Jared Noble was by no means a small man and he looked like a bear about to put a smaller animal down. He step forward and swung again.
Breen caught his hand and stopped it in mid slam.
Victoria clasped her hands over her mouth.
Breen leaned forward and spoke low, “Because you are Victoria’s father. I will not fight you.”
Jared looked into his eyes as he let out a roar and pulled his other arm back.
“DADDY!” Victoria shouted.
He swung his steel like gaze over to her.
“You need to step away, please Daddy. This is my business.”
He blinked his eyes at her. “You can’t be serious!”
Nodding her head, she sighed. “I will kiss who I want and date who I want.”
He pulled his hand away from Breen’s grasp. “Mmmph!” he let out and marched away.
Victoria released a huge breath. “Could this day getting any worse?”
Breen was staring at her.
Her eyes rose up to meet his. “What?”
“Well, I suppose I need to do this in the right order.”
“In the right order?” she asked.
“Victoria Noble, would you be my date to the Kincade-Monroe wedding?”
Victoria felt a huge leap of happiness as she smiled. “Why, yes. Breen Payson. I surely would like that.”
“Good. Then while on that date, I will then ask to kiss you again.”
She knew her cheeks were pink. What a funny guy he was.
“Then, I also need to tell the truth about somethin’ “ He looked serious now.
UH-oh. Here it comes…the topper to my shitty day. “Yes?”
“I lied before.”
Gulping, she didn’t think she wanted to hear this. No more lies and shenanigans today please?
“Miss Mable told Jinxie to help you. I paid him twenty bucks to take his place.”
Her eyes widened. “That’s—that’s it?”
He nodded.
“Oh! Well, just make sure you play it straight from now on then.”
He tipped his hat. “Yes, Ma’am!”
“And Breen…”
He turned his head to stare at her.
“Don’t think just because it only cost twenty bucks that I’m a cheap date.” She gave him a wink.
“Oh, NEVER!” He removed his hat and bowed his head humbly.
Victoria patted his hand. “Okay then, as long as we both agree I’m worth at least fifty.”
His head shot up as he stared at her.
Her smile grew wide.
They both laughed as they turned and headed to the dining room.
CHAPTER NINE
I will not fall on my face. I am beauty…I am grace.
DAISY
Escorting Daisy into the room, Rand slammed the door behind them. “What in Blazes was that all about?”
Daisy shrugged. “Nuthin’.”
Rand shook his head. “With you, there is always something.”
Sighing, she turned to face him. “Okay! I was storming down the steps, ‘cause I happen to look down at the driveway and saw you and that kangaroo legged blonde hugging the feathers out of each other!”
Rand looked like he was fighting a smile. “So, naturally, you again, thought I was two timing you?”
Daisy stomped her foot. “No! But I darn well know she would move in on you, given half the chance.”
Rand looked stunned. “The woman is young enough to be my daughter.”
Daisy rolled her eyes. “Do not tell me you didn’t see how she has the total hots for you.”
He pulled his head back as if the very idea was preposterous. “She’s a kid!”
Disgusted, Daisy threw her hands up into the air. “The man doesn’t even know how dammed sexy he is!” She looked skyward like she was talking to the heavens.
“No. I suppose I don’t and I’m not in the habit of dating young babies!”
Placing her hands on her hips, in her usual Daze style, she harrumphed. “Well, let me tell you that it wouldn’t matter to a baby like her. You are a delicious, sexy porterhouse steak Rand Monroe. Best served naked and hot!”
He blinked his eyes and a grin showed on his mouth. “No steak sauce required?”
Daisy chuckled as she looped her arms around his neck. “You HAVE the steak sauce already, Leather man.”
He lifted her up and lowered his mouth to hers.
Here it is! Maybe I can seduce him right now, no more waiting.
“Have you picked out a dress yet?” he whispered softly to her lips, instead of giving her a kiss.
Batting her eyes she asked, “Unh?”
“For tomorrow.”
She sighed, knowing he saw right through her seduction game. “Nah, I was gonna head to town right before I saw you and the Lip Bunny.”
Rand laughed and set her away. “Good. Because I got it already.”
Surprised, she stared at him. “YOU?”
He stepped back while looking affronted. “Yes. I have good taste you know?”
Tilting her head, Daisy nodded. “Yeah, you do. Look who you’re marrin’!”
He laughed again. “See? So, I know class, fine ass and the sweetest bubbly when I…” He reached out and swung an arm around her waist to haul her up against his hard chest. “…See it.”
Daisy gasped as he just done shut her up, yet again. The man was an enigma. No wonder no other was ever enough for her.
This time, he did smother her mouth with his and kissed her deeply.
Her toes curled, as she tasted that sweet flavor that was Rand. Oh, god how I love this bigger than life man from down under! She kissed him back until they were both breathless.
Rand finally broke the kiss. “Have I told you that I love you lately?”
Daisy shook her head.
He grinned. “Well, I will. Soon.”
Laughter burst from her lips.
He stepped away as though he didn’t rust himself to be THAT close to her.
Daisy’s eyes shot down to his tightly bulging jeans. “You know. I could…ease your distress.”
Silent, he stared at her lips.
Purposely, she stuck her tongue out and swiped her upper lip, slowly and sweetly. “I have a hankerin’ for some Rand brand steak sauce.”
He looked fierce for a long moment as if he fought the Rand Demon.
She stepped closer and hugged up against his tall hard body.
His entire frame stiffened from his shoulders to his boots.
Daisy unsnapped his jeans as she once again, licked her lips. Slipping her fingers in, she grabbed his stiffening erection. YES! I am gaining ground. Just take it slow Daze. He will give in. He is a man after all. Then you will get some HOT Rand sauce.
Rand grunted and stood very still.
Oh, he is considering it! Her mouth actually watered. It’d been years since she tasted him. Daisy tugged at his hard on and took steps backward toward the bed. Then she turned them around and used her other hand to tug his jeans down. “Let me Rand? Please?” She tugged the jeans far enough, so she could have access. “After all, you’ve done it for me, several times.” She dropped down to her knees and stared up at him with pleading eyes.
Rand sucked his breath in and dropped his fiery sapphire hued gaze to hers.
Oh, come on! Just give in! What man would turn this down?
He reached into his boxers and took out his long hard cock.
Gulping, Daisy squeezed her thighs together. “Ohh…” she let out weakly as she hadn’t counted on her overwhelming reaction.
Rand gave his erection a long, languid stroke as he watched her face.
Her heart was hammering and her juices gushed. She licked her lips unconsciously now. The action was so sexy, so flippin’ hot.
His cobalt gaze remained locked onto hers.
Daisy was panting, like a desperate puppy.
His mouth titled up into a grin as he sat down on the bed.
Leaping
forward with eagerness, she grabbed his throbbing erection. Then slipped her mouth onto him and her mind came alive with the flavor on her tongue. Oh, I remember this from many years ago! Her whole body trembled as she slid her mouth forward and back. I never enjoyed this with most men, but this man was always so yummy.
Rand gripped her hair and sighed.
Yes! I am going to make him come! She pulled her mouth back to stroke him once again. Score for Daisy girl!
Rand took over and pumped himself into her mouth.
Gasping, she almost couldn’t handle his girth and plunge. Come on, Daze you’re not an inexperienced school girl! She tried to control herself as he pumped her mouth with a fierce possession, using her hair to propel the rhythm. Again, his moves were so god dammed hot and sexy. Her body trembled as her pussy clenched. Oh, heaven help me, I’m gonna drop the fuckin’ harp!
Rand reached under and grabbed one of her diamond hard nipples, pinching it as he stroked her mouth with his cock.
Daisy saw stars as she shamelessly came in her panties. Moaning while she tasted every ridge of his cock, she climaxed right then.
Rand stilled as the tip of him sat just at the back of her throat.
It was like another G spot for her or something and she knew she was toast as she kept coming.
Slowly, he pulled himself from her mouth with a POP.
Daisy slumped back to the carpet and lay there panting as she stared up at her leather man.
He willfully pumped his cock once more with his hand as though to show her he was in control of it all.
“Sooo, hot…” she gasped out in a satisfied awe, as she knew for sure, she could never control this man.
Rand smiled, then tucked himself back into his boxers. “Sweet, willful Daze, I didn’t track you down, then come all this way, to plan a wedding, just to come in your mouth. Not that I won’t sometime down the line.” He reached down, picked her up from the floor and tugged her close, so that their lips met. “When I come inside of you for the first time in twenty years…it will not be in your mouth.” He kissed her gently, then pulled his lips away to slap her butt with his large hand.
Her over sensitized body jumped, but all she felt was pure shock. Just a man after all? What the hell was I thinkin’?
He tugged his jeans up, snapped them and headed toward the door. “Slap on some paint and wear something that looks right on you. I don’t wanna see anymore of this plain Jane version of my Daisy woman, okay?”
Stunned at his words, her mouth popped right open.
He turned at the door to lock eyes with her. “I love you just like you are, were and continue to be. So, get dressed for dinner and meet me in the dining room.” He turned away and went out the door.
Daisy Woman blinked her eyes in disbelief. Okay—so much for respectable. “Well, hot fucking damn, hell highwater, sugah ice tea!” she exclaimed in shock.
CHAPTER TEN
Be careful of the words you say, keep them short & sweet…’cause you never know when the day will come when they will be what you’ll have to eat!
KANDA
Kanda was determined to lay still. Lay like roadkill on the side of the road. No man was gonna best her!
Wade climbed onto the bed and moved closer.
Gulping, she tried to show a poker face. Bluff her way through this. The thing about that was…this was no ordinary man. Oh, no. She knew how to pick em all right. She’d already equated him to a god of a man. He could also rope, ride, bulldog and rock her world.
He cuddled up close to her.
Her eyes rounded as he put his arm around her.
She couldn’t help how her skin tingled just from the scent of him. Her body went stiff, as the warmth from him was almost too much.
“Kandy?” he whispered.
Biting her lip at the sweet, purring tone, she refused to answer.
“I just didn’t want you to get hurt.”
Oooh! He didn’t? He was the one who hurt her.
“I mean the way you were riding fool hardy across that range. You could’ve tumbled that horse and went down. I have never been so angry and afraid at the same time.”
She pursed her lips. How dare he? I can ride circles around—Wait he was afraid…FOR ME?
His fingers moved along her chest to play with the lace on her bra.
She sucked in her breath.
Next, his fingers on his other hand grazed along her bare waist.
Oh, he is crafty. A slow torturous seduction. I can see it now. My grave marker: Here lies Kanda Kincade, who died of an eternal orgasm.
“So, I got the idea of tying you up.”
“Hmmph!” Was all she replied.
He chuckled.
None of this is funny! Why is he laughing? He is in SO much trouble.
He smoothed his hand down to her lace underwear and pulled them tight against her clit.
Her body jumped and her button instantly reacted by throbbing deliciously. Oh, holy hell. I’m the one in trouble here!
Wade nuzzled her ear and tugged the panties back and forth. Stroking her button with the tight and now VERY wet material.
Her breathing turned to pants. She couldn’t help it. She tried to clench her thighs together to keep this from progressing. Her panties were soaking wet too.
“It’s just until I think you have calmed down.”
She shook her head back and forth. Fighting her own body and her mind.
“Oh?” He raised a brow. “You aren’t calming down?”
She again bit her lip. Refusing to answer.
Wade leaned in close. “Giving me the silent treatment.” He made a tisking noise
Her eyes narrowed at him.
A grin grew on his face. “Dammit! I thought you were sexy when you were in a good mood. This?” He reached a hand up and passed it over a hardened nipple. “Is like getting to enjoy hot Kandy.”
Her body shuddered as little electric pings rippled through both nipples. OKAY. He can make my body sing and my hormones dance. BUT…He is still in trouble.
His smile grew.
Oh, shit! That smile it is like an aphrodisiac. More juices were bubbling onto her now ruined panties.
Abruptly, Wade stood up from the bed and gazed down at her.
Her body was hella on fire now. Oh, lord. I want him AGAIN. Despite what he did, or didn’t say before about... Her brain went foggy while she gazed up at him with a raw hunger. He had the yummiest body and she remembered the overwhelming orgasms he always gave her. That pleasure tool that drove her wild. Her brow furrowed.
What was I mad about before?
Wade let out an exaggerated sigh. “But…”
BUT? She tried to calm her heated body and silence her now very horny mind. Pay attention Kanda. This will undo you and your point. My point? Dammit all to hades! What was my point?
“I owe you breakfast still.” He turned away and went into the small kitchen.
WHAT? Her mind shouted. He got me all worked up? Teasing my body, then he says he’s gonna feed me? Her eyes widened. Oh, I am in more trouble than I ever knew! He is gonna stretch this out until I break! Holy blazing fuq! Now she knew she HAD to get loose while he was gone.
She tugged and struggled with his rope tying but damn…he was good. After nearly wearing herself out tugging at ropes and cussing to herself, she now lay back and tried to relax as she heard Wade whistling from the small makeshift kitchen area.
Relax, yeah right. Damn man. Whistling like he hadn’t a care in the world! While he has me trussed up like a calf about to be branded.
Yes, she was pissed. After the display of that woman kissing him and sliding against his body. Then to find out he’d been engaged to the tart? OOOh…She felt angry all over again. Nope, she wasn’t gonna back down. He was the one needing to explain himself here, not me!
“Kandy,” Wade interrupted her raging thoughts.
Her eyes darted up.
He grinned and shook his head. “Now, that is a real honest to
goodness pout.” He walked over to the chair next to the bed and sat down. “A cute and adorable pout.” He set the plate of food he carried down on the table. Then stared at her lips. “One…I would love to have wrapped around my…” His voice trailed off as his eyes heated up.
Kanda felt moisture bubbling out of her, hitting her panties. Oh, shit. Her breathing sped up. Dammit, all he has to do is speak a little naughty and stare at me and I fall apart like some dumb Barbie doll puppet!
His hot gaze moved from her lips to her chest. “Looks like you’re breathing a little heavy there, my yummy piece of HOT Kandy.”
She pursed her lips to show him he wasn’t getting to her. When she knew for a fact…he WAS.
At her defiant expression, he tossed his head back with a laugh.
Her eyes grew beady. Oh yes, go ahead and yak it up! She was still fuming and she intended to hold onto the anger.
He kept chuckling. “Well, I am going to feed you breakfast, just like I promised. Then…we will have our…discussion.”
Releasing a huffy breath, Kanda kept her lips pursed.
Wade narrowed his eyes. “Now Kandy girl, don’t be like that.”
Her eyes grew beady as she huffed again and kept her lips tight.
Wade grinned at her animated expressions as he stood up and lowered his zipper.
Kanda froze and stared at his hand as the zipper moved slowly down. Her mouth almost watered, as she knew what lie behind the jean material. Oh…the glorious heights he’d already taken her to with—
He moved the zipper down a bit more.
Her mouth popped open with a surprised expectation.
Suddenly, a heaping spoonful of scrambled eggs was shoved in past her lips. “Ugh…” She tried to chew.
“Yes, that’s it take all of it…” He purred in a sexy voice.
Oh, hell no! He did not just waylay me with scrambled eggs! Swallowing, she couldn’t believe such a trick had worked on her.
Wade smiled while his left hand moved back down to his zipper.
She gulped and tried hard not to look. Just don’t look Kanda, don’t go there with this man.
Reaching in through the open zipper, he seemingly grabbed his cock.
Kanda could not believe he was doing this. And dammit, here she was looking!
