Discovering Daisy (6 page)

She shrieked and tried to pull from his arms though he held her easily in place. “You mean that there have been people watching us? Watching what we were doing?” And the thought seemed to horrify her.

He couldn’t help it. He laughed. “No, Daisy they would know that I am here with a woman, that I have claimed her as my woman. But they wouldn’t have watched what we were doing.”

She seemed to relax again but still kept glancing around them. “You should really let me get dressed then, Jacob. Before someone does find us.”

“I kinda like you in just my shirt,” he admitted with a wicked grin. “Even better in nothing but your skin. You are one beautiful woman,” he teased her.

“Then it wouldn’t bother you for one of your brothers to see me in nothing but your shirt or just my skin?” she asked with a wicked grin of her own.

His eyes burned as he rolled so that she lay beneath him on the bedroll once again. “I will share you with no man.” He smoothed his hand up her thigh taking his shirt with the motion. He let his hand find her warm centre, let his fingers feel the heat of her core. “Only I will see the flame that fills your eyes when you find release. Only I will feel the softness of your skin and know the pleasure that awaits inside your body just for me.”

He slid inside her and she realised that he had released his engorged shaft at some point while he was talking. She gasped as he filled her and her legs lifted once more to wrap around his hips. Slow and smooth he rode between her thighs whispering words of love, of happiness, of forever. She was a lucky woman and she would thank God for the rest of her life for sending a man like Jacob into her life. She closed her eyes and held tight to him as he took them once more to a place where ecstasy awaited.

Daisy was finally discovering what life could be when you were with a person who made you feel stronger and better than you were alone. She knew that every day with Jacob would bring new discoveries. As she felt her release approaching she found his eyes with hers and held them as they rode the wave of pleasure together.

Jacob was her future and Daisy was discovering that her future was as bright as the sun in the
noon
sky. She held him tight to her as she felt the wash of his seed deep within her again. Looking in his eyes she saw forever and knew that her life was finally beginning.

From the shadows an old Indian turned and made his way back to where he had ground tied his horse. He should not intrude on such a private moment in his grandson’s life. It made him happy to see his Jacob so happy. And he couldn’t have picked a better bride for his boy. He’d have to remember to stop in on his next jaunt to tell the good Sheriff Duckett that all was well on this front. Perhaps he should disappear for a while and let the two adjust to married life before the young bride spilled the beans. He doubted the girl would hide her joy at seeing her Saviour again. Plus there might be hell to pay when she found out that he spoke as good English as she did.

But all was fair in love. And looking at his Jacob and Daisy, it was easy to see that love was in the air.
