Dane's Restraint by J.J. Ranger Read Free Book Online Page A

thrill she got at knowing she’d see him in just a few short hours. What did he have planned for later? She was excited to think his plan would most likely center around sex.
    But it wasn’t just the sex. A niggling in her brain warned she was in for trouble. That niggling told her that her heart was trying to intervene, and the heart always led to lots and lots of strings.
    ****
    Dane finished riding the ranch’s perimeter and checked his watch. Noon. Almost six hours since he’d crawled out of Sara’s bed. He’d hated leaving her, naked, beautiful. His dick throbbed with need just thinking about it.
    He’d told her he was willing to help her with a weekend fling, but the weekend wasn’t long enough to teach her everything he wanted to. Or to get his fill. She’d captured his attention and he wanted more. Yet he’d promised no strings.
    The thought of Sunday made him frown. Would she just walk away, only acknowledge him with a curt nod when they saw each other in town? Despite what her asshole ex thought, she was a hot-blooded woman with a very passionate soul. He wouldn’t be able to act like they’d never been together if he saw her in the grocery store.
    Hell, if he saw her in the produce section, checking out cucumbers, he’d probably want to fuck her with the damn vegetable. And then do her himself.
    He shook the thoughts from his head and settled Blaze in the corral, then ran back to the house for a shower and change of clothes. He couldn’t get done fast enough. The eagerness to see Sara did not bode well for his man card. Surely his brothers would demand he turn it in.
    Then again, after the way Dustin drooled after Shannon, and Deke and Dillon were preoccupied with Charissa and Jessie…Dane huffed out a laugh. No, his older brothers were in no position to demand his man card.
    He jogged up the steps to Sara’s cabin. Hand poised to knock, he heard a thump from inside then a muffled curse. More bangs, then, “Sonofabitch. What the hell’s he got in that box?”
    A grin curved his lips, and he dismissed knocking and just walked in. He found Sara sitting on the floor beside the bed, his box of toys open and the contents strewn out before her. The scent of honeysuckle wafted into his nostrils. Her face was scrubbed clean, and her mahogany hair hung down her back in shower-fresh ringlets. Denim shorts and a baby blue tank top accented her shapely curves. Damn, she was beautiful.
    Her hazel eyes wide, she met his gaze. “What were you planning to do with all this…stuff?”
    Right, like she had no idea what to do with a dildo or handcuffs? Okay, so she probably wasn’t used to seeing ball gags or anal plugs, and she wouldn’t know about the clamps because those were his creation, but he would have fun teaching her. He moved closer to the bed and opened the nightstand drawer.
    Withdrawing her flesh-colored vibrator, he held it up. “The same thing you do with this.”
    Her cheeks colored and her lower lip stuck out in a slight pout. He took her hand and tugged her to her feet. Bending, he brushed his mouth across hers, tasting cherry lip balm.
    “Hi,” she breathed when he stepped back.
    Dane trailed a finger down the curve of her cheek. His heart pounded so hard he couldn’t speak. Fuck. He was out of his comfort zone, but he couldn’t stop himself from sliding his arms around her waist and drawing her into his embrace. He rested his face in the curve of her neck, inhaling deeply. He may only have the weekend but he planned to make the most of it.
    She leaned back to stare into his face. “Is everything okay?”
    He dropped a kiss on the tip of her nose. “Never better.” He reached down for a ball gag and plug. “We’re going to be adventurous tonight. But first, I want you to touch me.” Dane directed her hand to his erection, holding her hand against his jeans.
    The corners of her mouth tipped up in a sexy grin, and she reached for his zipper. Keeping her gaze locked on his, she popped
