repetitive. ’
‘ It ’ s still
repetitive, ’ he said, ‘ but you ’ ll have a more things to keep you busy. ’
Jared jumped on the platform and she followed him,
careful not to bump into him. The platform was suddenly brought to life with
the flick of a switch and the milking process began.
Kirra watched in awe, as Jared meticulously checked
each teat for infection before placing the suction cups on.
When the first cow had finished being milked, he
stopped the platform, to her surprise. ‘ I ’ ll show you how to take off the cups, ’ he said.
Kirra stepped in closer. Stooping beside him, his
manly scent was distinct and all her senses came alive.
He deftly removed the teats and released his cow. ‘ Now, it’s your turn.’
Kirra easily flicked the next set free. The
weight fell into her hands and she staggered a little. He caught her, his
large hand cradling her back.
Instinctively, she turned towards him. She could feel
his breath on her cheek, every cell in her body aware of him.
‘ Kirra? ’ He stilled, a
sudden awareness darkening his eyes to midnight. ‘ Are you alright? Can you manage? ’
‘ Yes, I - ’ Her eyes
locked unblinkingly with his, as a powerful chemistry like lit phosphorus
reacted between them.
If only he hadn ’ t asked her
about Zac, she might have been able to fight this intense attraction, but he ’ d listened to her without judgement and had shown her
compassion by squeezing her shoulder which definitely wasn’t sexual
harassment!
His eyes narrowed in puzzlement. ‘ Kirra? ’
Heat curled in her loins. She gasped in surprise,
bowing her head, as the heat rose rapidly to her face.
With his index finger, he gently tipped up her chin
and a tremor of anticipation coursed through her.
Through lowered
eyelashes, she looked at him. His erratic breathing surprised her and her
breath caught in her throat.
Could he see the desire in her eyes? She wondered.
‘ Jared, I - ’ Of its own
volition, the tip of her tongue touched her top lip and she sucked her bottom
lip. Sensing the tension rising in his body, she stilled.
Delicious heat radiated out from her loins, down her
trembling thighs and up to her knotted stomach muscles which were strangely
loosening. Feeling her control slipping towards oblivion, she closed her eyes.
The cups slipped free. She didn’t hear them hit
the floor. Her eyes flew open, when she felt her waist hit a wall of muscle, as
he pulled her to him with one smooth action of his forearm. His other hand
deftly held out the cups, she suddenly realised.
A rush of strangled air expelled from her lungs. His
warm, sweet breath feathered her temples and sent waves of pleasure through her
entranced mind.
‘ Jared? ’
The cow above them mooed its displeasure and startled
her out of the rapturous spell he ’ d cast over
her. She struggled out of his embrace.
He let her go. ‘Kirra, are you alright? You looked like you were about
to faint. ’
‘ I must be out of my mind. I hardly know you, ’ she said, berating more herself than the man before
her who had taken a step back, while she straightened her coat.
What was she doing? Surely, she wasn ’ t that sex-starved to succumb to the first man who
tried to kiss her!
She shook her head, remonstrating herself inwardly.
But she couldn ’ t comprehend what had just happened. He hadn ’ t even tried to kiss her. He had only held her, slowly
and gently arousing her sensitive emotions.
‘ I ’ m sorry if I
frightened you, ’ he said, finally releasing the long-suffering cow.
‘ You didn ’ t, ’ she said, not fully composed. ‘ I just don ’ t need a
man in my life right now. ’
‘ Oh I think you do, Kirra. ’ One eyebrow arched towards his unruly dark hair. ‘ From your reaction to my touch, I ’ d say that you need the love of a man very much. ’
‘ I don ’ t need anyone, ’ she bit back. ‘ I like
being on my own. ’
