“What’re we doing?”

“It’s a surprise.” He’s pressing open mouthed kisses down my neck and it’s making me think I should be wearing nothing when he picks me up.

“I need to know what to wear.”

“Something you like, but it’s only Kauri Creek so it doesn’t need to be red carpet. Something pretty, or sexy, or not. I don’t really care. You look stunning in everything.”

“Alright, cowboy. That’s super helpful. I’m sure I can find something.”

“Good. I’ll see you in an hour. I’ll put Aurora in the paddock for you.”

That snaps me out of the lusty haze his mouth has trapped me in. “You will?”

“Yeah, I will. If you think she’ll be okay.”

“She’ll be fine.” I press a final kiss to his cheek. “Thank you.”

“See you soon, princess,” he says, releasing the knot holding Aurora in place and leading her from the barn, leaving me feeling a little unsettled, and a lot like I’m in love.

DALLAS

Katie opensher front door and steps onto the porch as I pull into her driveway. At the sight of her I’m tempted to cancel our first official date and spend the rest of the afternoon locked inside her room.

She’s wearing an oversized white shirt with the sleeves rolled back and it’s questionable if she has any of the buttons done up, so when she leans on the porch railing I catch an eyeful of white lace bra.

My brain stutters as memories from our first night hit me. Of her wearing a white lace bra and riding me, never taking the bra off, but me scooping her tits out of the cups when I wanted to get my mouth on them.

I’ve only made it halfway up her front path and I’m frozen to the spot with a raging boner. I haven’t even made it past looking at her shirt. I’m not sure my heart—or my dick—is going to cope with whatever she’s dressed her lower half in.

I force myself to keep walking forward and hope my strideshide the readjustment I have to do of my pants. I hear her laugh softly and know I’ve been busted.

I step onto the porch and take in the full outfit. The oversized shirt, with no buttons holding it closed, just the way it’s tucked into her tight, dark red mini skirt keeping it in place. The skirt shows off the muscles in her thighs, a long expanse of leg that ends at knee high boots.

At least they’re not the over the knee ones, or I really wouldn’t be able to leave her place tonight.

“Suitable?” she asks, a small smirk playing at her lips. I step forward and slip my hands into her loose hair, finding the back of her neck and pulling her into me.

Our mouths collide in a searing kiss. Katie lets out a little gasp and I swallow it down, almost choking when her fingers find my throat and she trails her fingernails down it.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” she says when I finally pull away.

“I told you, you look stunning in everything. But this,” I say, pushing aside the collar of her shirt to expose the white elastic of her bra strap and a touch of the lace. “Is this the one I think it is?”

“Yeah,” she breathes.

“The matching set?” My hand drops to her ass, then lower until I’m toying with the hem of her skirt.

“Mmhmm. Want confirmation?” she mumbles, then bites her bottom lip.

“Later,” I manage to croak out.

A flash of disappointment crosses her face. “Later?”

“Yeah.” I press a kiss to her forehead. “We have all night, princess. First, we’ve got a date to go on.”

“A proper date?”
