Shoulda Been a Cowboy (Rough Riders #7)(69)

Holy f*cking Christ. His mind blanked. His whole body shook.


Domini kept kissing and licking her way up his torso.


He cracked open his eyes. “Come here.”


She straddled his pelvis.


“Huh-uh. Knees on either side of my head and put that pretty * on my face.”


“You still going with the ‘new’ theme?”


“Yep.” He used his heel to drag himself further down the bed. “Hands on the headboard.”


“Cam. I don’t know about this—oh!”


He sucked her clitoris and then rubbed his face on her inner thighs. “Mmm. Juicy. You are sopping wet, princess. And lucky for you, I’m parched.” He opened her up with his fingers and burrowed his tongue in as far as he could reach. He speared into her over and over. Until her scent coated his face. Until her taste glazed his lips and coated his tongue and flowed down the back of his throat. He basked in her, bathed in her, and lost himself in bringing her—his wife—pleasure.


When Domini was grinding her wet sex down and her whimpering moans escalated, he sucked her clit hard and she came all over his face.


Then he did it again.


After her last climax, she collapsed on the bed. After a bit she snuggled into him on his left side, her right knee below his stump, her toes drifting up and down his calf. Domini sighed dreamily and fell asleep in his arms.


Cam kissed the top of her head and mouthed, “I love you,” before he joined his wife in dreamland.


Chapter Eighteen


Gracie started barking. “Sorry, girl, you’re gonna have to go out back for a bit.”


She whined.


“At least he doesn’t have a dog he’s bringing to invade your space.”


Invade your space. Was that how Cam felt? Domini didn’t want to start the day out on a bad note, so she said nothing and went out to meet Anton.


After Cord McKay’s pickup parked, Ky jumped out of the passenger side, followed by Anton. The relief on Anton’s face when he saw Domini brought a smile. “Hey guys.”


Anton hustled up the steps and hugged her. Hard.


“Did you have fun last night?” she asked around the lump in her throat.


“It was okay.” The door opened behind them and Gracie was jumping and yipping around Anton.


Domini froze. “Cam?”


“Gracie! Settle down. Sit.”


“Aw, she’s not hurting me,” Anton said, blocking Domini from the dog. He crouched down and stroked her head. “She’s pretty. But Gracie is a kinda weird name.”


Gracie allowed Anton to pet her.


Kyler leapt onto the deck beside them. “Ain’t Gracie great? I wish she wasn’t fixed so she and Rascal could have puppies.”


“Puppies would be cool.”


Cord ambled up and smiled. “Congrats to both of you.”


“Thanks. Please tell AJ the dinner was so thoughtful and very delicious.”


“Will do.” He focused on Cam. “How are you?”


“Never better. You?”


Cord smiled. “I recognize that look.”


Domini blushed.


“Are you loadin’ up the stuff from Domini’s apartment today?”


“Hadn’t thought about it, but I guess I should or else Keely’ll throw it out the window in her desperation to move outta Ma and Dad’s place.”


“True. That’s why me’n Colby are offerin’ to drag stuff up and down the stairs for you.”


Cam’s smile flattened. “Nah, that’s okay, I can get it.”


“You sure? It won’t take—”


“I said I can handle it,” Cam said tersely.


Silence.


Cord pushed his hat back and stared daggers at Cam. “Ky, why don’t you show Anton where Cam keeps the four-wheelers.”


“Okay.” Ky and Anton rounded the deck toward the garage. Gracie whined on the deck.


Anton stopped and looked at Cam. “Can she come with us?”


“Sure. Say ‘come’ and pat your leg. But if she jumps up on you, bump her aside with your knee and make her sit. I don’t need her knocking me over.”


“Come, Gracie.” Anton slapped his thighs. Gracie took off like a shot, tail wagging.


The air between Cam and Cord was heavy with tension.


“Don’t be stubborn, Cam. Us wantin’ to help you ain’t a reflection of your disabilities. There’s no sense in you fightin’ them stairs when you don’t have to.”


Cam crossed his arms over his chest. “I appreciate the offer.”


“But you’re turnin’ it down flat,” Cord said.


“Yep.


“Goddammit. This is asinine. We all just want—”


“To humiliate the cripple?” Cam snapped. “Hell, why don’t you invite Colt, Kade, Buck, Quinn and Ben too? So everyone in the whole f*ckin’ family knows that I can’t take care of—”
