Page 32 of A Cowboy Takes A Chance

Jaxon grinned at her then pulled her close. “I’m sure we can think of something.”This running hot and cold needs to stop. Either be with her or tell her to go!

Presley laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m sure,” she whispered against his lips.

“Come here, darlin’.” He pulled her onto his lap.

Smiling, she moved over him but didn’t take him inside her. She rubbed against his hard cock, making him groan. He moved his hand down between her legs then moved his knuckle against her clitoris. He didn’t think he could get any harder, but when she tilted her head back and moaned, he went rock hard. When she started taking deep breaths, he moved his other hand to her breast and rubbed her nipple with the pad of his thumb then took her lips in a deep kiss. He wantedher moans to fill his mouth when she came. When he moved his hand away from between her legs, making her whimper, he lifted her then settled her over his cock. Gritting his teeth as she lowered herself down over him, he buried his face in her neck and groaned.

“Jaxon, you feel so good,” she whispered as she pulled away from his kiss.

Jaxon wrapped his hand around her nape and pulled her back to press his lips to hers.

“I want your screams to fill my mouth when you come.”

Her arms wrapped around his neck as she moved up and down his hard length. He moved his hands to her hips to set a rhythm. She moaned deep in her throat, then groaned his name when she came.

“Shit, I don’t have a condom on,” he said as he tried to move her off him.

“I’m on the pill, I need this, Jaxon. I need to feel you inside me.” She shivered despite the hot water.

Jaxon couldn’t hold out any longer. Clenching his teeth, he put his lips against her neck then lightly bit her as he came hard.

Presley continued moving against him until his hands gripped her hips tighter. He raised his head and looked into her eyes. She stared at him.

“I can see the wheels turning, Jaxon,” she whispered.

“I hate that I want you so much,” he snapped and moved her off him.

“You seriously need to make up your mind, Jaxon. One minute you want me, and the next, you don’t.” Presley stood and stepped from the tub and yanked a towel from a rack.

“I told you how this could go—”

“But you never told mewhy.”

“You know about my wife—”

“I know. She died, Jaxon and I’m sure if she could tell you, she’d tell you that you need to get on with your life.”

Standing, Jaxon reached for a towel. After drying off, he left the bathroom to enter the bedroom where he pulled on sweatpants, and a T-shirt then walked to the kitchen. He shouldn’t have said anything. It was none of her business.Shit! Shit! Shit!You are such an idiot, Callahan.You should have stayed away from her.He knew the minute he’d looked into her eyes when he handed her the towels, he should stay away. But just like every other man, he let his dick do the talking.Son of a bitch!Walking to the refrigerator, he opened it and pulled out a bottle of water. Jinks sat on the floor, staring up at him.

“Yeah, I know. You don’t have to say anything.” He smiled when Jinks put his pawover his eyes. Squatting down, he rubbed the dog’s ears. Shaking his head, he stood then walked toward the living room and glanced down the hallway but didn’t see her. God, he hoped she wasn’t crying. He’d been an ass to walk out like that. Taking a deep breath, he set the water bottle down on the hall table and headed down the hallway to the bedroom.

Presley turned the jets off then stood and reached for a towel to dry off. She just didn’t understand. The hospital expected her to return with her decision made. Only thing was, she had made no decision whatsoever. To think of leaving Jaxon was killing her but she had to go. Jaxon didn’t want her for anything other than sex, and if she were honest with herself, she wanted him to ask her to stay with him. Three weeks to go, and she was no closer to making her decision. She wanted the new position, didn’t she? She’d have more free time and more money. But money didn’t make you happy and the thought of more free time wasn’t as appealing as before because she knew all she’d do with that free time would be to think of Jaxon. The real appeal was working in that department.

A tear rolled down her cheek. She was so in love with Jaxon, but there was no questionabout her leaving because he didn’t want her to stay. He was still in love with his dead wife. Biting her bottom lip, she tried to keep it from trembling. Hearing a sound beside her, she turned her head to see Jaxon leaning against the doorjamb with his arms folded across his chest. She couldn’t stop her eyes from skimming down over him. The sweatpants he wore left little to the imagination, especially since she knew what they covered. Raising her eyes to his, she saw him staring at her.

“Jaxon, I know you don’t want to talk about it, but we have to.”

“There is nothing to talk about. Didn’t I make my feelings clear from the beginning?”

Wrapping the towel around her and tucking the ends over her breasts, she walked to him then stared up into his face.

“Yes, you did.” Her voice caught. “Do you…do you want to stop seeing each other?”

His arms wrapped around her. “No,” he said adamantly.

Raising her head, she stared up at him. “Jaxon, I don’t know what you want from me.”
