Cowgirl Up and Ride (Rough Riders #3)(75)

AJ dropped to the rug, once again that slight edge of fear—that feeling of the unknown heightened her excitement.


Cord said, “Move your knees out wider.”


She felt the rug scraping her kneecaps as she followed his command and he knelt behind her.


Then his tongue bathed the burning marks on each cheek. She whimpered when that wicked tongue traced the crack of her ass down to her tailbone and back up.


The blunt head of his cock connected with her * briefly before Cord impaled it in one hard stroke.


“Cord—”


He smacked her ass twice. He didn’t speak. He just gripped her hips and methodically f*cked her. Each stroke equal. No variation. Slow and shallow.


Sweat poured from her. From him. Her body shook. His body shook. She couldn’t stand it because it felt so damn good, he was purposely holding them both off from orgasm as long as possible. AJ knew if he deepened or lengthened the thrusts it’d send them both soaring.


Finally he said gruffly, “I’m too far gone to be gentle, baby doll.”


Cord increased his pace to that of a runaway jackhammer, she splintered into a thousand shards. So did he.


When he removed the blindfold would she see the crown of her head lying on the rug? The man had positively blown her top.


Cord grunted. He stretched his chest to her sweaty back, caging her in his arms. He sank his teeth into her nape, sending goose bumps in a wave across her skin.


She sighed in complete contentment.


“Enough? Or do you wanna go for a couple more and see if you end up in the penalty box?”


“What’s the penalty box?”


He whispered, “The hot tub.”


Ooh. That could be interesting. “But—”


“That’s one,” he warned.


“I really don’t think it’s fair you get to—”


“That’s ten, wanna keep goin’?”


AJ stayed quiet.


Then Cord helped her to her feet. He removed the blindfold and kissed her with exquisite tenderness.


“Are we done playing games?”


“I figured we were, why?”


AJ casually murmured, “Have I ever told you how long I can hold my breath under water?”


Stunned silence.


“But if we’re done…” She shrugged and spun on her heel.


Cord scooped her up and headed for the hot tub on the deck. “Oh we ain’t done, baby doll, not by half.” He bit her earlobe. “And that’s another five.”


Chapter Twenty


“Your mom looks good, AJ. Better than I expected.”


“Thanks, Macie. It was sweet of you to make her lunch. Fancier than she gets from me, that’s for sure.”


Macie waved her off. “All ingredients you had on hand, no biggie. How long’s it take to get to town again?”


“Thirty minutes. So, what’s the big secret? What are you looking at in Sundance?”


“Dewey’s Delish Dish in the Sandstone building.”


AJ turned slightly to look at Macie. “You quitting the Last Chance Diner?”


“God no. I swear Velma would hunt me down and kill me. We’re expanding.


Velma’s interested in taking over Dewey’s place. He’s getting ready to retire, he’s got no one to pass it down to, but he doesn’t want to leave Sundance without a family style restaurant. I’m here to check it out and see how much remodeling we’d have to do before we make a commitment or whether we’d be better off looking for a different location.”
