Josh's Justice, Cowboy Romance (Bad in Boots, Book 4)
Page 17
“I’m thinking that I wished I’d used thread or something equally fragile when I tied that damn string on your finger.”
He sounded so disgruntled, she patted his cheek, then stood and faced him. “There are plenty of activities we can do that’ll eventually wear it out.”
Josh sat up, his gaze hungrily sweeping over her body. “Like sweaty exercise?”
She started backing up toward the bedroom. “That’s one. Then there are showers. Lots of lonnnng showers,” she finished, crooking her finger.
“Lots can only happen if you’re here, Brina.” His expression turned serious, tension setting in his shoulders. “Say you’ll move in with me.”
She loved him, deeply and irrevocably. She wouldn’t want to be apart from him either. When she nodded, Josh bolted off the couch and had scooped her up over his shoulder before she could turn and run.
As he rushed her into the bedroom, Sabrina squealed in delight and smacked at his muscular butt. “Put me down, Josh Kelly.”
“Happy to oblige, ma’am! He dropped her onto the bed and swiftly pulled her hands over her head. Easing down on top of her, he pressed his jean-covered erection against her heated center. “You know, these gorgeous hands of yours seem to be pinned or tied quite often. Be a shame if that string should suddenly snap or get snipped while you’re bound.”
Sabrina sucked in a breath and tugged to free her arms. “You wouldn’t dare.”
His teal gaze glittered with ruthless intent, his fingers squeezing hers tighter. “But I do dare, Brina. I dare all kinds of things, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.”
She shook her head, eyes glistening with emotion. “But not this, Josh. Let it wear off. Please.”
His expression softened and his hold loosened slightly. “It means that much to you?”
She nodded. “Right now the only thing binding us together is our word, not a piece of paper like marriage will. That’s what the string represents to me. I want it to wear out and let if fall off naturally.”
Josh sighed heavily, then lowered his lips to hers. She was surprised when his kiss wasn’t anything like the calm image he’d projected. He captured her lips, thrusting his tongue deep into her mouth, instantly stealing her breath with his aggressiveness.
Squirming under him, she rocked her hips and pressed against him, saying between kisses, “I’m sure we’ll do our best to help it along.”
He moved his warm mouth to her throat, a sinful chuckle rumbling against her skin. “You’ve just issued a challenge. I hope you’re prepared for very little sleep, baby.”
“Josh, that’s not what I meant,” she said between gasps as he nipped at the swell of her breast above her bra.
He lifted his head, eyes churning with emotion. “The string represents a binding commitment. I’m going to show you just how much.” A wicked grin flashed. “It’ll be worn ragged in no time.”

She’s a natural with a point-and-shoot camera, likes to fiddle with graphic design, and, to the relief of her family, strums her guitar to an audience of one.
