“Yep. We had a class together, but we didn’t meet up again until a few years after we both graduated.”

“And you decided to open the ranch?”

His fingers skimmed over her abdomen. “When we ran into each other at a conference, we went out for drinks. We were playing catch up, and Tyler expressed an interest in opening a dude ranch. I’d just put a down payment on the land for what you see today. Tyler’s eyes lit up, and I asked him if he wanted to be my business partner.”

“Were you always planning on it being an adult ranch?” She tilted her head so she could see his face.

“Well, the conference Tyler and I attended was about sexual preferences. I realized there was no safe place for couples to explore their sensuality. I told Tyler my idea.”

“And Quick Silver Ranch was born.” She’d never heard Jared so animated as he was when he talked about the ranch. This place was very special to him.

“It took some time, but we eventually pulled it off.” His voice held pride, and she liked it. He should be proud of what he and Tyler had accomplished.

She brushed a kiss over his chin. “How long before you became a runaway success?”

“What makes you think we’re a success?”

Her laughed filled the air. “Since I’ve been looking at your accounts, I know how much you’re making. Not that I care. But knowing you, the ranch could only be a success.”

“It’s amazing what word of mouth will do.” He brushed the undersides of her breasts with the pads of his fingers, careful not to disturb the tear drops.

She pressed her ass against his groin.

“Are you wet, my sweetness.” His lips were against her ear.

“Yes.” Of course she was. He made sure of it.

“I can see your nipples straining against the fabric of your t-shirt.”

“Someone put a toy on them.”

“And the bead thong?”

“Teasing me. As I’m sure you wanted.” She wiggled her ass against his erection. “You’re hard.”

“If you keep that up, I’m going to burst.” He gently bit the lobe of her ear.

Her heart pounded. Their time was almost up. Was this going to be the good-bye speech?

“There’s one of your fantasies I haven’t fulfilled yet.”

“Oh, which one is that?” He’d done so many things, a lot of them she’d never even fantasized about.

“You with two men.”

Her blood heated. They’d talked about it in the beginning, but she hadn’t really thought about it, since the ranch was closed, and there was no one else around. “What did you have in mind?”

His hands covered hers where they rested on her belly. His skin was cool. “There’s a club in Sacramento I’m a member of.”

“A gentleman’s club?” She couldn’t quite picture Jared going to a place like that. He was too sexual to sit and watch women strip.

“Not really.” He shifted. “You know I like my sex a little rough and kinky.”

“Yes, and in case you haven’t noticed, I’m enjoying that side of you too.”

“Which makes me happy.” His lips caressed her cheek. “The club is owned by a friend, and it’s a BDSM club.”

“Oh.” That was the only word she could think of.
