Page 55 of When It Burns

“Yes sir, I won’t,” Michael replies, sounding effectively intimidated.

“Good, well you have my number if you need it. I’ll check in with you soon, okay?” I say as I tug on the barbed wire fence, making sure it doesn’t give when I push on it.

“Sounds good. Enjoy your weekend, Chief.”

“You too, Michael,” I say before disconnecting the call and tucking my phone back into my pocket. I move along the fence, and spend the next hour checking the line of barbed wire and reattaching the pieces that have worn loose.

When I’m satisfied with my progress, I take off my gloves and begin the trek back to the house. I pull my phone out and send Caroline a text.

Me: I can’t stop thinking about you, Sunshine. What time are you heading this way?

Caroline: Getting dressed now. See you in thirty?

Me: Sounds good. I am going to jump in the shower. And darlin’?

Caroline: Yes?

Me: Don’t bother wearing any panties.

Caroline: Yes sir. ;)

Yep, it’s going to be a good afternoon.

I barely havetime to throw on some old jeans and a black T-shirt when I step out of the shower before I hear Bear let out a bark announcing Caroline’s arrival.

I walk down the hall barefoot to let her in, grabbing my hat as I pass where I left it sitting on the counter.

I open the door and smirk at Caroline’s ripped jean shorts and a solid black T-shirt. She has her dark brown hair piled on top of her head, and I swear I have never seen someone as beautiful as she is right now.

“Come on in,” I say politely, like I wasn’t just picturing her naked a moment ago. “I’m gonna grab my stuff before we check on the property.”

“Sounds good, Cowboy. What all are we working on today?” Caroline asks while I try to think about any of the tasks I planned for us to start today. If I don’t focus, I’m going to have her in my bed while I tease her, and as much as I love that idea, I really could use her help on the farm today.

“Well, there's a few things in the barn I could use a hand with. Do you mind?” I respond, looking for my work gloves that I used right before I got in the shower.

“Sure, Cowboy. I told you I would help you with anything you need. And I did mean anything.” Caroline flirts with a wink.

Damn it, I’m so screwed.

I pin Caroline against the counter and steal a long kiss. We’re both breathless when I finally pull back and say, “Let’s go, baby.”

We walk outside hand in hand, and I lead Caroline up the walkway into the large barn. “So I was thinking we could work on getting some of this old junk cleaned out,” I suggest, gesturing to the plethora of stuff left on one side of the barn.

Caroline takes in the large hay barn and walks over to the opposite side where I’d stacked several rolls of hay I purchased this week. “Hmmm, we could do that…” she says with a grin.

“Or we could pick up where we left off last night, and I could beg you to fuck me against the haybale…” she finishes, and my breath catches in my throat.

“I would love that Sunshine, but I don’t have a condom with me,” I tell her, and I know she doesn’t miss the disappointment in my voice.

“I’m clean, Cowboy, and I have an IUD,” she says shyly. “I just want to feel you bare.”

I stalk toward her as she smirks at me. “Well, Miss Tyler, you know how I like it when you beg.” With that, I push her against the closest round bale and wrap her legs around my hips.

She lets out a low moan as she grinds her hips against me. I lean in and whisper, “But if we start this, we aren’t leaving this barn until you’re dripping with my cum.”

Her eyes darken, and she gives me a small nod letting me know she wants this as desperately as I do.
