Kade: Armed and Dangerous (26 page)

Thinking that way was only going to make things harder when she left.

Roxie bounded up and greeted Kelsey when she climbed out of the SUV, and she scratched
the dog behind her ears. Roxie proceeded to slobber all over Kelsey’s shoes and jeans
as she returned the greeting. There was just enough light from the porch that she
could make her way to the house.

Kelsey caught her breath as a shadowy figure stepped out from behind the vehicle.
When she realized it was Kade, her muscles went limp with relief.

“Kade,” she murmured, hand to her pounding heart.

“I missed you,” he said as he drew her close. His arms felt so good around her, she
never wanted to leave his embrace.

“You scared me,” she said against his chest, her heart still pounding. She poked him
in the ribs with one finger. “Don’t do that.”

Chuckling against her hair, he said, “I came outside so that I’d be able to kiss you
without an audience.”

“I’m glad you did.” Kelsey reached up and brushed her lips over Kade’s. “Just don’t
sneak up on me again. Got that, cowboy?”

“Uh-huh.” He grinned against her mouth. “What do you say to a little walk in the dark?”

She cocked an eyebrow. “Oh, and what do you have in mind, mister?”

With a roguish grin, Kade took her hand. “I want to take advantage of you.”

A low thrill skipped within her belly as he led her into the dark windbreak and past
Trent’s playhouse.

Excitement flowed in her veins at just the thought of what Kade had in mind. Before
she realized it, they were approaching his plane. She tried to stop, fear overwhelming
her and replacing her arousal. “I can’t.” She shook her head. “Not in there.”

Kade gently pulled her toward the plane. “We’re not going to fly anywhere, honey.
I just want someplace where I can have you all to myself.”

Taking a deep breath, Kelsey forced herself to go forward, telling herself it was
all right since they were going to remain on the ground. Just the warmth of Kade’s
big hand covering hers helped to calm the fear churning in her belly.

When they got to the plane, Kelsey’s heart was pounding like mad, but she let Kade
help her into the back and she settled herself on the edge of the seat as if she might
bolt at any moment. It was a little four-seater, not a six like—

No. Don’t think about it. Kelsey.

When Kade climbed in he shut the door behind him. He sat in one of the back seats
and pulled Kelsey onto his lap. For a long time he held her, just kissing her hair
and hugging her close. She smelled that peculiar odor that small planes had along
with dust, as well as night air and Kade’s comforting scent.

Gradually the fear eased and Kelsey relaxed. Instead she focused on Kade. He felt
solid and real next to her and he smelled so good, like testosterone and his own elemental
scent. The fact that they were in a small plane didn’t seem to matter any longer as
she focused on the man who held her so tightly to his chest. She felt safe and secure
and she knew that he would never let anything happen to her.

Kade felt Kelsey’s body relax, and he squeezed her tighter to him.

She turned her face to his and lightly kissed his mouth. “I’m all right now,” she
murmured as her lips brushed his cheek. “And I want you. Right here in the plane.
I want you.”

He trailed his thumb across her lower lip and smiled. “Let’s get you out of those
jeans.”

After she kicked off her shoes, Kelsey sat on the floor and Kade helped her shimmy
out of her jeans and panties. She tugged off her blouse and tossed her bra aside.
In the dim light from the half-moon he could see her voluptuous shape and he couldn’t
wait to get inside her.

Kade unzipped his jeans, releasing his erection. He was still sitting on his seat
and Kelsey rose up, sliding between his thighs and grasping his cock in her small
hand. She lowered her head and gave a little sigh as she slipped her lips over the
head of his cock. She clenched one hand in his jeans and used the other to stroke
his erection while she applied light suction with her mouth.

A groan rose up from Kade as he slid his hands into her silky hair. “You go down on
me so good.”

Kelsey merely replied with, “Mmmmm.”

Kade groaned again and clenched his hands tighter in her hair. “Your mouth feels so
hot and wet on my cock. And what you do with that tongue of yours... damn.”

He was so close to coming that he almost lost control. He held her head still as he
pulled a condom out of his pocket. In the dim light pouring into the plane, he could
see her satisfied smile.

He sheathed his cock and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her up and over his
erection. She sank down on him, his cock sliding into her.

***

“You feel incredible.” Kelsey couldn’t believe how she just couldn’t get enough of
this man. She braced her hands on his shoulders as he gripped her hips and moved her
up and down. “I love it when you’re wearing all your clothes—your jeans and cowboy
hat—and I’m naked and you’re—you’re...”

“Fucking you?” Kade said with a teasing sound to his voice.

Heat rose to her cheeks and she nodded. “Yeah.”

“What about making love to you?” he murmured, and more heat flushed over her.

She didn’t know how to respond, so she just rode him harder.

Her breasts bounced and Kade licked her nipples and gripped her ass, guiding her along
even faster.

Everything around Kelsey blurred until she felt as though she were flying—that the
airplane was gliding and she was riding it out in a storm. But she wasn’t afraid,
she was safe with Kade.

Higher and higher she soared until she came with a shuddering cry that echoed in the
small plane. Kade continued to raise her up and down on his cock and she held on to
his shoulders for support, too boneless to guide her own moments.

Several more thrusts and Kade groaned and climaxed, his cock throbbing in her channel.
He held her still for a few moments, riding out his orgasm until he was spent.

With a soul-deep sigh Kelsey relaxed, her naked breasts pressed against his chest,
his cock still deep within her. “Ready for another round?” she murmured, and Kade
laughed.

“Anytime, sweetheart.” He kissed the top of her head. “Anyplace.”

The next day, after her interview with Alex Grand, Kelsey drove back to the JL Star.
She felt exhausted, although Alex certainly wasn’t the reason she was feeling so poorly.
The rancher was sexy in a hard and dangerous kind of way. No doubt it would take a
hell of a woman to tame that man.

Chickens scattered in front of the SUV as Kelsey pulled up to the ranch, and thoughts
of Kade washed over her. How did she manage to fall so completely for his charm? To
fall so completely...

No.
She wasn’t even going there. She pushed the thought to the back of her mind as she
noticed Chuck’s truck was gone and that Kade wasn’t home yet.

Late-afternoon shadows stretched across the driveway, and when Kelsey checked the
dashboard clock, she saw it was after three. Kade could be home soon, or might come
in as late as seven at night, depending on how his day went. She parked, grabbed her
belongings, and headed for the front door.

Roxie gave Kelsey her usual greeting, slobbering all over Kelsey’s pants. She’d come
to love the rottweiler as much as every person in the family.

The house was locked, and she opened the door with the key the Turners had loaned
her. A note on the fridge said that Sadie, Chuck, and Trent were at the Perez home
for a surprise birthday party for Jamie and would be gone through dinner, and that
Kelsey was invited.

After tossing her purse and laptop onto her bed, Kelsey changed into shorts and a
T-shirt, and wandered into the kitchen, barefoot. The house was eerily quiet, save
for the tick of the kitchen clock. She missed Trent’s chatter, Chuck’s dry wit, and
Sadie’s musical laughter.

And Kade. His presence that filled the room. His touch. His teasing grin.

Kelsey couldn’t hold back a smile, thinking about the time they’d spent together last
night in his plane. She now had at least one positive thing to think about when it
came to small planes.

A sound like a car door slamming came from outside, interrupting her thoughts.

Kade. Kelsey hurried to the bathroom, ran a brush through her hair, and touched up
her lipstick. She smelled Kade’s apple shampoo from the shower, the scent reminding
her of him, the feel of his hair under her fingers. She ached to touch him.

The front door opened and shut, the sound reverberating through the house. She couldn’t
help smile as she walked back to the living room.

He was kicking off his boots and when he saw her he gave her a weary smile. “Damn
but it’s good to see you when I get home.”

Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. “I’ll bet. You just want some good hard sex.”

Kade’s lips quirked into a grin. “I’d have to say that’s an added bonus.”

She laughed and went to him, but he held her off with an upraised hand. “Gotta take
my shower, sweetheart. Been one of those days.”

Kelsey gave him a teasing smile. “How about I lather you up real good, cowboy?”

Kade raised an eyebrow. “I could live with that.”

After he threw his clothes into the washing machine and he grabbed a condom, they
slipped into the bathroom. Kelsey stripped out of her clothes while Kade climbed in
under the spray. She followed him and took the bar of soap he was holding.

She began lathering his whole body, starting with his muscled chest and shoulders
and working her way on down. The soap had a clean outdoorsy scent that she identified
with Kade. Water streamed over her as she soaped his thighs and ignored his erection.

“Turn around,” she ordered him after she soaped him all the way down to his feet.
He looked a little disappointed that she’d ignored his package, but he faced the spray
so that his back was to her.

Still on her knees, Kelsey was now staring at his tight butt cheeks. She sighed.
Yeah, an ass you could just bite.

A bit of mischievousness rose up inside her and she leaned forward so that her lips
were against his wet skin. And then she bit.

“Hey.” Kade turned his upper torso and pulled lightly on her hair so that she was
looking up at him. He had an eyebrow cocked and a spark in his eyes. “Who said you
could bite my ass?”

She grinned. “I did. Now turn around and let me finish the job.”

“Ass-biting wench,” Kade grumbled in a teasing tone.

“Now brace your hands on the wall while I take care of you, mister.”

He obliged and she proceeded to soap the back of his body, up his legs to that fine
ass that she was tempted to bite again. She continued on up to the broad expanse of
his back and his shoulders. Soap and water streamed down his back and shoulders and
water pelted her face and hair.

“Face me,” she demanded, doing her best to sound forceful.

Kade turned with his hands up and a stern look, as if he were being arrested.

Kelsey laughed and started soaping the fine curls around his cock and he lowered his
hands, closed his eyes, and tipped his head back in the spray. She sighed at the sight
of her wonderful man, his power, his masculine beauty.

Her man.

Kelsey shook away the thought and washed his cock, then let the water rinse away the
soap. She set the bar aside in the soap dish. “I want you to stroke yourself now.
I want to see how you pleasure yourself.”

“You mean jack off?” he said, opening his eyes and raising his eyebrows.

She narrowed her gaze. “Do it, cowboy.”

An amused expression crossed his face and he gripped his cock in his big hand. Kelsey
watched in fascination as he worked his erection from his balls to the head, his thumb
rubbing over the tiny hole at the top before sliding back down his length. He studied
her while he did it, and she wondered where her sudden confidence had come from, the
way she was ordering him to do things she’d fantasized about.

She felt so comfortable with him now, like she knew him better than anyone she’d ever
known.

Could he feel the same way?

She lowered her head to lick the top of his cock. Kade released his erection and moved
his hands into her wet hair as she slid her mouth over him, taking him deep.

She loved the way he felt in her mouth, the way he felt in her hand as she licked
and sucked his cock. She loved the way he gripped his hands in her hair and guided
her up and down.

Just as she thought he was about to come, he commanded her, “Stop.” When she looked
up at him, he said, “It’s my turn now.”

Kelsey let his wet cock slide out of her mouth. “Oh?”

“Yeah.” He took her by her shoulders and raised her, then grabbed the condom he’d
left open on the edge of the tub and rolled it over his cock.

“Put your arms around my neck,” he said as he brought her flush against him. Her folds
ached and excitement skittered throughout her when Kade gripped her ass and said,
“Hold on.”

She squealed in surprise as he lifted her up and drove his cock inside her. Kelsey
clenched her legs around his hips and hung on tight as he raised her up and down,
thrusting in and out of her. Water from the shower poured over her head and face,
and it was so like her fantasy that it made her all the more excited.

The power in his arms, his muscles flexing, and the concentration in his expression
undid her. She came so fast it made her head spin.

Kade climaxed moments later and hugged her tightly to him as his cock continued to
throb within her.

Early the next day, when Kade reached the station, Miguel waylaid him in the hallway.
“Owen.”

Kade ran a hand over his stubbled cheeks. “What’s up, Mikey?”

“I’ve got something you’ll want to hear,” Miguel said as he motioned to his office.
Kade followed his ASAC.
