as she felt the pressure building deep inside her. Throwing
her head back, she tensed, knowing she was about to explode.
Jake moved his
mouth to her neck and gently bit her.
“Jake…” she exclaimed
on a low moan.
“Let it go, Becca.
Let go, baby,” he whispered against her skin.
She cried out as
her orgasm hit her. Wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her body and
she trembled hard. Becca dropped her head onto his shoulder as the flutters low
in her belly began to subside.
Oh, God! What had she done? Becca stiffened
in his arms. She was mortified. She’d wrapped her legs around him and ground
against him until she’d come like some floozy. Slowly, she lowered her legs to
the floor and he let her go. Without looking up, Becca moved away from him.
“Becca…” Jake
reached for her.
She shook her head
and ran from the barn.
Chapter Four
A week went by before Becca saw Jake
again. He’d called a few times, but she hadn’t answered. Once he even came by
and knocked on the door but she refused to answer it. Thank God, he hadn’t used
his key. Her embarrassment was so great that she refused to leave the house.
Just remembering how her body
had reacted, and how her face had flamed hot as she drove home that day was
enough to make her never want to leave home again. Her tears of frustration
were humiliating enough and she could only imagine what Jake must have thought
of her. She’d never experienced anything like that before, not with any man,
especially not Steve. Thank goodness he’d never tried. She’d had orgasms before
but never one as strong as that and not anything like that. Hell, what they’d
done wasn’t even real sex. What haunted her was the thought of what it would be
like to be with him for real.
As she sat at the kitchen table,
Becca saw a truck with a horse trailer pull up to the barn. She watched Stan
walk from the barn toward the truck with a big smile on his face.
“Oh, no,” Becca
groaned when she saw Jake step out of the truck. Both men walked to the back of
the rig. She gasped when she saw the beautiful horse Jake led from the trailer.
She didn’t care how embarrassed she was, Becca was going out there to see that
horse.
She quickly put her
coat on and hurried out to the barn where Jake had taken the horse. When she
stepped inside, he turned to look at her. He smiled at her and she blushed to
the roots of her red hair. Visions of the last time she’d been this close to
him flamed in her mind. Becca tried her best to ignore him.
“What’s going on?”
She looked to Stan for an answer.
“Jake brought his
stud over to breed with Daisy, one of Hattie’s horses,” Stan explained.
Becca almost
groaned aloud. She wanted to tell Stan never, under any circumstances, to use
the word stud and Jake in the same
sentence. To her utter chagrin, Becca heard Jake chuckle as if he’d read her
mind. The man was dangerous. Lethal, in fact. He made
her weak in the knees and breathing difficult just by looking at her.
“I thought mares
were only in season from April to October?” Becca asked Stan. He started to
answer, but Jake beat him to it.
“They are, unless
we fool Mother Nature. We put the mare under artificial lights, then her biological
calendar tells her it’s spring, and she comes in heat.
It’s an eleven-month gestation. There’s a little girl that wants a horse for
Christmas and her daddy is going to make sure she gets her foal.” Jake
shrugged. “He’s a good friend and a client of mine, so I told him I’d take care
of it.”
Becca thought it
was nice of him to do that. Why did he make it so hard not to like him? She
nodded and started to leave the barn.
“Where are you
going? You’re a ranch owner now, you need to see this,” Jake called after her.
Becca turned back
and narrowed her eyes at him. “See what?”
“The
breeding.” She saw he was trying not to smile.
Damn him!
Becca knew he
thought she wouldn’t watch and
her head back, she tensed, knowing she was about to explode.
Jake moved his
mouth to her neck and gently bit her.
“Jake…” she exclaimed
on a low moan.
“Let it go, Becca.
