Chapter 21
Chapter Twenty-One
This woman. Monty groaned as Zinnia’s sweet kiss of sympathy gradually turned into an X-rated one that sent an urgent message to his groin. He loved the way she was sucking on his tongue, but then she shifted her weight so that she could wrap her fingers around his rapidly swelling cock.
Given that double-barreled assault, he wouldn’t last long. He had a hunch where she might be going with this routine. He wasn’t opposed to letting her have her way with him at some point, but not right now.
He pulled back. “I think I know what you have in mind, and I—”
“It’ll feel good.” She gave him a teasing glance. “C’mon. Let me.”
“I will, but not now.”
“It could be an early birthday present.”
“Or a belated one next time you come over.” As he worked to dislodge her talented fingers, she resisted the effort.
Then she started giggling and it turned into a game. Soon he was laughing, too, and in serious danger of exploding. After finally prying her fingers loose, he got one arm under her tush and the other around her back. “This ends now.”
“That’s what you think.”
“That’s what I know, smarty-pants.” Thank God for this huge bed. He had enough room to tumble her backwards onto the mattress and pin her down while he attempted to take control of the situation.
She wasn’t about to let him and she was a champion wiggler. He had his hands full, plus he was running out of breath from laughing.
On top of that, he had to make sure he didn’t accidentally hurt her or bend his cock out of shape. At least that was his excuse for why she won, rolling him to his back and straddling him.
Perched on his stomach, she braced her palms on his chest and flashed him a triumphant grin. “Gotcha.”
“Yeah, you do.” He sucked in air. “I need to up my game. Never wrestled with a farrier before.”
“We’re mighty.”
“I agree.”
“You know what, Montgomery?”
He smiled. Sounded good coming from her. “What, Zinnia?”
“Normally I’m not highly motivated to take a man’s tallywacker in my mouth, but—”
“His what?”
“Tallywacker. You’ve never heard that before?”
He snorted. “No, ma’am.”
“The point is, I want to do it now and you don’t want me to. What’s up with that? I thought it was the ultimate male fantasy.”
“Oh, it is.” The view from here was unbelievable. Luckily she’d granted him ogling privileges because he’d challenge any man to ignore her breasts as they dangled temptingly above him. But he wouldn’t grab. “The thing is, I want to postpone that fantasy.”
“Why on Earth would you want to do that?”
“Embarrassing as it is to admit, with you I seem to have the staying power of a gnat, and—”
“Do you know for a fact they’re lousy in bed?”
“Not really.”
“Then you shouldn’t make assumptions. They may be small, but for all you know they’re a rockin’, sockin’ luuuv machine.” She did a little lap dance on his stomach.
“God almighty, Zinnia.” He couldn’t stop laughing. “I could come just looking at you.” He’d never imagined this playful side of her. He was enchanted and so turned on he could hardly breathe.
“I think you have adequate staying power. You managed pretty well the first time around.”
“That was in the good old missionary position. If you go down on me, I’ll last about six seconds.”
“So what?”
“I’d rather wait until I’ve built up some endurance so I can fully enjoy the experience.” He also didn’t want her giving him a blow job because she was feeling sorry for him after their name discussion. He wasn’t crazy about telling her that.
“Hm. I see your point. So we’ll stick with the missionary position until you get your mojo back?”
“Not necessarily. I kinda like where we ended up with our wrestling match.” It would be a challenge, but he was willing to risk it.
“You’re okay with me being on top?”
“Yep, especially if you’ll let me play with your breasts in that scenario.”
“You can play with them in any scenario. You’ve earned that right.”
“Like now?”
“Except for now, because I have to pay a visit to the condom drawer. Be right back. Don’t go away.”
“I won’t, but you should probably let me put it on.”
“Are you kidding me right now?” She crawled to the drawer and opened it. “I can’t wait to put this sucker on you. Surely you wouldn’t deprive me of that special treat.”
“You’re killing me, lady.”
“You’ll love it.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of.” And he had good reason.
When she came back, she brought him a pillow to prop under his head and she’d already taken the condom out of the package. Settling her sexy fanny on his thighs, she eyed his tallywacker with a gleam in her green eyes. Where had she heard that? He’d ask his brothers if they knew what it meant.
For the moment his job was making sure his tallywacker didn’t turn into a geyser while she slowly rolled on the condom. He considered closing his eyes, but in the end he wanted to see even if it meant he ended up a hot mess.
Her technique was fine. Her pace was agonizingly slow. And there was that little smile of anticipation which drew his attention to her plump lips.
Was he a fool for not taking her up on her offer? So far he was surviving this routine, so he might have sailed through it like a stud. Then she cupped his balls. He gasped and clenched his jaw, holding back the orgasm that almost was.
She glanced up. “Like that?”
“You bet.” He sounded like he’d swallowed a mouthful of gravel. “Now please let go.”
“O-kay.” She gave a little bounce to the first syllable. Rising to her knees, she crawled forward, her gaze locked with his.
No doubt about it, she was on the prowl. And she was coming for him. He swallowed. Next time, let’s close the windows. That had been her suggestion, not his. He’d done her bidding and clearly she planned to make him yell.
It was hardly the first time he’d made love this way, but it was his first time with Zinnia. Her physicality had transfixed him the instant she’d stepped out of Graham’s truck.
He hadn’t acknowledged that he wanted a woman who’d wrestle with him and hold her own. But his body had known. When she’d appeared, an instinct deep within him had whispered this one.
He’d bought the biggest bed he could find, one that required special-order sheets. Finally he knew why he’d insisted on having all this space. For Zinnia.
Laying her palms on his chest just under his collarbone, she kept her tush in the air as she bent her elbows until her nipples brushed back and forth against his. “Feel that?”
“Sure do. Are we giving off sparks?”
“Not yet. Soon. You’re free to touch my girls whenever they’re in range.”
“Thanks.”
“Like now.”
“You want me to?”
“I do.” She dipped her head and nibbled on his mouth. “They like it.”
Taking a breath, he gathered paradise into his hands, letting the weight rest in his palms while he brushed his thumbs lazily over her nipples.
As they stiffened, she moaned softly and rocked forward, offering a gift to his waiting mouth. He didn’t take that gesture lightly. He’d bet she’d never made it before.
And he treated it like the privilege it was, loving her with all his might until her cries grew breathless and her body began to shake.
“I need you.”
Her low-pitched, husky admission sent fire shooting through his veins. “Take what you want.”
Pushing away, she slid her hands to his abs and lowered her hips. “Help me.”
He grasped his cock and guided it into place, his heart going a million miles an hour.
She didn’t waste any time. In one quick motion, she yelled yee-haw and took him up to the hilt. He laughed at that, but the intense connection stole his breath, turning his pithy swear word into a murmur.
Then she started moving and holy hell. Needing something to hold, he grabbed her hips as he met each downward stroke with an upward thrust.
She gave him the ride of a lifetime, one that ended too soon in a noisy and jubilant mutual climax. Panting, welded to her in what felt like an unbreakable bond, he stared into her wide eyes. His were likely the same.
She gulped for air. “What just happened?”
“Wild monkey sex?”
She nodded slowly. “I’d buy that.” She took another deep breath. “I’ve never yelled yee-haw in my life.”
“You mean during sex?”
“I mean during anything. That phrase has never come out of my mouth before.”
He grinned. “I liked it. Seemed to fit the moment.”
“Let’s keep it to ourselves.”
“As I understand it, we’re keeping all of this to ourselves.”
“Except for Mari. I won’t tell her I yelled yee-haw.”
“Why not? It’s kinda funny. You’d make her laugh.”
“I would, but then she’d… never mind. I’m not telling her.”
“If that’s settled, I have to make a little trip.”
“Oh, right.” She disengaged with care and flopped back on the bed.
He climbed out on shaky legs, as if he’d just been tossed around by the biggest coaster in the amusement park. Cleaning up quickly, he returned to the bed. “Need anything?”
“A cuddle.”
“I gots you.” He gathered her close and let out a sigh. The next thing he knew it was morning. And Zinnia was gone.
