He smiled and leaned down to press his lips to hers. He moved his hand to the bottom of her shirt and then under it to touch the soft skin of her belly. Her skin felt like silk under his fingers and he had to grit his teeth and take a deep breath to keep from ripping the shirt off her.
“You are so beautiful,” he said against her lips.
“I can’t believe I’m in bed with a man eleven years younger than me,” she said laughing.
“Age is just a number, Anna, and any man would be crazy not to want you, no matter what his age. I wanted you the minute I first saw you.”
“Jesse.”
She moaned when he raised her shirt, moved down her body, and kissed her above her belly button. Pulling her up, he lifted her shirt off over her head then laid her back down. He stared down at her and swallowed hard. She was beautiful beyond words. Leaning down, he kissed her lips then trailed his mouth across her cheek, to her ear, and down her neck to her breast. Moving his tongue around her nipple, it tightened into a stiff peak. Putting his mouth over it, he sucked hard and her fingers grasped his hair. He moved his hand down her stomach to inside her lounge pants then under her panties. She seemed to quit breathing. Jesse raised his head.
“Do you want me to stop?”
“Don’t you dare,” she blew out.
He chuckled and moved his hand to between her legs and her curls. He rubbed his finger up and down her slit making her moan. He kissed his way down her belly and pushed her pants off leaving her in nothing but her panties. Kissing his way up her legs, he stopped at the top of her thigh and sucked on her skin. Anna pulled his hair making him chuckle.
“No hickeys?” he asked.
“No.” She laughed.
“Okay, darlin’, I’ll just have to do something else then.” Hooking his fingers in her panties, he pulled them off and tossed them onto the floor then moved up between her legs again and placed a kiss above her curls. “Relax, Anna.”
“I’m trying.”
“I know how to make you relax,” he whispered right before moving his tongue through her curls and touching her clitoris. She hissed in a breath and stilled.
“Relax,” he repeated and spread her legs with his shoulders then sucked on her clitoris. God! She tasted so good. So damn good. Slowly, he inserted a finger then another. She was wet and her breathing started increasing. Her hands pulled at his hair. “Let it go, baby.”
Jesse could feel her clenching around his fingers as she pulled his hair harder, and then she screamed. He moved off the bed, removed his wallet, and retrieved a condom. After shucking his jeans, he rolled it on then crawled up between her legs. Staring into her face, he thought she’d never looked more beautiful. Her skin was flushed from her orgasm and she was still breathing hard.
“Anna?” She opened her eyes and looked up at him. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, please, Jesse.”
Clenching his jaw, he inched into her but kept his eyes on her face. Her eyes widened as she looked up at him.
“You okay?” he asked.
“Yes. You’re—”
“What?”
“Hung,” she said and laughed.
Jesse laughed. “You say the nicest things.”
She laughed again but gasped when he started pumping his hips. Her legs wrapped around his waist and she breathed out her next words. “You feel so good, Jesse.”
“Move with me, darlin’. Let’s do this together.”
When she moved her hips in rhythm with his, he almost lost it. He couldn’t get enough of her lips, her taste, and he was sure he’d never get enough of her. He hooked his arms under her knees and opened her up wider to him. Leaning down, he pressed his lips to hers and deepened the kiss when she moved her tongue into his mouth.
“Jesse, please don’t stop,” Anna moaned as he moved against her.
“Don’t worry, baby, I’m not stopping until I take us both over the edge,” he whispered against her lips.
His hand slipped under her to pull her tighter against him as he picked up the pace.
“Jesse,” she moaned as her breathing increased and her cheeks flushed pink. She tilted her head back on the pillow. He watched her bite her lip.
“Don’t hold back. Scream, baby. Let me hear you,” he whispered in her ear then grinned when she screamed out his name and he could feel her body clenching around his cock.
The sensation threw him over the edge. He groaned and slammed his lips on hers as he came hard. He continued to pump until he could no longer move. Leaning his forehead against hers, he took hard deep breaths.
“Damn, that was good,” he said.
“Yes,” she said, breathlessly.
He kissed her softly then rolled off her and lay beside her trying to catch his breath. It had never been like that before. As much as he hated to admit it, he’d been with a lot of women. Being in the rodeo, buckle bunnies were everywhere, and he’d taken more than his fair share. But this, this was so different. He already wanted her again. Rolling to his side, he swung his legs off the bed and stood then headed to the bathroom to dispose of the condom. Walking back into the bedroom, he couldn’t stop his grin when he saw her lying there, still breathing hard. She opened her eyes, looked at him, and smiled.
“That was amazing, Jesse.”
Crawling into the bed beside her, he pulled her to him and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, it was. Now I need a nap.”
Anna burst out laughing. “Figures. I’m going to take another bath. If you want to join me, you know where to find me.”
He groaned. “I’ll be here when you get back.”
Laughing, she swung her legs over the bed and stood. “Men,” she muttered then entered the bathroom.
He chuckled as he listened to the water come on. Getting in that tub with her sounded really good. Damn. Raising his head, he looked toward the door. Well, hell. Rolling out of the bed, Jesse headed for the bathroom.

Anna turned the water on then poured some bubble bath into the tub. She smiled as she watched the bubbles forming under the spout then shivered as she thought of the sex she’d just had. Jesse was an amazing lover. Oh. My. God. The orgasms were mind-blowing. It shocked her to be able to feel that. For years, she’d thought it was her fault she hadn’t had any with Jamie but after being with Jesse, she knew she was fine. Jamie just hadn’t been a good lover. She couldn’t blame him for it. Not really. The man never showed any feelings or emotions of any kind.
Tears filled her eyes and she quickly blinked them away. It was done. In the past. So much time wasted but it was the life she’d chosen. She had loved Jamie, just not as a wife should love a husband, not as a woman loves a man but she knew he loved her the best way he could. She jerked when the door opened then smiled when Jesse entered the bathroom.
“Do you—” She cleared her throat. “Do you need a bath?”
“I am kind of sweaty,” he said as he folded his arms and leaned against the doorjamb in all his naked glory.
Staring up at him, she couldn’t help but run her eyes over his chest. His hard pecs and six-pack stomach had her mouth going as dry as the Sahara Desert.
“Not too late to tell me to go,” he said in a low tone of voice.
She raised her eyes to his and smiled. “You’re sweaty. I think you need a bath.”
Jesse’s lips lifted in a sexy grin. “I was hoping you’d say that.”
She ran her eyes over him. The man had one hell of a body and her eyes couldn’t stay away from his crotch. As she stared at it, his dick started to rise. She looked into his face and grinned.
“Should I turn some cold water on?”
“Hell, no,” he said as he stepped forward, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. She thought that was so sexy.
“We should get in the tub,” she whispered against his lips.
“All right, darlin’. You get in first.”
He held her hand while she moved to step into the tub and she smiled. She carefully stepped
into the tub then sunk down into the water. A moment later, Jesse slid in behind her, pulled her back against him, and nuzzled her hair. His arms wrapped around her waist. He moved his lips along her collarbone and nibbled on her neck. She could get so used to this. Mentally shaking her head, she knew she shouldn’t. He’d be leaving at the end of the summer and it would all end. Taking a deep breath, she blew it out.
“What was that for?” Jesse asked her.
“Nothing.”
“Now, why is it that I don’t believe you?”
“It’s nothing, okay?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Anna pulled away from him, turned, and narrowed her eyes at him.
“What?” she growled and watched as he bit his lip to keep from grinning.
“Yes, Anna. Better?”
“Much.” She leaned forward and kissed him.
“You have a fantastic body,” he said against her lips.
“For an older woman, you mean?”
“No. For any woman. Period.”
“Seen a lot have you?”
“My fair share. Possibly more.”
“I’d believe possibly more.”
He laughed and pulled her back to him. “Let’s just not discuss it.”
“Jesse, you’re great in bed so I’m sure you’ve had a lot of experience. Me? Not so much.”
“Oh, darlin’, you’re wonderful in bed. You just needed to learn to let go and you did. You make my dick hard all day just thinking of you and when I felt you clench around it, I couldn’t hold back any longer and came harder than I ever have before.”
She burst out laughing. “You don’t mince words, do you?”
“Nope, so you need to get used to it because this is not going to be a one-time thing. We have all night ahead of us.”
“All summer too?”
“For as long as you want, baby.” He kissed her ear.
“You’ve spoiled me, Jesse. Now I know what I’ve been missing.”
“Are you telling me you want to make up for lost time?”
“I think I am,” she said, smiling.
Jesse groaned. “Well, I hope I’m up for it.”
She laughed. “I’ll make sure you are.”
“I may need to get some energy drinks.”
Anna laughed and placed her hands over his. He squeezed her and kissed her temple. He might be eleven years younger, but he certainly knew how to treat a woman. Her husband of sixteen years never did anything like this. She’d always wanted to take a bath with Jamie, but he wouldn’t do it. He told her it was silly. Jamie never knew how unhappy she’d been. She was never able to tell him because she knew it would hurt him. Even though she’d thought of leaving him, she knew she never would have. It would have devastated him. She was sure he’d never survive without her. She took care of everything around the ranch. If she suggested he get more involved, he’d just tell her she was handling it fine. He wanted the ranch but didn’t want anything to do with it as far as making sure it prospered. Maybe she should sell it. No. She couldn’t do it. This ranch had meant everything to him and it was probably because she had made sure it prospered but now it was going under. Sinking fast.
“What’s going through that beautiful head of yours?” Jesse said near her ear.
“How I’m going to keep the ranch. When you mentioned the Callahans earlier, it made me think of Devin and Jaxon’s guest ranch. I can’t compete with them. Bur Oak is a thriving ranch. Every summer they’re booked solid. How in the world can I compete with that?” Her voice cracked, and Jesse placed his chin on her shoulder.
“Have you thought of renting the cabins out?”
“I just said I can’t compete—”
“I mean as residences. You have ten cabins sitting there empty and I’m sure there are people looking for low rent homes.”
Anna sat up and spun around to stare at him and water sloshed over the side.
“Do you think I could do that?”
“I don’t see why not. You’d have to go to the courthouse or get in touch with someone so you can have them inspected.”
“But what about heat? They don’t have any heat source other than the fireplaces and people can’t just use those.”
“You could buy some baseboard heaters. They’re not real expensive but you will have to wire them up for two hundred and forty volts. I know how to do that. It’s just buying everything.”
“How much do you think I could rent them for?” Anna was getting excited over this idea.
“Well, they’re small but probably between four or five hundred would be reasonable.”
“Oh, my God! If I rent them for just four hundred, that’s four thousand a month coming in.”
“Yes, and you can have them pay utilities.”
“Except water. There are the two wells there for the cabins. Big wells too.” She laughed and threw her arms around his neck. “Thank you.”
Jesse laughed. “You’re welcome but we still have to get them in livable condition.”
“You’ll help me, right?”
“Of course.” He kissed her. “I’m in no hurry to leave.”
“Good, because I’m in no hurry to have you leave.”
“I’m glad to hear that, darlin’. Now, how about we get out of here. I still need a nap.”
Anna laughed and stood. The water cascaded down over her body and she watched as Jesse’s eyes darkened. He stood and pulled her to him and took her lips in a deep kiss. She pulled back and looked down to see his dick rising. She raised an eyebrow at him.
“Looks like that nap will have to wait, sweetheart,” he said as he stepped from the tub and put his hand out for her. Smiling, she took his hand and stepped out.
When Jesse reached for a towel and dried her off, the gesture made her hotter the more he rubbed it over her. She grabbed another towel and dried him off. Dropping to her knees in front of him, she ran the towel down his legs then up to his crotch. He sucked in a breath when she moved the towel over his dick. He was hard. Gathering up her courage, she leaned forward and kissed the head. His hands immediately wrapped in her hair. She’d never done this before. Something else Jamie hadn’t believed in which had surprised her. Didn’t all men like blowjobs? Jesse had done it for her and she wanted to return the favor.
Running her tongue along his length, she grew bolder when he moaned. Slipping her mouth down over him, she cupped his balls in her hand. His hips jerked forward as she sucked on him. Wrapping her hand around the base of him, she pumped while she sucked. Looking up, she saw he had his eyes closed and his jaw clenched. Smiling, she sucked harder then ran her tongue down him and back up again then moved her tongue around the head.
“Anna…”
“Hmmm?” she hummed, making him shudder.
“God, woman, you have to stop,” he groaned out.
Removing her mouth, she looked up at him. “Why?”
Jesse blew out a breath and looked down at her. “You’re going to make me come.”
“Yeah, I want to,” she said and placed her mouth back over him and continued to pump her hand along his length and suck on him while still massaging his balls.
She felt them tighten up and Jesse tried to pull back from her but she kept a strong grip on him. A rough and long groan tore from his chest as he came in her mouth. His hips jerked as she sucked on him until he stopped moving. She kissed her way up his stomach, his chest, and then to his lips. He grabbed her, pulled her to him, and took her lips in a deep kiss.
“Damn, you didn’t have to do that,” he said, breathing hard.
“I know I didn’t. I wanted to. I liked doing it for you. I’ve never done it before.”
“Son of a bitch. I don’t want to say anything bad about your husband, but he was certainly lacking in the lovemaking department.”
“I know. I read a lot and I knew I was missing out on a lot of things. My sister’s been married a long time and she and her husband are still so much in love.”
“As i
t should be. Just because a man has a woman doesn’t mean he stops showing her he’s happy he does.”
“Do you really believe that?”
“Yes. Any woman I fall in love with and marry, I will always cherish. It’s the way it should be. My parents’ marriage is still amazing after forty years. I want mine to be like that.”
“My parents are happy too. Jamie’s didn’t seem happy to me. It was as if they only tolerated each other and in turn, he was never shown affection, so he didn’t give any. When we dated, he’d kiss me but never pressured me for sex. To be honest, I think we were both virgins on our wedding night.”
Jesse’s eyebrows shot up. “He was twenty-seven when you married him.”
“Yes, but his parents were so strict. He told me he wasn’t allowed to date until he moved away to college and if he wasn’t a virgin, I’d be surprised because it was as if he didn’t know how to please a woman.” She shook her head. “I don’t like talking about him like this. He was good to me. He gave me anything I ever asked for.”
“Material things aren’t everything, Anna.”
“I know,” she whispered. “But he was a good man.”
“Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself?”
“I...” She shook her head.
Jesse kissed her. “How about that nap now?”
Smiling, Anna nodded. He took her hand and led her to the bedroom.
****
A week later, Jesse was in a cabin installing baseboard heaters when his cell phone buzzed. Sitting back on his heels, he pulled the phone from his jeans and swore when he saw his father’s name. Taking a deep breath, he answered.
“Hey, Dad.”
“JD, are you on your way home yet?”
“No, sir.”
“You want to tell me what you think you’re doing, son?”
“Dad, I really think you should look elsewhere. I’m sure there’s plenty of other properties you could choose from.”
“Jesse you make it sound like I’m trying to run Mrs. Tipton off her land. Look, son, you know I wait until any property is in foreclosure before I buy it. Mrs. Tipton would have time to move out.”
“Dad, she is doing her damnedest to make this ranch work. I know you always wait but if you could see how much she loves this place—”
