Bad In Boots 02 - Ty's Temptation (12 page)

Ty’s breath expelled in a hiss as if he were trying his best not to lose it. He lowered her to the ground and she felt his knuckles rubbing her sex as he shoved his cock through the opening in his boxers.

Evan’s heart pounded even faster when Ty slid his fingers down her mound to cup her in a possessive hold. The sensation of his fingers skimming across her sex outside her wet underwear only made her heart beat harder. She gripped his shoulders and felt them suddenly tense underneath her fingers.

“Wait. I’ve got a condom.”

She shook her head. “No, don’t stop. I’m on the Pill.”

A surprised expression crossed his face. “A virgin on the Pill?”

She panted, “It keeps me regular.”

Ty nodded and ground out, “I’m glad I don’t have to stop.” His intense gaze locked with hers at the same time he jerked her underwear to the side. Her heart pounded in excited, stuttering jolts at his aggressive action and the sensation of his hand moving between them to grasp his erection.

“Has anyone seen Evan?” a man called down the hall, his voice frantic as he ran past.

Evan froze, her heart pounding out of control. She pushed on Ty’s chest. “I’m sorry. I have to go.”

Ty held her tight for a couple of seconds as if he didn’t want to let her go. When he finally he released her, Evan straightened her underwear and lowered her dress before she opened the door and closed it behind her.

“Dave, over here.”

Ty quickly fixed his pants and buttoned his jacket then exited the room. When he closed the door behind him he saw an older man in a bloodstained T-shirt standing a few feet away talking to Evan in rapid bursts.

“She’s bleeding everywhere.

“That nasty dog attacked her.

“Please, Evan, you’ve got to save our little Sadie.”

“Calm down, Dave.” Evan put a hand on the man’s arm.

The gray-haired man took a couple of deep breaths and nodded. “I’m calm.”

She pulled her hand away and gave him a reassuring smile. “Good. Where is Sadie now?”

The old man’s hand shook as he pointed toward the entrance to the hotel lobby. “She’s wrapped in a towel in the car. My wife’s holding her.”

Evan patted his shoulder. “Okay. Bring her straight to my office. I’ll meet you there in just a few minutes.”

Her
office? “Is the vet back in town then?” Ty asked.

The old man gave him a confused look. “Huh?” He pointed to Evan. “She
is
the vet,” he said before he took off running back toward the lobby.

Ty met Evan’s gaze and saw the truth in her eyes. “You’re the town vet?” The comment Lily made to him earlier now made perfect sense. She must’ve assumed he knew Evan was a vet and wanted to dig at him for choosing Evan over her.

Evan gave him a half-smile. “Guilty.” A moment of silence stretched between them. Hearing Evan confirm Dave’s words, Ty was so surprised, he didn’t know what to say.

Evan pushed a lock of hair behind her ear. “I’d better go meet Dave. It sounds like Sadie’s pretty torn up.”

As shocked as he was by this latest discovery about Evan’s career, Ty wasn’t ready to let her go. “Is there anything I can do to help? Bring you some clothes?”

“I always keep a change of clothes in my car.” She smiled and started to turn away, calling over her shoulder, “I’ll see you later, okay?”

“Sure.”

While Evan rushed toward the entrance of the hotel, Ty’s gaze locked on her sweet ass swaying to the click of her heels. His groin tightened all over again when she cast her gaze back at him one last time before she walked outside. Once Evan was out of sight, the realization he’d almost lost complete control with her against the door in the ballroom sank in full force. Damn, she’d had him so caught up. Ty locked his jaw, both annoyed and relieved at the interruption.

Why had she lied to him about her profession? He steeled himself, his shoulders tensing in sheer determination. He would find out the answer…and he would damn well hold his emotions in check when they had sex. This time around he was going into it with his eyes wide open. No expectations, no strings attached, period. Evan would get what she wanted and so would he—a roll in the hay with a gorgeous woman who was turning out to be made up of layers he never would’ve imagined.

* * * * *

Evan walked inside the Double D’s ranch house as quietly as she could. It was almost eleven. The emergency surgery had taken a lot longer than she’d anticipated, but she’d managed to save the mangled dog. Sadie would look like a refugee for a while, but Evan hoped the small pooch thought twice before tangling with a dog seven times her size again.

Ty was asleep on the couch. Even though he had the air-conditioning cranked up, he slept with no shirt and a thin sheet covering his lower body. She walked up to stare at his gorgeous chest for a few seconds.

The memory of their encounter in the empty ballroom would be burned in her head for a long time to come—the intensity and sheer spontaneity had blown her away. And still…he seemed to hold back a little. A smile tilted the corners of her lips. At least she got to see and feel some of his steely control slip down a notch or two.

Evan let out a quiet sigh and headed for her bedroom and a much-needed shower.

After she’d pulled off her clothes, she stepped under the pounding spray. The hot water pelted her skin like warm, soothing fingers massaging her tired muscles.

She wished she could read Ty’s mind when he found out she was the town vet. He definitely looked surprised, but he hadn’t appeared put off by it. If anything, he’d appeared intrigued. At least Ty seemed to accept her vet status.

She started to pick up her soap but her gaze strayed to Ty’s bar of soap sitting next to hers in the dish attached to the wall.

Evan couldn’t resist picking up the brown-hued bar and inhaling. It smelled of sandalwood and other spices she couldn’t identify. She ran his soap over her skin and reveled in Ty’s scent floating in the air around her. She lifted her forearm, put her nose to her freshly washed skin and inhaled deeply. Her stomach tensed and her heart jerked at the appealing scent. She’d have to ask him what brand the soap was so she could buy some. Then she could keep a bit of Ty with her long after he left.

The thought of Ty leaving made her chest constrict as she shampooed her hair and rinsed the suds out.
Get a grip, girl. You haven’t even had sex with the man yet.
But it wasn’t just about the sex with Ty. He was intelligent and seductively intense. He stuck to his convictions and stepped in without a moment’s hesitation for those who needed help. He was exactly the type of man she wanted to marry one day.

Too bad he lived fifteen hundred miles away. She shut the shower off with a determined twist of her wrist. At least she had him for a couple more days. The sight of the water draining out of the shower, steam floating in the air and Ty’s scent lingering in the room conjured the memory of Ty stroking his erection during his shower.

He’d seemed so in command of himself and his physical responses. The sheer restraint was a turn-on unlike any she’d ever seen. Her vivid thoughts made her sex throb in excited awareness. Shrugging off the seductive sensations gripping her on both a mental and physical level, Evan grabbed the towel off the shower rod and wrapped it around herself.

Once she’d towel-dried her hair, she tucked the towel’s end between her breasts and pulled the shower curtain back. Evan let out a small gasp, her heart racing at the sight of Ty standing in the doorway in his black boxer briefs. He leaned against the doorjamb, not at all embarrassed by his obvious erection pushing the cotton material outward.

He didn’t say a word as he walked toward her. Evan’s pulse leapt at the rugged look of his tousled dark hair and five o’clock shadow. He entered her personal space and his green gaze studied her with a palpable heat that made her breath catch in her throat. When he reached for the towel’s end tucked between her breasts, her stomach flip-flopped then did a triple somersault. As he grasped the fabric, his knuckles nudged her cleavage. The erotic sensation made her knees threaten to give way.

Ty’s gaze dropped to her body while he peeled the towel away. He scanned every inch in a slow, leisurely sweep.

Chill bumps formed on her skin while she waited to see his eyes again. What would she see reflected in their deep green depths?

But Ty didn’t return his gaze to hers. Instead, he surprised her when he dropped the towel on the floor and swiftly picked her up, carrying her out of the bathroom.

Evan’s pulse raced as her arms settled around his broad shoulders. Defined muscles flexed underneath her hands. She ran her palms across his warm skin and inhaled. Ty’s scent reached out and grabbed her at a deep, gut-wrenching level. She pressed her nose against his neck and took another deep breath. Evan realized that no soap could ever capture Ty’s true essence. His own masculine smell mingled with the soap’s aroma to create a scent that totally seduced her.

Ty laid her down on the bed and then straightened to step out of his boxers. When his underwear hit the floor, her gaze locked on his hard erection and her lower belly clenched in response. The man was definitely well-endowed. Her breath hitched when the bed dipped as he placed his knee on the bed.

His hands hit the mattress on either side of her head as he leaned over her. While the light from the bathroom cast his face in dark shadows, she knew her face was fully exposed. She didn’t care. Let him see the desire in her gaze. Maybe it would help him open up a little. Evan placed her hands on his shoulders as he moved closer. She held her breath, waiting.

Ty’s lips brushed against hers in a feather-light kiss. Her fingers flexed on his shoulders as she pressed her mouth against his, ready for more. She ran her tongue along his lower lip and a low growl rumbled against her mouth before Ty pulled away and lay down behind her.

He cupped her breast and used his hold to pull her back flush against his hard chest, aligning his muscular body with hers. Evan sighed in excited anticipation.

She felt him rub his nose in her hair and heard him inhale her scent. Her heart skipped several beats as she waited.

And waited.

A few seconds later, her anticipation turned to disappointment. She felt Ty’s erection against her backside. His fingers were sure to leave imprints on her breast, he held her in such a firm grip, yet the man remained perfectly still.

She reached back and slid her fingers up his neck, then speared them through his thick, silky hair.

“Ty?”

“Shhh,” he whispered against her neck. His heated breath sent shivers skidding down her spine. He released her breast to pull the covers over them then clasped her hip under the covers in a possessive hold.

Still he didn’t move.

Her body ached so much for him, her lower belly began to cramp. Evan closed her eyes for a brief second, seeking patience.

She failed miserably.

“Are we sleeping?” She tried to keep the frustration out of her voice.

Ty pressed his erection against her buttocks as he flattened his palm across her belly. “Yeah, we are. You’ve had a long day and night. You need to rest.”

I
need
you sliding inside me
, she wanted to scream.

She turned over onto her back. “Is this another ‘my way’ thing?”

He chuckled and kissed her on the forehead. “I guess it is.”

Evan faced him and hooked her leg across his thigh.

Shoving Ty on his back, she straddled his hips then rested her sex against his erection. “Hell no. Tonight we’re doing things
my
way.”

Chapter Seven

She felt the tension in Ty’s chest underneath her palms as his hands surrounded her hips.

“I know you’re exhausted, Evan. We can wait until tomorrow.”

Determination washed over her and she began to rock her hips, rubbing her hot moisture along the length of his cock.

The veins in Ty’s neck surfaced and his fingers tightened on her hips, slowing her movements. “Evan,” he warned. The light behind her, now that their positions were switched, revealed the heated desire burning in his gaze and the look of tension on his face. The man wanted her and was mentally working through fighting his desire. The realization made her want him that much more.

Evan leaned forward and touched her nipples to his chest as she whispered against his ear, “Tonight, no more holding back.” At the same time she lowered her entrance against the tip of his cock.

When her soft heat came in contact with his body, Ty’s hips jerked. His action caused his erection to barely slide inside her. It was a surprising, seductive tease.

Evan bit back her moan. She planted a kiss on his neck and lowered her body fully against his, blanketing him with her skin. “I want to feel your body against mine when you slide inside me. I’ve waited long enough.”

Demanding hands gripped her hips and his lips grazed her neck. “Then it’ll be my way,” he ground out as his hips began to rock.

Evan felt his thickness moving deeper inside her, his actions slow, measured, precise. She moaned at the wonderful sensation, but she also realized he was doing it again—taking control while keeping himself in a kind of buffered state, as if he wanted their physical joining without losing control of himself in the process.
