The Cowboy and the Cougar (The Cougar Chronicles #1)(24)

"Nice, sugar."

"You’re gorgeous, Jack."

He groaned, then lifted her hips and set her on his cock. She inched downward, taking every sweet centimeter of him.

She sighed. So good. "Thought...you wanted me under you."

"This’ll do for now."

"Yes. It. Will."

She sat up and sank down farther, until he was balls deep, and she swore part of his cock was reaching her soul.

She lifted her hips, and then took him even deeper. She started slowly but soon quickened her pace and rode him with an impassioned vengeance, her boobs jiggling, her body throbbing. He grabbed a nipple in his mouth as she rode him. He nipped her, sucked her, and she cried out when her orgasm exploded inside her.

Still she rode, her walls tightening, taking him hard and fast as her convulsions continued.

"You’re so tight, sugar." His voice came in breathless pants. "I’m gonna come now. Take all of me." He grabbed her hips and slammed her down upon his cock. Her sensitive walls felt every pulse of his climax. She caressed his chest, placing her palm over his heart as it beat in time with his release.

She lifted her gaze and met his dark eyes. They burned with passion.

He smiled.

She smiled back.

No words were necessary.

But as she laid her cheek against his chest, his heartbeat thrumming against her ear, her conscience resurfaced, and her eyes misted.

The end was near.





Chapter Eleven


"What are we gonna do today, Daddy?"

Jack tossed the skillet with a flick of his wrist, and the pancake he was frying flipped over perfectly.

"Can you do that with an omelet?" Holly asked, smiling.

"Never tried it."

"My daddy can do anything." Sam beamed proudly, his missing front tooth making his smile all the more loveable.

"I’m sure he can," Holly agreed, then turned to wink at Jack.

He winked back. "Haven’t had too many complaints about my skills."

"You didn’t answer my question," Sam said. "What are we gonna do today?"

"Well, it’s Sunday. How about we get our chores done early and spend the day relaxing with Holly. I owe her a walk around the ranch."

"A walk? Boring!"

"You can stay here with Luisa if a walk doesn’t appeal to you. Holly and I can take Lacy and Max with us. They’ll love it."

"No, I wanna go," Sam said.

"Good," Holly said. "We’d love your company." She meant it. The little boy had wormed his way into her heart in but a day.

"Yep, we sure would, pal." Jack slid the pancake onto Sam’s plate. "You want another, sugar?"

"Are you kidding? I’m stuffed. I shudder to think how much you’re going to have to feed Sam when he hits his teens." She laughed. "You’ll go broke."

"Just like my mom and dad did." Jack let out a chuckle. "Teenage boys are bottomless pits. Don’t I know it." He turned to Sam, who was busily buttering his flapjack. "You stay here with Holly for a few minutes. I need to make a phone call in the office."

"Okay, Daddy."

Holly eyed the boy as he slathered syrup over the pancake, and then dove in. He was a beautiful child. If only....

"What kind of things do you like to do, Sam? Other than ride horses and help your dad."

"Lots of things," he said through a mouthful. "Play games with Luisa and Carlos. Sometimes I get to spend the night at their house. Or at my grandma’s. That’s fun. She makes really good cookies. Chocolate chip are my favorite."

"They’re my favorite, too." Holly smiled.

"Plus, there’s some kids my age who live close to my grandma and she invites them over when I’m there. Derek and Kathleen. They’re twins."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. They’re six, too and it’s fun to play with other kids. There aren’t any who live around here."

"I’m sorry about that. Do you get lonely, Sam?"

"Sometimes. When Daddy’s workin’ all day and Luisa’s busy. One day, I hope I’ll have a little brother. I really want a little brother. I’ve wanted one forever. Daddy says maybe someday. I’ve been waitin’ a long time."

Holly’s throat constricted and her tummy sank to her bowels. Icy fingers crept along her spine. Sam wanted a little brother.

Luisa hurried into the kitchen waving a dust rag. "Off, you two. It’s time for me to clean up in here."

Holly stared at Luisa, and then said in a robotic tone, "Please, let me do it."

"Nonsense, it’s what I’m paid for. You go have a fun day with Jack and Sam."

A fun day with Jack and Sam. Right. The air in the kitchen seemed thick, suffocating.

Little brother? Oh, God.

"Luisa? I need a favor."

Luisa turned from the sink. "What do you need? I’ll help if I can."

"Sam? Can you run along and play for a little while? I need to talk to Luisa."

"Sure thing. See you later." He ambled off, whistling a lively tune.

"What is it?" Luisa asked, concern etched along her brow. "Is something wrong?"
