It may be her only chance to give herself to him, to show him that she loved him. At this moment, it didn’t even matter to her that he may never want her again.
She would be content with having a wonderful memory of the love they would share on this night to carry in her heart forever.
She had been so lost in her own thoughts that she hadn’t realized that his lips had left hers and moved to the opening of her shirt. In a matter of minutes, he had unbuttoned her shirt and snapped the front of her bra open, exposing her breast for his eyes to feast on.
Before she could protest, he quickly reclaimed her mouth in another deep kiss. One hand was on the small of her back to hold her steady while the other caressed her left breast.
When he felt her start to relax again, he kissed a trail down her neck to the swell of her breast. His body was screaming to ravish her, but he continued to move slowly, allowing her to adjust to each knew touch. He did not want to scare her. Love was a beautiful thing and he was going to do his best to make this a positive experience for her.
Loren arched her back encouraging him to take her breast into his mouth. The rosy buds came to life at the urging of his lips as he showered them with wet, warm kisses. Her response was like spreading liquid fire through his veins
Her fingers became entwined in his hair as he moved from one breast to the other teasing her nipples with his tongue. He was slowly building a fire within her very soul with each touch of his hands and every caress of his lips.
Returning his mouth to hers, Sam pushed her shirt and bra down over her shoulders, letting them fall to the floor. The upper half of her body was now completely exposed to his hungry eyes.
He almost expected her to pull away from him, but when she didn’t, he moved his hands to the waist of her jeans and unbuttoned them. He then paused for a moment to give her time to change her mind. God, he was sure hoping that she wouldn’t change her mind.
To his relief, she just stood there looking at him with passion filled eyes that begged him to love her more. He dropped to his knees and pressed his warm mouth to her stomach, smothering it with kisses. At the same time he pulled her pants down over her hips until she stood before him in nothing but her soft pink panties.
Loren had never been this exposed in front of a man before and it surprised her that she did not feel embarrassed or ashamed for Sam to be looking at her and touching her so intimately.
She had been worried that he might think her breast too small or that he would find her inexperience unattractive, but the way he was looking at her now made her feel perfect in every way.
To her surprise, smothering her stomach with light butterfly kisses was only the start of something bigger. Holding her buttocks firmly in both his hands, Sam trailed kisses down to her most intimate spot. Only her cotton panties separated his mouth from her womanhood.
His warm breath teased her even more with each kiss. Her neck was arched back with her hands on his shoulders and her eyes closed, enjoying the soft caresses. In response to what he was doing, her panties had become moist. She felt him slowly push them down her legs until they reached the floor. She now stood totally naked before him.
Her beauty was more than Sam had expected. Upon first arriving at the ranch, he saw Loren as a young, spoiled rich girl. Now standing before him in total nakedness, all he saw was a beautiful, innocent woman.
Before he could change his mind about making love to her, he kissed her soft womanhood, parting the folds with his tongue. He could hear the sharp intake of her breathing as she pushed on his shoulders in an attempt to push him away from her, but he kept a firm hold on her buttocks as he continued to pleasure her with his mouth.
Loren’s squirming continued, but she had stopped trying to push him away. When her mother had explained the birds and the bees to her, she had failed to tell her about this kind of loving shared between a man and a woman. It was the most amazing thing that she had ever experienced in her life. How could the rest to come be any better than this?
A very intense tingling sensation was starting to build within the pit of her stomach. It almost frightened her again, but she was too far gone to stop it now. Sam rocked her back and forth as he made love to her with his mouth, licking and suckling her most sensitive spots.
When she felt for sure that she was to the point of going mad with pleasure, he plunged his warm tongue deep inside her, pushing her over the edge of ecstasy. She rode the waves of pleasure until they faded away, leaving her exhausted
Sam slowly stood to take her limp body into his arms. Loren wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her small frame with ease.
When their eyes met, what she saw in those fiery orbs only confirmed that his entire body was on fire. Even being as inexperienced as she was, she knew that it was a fire that demanded to be fed.
With very little effort he carried her up the stairs and to the bedroom that he had so recently occupied. The room was dark except for the glow of the soft moon light spilling through the window.
Sam gently placed her on the bed, then stepped back admiring her sweet, innocent beauty. The desire that he felt for her at this moment was threatening to consume him
“Love me more Sam.” Her voice was so soft, that he barely even heard the whisper.
“Are you sure?” He felt the need to ask her one more time before he took their lovemaking to the next level, because there would be no turning back after they reached that point.
“Yes, I want this more than ever,” came her soft reply.
“Then I shall not disappoint you.” He said the words as he pulled his shirt tail from his jeans and began to slowly undo each button, kicking off his boots at the same time.
What he really wanted to do was rip his clothes off and take her quickly and roughly to satisfy the burning hunger that was raging inside is loins. He quickly reminded himself that Loren was a virgin and acting in such a barbaric manner would not only scare her but hurt her as well.
No, he had to do this right if he wanted to make a lasting impression on her. He had to take it slow and show her how good they could be together. He wanted to show her how much he loved and cherished her without using words.
Loren watched as Sam undid the last button and let his shirt fall to the floor. She gasped when he reached for his belt and unbuttoned his jeans exposing a thin trail of hair that disappeared under the waistband of his briefs. He would be totally naked in a matter of seconds.
The anticipation of what she would see next excited her. In the next instant, Sam’s pants fell to the floor, along with his briefs. He now stood before her totally naked in all his glory. She just lay there looking at him, memorizing every muscle, every curve, and every hair on his body. He was amazingly beautiful.
Sam lay down on the bed beside her, propping himself up on one elbow and looked directly into her eyes. “You are so beautiful,” he whispered.
“So are you,” Loren answered. Her eyelashes fluttered shyly.
Sam chuckled softly. “I have to say, that I have never been referred to as beautiful.”
He quickly realized his mistake when a twisted look of embarrassment took the place of her smile. She averted her eyes away from his face and kept her gaze frozen to his chest.
How could he have been so stupid? He had to be more careful or this might not go as well as he was hoping for.
“But I like it,” he added.
He cupped her chin, turning her face back to his and forced her to look at him. He bent down and kissed the tip of her nose, then each of her eyelids, stopping at her mouth. Sam continued to shower her face with soft, warm kisses until he felt her body begin to relax again. Once he was sure that she was back in the saddle with him, he moved over her, pinning her beneath him. He was careful not to put too much of his weight on her, for fear of crushing her tiny form.
Each kiss grew more and more intense as Sam began to rebuild the fires of passion within Loren. His kisses moved down her neck to her breast. He pleasured one breast then the other
, taking his time tasting and teasing each rosy bud with his tongue.
His left hand snaked a trail down to the curve of her hip, hesitating only for a brief moment. Before she could protest, Sam pushed his hand between her legs and parted her womanly softness with his fingers. There he felt for the wetness that would tell him that she was ready for him.
Loren gasped when he pushed one finger inside her. “Did I hurt you?” he asked.
“No.” The sound of her voice was no more than a soft whisper.
He slowly began to move is finger inside her once again. She pushed her hips against his hand, urging him to push deeper.
She was so tight that he was afraid of hurting her, but at her urging, he pushed a little deeper in search of her most sensitive spot. He soon brought her to another climax but before she fell completely back down from her climb, he entered her, slowly pushing against the barrier of her virginity.
Feeling the barrier about to give way, Sam quickly took her mouth in another passionate kiss and pushed his hard shaft fully inside her.
For a brief moment Loren tensed up, but the pain of losing her virginity only lasted for a fraction of a second. With each thrust of his hips, Sam was pushing her towards pleasures edge again.
Just as she reached another climax, Sam could hold back no longer. He thrust hard and deep letting his seed spill into her womanly softness.
Sam rolled off her and pulled Loren close to his side, where she fell asleep wrapped in his arms. He lay awake for hours thinking about what had just happened between them. He should be sorry, but he wasn’t.
Sleep soon found him and he slept peacefully beside the girl that had just become a woman; his woman.
Chapter 17
By the end of the next day, Loren had broken out in an itchy red rash that covered most of her body. She couldn’t remember ever scratching herself so much. Could she have been allergic to Sam’s cologne or maybe the detergent that he used to wash his clothing?
One thing was for sure, something had to give. She could only be described as miserable right now. The more she scratched, the more it itched. It felt like a never-ending cycle.
The back door creaked open, then shut down stairs. Thank goodness Sam was finally done with the daily chores. Loren ran down stairs to greet him.
“Whoa, looks as if someone is glad to see me,” Sam said. A grin pretty much covered his whole face. Well, at least he was happy to see her.
“Sam this is not a time for fun and games. I think I may be allergic to you.” She tried to keep a straight face.
“What are you talking about?” he asked.
Loren lifted up her shirt to give him a view of her mid-torso. It was covered with a red, splotchy rash.
“My goodness, you look awful.” He said it without thinking how it might sound to her.
“Well, if it’s any consolation to you, it feels just as bad as it looks. Seriously, I think I might be allergic to your cologne or something.”
“Honey, I hate to be the one to disappoint you, but what you have is a very bad case of poison ivy,” he confirmed.
“What? How could that have happened?” she asked.
“Remember me telling you not to touch the vines wrapped around those cedar logs yesterday?”
“Yes, but I was careful and didn’t touch them.”
“Then you must have come in contact with it from touching my gloves that you used,” Sam said.
“And all this time, I just thought that I was probably allergic to you,” she said with a laugh.
“Afraid not baby, but we need to ride into town and get some of that pink lotion stuff to rub on you. Hopefully, it will give you some relief until we can get you in to see Dr. Kim tomorrow,” he said.
Loren grabbed a light jacket and followed Sam out the back door. The sooner they got something to relieve the itching the better.
“Honey, stop scratching,” Sam said on their way to the drug store.
Loren wondered if Sam even realized that he had been referring to her as baby and honey all day. The other woman that she had seen him with was still lingering in the back of her mind. How long would it be before he dropped her and went back to his beloved Stephanie?
“I can’t, it itches so bad. I mean, like you really have no idea how bad,” she replied.
“I know, but with every scratch you are just making it worse.”
“How come you didn’t get it, after what we did last night….?” She let her words trail off, crimson staining her cheeks.
The mood had been light and good between them all day, but neither of them had mentioned their love-making the night before, although Sam had been very affectionate towards her all day, hugging and pop kissing her every chance he got.
All of the extra attention that he was giving her was making her all giddy and happy. At the moment she was feeling very much like a school girl again. Only difference was, this wasn’t just a crush. Loren was sure it was the real stuff called love.
Sam pulled up in front of the drug store, and Loren jumped out before he could comment on what she had said.
He almost had to break into a run to catch up with her. They went directly to the medicine aisle and got the pink lotion and an oatmeal bath, paid the cashier and were on their way back home in no time.
The night proved to be just as interesting as the night before. Loren had thought that Sam would retire to the bunk house when they got back to the ranch, but he quickly let her know that he had other plans.
He followed her into the house and ushered her up the stairs to the bathroom. Ignoring her puzzled look, he ran her a warm bath and sprinkled the oatmeal powder into the water.
“You need to soak for at least twenty to thirty minutes and then when you get out, just put a robe on and come back down stairs. I will help you with the calamine lotion.” He said it more like it was a given order than a request.
The oatmeal bath did seem to relieve some of the itching and soothe her red, over-scratched skin. She closed her eyes and relaxed back against the tub. It was nice to have Sam pampering her.
Loren had drifted off to sleep during her soak. Sam’s knock on the open door startled her. “Loren, are you about ready to get out of the tub?” he asked.
She sleepily nodded her head and stepped out into the oversized towel that he was holding up in front of her. Sam was careful to just pat her skin dry instead of rubbing it. From the looks of it, she must have been clawing at her sensitive skin all day
Once she was all dry, he helped her into her soft pink robe. He realized that almost everything the girl owned was pink. He guessed that it must be her favorite color.
It felt kind of weird to be letting him see her naked again. But, Sam didn’t give her much time to ponder on that thought before he led her back downstairs to the kitchen.
While she had been upstairs soaking her tortured skin, he had been downstairs in the kitchen whipping them up some toasted ham sandwiches for supper.
They both ate their sandwiches in silence. Although quite, Sam hardly took his eyes off her. Examining his inner thoughts and feelings, he realized that he would never grow tired of looking at this girl who had blossomed into a beautiful woman overnight.
Everything between them felt natural and Sam did not want it to change. He decided then and there that he would not leave MG Ranch, unless she forced him to. And if she did force him to leave, then he knew that he would be leaving his heart behind.
Loren broke the silence. “Thank you for taking care of me tonight Sam.” Her eye lashes fluttered shyly.
“You are welcome. It is the least I can do. Besides, it’s my fault that you have poison ivy.”
“I’m sure you didn’t do it on purpose, so I forgive you.” Her eyes filled with admiration as she stared at him.
Loren gathered their empty plates and placed them in the sink. Before she could turn around, Sam was behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.
Sam turned her around to face him and kiss
ed her softly. She put her arms around his middle and leaned into him, laying her head on his chest. It felt so good to just be held in the safety of his arms.
“Let’s get you upstairs and get you all pinked up,” he said.
Loren allowed Sam to lead her up the stairs and into the master bedroom. He kicked the door half-closed behind them. The lamp on the nightstand was on its lowest setting, casting various shadows throughout the room.
He slipped the pink robe from her shoulders and motioned for her to sit on the bed. He carefully spread the calamine “pink” lotion all over her irritated skin. His touch remained soft throughout the entire process, not wanting to cause her anymore discomfort.
Discomfort was the least of Loren’s worries. The caress of is hands were creating havoc on her nervous system again. Each time his skin touched hers, it caused a new sting of desire to spring forth.
Sam’s fingers brushed lightly across her nipple causing it to jump to attention. It was amazing to her at how fast her body responded to his touch.
In spite of her skin condition, the night proved to be just as interesting as the first. Their love making this time was slow and sweet, lasting way up into the wee hours of morning before they both finally drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 18
By the time that Loren had emerged from a peaceful sleep at nine o’clock the next morning, Sam had already called the doctor’s office and set up an appointment to address her poison ivy dilemma.
Her appointment with Dr. Kim was at ten a.m., so that didn’t leave her much time to get ready. Everything about her morning had been rushed and it was putting her on edge. She didn’t like being rushed; it made her feel as if she were being pushed into a corner.
Before Loren could protest to the rushing, Sam ushered her out the door and into the cab of his truck. She had barley even had time to take a quick shower to rinse off the dried calamine lotion, her hair was still damp, and applying make-up was definitely out of the question.
Twenty minutes later, he was signing her in at Dr. Kim’s medical office. At the moment Sam was making her feel very much like a child who couldn’t make her own decisions.
