A Match Made In Texas by Anne Marie Novark Read Free Book Online

soft and supple her body had felt jammed against his during that blasted three-legged race. How good she had felt when he had caught her in his arms when she stumbled on the bus.
     
    Theresa stood staring at him, her green eyes hesitant. "What can I do for you?"
     
    Austin ignored his body's instinctive response to a pretty woman and reminded himself he was a gentleman. "Kelsey sent this over. She said you told her she could hand it in late." He thrust a sheaf of papers in her direction.
     
    Theresa took the papers and glanced through them. "Ah yes, her bibliography for the science paper she wrote. I recall telling her she could turn it in late, but I assumed she meant Monday." She set them on the table near the door.
     
    Turning toward him again, she crossed her arms over her chest, pushing her breasts even tighter against the tank top. Austin's hands itched to cup them, weigh them in his palms, rub his thumbs across the peaks.
     
    Theresa quickly dropped her arms and cleared her throat. "Um, would you like to come in? There's coffee. It's fresh."
     
    He shouldn't stay. He should get the hell out of Dodge. "Sure, why not." Removing his Stetson, Austin stepped across the threshold, brushing against her as he passed. The heat from her body nearly scorched him.
     
    She closed the door and stood with her hand on the knob, facing him, her breasts thrusting toward him. She bit her bottom lip, worrying it with her teeth.
     
    Austin wondered if she regretted inviting him in. Had it been on impulse? Did she realize how attractive and appealing he found her? Did she know she was playing with fire?
     
    He was fast losing the battle raging inside of himself. He wanted this woman. With her so close, so available, Austin didn't want to think of the reasons he should keep his hands off her. He was a man. She was a desirable woman. Very desirable.
     
    He walked toward her, stared down at her. She was breathing heavily, almost gasping. Her chest rose and fell with each breath.
     
    He tipped her chin up. "I don't think either of us really wants coffee."
     
    "What do you want?" Her voice sounded husky. Reminding him of darkened rooms, fluffy pillows. As she looked up at him, the towel tumbled down, leaving her hair hanging damply against her head.
     
    Austin caught the towel around her and pulled her close. "Only this." He took her mouth in a searing kiss, plunging his tongue inside her sweet warmth.
     
    He felt her arms creep around his waist as she hugged herself against his hard body. Dropping the towel, he cupped her bottom, pulling her tighter against him. He angled his head and thrust deeper with his tongue, tangling with hers, nipping the inside of her lips, drinking in her taste. A sexy moan in the back of her throat nearly sent him over the edge.
     
    He backed her against the door and lifted her up. "Put your legs around me," he commanded, and she complied. Austin buried his face in the hollow between her neck and shoulder, kissing the soft curve, trailing a fiery path down to her breasts.
     
    Theresa raked her fingers through Austin's golden hair. Tilting her head back, she allowed him access to her body. His breath was hot against her skin. She gripped her legs around his waist, holding on for dear life. His touch, his kiss was everything she dreamed it would be and more.
     
    She had never felt such freedom, such intensity, such abandon. Every nerve ending was on the alert. Ultra sensitized, responding to each caress. His hard body fit hers perfectly. Theresa knew she wasn't very experienced, but instinct told her she had found her match.
     
    Austin raised her shirt, exposing her breasts. He licked the nipples and blew softly, before taking one in his mouth and sucking hard. Theresa nearly screamed from the exquisite pleasure shooting down her spine.
     
    She felt him thrust hard against the thin material of her shorts. An ache deep within yearned for deeper contact. She rubbed against the pressure and heard Austin
