“Yep.”
He didn’t expound on his answer, so I sighed and did as he’d requested. Once I was seated, he swung up behind me, and when he took the reins, I was cradled in his arms. I’d always felt safe there, but the long, thick bulge pressed against my ass had a whole different set of feelings coursing through me. It fanned the slow burn that I always felt in his presence, threatening to engulf me in flames of need.
For the briefest of moments, I considered the idea of blowing off steam with a good, hard fuck—just to get it out of my system—and then walking away. I almost laughed out loud as I silently called myself an idiot and filed that thought away in the “things I might be able to do if hell froze over” file.
Lost in my thoughts, I wasn’t paying attention to our destination, so when we stopped in front of Kyle’s house, I gasped and held my breath. Not for the reason I probably should have, though. Kyle had practically kidnapped me, but all I could think about was how I was going to resist the urge to jump him and ride him like a prized stallion.
“I know you’re angry,” he murmured in my ear. I didn’t disagree. Instead, I stayed silent, afraid I would tell him the truth. “We need to talk, Maddie. And I’m tired of chasing this conversation. So I’m nailing you down, and we are going to do this.”
I knew he hadn’t meant it the way it sounded. Still, I nearly groaned and resisted the overpowering urge to slap myself upside the head. Again, I should have focused on anger at his high-handedness. I should not have found it sexy. And I definitely shouldn’t have had my mind planted in the gutter and picturing Kyle “nailing me” in an entirely different context.
Kyle chuckled, and my eyes narrowed as I finally exhaled harshly and whipped my head around to glare suspiciously. His smirk and the hunger in his blue orbs confirmed that he’d either intended the double entendre or realized it when I did and apparently, found it amusing. If it hadn’t been for the blatant desire on his face, I would have been annoyed…but my stupid hormones were taking charge, and they were basking in Kyle’s heated attention.
A shiver skittered down my spine, and Kyle grunted as he buried his face in my hair. “Damn, you smell good. Maybe bringing you to a place with privacy and a bed wasn’t the greatest idea for a talk,” he grumbled. “Then again, it seems like a fucking fantastic idea.”
I cleared my throat and scooted as far forward as possible. It was barely an inch, but enough for me to take a deep breath and clear away some of the fog. His mention of this “talk” he wanted to have did an excellent job of cooling my ardor as well. “Fine,” I muttered. “Let’s get this over with.”
He chuckled and stood in the stirrups. “If you’re referring to our talk, I’m happy to oblige.” His leg swung back around the horse’s flank, and he dismounted. Before I could protest, he grabbed my waist and lifted me out of the saddle and set me on the ground centimeters from his body. “But if you’re talking about what we’re going to do in bed, that would be a hard no. I’m going to take my sweet time.
“My fingers and tongue are going to learn every square inch of your sexy body. Then when I’ve acquainted myself with what you taste like when you come on my tongue once or twice, I’m going to slowly sink inside you and savor every moment of your tight pussy squeezing the life out of my cock until you come again, screaming my name.”
Well, fuck. What was I supposed to say to that? My body was buzzing, and my panties were soaked. All I wanted was to grab his hand and drag him to the bedroom so he could do all of that and more. “Talk,” I blurted. Kyle smirked, and why did he have to be so damn sexy when he did that?
He took my hand and led me to the front door, unlocked it, and pulled me inside. The sound of the lock clicking back into place was almost ominous. Something in the air shifted with it, and I realized I’d unknowingly turned a corner. There was no going back from here. No more wavering. It was time to decide once and for all because I knew that if I turned him down again, he’d give me what he thought I wanted and disappear from my life.
Except that was the last thing I wanted. Having Kyle back in my life had made me recognize the hole he’d left was still there. I felt complete when he was around. It was time to ask myself honestly if I was brave enough to risk losing him and my heart? Or should I just cut ties with him now? Then maybe I’d only feel the pain of a gaping hole in my life, rather than in my heart?
Kyle dropped my hand and cupped my cheeks before leaning in and placing a gentle kiss on my lips. “Stop fighting it, Maddie. We belong together. I would never hurt you.”
I shook my head and took a step back. “You wouldn’t do it on purpose. But you can’t guarantee what will happen in the future. What if you get bored? I don’t want you to be unhappy and stuck because you promised to never hurt me.”
He looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath. After a minute, he blew it out and scooped me into his arms. He stalked to the couch and dropped down onto it, shifting me so I was straddling him. I tried to scramble off his lap, but he kept a firm hold on my hips, refusing to let go. Heat exploded in my lower regions when I felt his hot, hard shaft between my legs. I held in a moan by pressing my lips firmly together and holding my breath. When he chuckled and gave me one of his stupid, sexy smirks, it was clear I hadn’t fooled him.
“Now, it’s time to get a few things straight,” he grunted.
“I can’t think sitting like this,” I protested weakly.
“So don’t think. Just listen while I explain how things are going to go from here.”
I raised a brow and crossed my arms over my chest. His eyes lowered, and I realized my position had boosted them up, and my nipples were poking through my bra and top. I quickly unfolded my arms and clasped my hands in front of me, scowling at the wicked glint in his eyes.
“I know you feel what’s between us, baby. You’ve always felt it. I should never have waited so long to tell you how I felt, and I shouldn’t have abandoned you when I promised not to. We were young and made some stupid choices.” Kyle removed one of his hands from my hip and firmly grasped my chin between his thumb and forefinger. “I don’t make the same mistake twice. So I’m telling you right now, Maddie. I want you, and if you give us a chance, I won’t be going anywhere. You’re it for me.”
His head dipped, and his velvet lips slid along my jawline. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back, giving him better access, and he roamed down my neck, where he paused to suck on the skin at my collarbone. “Let me show you just how amazing we are together, baby.” He gently blew on the wet surface, and I shivered, shifting restlessly on his lap. He lifted his head, and his beautiful blue eyes stared right into my soul.
“Show me.”

Kyle
I wanted to jump up and take Maddie straight to the bedroom before she could change her mind. But this wasn’t a one-night stand or a fling, and I knew when I finally got inside my woman, I’d never be able to let her go. “Are you sure? Because once I take you to bed, there is no going back.”
Uncertainty flitted across her face, and my dick started cursing me out, but after a few seconds, she nodded and breathed, “Yes. I’m sure.”
“Thank fuck,” I muttered as I sprung up and walked swiftly to the master bedroom at the back of the house.
I set her on her feet in front of the bed, and she reached for the buttons on her shirt, and I gently batted them away. “Let me.” She smiled and dropped her hands to my waist, her fingers bunching the fabric of my T-shirt in a tight grip as though she was afraid I would get away.
“I’m not going anywhere that you aren’t,” I whispered as I slowly popped the first button. Her fingers unclenched, but then they slid up underneath my shirts, splaying on my abs, and my head started spinning. A part of me couldn’t believe I was finally there—standing with the girl of my dreams, who had become the woman of my dreams—about to make her mine. I grasped her wrists and brought her hands to her sides. “I can’t think with your hands on me, baby. If I let you touch me righ
t now, this will be over way too fast.”
“Maybe I don’t want slow,” she muttered.
“Too bad,” I snarked back with a half-grin. “I told you what was going to happen when I finally got you here, Maddie.” Her blue eyes flared with heat, and she licked her lips as she nodded. I dropped her wrists, and my hands returned to her shirt, popping each button and kissing the skin as it was revealed.
When I reached the valley between her tits, I licked up the center and over the top of one globe before latching on to her nipple through her bra. Maddie moaned, and the sound went straight to my aching cock, causing precum to leak from the tip as it strained to break free of its confinement. I moved to the other breast and nibbled on her nipple through the cloth. That only lasted a few seconds before I was yanking her bra down and freeing her magnificent tits. “Fucking beautiful,” I breathed.
They were large and full, topped with peaks the color of her sexy freckles. I licked around one bud and over the sensitive tip, then sucked it hard as I made quick work of the rest of her buttons. As soon as it fell open, I pushed it off her shoulders, and it fell to the floor. I switched to the opposite breast while my fingers nimbly unfastened the clasp on her bra. It loosened, and I was forced to let her nipple go with a pop so that the lingerie would drop away.
“I want to touch you,” she rasped.
“Soon, baby,” I whispered as I dropped to my knees in front of her. I was at eye level with her tits, and I gave each one a light kiss before moving my focus to her pants. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but my dick was having none of that. Every movement caused me pain, but I would always put Maddie first.
I pushed away everything that didn’t involve giving my woman mind-blowing pleasure. Her snap gave way, and I hooked my fingers into her panties, tugging them both down together. Her jeans slid easily to the floor, and I kept my gaze on them, building the anticipation for what came next.
She placed her hands on my shoulders, and I helped her step out of the last of her clothes. I started to raise my head, but she squeezed my shoulder and begged, “You too.”
Knowing exactly what she was asking, I reached for the back of my shirt and pulled it off over my head. Her hands glided down my shoulders, and my head whipped sharply from side to side as I captured them in my own.
“Not yet,” I grunted. She mewled in protest but didn’t try to move her hands from where I set them on my shoulders. Finally, I allowed my eyes to stray to the apex of her thighs. Fuck me… There was not one inch of this woman who wasn’t stunningly gorgeous. There was only a small patch of copper curls on her flawless pussy, and my mouth watered. Wrapping my hands around her hips, I leaned in and inhaled deeply. “If you taste as good as you smell, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to leave this pussy.”
Maddie chuckled, and I glanced up into her sparkling blue eyes. “That might make things a little awkward at work.” I grinned back, then nipped at her thigh, making her squeak. It morphed right into a moan when I shoved my tongue between her folds and licked her from bottom to top.
“Mmm,” I hummed appreciatively. “Even better.” Maddie quivered, and her body swayed a little. I gave her mound a quick kiss before surging to my feet and scooping her into my arms. I laid her out on the bed and looked my fill for a few moments, but my shaft pulsed painfully, reminding me that he was still out of the action. And pretty fucking pissed about it. Maddie’s eyes locked onto my hands as I unsnapped my pants, slid down the zipper, and carefully removed my cock before kicking them off. I hadn’t bothered with underwear, so I was entirely bare for her heated gaze.
Her eyes raked me over from head to toe, leaving a trail of sizzling need in their wake. On her way back up, she got hung up on my long, thick cock that was jutting out and straining toward her. She licked her lips, and her gaze turned hungry, making me scramble onto the bed. I straddled her and pinned her hands up over her head. “Another time, baby.”
She pouted for a hot minute until I slid down to rest between her thighs. Licking up her slit, I circled my tongue around her swollen little clit and plunged it inside her tight hole. I groaned and repeated the pattern several times before mumbling, “You taste incredible. And fuck, your pussy is so wet and tight, I don’t know how long I can wait to get my cock inside you.”
I separated her folds with my thumbs and feasted on her sex. Every moan, every whimper, every cry had me on the verge of coming. I ground my pelvis into the mattress, trying to relieve some of the pressure, but the closer she came to climax, the more tenuous my grip on my control became. “I need you to come, baby,” I grunted. “Come on my tongue.”
Maddie’s body tightened like a bow, her hips bucking into my mouth and her back arching. Then she clenched the sheets with white knuckles and threw her head back to scream as she burst apart. Her pussy gushed and flooded my mouth with her sweet juices. It only took a single taste for me to know that I was addicted to her flavor. Now, I was going to crave it. I didn’t think that had a group for this kind of addiction, not that I was looking to go. I had no problem giving in to this weakness. I licked her through her orgasm, making sure to catch every drop.
Once her shudders subside, and her fingers loosen, I kissed her pussy one last time before dragging my body up until I was covering her completely. My cock was nestled between her pussy lips, already wet and drenching it with her honey. I rested on one elbow and used my free hand to cup her cheek.
After placing a soft kiss on her lips, I whispered, “I may not be your first, Maddie, but I’m sure as fuck going to be your last.” I hated the idea of her with another man, but the reality was, she’d been engaged to that asshole. I wanted to kick my ass for leaving and not fighting harder for her. The end was what mattered, though. In the end, she was mine, and I was hers.
I was about to kiss her again when I realized her cheeks were a darker hue of pink than the rest of her passion-flushed skin. Her eyes were looking everywhere but at my face, and she was chewing her bottom lip.
“Maddie?” I swallowed hard and tried to rein in my rapidly deteriorating control, terrified of her answer to the question I knew I needed to ask. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?”
Her eyebrows shot up, and her blue eyes widened with surprise as she finally met my gaze. “Hell, yes. I’ve waited so long to—” She broke off, and the pink deepened to crimson. She cleared her throat and smiled awkwardly. Not exactly the expression you want to see on the face of the woman you just made come and are about to bury your cock in. “I was going to say I waited so long to be with you, but the truth is…there’s never been anyone else.”
My jaw dropped, and I was speechless, although my desire skyrocketed through the fucking roof. “You’re a virgin?” I clarified when I could finally string two words together. She nodded. “But…Sam?”
Maddie shrugged. “That might have had something to do with why he left me for a stripper. I told him I wanted to wait until the wedding, but I didn’t tell him that it was because I was hoping by then I’d want him enough to sleep with him.”
“Son of a bitch,” I breathed. I couldn’t hold it back anymore, and cum began to leak from my tip.
Maddie cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes. “You’re not going to go screaming into the night because you were about to fuck a virgin, right?” she jibed as she poked one of my ribs. Her nose scrunched up as she glared at me, and it made me laugh, earning me another hard jab.
“No, baby. I’m happy as fuck that you haven’t been with anyone else. I will always want you, and that would remain true whether you were a virgin or not. Still, it brings out the caveman inside me to know I’m the only one to claim this pussy. This insanely gorgeous body.”
“So stop talking about it and show me, Neanderthal.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I bent my head to kiss her again, then paused, before rising back up. “Before we go any farther, I think you deserve to know something.”
Maddie raised an eyebrow and smirked.
“You’re not gonna tell me you’re a virgin, too, are you?” Then she laughed, but when I didn’t join her, the chuckled died off. I was slightly mortified when my face heated, and Maddie gasped, “Holy shit. You are—?”
She stopped when I shook my head. “No, but…I haven’t been with anyone since the day I met you.”
Her mouth formed an O, and she stared at me in shock. “But that was—” She broke off when I nodded again. “Kyle…I…wow. I don’t even know what to say. Except”—she shrugged and smiled sweetly—“thank you.”
“It’s always been you, Maddie. Only you.”
Our mouths came together, and my hands traveled all over her body, caressing every inch of her silky skin. I called on every deity for some self-restraint as I worked her with my mouth and fingers, driving her to the edge so that once I got inside her, I wouldn’t embarrass myself by coming before she did. I felt like a damn teenager, but that was the power she held over me. I would do anything for her.
Eventually, she began to shake, her body growing taut again. She cried out as I pinched one nipple as my mouth bit gently on the other. Her hips bucked up as her legs clamped around my waist. “Now, Ky,” she begged. “Please, don’t make me wait any longer.”
I bent my knees to lift off her enough to slide my hands under her ass and line up my cock. Maddie’s hands went to her tits, and she played with her nipples like I’d been doing moments ago. It was my breaking point. I snapped my hips forward and drove deep inside her until I was completely sheathed.
“Oh, fuck,” I groaned. “You are fucking perfect, baby.”
“You’re so big,” she breathed. I feel so full. My cock was big, so I was stretching her pussy, which made me a little worried. I had just enough brain cells left to remember to glance at her beautiful face and make sure she was okay.
Her head was back, her eyes closed, and her hands were clutching at the bed. I was afraid she was in pain until she moaned, “Don’t stop.”
