Page 48 of What the Cowboy Wants
Without taking his mouth from hers, he picked her up, staggering in the direction of her bedroom.

While still ravagingher mouth, Cooper slowly slid her down against every inch of his body.He was hard and ready for her.Just the thought nearly sent her over the edge.She’d been ready for him since the day she’d first seen him.
His lips left her mouth, sliding hungrily over her face, down her neck where they hovered over the soft spot just below her ear before they continued their journey.He grasped a handful of hair and gently pulled, a silent request.
Of course, she knew what he wanted.With a sigh, she dropped her head all the way back, giving him full access while her hands slipped into his hair.Slowly, ever so slowly, his mouth followed the curve of her breast, teasing her, driving her to the brink of madness.By the time his warm mouth finally closed over a hardened nipple, she was trembling with need.
As he turned to her other breast, her knees buckled and she fell backward on the bed, taking him with her.Without missing a beat, he continued his onslaught, torturing her with his mouth and hands, inflaming her already overstimulated senses until she was ready to burst.
How was it possible to want someone this much?This intensely?With a groan, he captured her lips again while his hands pushed at her jeans.
“Let me…” she gasped and helped him.
His eyes were nearly feverish with want as he threw the jeans aside and looked down at her.He picked up one of her legs.“These, Red, have been driving me steadily crazy since the first moment I saw you.”Bending his head, he kissed the inside of her foot, sending another wave of heat through her body.
Closing her eyes, she gave herself up to his lovemaking.
While his warm hand slid down her leg, his teeth scraped over her flesh before his lips took over again.Her body moved restlessly, urgently, the need to have him inside her became almost unbearable.
But he was taking his sweet time, damn him, and he continued his exploration until he was about to reach where she needed him most.And then he retreated.Her eyes flew open.“Cooper, damn it,” she groaned, her hips lifting in anguish.
Grinning, he dropped the leg.“Told you I want to go slow.”With his eyes on her, he picked up her other leg.“I’m not nearly done, Red.”And painstakingly thorough, his hand traveled over every inch of her other leg as well.
With every stroke of his hand, the air became heavier, making breathing almost impossible and still those clever fingers continued to torture her.Just when she was ready to weep, his fingers found her.
She whimpered, and as if that was what he’d been waiting for, he dropped down next to her and captured her lips with his again.As his tongue met hers in a joyous dance, his fingers continued to stroke and tease until a strong wind simply picked her up and threw her up and up a high mountain.
As she crested with his scent surrounding her, his voice egging her on, his name was on her lips.

In awe, Cooperlooked down at the beautiful sight below of him.The hand he slipped down her shuddering body wasn’t very steady either.Ignoring his own pulsating need, he continued to stroke and fondle her until her breathing slowed and she opened her eyes.
She smiled.A beautiful one, lighting up her eyes.“Am I still alive?”
“I don’t know,” he grinned, covering her breast with his hand.“Let me check.Oh, dear, I can’t hear anything.Let me try this way.”Lowering his head to her breast, he turned his ear toward her heart.It was thundering away at an alarming speed.
“Cooper,” she groaned as her long legs wrapped around him.
His mouth had no other option but to close over her breast again and gathering her close, he buried his face in her softness.
“You’re still wearing way too many clothes,” she breathed.“I think it’s my turn to torture you.”
“You’ve been torturing me since the day you arrived, Red,” he chuckled as he got off the bed to take off the last of his clothes.
Eagerly she scooted closer, keen to help.As he dropped his jeans to the ground, her eyes widened.“Wow, cowboy,” she breathed.
Feeling ten feet tall, he joined her on the bed again.
Lifting herself on her elbow, she touched him.“Mmm, it’s growing,” she said seriously, but the twinkle in her eyes gave her away.“Does it mean he’s happy?”
Laughing, he turned so that she was lying under him.“Oh, he’s very happy and you’ll get your turn, but if you touch me now, this will be over before I’ve had my fill of you.I ache for you, Red.”
She opened her arms and welcomed him home.Her red hair was spread out over the bed and with a groan, he gathered her close and kissed her.
The moment their lips touched, the fire was back, burning brighter and higher than before.Her flesh was smooth and hot, tempting him to give her more than he’d ever given anyone before.He’d been determined to show her slow and tender, but the need to become one with her refused to be kept in check any longer.
