, what do you do, Jake?”

  “I just opened up a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas, with my friend Cord’s, wife. She handles the kitchen and menus and I handle everything else.

  “Oh, I thought you were a cowboy.”

  Jake laughed, “Part time cowboy, darlin’. I help Cord train horses and I help Rory when it’s time for rounding up his cattle for sale, or to move them from one end of his property to the other.

  “Oh.”

  I’ve been running a bed and breakfast since my parents bought one about eleven or twelve years ago and now I have my own. I’m currently working on our website. It’s very frustrating.”

  “What are you trying to achieve with it?”

  “Everything.” He snickered. “But, mostly the layout. Every time I think I have it, I rearrange it. I’m constantly fiddling with it. I’m also frustrated with where it appears on Google. You have to go to the fourth page to see it, and once someone looks for bed and breakfasts, they usually stop after the second page.”

  “My father is good with layouts. He helped me design quite a few websites. I can take a look at it for you if you want, and you know, using SEO techniques, I can get your business on the first page or two of every search engine out there.

  “Really?” His eyes lit up.

  “Really.”

  “Thanks.”

  “How far is Fredericksburg from Austin?”

  “Not far. About an hour and a half west of it.”

  Again, they heard the loud grunts and moans from next door. Both of them paused and listened.

  “You know, I don’t mean to be rude, but I have to tell you, I don’t see the connection with you and your friends,” Jake said.

  “Oh, please, I made a big mistake in coming here with them. Lacy, the platinum blonde, is my neighbor at the townhouse community I live in. It was supposed to be only us, but her friend Lauren wanted to come. I knew I should have pulled out, but it was last minute. I was lucky enough to secure my own room as soon as I found out. I don’t mean to talk bad about anyone but I just don’t like her. She’s with a different guy every night.” She paused and thought about what she had just said. She picked up her head. “Please don’t get the wrong idea. This is out of character for me.” She indicated him and her. “But, um, well, this is Vegas, baby.” She giggled nervously.

  He studied her as he slowly smiled. With his fingers, he brought up her chin and placed a kiss on her mouth.

  “So, what brings you to Las Vegas, Jake?”

  He sighed and picked his upper body up and leaned his head against the backboard, dragging her body up a little while keeping his arm around her. Her head leaned on his shoulder and his body was well aware of her softness, and his nose was well aware of her unique scent which reminded him of the beach. “Girlfriend break-up.” He paused. “I was getting out of control, I guess. So I was told, anyway.” He let out a short laugh.

  “In what way?”

  Only for a moment did he pause. He had just met her and probably would not see her after this trip so with another sigh, he spilled. “I was out every night with a different chick. I mean, I’m single again, so what’s the big deal, right?”

  Gia didn’t show any kind of emotions on the outside, but inside conflict ran amuck. “Right.” She nodded. “Bad break-up?”

  “She dumped me for the guy who almost killed my best friend.”

  “Oh!” She paused. “So you thought to come to Vegas to curb your wild ways?” She giggled.

  “Ha! I never thought of it that way. What brings you here?”

  She let out a little laugh. “Boyfriend break-up.”

  He chuckled. “Bad?”

  She picked her head up and moved away to stare into his eyes, not saying anything, contemplating. Then she nodded her head. “The relationship was, but after he slammed me into the wall and I saw stars, when I got my wits about me, I walked out, and well, I’ve been fine ever since. Huh! I don’t think I have ever admitted how bad it was until now.”

  “Good girl.” Jake’s countenance had changed from relaxed to tense. “That piece of shit. Are you okay?”

  “Yeah, I’m fine.” She gave him a little laugh. “Boy, we know how to pick em.”

  He smiled as he lifted his head from the headboard. Desire took over that smile and slowly, while looking into her eyes, he moved in and kissed her. It was heady and it was sweet.

  When they broke the kiss, he brought her back to him and leaned back with his arm around her shoulder. “Hmmph. And here we are. It’s almost like we were destined to meet.” He lowered his hand from around her shoulder and gently caressed her waist. “You feel so soft.” He brought his other hand to her arm closest to him and tugged her to him as he opened his legs.

  “Hah. Imagine that,” she said as she slid up and over one of his powerful thighs and got comfortable sitting in front of him, aware of the heat coming off his chest, aware of his musky unique male scent that she found exhilarating and very aware of his growing erection at her lower back.

  “Maybe this is something we both need before we are ready to get back into any kind of relationship,” he said while he gently caressed her belly and belly ring.

  Her voice failing her, she nodded and let out a low sexy purr.

  He felt heat coming off of her now, and he turned her face to meet his and got caught up in her hauntingly beautiful and now lustful eyes. He watched her luscious mouth part and felt her warm, sweet breath on his face.

  She placed a palm on the back of his hand and he spread his fingers then gently squeezed her fingers as they both moved in to kiss.

  He let out a moan by her mouth as he moved their hands up to just below the swell of her breast, and he placed his other hand on her neatly trimmed hair and slid a finger over her clit.

  She noted his smoky eyes before she turned back around, and took in a deep breath as she felt the warm liquid of his arousal at her back.

  As he was ready to plunge a finger inside her, they heard a loud rhythmic thumping coming from the adjoining room and once again, they heard the grunts and moans.

  “Come on, get dressed,” he said as he pulled her up and out of bed.

  “Where are we going?”

  He paused to take in her body and he licked his lips. “To my suite. The only grunts and moans I wanna hear are ours.”

  Gia felt heat course through her body. She pulled out a short, black, strapless jersey dress from her suitcase and slipped it on as he threw on his clothes. She pulled out a pair of panties, which he snatched.

&n
bsp; “Hey!”

  “I’ll hold these for now,” he said smirking, as he stuck them in his jeans pocket.

  She shook her head, grinning. He took her hand and began to drag her to the door. She pulled back to pick up her purse and checked for her key card. Then she reached for his hand again.

  In the elevator, Jake pulled out a card and stuck it in the slot on the wall above the numbers. She gave him a dubious look.

  He chuckled, then he pulled her to him and kissed her as his hands roamed her back and butt. He lifted up her dress and kneaded her ass as he pulled her into his hard-on.

  She sighed.

  The elevator door opened and they faced large double doors. He took the same key card and swiped it in the slot on the door. The lock disengaged and he ushered her inside. There was a small lamp on and all Gia could see was the glass wall and the thousands of lights from the strip, beyond it.

  “Wow,” she said as she stepped closer to the windows. She turned around to him and smiled. “Who do you know?”

  “The owner.” He chuckled. “And I will let him know about the thin walls.”

  Gia laughed as he took her hand and walked her to his room.”

  When she stepped inside the bedroom, she was vaguely aware that he locked the door as her gaze was on the two sided wall of windows with the same incredible view outside. She walked to the window and placed a hand on it as she looked around.

  He came up behind her and with one hand, gently pushed aside her hair and he placed his lips on her graceful, slender neck and kissed it. She moved back into him and moaned. He snaked his hands around her waist and brought them up to her breasts and peeled down her dress. He cupped them and with the thumb and forefinger of each hand rolled and pinched her nipples.

  He felt them distend and he growled by her ear, sending a wonderful shiver through her body.

  He removed one hand and she heard him unzip his pants.

  She knew he removed them and then he said he’d be right back.

  He came back with a box of condoms. “Whew! So glad they stock this shit,” he said, chuckling as he opened the package and removed a condom.
