Cowboy Underneath It All by Delores Fossen Read Free Book Online Page A

since high school, and despite the logistics, he managed to get Eliza in just the right place so he could get the condom on and push inside her.
    Hell, yeah. It was right.
    Everything was suddenly right.
    Kane couldn’t think too much beyond the “fire hot” stage, but this seemed past the point of just plain pleasure. It was, well, special.
    He didn’t know how Eliza maneuvered her body like that, but she got her legs around him. Got him to pick up the pace that would almost certainly be the opposite of taking the time to savor it. Like their drive over, everything was frantic.
    Kane went faster, harder, deeper.
    He braced himself for the onslaught of the climax. It came all right. He did. She did. And Kane knew he’d just made a huge mistake that he was sure to regret.
    Well, he’d regret it later.
    Right now Kane wanted to get Eliza inside for that second round.
    * * *
    It was possible that Eliza could no longer move any part of her body.
    She was too slack to test that theory, though. The only thing she wanted to do right now was stay in Kane’s bed, snuggled up against him. Exactly where she’d spent most of the night.
    Well, most of the night excluding the time in the truck. And on the living room sofa. They’d finally made it to the bed after midnight.
    Like their kiss in the pub and on the porch, Eliza had fantasized about being with Kane this way. And now it had finally happened. Also like that kiss, the hype of this experience lived up to the fantasy.
    Of course, in her fantasies Kane and she went on to live the perfect life while having lots more sex. And even though that would be jumping the gun to think they could actually have a future together, this was a start. Now that they knew they were good in bed—and in his truck—then maybe that “good” would extend to other areas.
    That rosy outlook lasted just a short while before the doubts began to creep into her head. Kane probably had casual sex like this all the time. He might intend to keep having casual sex. And maybe that’s what she wanted, as well.
    As long as that casual sex was with her.
    She winced even though she’d only thought that and not said it aloud. It was a dumb thing to think. And, heck, she might not even want more than just this. Eliza was hanging on to that resolve until Kane shifted, pulled her even closer and dropped a kiss on her mouth.
    Mercy, she was in so much trouble.
    â€œWhat kind of trouble?” he asked.
    The sound of Kane’s voice jarred her. The realization of what she’d done did some jarring, as well. She’d actually said that trouble part aloud. Great. Now she would have to explain something she didn’t want to explain.
    â€œI’m just thinking,” she settled for saying.
    â€œThinking too much,” he mumbled back, and he checked the clock on the nightstand. “Especially thinking too much, since it’s barely seven in the morning.”
    Good. He was going to let this slide. Or not. Just when she thought she was in the clear, he opened one eye, peeked out at her and then groaned softly when he touched his lips to her bunched-up forehead.
    â€œIs this about Violet?” he asked.
    Eliza was certain her forehead bunched up even more than it already had, because her sister was the last thing on her mind. “Uh, no. Should it be?’”
    He groaned, kissed her again and adjusted the pillow so that he was looking down at her. “No. But I thought it might bother you that I’d been with your sister. In fact, I wasn’t sure you’d be able to get past that.”
    â€œOh, I’m long past that.” She paused. “Are you?”
    No groan this time, just a long breath, and he gave the pillow another adjustment so that he was looking up at the ceiling. He tucked his hands behind his head. “I am. You shouldn’t have to ask after what just happened.”
    That sounded...promising. For a few
