The sun dropped in the sky, and shadows began to trickle into the back seat. Looking at Theo’s chiseled body bathed in shadows only made her hotter for him.
“You’re beautiful,” she rasped, running both hands down his chest and abs.
He grazed his teeth over her nipple and then looked into her eyes. Neither of them could stop now, or even pump the brakes. She needed him inside her, and he knew what she wanted and how to give it to her.
He slammed a condom in place and they both looked down as she guided the fat head of his cock to her own plump lips.
The head disappeared, burrowing into her folds…slipping inside her entrance…and then rooting balls-deep in her pussy.
They stopped, and she enjoyed the glorious sensation of being filled by a flesh and blood man.
With a slow gyration of his hips, he tested her depths, skimming the head over her inner point.
She locked her legs around his back and rocked into him. “Kiss me, cowboy!”
He did, thrusting his tongue into her mouth and his cock in her depths. Taking her, shaking her apart, remaking her into someone brand new who she’d need to get to know later on when they went their separate ways.
She gripped his bulky shoulders and moved with his every plunge, giving them both the utmost pleasure. She felt his ass stiffen under her calves. His eyes burned, and she reached up to brush her thumb across his lips.
The intimate gesture had Theo’s eyes shuttering. He groaned and then began to jerk his hips as his orgasm hit. Watching a man come apart for her this way sent her reeling too, and her insides clutched hard around his erection.
He growled, slamming his lips over hers. She lost herself in their shared moans and his grunts as the final spurt of cum left his body.
Raising a hand to his hair, she ruffled the thick strands as she fought to slow her heartrate. A long minute passed where neither moved or spoke, and she grew aware of an energy passing between them. Or was it only her imagination? Her need to strike a connection, even for a brief moment?
When he turned his head and kissed her shoulder, she shivered in a heightened state of sexual haze. Then he did something she would think about long after they parted ways…
He took her fingers and pressed a kiss to each pad, one after another, his lips warm and his eyes smoldering.

“Man, you should see this girl.” Theo’s fellow ranch hand, Cole Huxley, drew arcs in the air to mimic the curves he’d been raving about for five minutes. He cupped his palms on the invisible globes of a woman’s ass.
Theo’s mouth dried out as he thought of Sadie’s ass. Round, tight, high…perfect. Dammit, he was getting hard again, and it’d been two weeks since he hooked up with her.
He brought his water bottle to his lips. “Sounds like true love.”
Huxley grinned. “If you saw her, you’d be in love too.”
“Pretty sure that’s called lust, dude.”
“Lust…love…what’s the difference? Anyway, I’m going back to the bar tonight to see her.”
All Huxley had talked about for a week was the new waitress at the Crossroads bar. Theo knew far more about her than he cared to, having heard all about her second-best feature, which happened to be double D in size.
Lately, he was an ass man and he hadn’t even gotten a chance to worship Sadie’s the way he wanted. He’d fantasized about it plenty since then…about licking, biting, slapping it.
He tipped the cool water down his throat. It hit the spot and quenched his thirst but did nothing to cool his train of thought. Lowering the bottle, he backhanded the water off his lips and considered upending it over his head to cool off the rest of his body.
“It’s a scorcher today,” he changed the subject.
Huxley glanced up at the cloudless sky. “Sure is. Remind me why we picked the afternoon to work on the fence.”
“Plain stupid, I guess.” He grinned at his buddy and set the water bottle in the back of the truck. “Best get back to it. We’ve got a lot more posts to set.”
With the Bellamy Ranch expanding and doubling its business what felt like every few months, the ranch hands could barely keep up. The horse ranch had grown into a big business, owned and operated by Cort Bellamy and with the help of his cousins Kaoz and Aidan and a half dozen hands.
Theo hefted another fence post from the truck bed and carried it to the spot where they’d set it for the new pasture enclosure. Huxley followed with a roll of electric fence wire. As soon as he got within earshot of Theo, he started up again on the beauty from the bar.
“Do you know anything about her besides she has a great body?” Theo only half joked. He didn’t know much more about the woman he’d hooked up with. She was new to Crossroads, and he’d looked for her a few times, even going so far as to pay another visit to the winery hoping to run into her. He didn’t even like wine.
Huxley scratched at his temple a moment, brows screwed up in thought. “Since she’s a woman, I’d say she enjoys salads and getting her nails done.”
Theo gave a shake of his head. “That’s like saying all men like beer and barbecue. Oh wait—we do.”
They shared a laugh.
“Does she ride?” Theo hefted the post over his shoulder and headed to the hole they’d dug earlier.
“Most likely. What woman around here doesn’t?”
“She might be one o’ those city types who expects her man to have money and a fast car.” He was only messing with Huxley, but the guy’s brows tipped together into a V.
“You don’t think that could be the case, do you?”
Theo shrugged and lowered the new post into the hole. As they worked, he listened to Huxley talk about things that normal young single guys talked about. But he found his own mind drifting.
He’d grown up fast after dropping out of college. Without his parents’ support of his decision—in fact, they were downright angry—Theo had little choice but to strike out on his own.
Since he’d worked on a horse ranch here in Georgia during summers as a teen, he knew the hard work that faced him. He also preferred physical labor and working outdoors for a living. When compared to the classroom and teaching history, as he’d initially planned to do, the Bellamy Ranch won first prize. Theo couldn’t think of a better office than the wide open fields, sun and sky.
The scent of fresh soil tingled in his nostrils, and he inhaled deeply, only half listening to Huxley’s ramblings now. Theo might love his job, but he couldn’t deny it’d become more than a little stressful the past few months.
When he discovered Jordy hiding in the shed, he thought the boy would be gone by morning. One day turned to a week and then a month. Soon he realized Jordy had no intention of leaving the Bellamy, and that burden sat squarely on Theo’s shoulders.
He’d taken care of the kid, and Jordy had come to rely on him. Why would he leave when he lived a comfy life and Theo took care of his need for food and clothing?
He sighed and Huxley looked up. “Need another break?”
“Nah, we’ve only been workin’ half hour since the last break.” Theo looked down the short row of posts, pleased that they stood upright in resemblance to a line of soldiers. He preferred order, plans and rules—but having Jordy in his life meant he’d thrown out half a dozen of those things and adopted new ones.
