Taming Tanner (4 page)

“So close, Sophia… I need you…come now!” Tanner demanded.

All it took were those words for her to fall over the edge. She was so far gone that she barely registered the hot splash of his seed filling her. It felt like she was coming for an eternity, and when she did come back to herself it was to find Tanner resting his golden head on her chest. His ragged breath matched hers.

Sophia allowed a soft smile to tug her lips at the warmth of his weight against her. Her legs were going to go numb, but she couldn’t bear to un-wrap them from his waist. She didn’t want him to move.

Tanner knew he had to be crushing Sophia, but the moment he attempted to move, she tightened her hold on him. Sighing deeply, he used all his strength to push up, coming to his feet with her wrapped around him, his cock still secure within her. Gently he climbed on to the bed and laid them on their sides before snuggling closer and settling down.

“You’re going to want to come out of this dress soon,” he whispered as he placed kisses on her closed eyelids and forehead.

Sophia just hummed and tightened her hold on him. Tanner chuckled and pressed another kiss to her forehead before closing his eyes and falling asleep to the rhythm of her breathing.

Chapter Three

“So, you know I’m moving, right?” Tanner asked Sophia as he lay on his stomach. She didn’t answer him right away as she was too busy enjoying rubbing some scented oil into his skin. They’d spent all day making love. In the bed, the shower, the kitchen, and on the floor next to the bed. During their intermissions, they discussed their lives, catching each other up on all the things that had happened in the nearly ten years since they’d last seen each other. Tanner was very much interested in her accomplishments as a baker and she couldn’t help the budding pride she felt at learning about his career finding financial backing for charities. Currently they were taking turns rubbing each other’s sore muscles and feeding each other bites of the cake they’d pilfered the night before.

“Oh, yeah? Where to?” Sophia continued to knead the tense muscles in his back.

“Wherever it is you’re opening the new bakery,” he muttered before turning his face back into the pillows and letting her massage away the tightness in his neck and shoulders.

Sophia laughed. The action caused her breasts to jiggle and her nipples grazed his back, sending the most amazing shivers through her. In one quick motion, he flipped over and settled her above his cock. The moist heat of her immediately cradled him. “So, you’re trying to tell me something, cowboy?”

“Only that I want you to be mine, and I am going to make it damned hard for you to refuse.”

Sophia laughed. “Oh my, are you saying that little old me has tamed the playboy?”

“I’m saying you had me a long time ago, Sophia, you just never realized it.” Tanner smiled up into her face. She loved the way his eyes lit with joy at his confession.

Sophia smiled. Her life just kept getting better. One of her truest friends had just married the woman of her dreams. Sophia was about to become head pastry chef and acting manager of one of the very best bakeries in all of Texas. She’d accomplished so much, and now she’d realized one of her most spectacular fantasies—of taming Tanner.
