Mountain Man's Bride

by Lauren Wood

  It got worse, considerably worse when Cliff came moseying into the entry room that we were standing in and he was completely bare. I got his attention to help him realize that I wasn’t the only one there and he didn’t even seem to mind.

  “Oh, hey Dante.” His hand went to cup the semi-hard cock swinging between his legs.

  Dante was seething. I could see it and actually feel it from where he stood next to me. It was like heat was emanating off of him at a record rate. I know that he was ready to lose it and even though he had no right or claim on me, I can’t say that I found it the worst thing in the world.

  “Go get some clothes on Cliff.” I shouldn’t have had to have said that out loud, but he seemed to realize that he was naked. Either way, he left and I tried to get my face to stop flaming before I looked up and met Dante’s gaze.

  “Sorry about that Dante. I don’t know what he was thinking.”

  Dante had a tight look on his face and I didn’t like him being upset with me, but at the same time, it wasn’t really something that I plan to happen. I didn’t want them to ever meet after the night I had with Cliff, but especially not with Cliff still in the room with me. It was embarrassing to no end and I didn’t know what to think or what to do in this situation. I really just wanted it to end somehow.

  “You shouldn’t ever apologize for a man Cecelia. You should be with one that doesn’t give you a reason.”

  I just shook my head. I didn’t need this from him. Not while I was feeling like this. “Let’s go get some coffee. My head is killing me and the last thing I want to do is go sell the ranch.”

  “Do you want to tell your boyfriend that you are leaving?”

  I would have, if he hadn’t said it like that. After he said it like that, all I could do was nod and go on with it. I wasn’t going to give Dante the satisfaction and I didn’t like the way he grinned so big. Why did Dante love to bother me so much? It was like he was seriously happy about it all and it just drove me crazy to think about it.

  “So how was it? I can see that he didn’t live up to the hype.”

  “Why do you say that?”

  Dante just grinned and again I hated his mirth for some reason. Why was he so dang happy about everything and what did he mean that he didn’t live up to the hype? I had found Cliff more than adequate.

  “Nothing, sorry I brought it up. I am sure you two had a nice time.”

  “We did, thanks.”

  “Just seems a little small in proportion.”

  I groaned out loud. Was he seriously talking about what I think he was talking about?

  “Dante…”

  “What? It is just an observation. If you can be satisfied with just that, who am I to judge?”

  I just shook my head. Cliff had been adequate, but I had thought the same thing when I had seen it first as well. He was just such a big guy, but that didn’t matter. That sort of thing didn’t matter to me. This is what I told myself anyways.

  “Well I had a great time for your information.”

  “I am sure you did Cece, but if I had a night with you, I would make sure that you couldn’t walk afterwards.”

  I shivered from his words and ignored his gaze for the rest of the time. I mean really, what the heck was I supposed to say to that? Dante just loved to get me hot and bothered and this time as no exception. He was really good at it.
