Her flesh swelled against his palm, her nipple hardening. His thumb moved back and forth across the tight little pebble. They stood there, panting together. His touch gentled, and his words became beguiling. āCome on, Baby. You donāt want to be a virgin forever, do you?ā His mouth lowered and he took a gentle kiss from her parted lips. āI can make it good for you. You donāt need to be scared. I wonāt hurt you. It wonāt hurt at all.āShe pulled away from him, accusation in her eyes. He stood in front of her, blatant masculinity dripping from his pores. He had a dominant nature, and she felt its intensity now.His eyes were riveted on her, his nostrils flaring. Goddammit! He had sworn to himself that he wasnāt going to try to seduce her, and then he had gone and done just that. āShit.ā He turned away and dug his cell phone from his pocket, flipped it open and pressed a button. He spoke into the phone. āYeah, get back here and take her back to the house.āHe ended the call and slipped the phone back into his pocket. āIām not going to apologize. Youāre playing with fire and you know it. You better watch out, little girl, because youāre going to get burned. I want you to get back to that house and stay there. You can go to the barn and see those damn skunks, but thatās it. Nowhere else.
