Bareback For Cowboy Page 2

  Sophia smiled. “Nice to meet you…Pounder, I’m Sophia.”

  His stare went back to the first man, and then he looked at Cade. “She don’t look like you told us.”

  “Never mind what I said,” Cade answered, annoyed. “Sophia, this is Tipsie, or John. I’ll let you decide what you wish to call him.”

  She smiled and nodded. “Hello…Tipsie.”

  “You two could have waited until Sophia was settled before pouncing on her.”

  “No worries, Cade. It’s very nice to meet both of you.”

  He removed her suitcase and set it inside the trailer. She remained unmoving, then turned to the sound of voices and amusement rides in the distance. “Sounds like a busy place to be.” She motioned to the expansive area.

  “It is,” Pounder agreed. “Hundreds of thousands of people attend the Stampede each year.”

  “I can’t wait to take a look around.”

  “Can you ride a horse?” Tipsie jumped in.

  “The last time I sat on a horse was ten years ago, and if I remember correctly, it stepped on my foot. I don’t think I’m much of a horse person.”

  Tipsie laughed. “Don’t you worry about that, we’ll have you on a horse in no time, and I’m sure you’ll love it.”

  Her smile faded. “Oh.”

  Cade returned to her side. “You’re going to have her running back to Paris if you keep scaring her like that.”

  Pounder grabbed Tipsie by the sleeve of his shirt and winked at Cade. “Let’s go, we’ve got riding to do, just like Cade.”

  She watched Cade shake his head slowly. “Sorry about that,” he apologized.

  She chuckled.

  “Come take a look. Then you can decide if you want to stay here or not.”

  “I’m sure it will be just great. Don’t worry about me.” She took a step forward, and her stiletto heel sank deep into the dirt, throwing her off balance. Her arms flailed. She thought for sure she was going to fall, but in a heartbeat Cade snatched her up, back into his arms.

  “I thought that might happen,” he whispered in her ear.

  She looked up into his eyes and found herself wanting to drown in the depth of the deep blue. “I seem to be in your arms a lot since I got here.”

  For a moment no words came between the two of them. He bit his bottom lip, and she was certain if she didn’t look away from him, she’d be unable to control herself.

  He spoke. “I think I like you in my arms.”

  With a couple of long strides and up three steps, he deposited her inside the door. Once her eyes adjusted to the change of light, she looked around and her mouth dropped. She drank in the rich dark colors. The kitchen looked complete and even had an island with a large marble countertop. There was a fireplace in the living area, a large flat-screen TV and a giant wrap-around sofa surrounded by panoramic windows. Down at the far end were three steps leading up to what must be the bedroom and bathroom.

  She turned to see Cade standing close behind her. “This is lovely!”

  “I think it’s pretty nice.” He smiled, agreeing. “I think you’ll find everything you need here. The bedroom is just up the stairs and the bathroom is off to the side.”

  “Are you sure I won’t be in the way?” An unexpected yawn caught her off guard.

  “You must be tired, and it’s already after eight. Are you hungry? I could make us something to eat,” he offered.

  “Wouldn’t that mean I was being needy?”

  Nonchalantly he shook his head. “Heck no. It means I’m hungry and I could cook something for you, too, since I’d be cooking for myself.”

  She didn’t realize until this moment how tired she really was. She’d been up for way too many hours and sleep wasn’t something that came easily to her since her mother’s accident. “I am tired,” she agreed. “Would you find it rude if I just turned in early? It’s been a really long day.”

  “You do whatever you wish, Sophia. I’m sure you’re exhausted.”

  “I hope you don’t mind.” She stifled her yawn with the back of her hand.

  He shook his head. “I’ve gotta check on the horses anyway. It’s a big day tomorrow.”

  She smiled. “Thanks for understanding. I’ll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning.”

  “Just make yourself at home. The fridge is fully stocked. Eat whatever you wish.”

  It amazed her! Even at her current age, she had a crush on him. Stepping closer to him and on her tiptoes, she placed a kiss on his cheek. “Goodnight, Cade.”

  He stood perfectly still, but damn, his body was on fire for the ugly duckling who had blossomed into the beautiful swan. He needed air. Turning, he exited the trailer.

  Chapter Four

  As he put the key in the door, his watch blinked 12:45 a.m. Not wanting to wake Sophia, he entered as quietly as possible. He’d worked his horses and tended to them. After the grueling practice he was done, but unable to get past Pounder and Tipsie, he stayed for a couple of whiskeys, took a verbal beating for his earlier description of Sophia, and left totally exhausted.

  He made his way up the stairs and gently closed the door. Unfortunately, he needed a shower, which happened to be situated right beside the bedroom. Hopefully, she’ll stay asleep.

  The shower was uneventful, but thoughts of Sophia sleeping in his bed in the room next door made him think he should turn the shower back on…and turn it to cold.

  Cade wrapped a towel around his waist. It had been a long day and he was exhausted, but when he heard the bang and the panicked scream, he came wide awake. Without a second thought, he shoved the bedroom door open and found Sophia fighting with the window.

  “Mom! I can’t open the door! Open the door! Somebody help me,” she screamed as she tugged at the window handle.

  He jumped over the large, king-size bed and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. “Sophia, it’s okay, sweetie. You’re dreaming,” he whispered in her ear as he tried to pull her away.

  She continued grasping at the window in desperation. “No! Why isn’t anybody helping us? Mom! Somebody help us,” she cried frantically. He could feel her whole body trembling.

  Nothing could have prepared him for this. He continued gently pulling her away and whispering softly in her ear. “Sophia, it’s okay. You’re dreaming, honey. Wake up. It’s okay.”

  He felt her body go limp, and scooping her up in his arms, he laid her gently on the bed. She continued to whimper, but he held her. Images of what she must be imagining went through his mind. The burning wreckage, her mother’s lifeless body unmoving in the passenger seat. The door had been jammed and the car was an inferno. Recalling the emotions he felt reading the article, Cade closed his eyes. Nobody deserved to die like that. Sophia had been traveling in another vehicle behind the car her mother rode in. The oncoming truck crossed the median and hit her mother’s car head-on. Apparently, the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel.

  His mother explained to him that they had to pull Sophia away from the wreckage. Away from her mother’s charred body, burned beyond recognition.

  He held her tight, stroking her hair. “I’m here, Sophia, you’re gonna be okay. It’s all over.”

  “No. No. No,” she continued to whimper.

  “Go to sleep, Sophia. I’ll take care of you,” he murmured.

  Hours seemed to pass, but eventually her tears stopped and she calmed down. Not wanting to wake her, he carefully pulled the covers up and over them and fell asleep himself holding her in his arms.

  ***

  Sophia opened her eyes and immediately knew she’d had one of those nights. Feeling as if sandpaper had been attached to her upper eyelids, she kept them closed. It was then that she realized there was a large arm draped over her waist. Her breathing stopped. What had she done? Good heavens, it wasn’t just an arm, but also a heavy leg cast over her leg.

  The heavy masculine scent of spicy soap drifted up her nose. She opened her eyes and turned her head to loo
k over her shoulder. She let out a big rush of air. It was Cade’s body sprawled across hers. Her heart pounded, and her breathing increased its tempo.

  She thought if she moved ever so gently perhaps she’d be able to scoot out and not wake him. However, the moment she attempted to move his arm, he pulled her closer. The squeak leaving her mouth surprised the hell right out of her. Her hand flew to cover her mouth, but it was too late. Cade’s blue eyes stared down into hers.

  “Je suis désolé,” she blurted out in French.

  His eyes traveled over her face. Was it a look of concern? “I’m sorry, Cade,” she said, softly repeating it in English.

  Sleepily, he slowly shook his head from side to side and brushed her hair away from her face. “I’m sorry, Sophia. I had no idea what you were going through. I’m so very sorry.” He pulled her into his arms.

  She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the familiar sting of unshed tears. His arms felt so right, holding her, chasing her demons away. For a moment she held still, embracing the comfort he offered her.

  At that moment, she also realized he had nothing on beneath the covers. She could feel his arousal and went perfectly still.

  Instantly, he shoved himself away from her and she was certain his face turned red.

  Now was the time. Never in her life had she been more certain about anything. It felt as though she’d spent all her life waiting for this exact moment.

  Gently she reached over to him and placed her finger over his lips. “Shush.”

  He went perfectly still.

  For a moment, she thought she must look a sight, but immediately disregarded it. Cade would be hers even if for just this one time. She pulled back the covers, letting her gaze travel up and down his magnificent body. Every nerve came alive with excitement. For years she only imagined that a moment like this might happen. He was, after all, her crush as a teenager.

  Like a giant cat, she seductively straddled his body. His cock stood rock-hard. Bending forward, she took one of his nipples in her mouth, sucking with a tiny bite. His sharp intake of air caused her to hold momentarily still.

  “Sophia…” he uttered with uncertainty.

  “I’m sure, Cade,” she answered.

  Sitting up, she wrapped her arms around her body and grabbed hold of her silky red negligee. She pulled it over her head slowly, then shook her hair so it fell down to her waist and over one shoulder.

  There was no script telling her what to do; she just remembered all the things she’d wanted to do to him over the years. She squirmed her way over his body until she could cup his balls in her hand. She kissed her way down his chest, and her mouth found its way to the same place she’d just been stroking. She licked him from his scrotum to the tip of his penis. Unable to resist, she placed her mouth over him fully.

  He groaned her name outright and clutched at the bed covers with his hands. Her tongue swirled around his pulsing cock, sucking the head.

  “Stop, Sophia,” he pleaded.

  “I haven’t even begun.” She smiled wickedly.

  With his cock shining from her saliva and throbbing with pending climax, she captured eye contact and slowly stood above him. She flung her head back, and her hands snaked over her breasts, stopping to pinch each nipple. Continuing a path over her own body, she halted at the apex of her cunt. Slowly, she spread herself open for him to view what she was about to offer. Cade’s features changed. Hunger etched across his face like he was a fierce tiger.

  ***

  In all his years, he’d never witnessed anything so sexy and erotic. He wanted Sophia more than anything he’d ever experienced. Watching her one hand stroking her luscious pussy and her other stuck in her mouth, he came unglued.

  “You’re one hot filly destined to be broke,” he panted, and sitting up, he grabbed her by the hips. His tongue lashed out, swirling around her belly button ring. Catching it between his teeth, he pulled her closer. There couldn’t possibly be anything sweeter on earth. His tongue moved down to find her slit. Enjoying each second, he lapped at her essence. Her moans made his cock even harder if that was possible. Continuing his assault, he slowly flicked his tongue back and forth against her clitoris.

  Sophia panted loudly and planted her hands on the ceiling. He continued to suck, lick, and bite until her hands dropped to his head, pulling him toward her with force.

  “Cade…don’t stop.”

  He did, but only briefly. Just long enough to slide his hands down over her ass and into her dripping pussy. Her muscles gripped him tightly. She expelled a string of French words followed by an “Oh God!”

  He continued thrusting in and out until she exploded. Crying out, she quivered from head to toe and pulled him even closer to her center. She let go slowly and sank into the bed, wrapping her legs around him as he sat.

  Before he could speak, she leaned forward and kissed the fruits of her passion from his lips. He thought he’d come right then and there until she pushed him down.

  “Let me show you how I ride,” she spoke with her French accent.

  Paralyzed, he remained on his back.

  “Don’t move.”

  He could only nod, wishing to be put out of his misery.

  She grabbed something from her suitcase and returned to the bed. He watched curiously as she set the satin box on the night table before leaning over to take him in her mouth. His groan caught him off guard as exquisite pleasure tore through his body from limb to limb. Semen leaked from the tip of his cock, and he fought to hold onto any remaining restraint.

  Her mouth slid up and down his rigid cock while her hands stroked his balls.

  “Sophia, I can’t take…much…more.”

  She gazed up at him and licked the head with her tongue. “We haven’t begun to ride yet.”

  He closed his eyes in defeat. She reached for the black satin box and opened the lid. When her fingers pulled out two silver balls, his eyes sprang open. “Do you know what these are, Cade?”

  He stared unsure and shook his head.

  “I’m guessing your spurs drive your horse to go faster, correct?” she whispered.

  He could only nod, wondering where this was going. “Well, these are my spurs for this morning.”

  He had no idea what she meant until she kneeled above him and inserted one of the silver balls into her pussy. His cock jerked in response. She did the same with the second ball. Then, from the box she pulled out an assortment of colored packages containing condoms. He didn’t give her time to ask which one he wanted. He grabbed the red one, tore it open, and quickly slid it over his cock.

  Wickedly, she lowered herself onto him. “Let’s see how well you ride, Cade Galloway.” Up and down she went over him and with each movement, he lost a piece of his sanity. It felt as though the metal balls were swirling around his cock while she continued to ride him ruthlessly. Unable to take it any further, he grabbed her around the waist, flipped her over, and pinned her to the bed.

  He smiled down at her. “I love how you ride, sweetie, but I’m done being nice.”

  He thrust into her deeply and without mercy. Her short whimper and the tightening of her perfect cunt told him she was ready. Over the edge he went, grabbing her by the ass and thrusting one last time. His load shot from him in an endless wave of ecstasy unlike anything he’d ever felt.

  Collapsing on top of her, the reality of it all came crashing over him. He shouldn’t have done this. He took advantage of her in the worst way. She’d had a horrific night, and on top of it all, he’d had sex with her. He sighed heavily, wondering how he would face her.

  Taking a deep breath, he lifted himself from her. God, she was beautiful. Her eyes hypnotized him. When she smiled, it felt like someone sucker-punched him. He rolled away from her and sat on the edge of the bed, tidying himself up. With the sun coming up, he actually thought about bolting because he didn’t know what to say.

  She moved behind him. “Hey,” she prodded, running her fingertips over his shoulder. “You can look a
t me,” she teased.

  Dread filled him. “I’m sorry,” he blurted out.

  She laughed. “Cade, I’m not a child anymore. I was very aware of what I wanted from you. Please don’t feel bad. You know I’ve had a crush on you since I could remember. What we just experienced was better than anything I could have ever imagined.”

  He lowered his head. “I shouldn’t have. I took advantage of you. I just don’t want you to expect something from me I can’t give.”

  She punched him in the arm. “You took advantage of me? Hmm, that’s not how I remember it.” She looked at the window and the damaged blind. “I’m embarrassed. I’ve managed to wreck the blinds. I didn’t tell you about the nightmares I’ve been having. I should have known better. I was overtired. I’ll pay to repair them.”

  “This is not about my blinds,” he ground out, exasperated.

  Sophia took the sheet, pulled it around her body, and got off the bed. “Don’t go anywhere. I just need to use the washroom for a moment.”

  “I’ll be here.” He stood and grabbed a pair of boxers and a clean T-shirt.

  She returned in a robe with her hair in a ponytail. “Don’t fret over this. Really, I was just having fun.”

  His stomach twisted. He hadn’t expected those words from her mouth. But then again, that’s all he wanted. Right?

  He grinned at her. “Are you sure?”

  “I’m positive. I’m here for two weeks, so perhaps we’ll have more fun than I originally planned. Heaven knows I could use the distraction.” She hung her head, but then as if realizing something, she quickly looked back up at him with her eyes wide. “Cade! I didn’t stop to ask if you were involved with anyone.”

  He chuckled and came around to stand in front of her. Unable to resist the urge, he placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her close for a smoldering kiss. “I don’t have time for relationships that would just slow me down. I do, however, have a special lady in my life. She’s got long dark legs, beautiful hair, and soft eyes.”

  She blinked slowly, and her mouth fell open.
