Chapter Fifteen #3
Hallie’s responding smile nearly knocked me off my feet.
“Thank you,” she said, and she cast me a shy look that almost knocked me on my arse.
Hallie was not shy, and her sudden innocent appearance was like a hit of Viagra to my cock.
In her white nightwear, with her hair down and that sweet smile, she looked every inch the angel I’d believed her to be that night in the barn.
“You know, coming from you that means the world to me.” Hallie dipped her head.
“These past few days . . . They’ve been a dream come true. ”
Every word she spoke was sincere, but when she ran her right hand over her left wrist, over the fucking marks I’d put there, I gripped the doorframe so hard I feared the wood would splinter.
I needed to leave. I couldn’t take the scent of rose and vanilla that was flooding my nose. I couldn’t take her glistening skin, those fuck-me eyes, and her mouth that was just begging to be kissed.
“I’m leaving,” I said, finding my voice. Hallie froze. “Tomorrow.”
“Oh,” she said, her body tensed and her happiness faded away.
I stepped back from the door. I had to leave.
“I just came to say well done, and goodbye.” I nodded and went to turn away when Hallie’s fingers wrapped around my forearm.
I stared down at those fingers. Her nails were natural but neat, and her touch made a million fucking nerve endings spark to life.
I looked up at the girl that was wrapping me around her fingers as much as her fingers were wrapped around my arm.
“So that’s it, then?” she said, a bite to her voice, but there was a hint of sadness in her tone too.
“You fuck me, we dance around each other for days, not bringing it up, and then you leave?” As serious as this moment was, the take-no-shit cowgirl within Hallie rising to the surface made heat burst in my chest.
“What the fuck can I offer you?” I said, then met her eyes.
Her turquoise gaze was blazing. “My life is shit right now, Hallie. No, it’s fucking dangerous.
” I shook my head. “If I even look at you the wrong way, the likes of Camillie Dubois and Alexis Hobbs will smear your name among our peers. Are you prepared for that?”
“I haven’t mixed with them once here in Doha,” she said back. “And I don’t give a shit what they think of me.”
“You say that now, but when they’re relentlessly accusing you of getting to the top by fucking me, you’ll change your tune.”
“Fucking you hasn’t made me a winner. I did that on my own,” she argued.
“Exactly. And you deserve to have that be known.” I laughed without humor.
“I’m not a victim. I don’t feel sorry for myself.
How could I? I’m rich beyond measure and run businesses that I love.
But I have shit happening in my life that you don’t want to be around.
You don’t want to hitch your wagon to this horse.
That night in the trailer . . . It’s all we can ever have. ”
“What shit? Why are you always talking in riddles? I know you’ve had losses and hard times, and I’m sorry for that.
But why push everyone away?” Hallie moved her hand off my arm, and I felt the loss of her warmth immediately.
She folded her arms over her chest. “We all go through shit, but that’s when we lean on one another.
” I didn’t open my mouth. No one outside of my family knew the truth.
Hallie shook her head, exasperated. “Fine, Jasper. Have it your way.”
“I’m truly sorry,” I said, meaning every word. “Keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll dominate in this tour.”
I went to walk away when she reached out and took my arm again. When I glanced back, all the fight had fled from her perfect body.
“Thank you,” she whispered. Her Texan accent was thick in this moment.
She was unreserved, and I knew she meant what she was saying.
“For everything.” She looked up at me through thick lashes, pupils wide.
“Despite what’s happened between us, if I hadn’t seen you all those years ago .
. .” She shook her head. “I wouldn’t be here now, living this dream.
” Her hand slackened on my arm, and she began to run her fingers up and down my skin, gently . . .
“Hallie . . .” I growled, my cock practically pushing through the zip in my jeans under her touch.
Hallie stepped closer, and closer, turning me until she was only an inch away.
She was almost a foot shorter than me, but in this moment, she held me under her control.
When her big turquoise eyes met mine again, I fucking stopped breathing.
Hallie put her hand on my chest and said, “Thank you for coming to see us ride here in Doha.” I clenched my jaw, hands fisted at my side to stop from crushing her to me and slamming my mouth to hers.
“Thank you for coming to me in the warm-up ring and calming me down.” I glanced down and saw her nipples hard and scraping against my shirt.
I swallowed a groan, then Hallie cupped my cheek with soft hands and said, “I’ll miss you.
” Hallie lifted to her tiptoes, then pressed a kiss on my cheek.
As her lips grazed my cheek, suspended for several seconds, I grasped hold of her biceps and growled, “Hallie . . .” It was a warning, a clear sign that I was about to fucking snap.
“Jasper,” Hallie whispered back, meeting my eyes.
There wasn’t goodbye in her eyes, there was an invitation, clear as day.
I couldn’t . . . I shouldn’t . . . The tension built and built between us, static thickening the air, until Hallie rolled her shoulder, the thin strap of her camisole falling .
. . and dragging the material with it, revealing her full breast and hard nipple . . .
Control snapping, restraint fallen, I crashed my mouth into Hallie’s, pushing her back into her room.
Slamming the door closed behind us, Hallie’s back hit the wall as I turned her and plunged my tongue into her mouth.
Hallie moaned and I lifted her leg around my waist to grind my hard cock against her warm pussy.
I broke from her mouth, kissing down her cheek, her neck, saying, “I’m fucking addicted to you.
” Hallie shivered as I pulled her head back by her hair, her hips rocking forward as I did.
“I can’t fucking stay away, no matter how hard I fucking try,” I said.
And I bent down, ripping the top of her nightwear in two, and not giving a fuck as it fell to the floor.
I instantly sucked on a nipple, Hallie’s back bending farther as she pushed her tit into my mouth.
“Jasper,” she moaned, and I sucked even harder. I bit down, and Hallie shuddered against me.
“You like it rough, don’t you, Angel?” I said, looking up at her to see her eyes fluttering closed and her cheeks flaming under my touch.
“Yes,” she said, arching as she clawed at my back.
“Mark me,” I ordered. Hallie’s nails dug into my flesh harder.
When my shirt blocked Hallie from giving it to me like I needed, I stepped back and ripped it open too, tossing it to join hers on the floor.
Hallie leaned against the door, tits bare, skin flushed, her bright-turquoise gaze fixed on me.
“Get your shorts off,” I said, and licked my lips as Hallie placed her hands on the waistband of her shorts and slowly pulled them down. Her bare pussy was revealed to me in seconds, and I almost dropped to my knees so I could take her in my mouth.
“Kick them to the side,” I said when her shorts fell to pool at her feet.
Hallie did as ordered, and I unbuttoned my jeans, pulling down my zip.
I lowered the waistband of my boxers until my cock sprang free, and I took it in my hand.
“I want you to touch yourself.” Hallie went to do exactly as instructed.
“Uh-uh, not just yet.” I tipped my head to the side as I took her in. “When I tell you to.”
Hallie’s eyes widened at my command. I loved this side to her.
When the feisty cowgirl became my tame little show jumper who did anything I asked.
I stepped closer. Her breathing was choppy, tits rising up and down with each erratic inhalation.
I stopped mere inches from her perfect fucking naked body.
“Tell me,” I said, softly running my fingertip over her chest. Hallie went to move, but I shook my head.
“No,” I ordered, and she stopped, which had my hard dick throbbing.
“Hands above your head,” I said, and Hallie immediately lifted her hands, clasping them together against the wall.
I moved my fingertip to her breast, circling the flesh.
Hallie moaned, fighting to keep her body still.
“Tell me,” I repeated, running my finger around her nipple but not quite touching the hard flesh.
I kissed her cheek, a barely there kiss, my bottom lip dragging over her blush.
“Have you touched yourself since our night in the trailer?”
Hallie whimpered, and when I met her eyes, she nodded.
“To the memory of us?” I asked. Another nod.
“Show me,” I said, and Hallie’s eyes widened.
Reaching up, I unthreaded her clasped fingers and pulled one hand down to her side whilst keeping her other hand above her head and pressed against the door.
Hallie’s hand moved over her stomach, and I could feel precum leaking from my cock.
“Show me,” I said again, harder in voice this time.
Hallie liked that, if the rocking of her hips was any indication.
“Show me how you fucked your hand to the thought of me pushing you over the saddle rack and eating your perfect pussy from behind until you fell apart on my tongue.”
