Savanna grabbed the wrapper out of my hand and took it upon herself to apply it to my hard shaft. She pushed me on my back and sat on my knees. I had to smile when her eyes took their first real look at my whole body. I sensed the hint of a smile cross her face when she looked at how ready I was for her. I felt the condom sliding slowly down my shaft and Savanna’s hands sliding up and down it a few times before she came up to kiss me again. My tongue found hers and I licked it outside of our mouths. My head made its way to the center of her neck and I sucked it before licking my way to a new spot.

Her eyes found mine as I shifted her into position. When I slowly slid inside of her, she let out a small cry. It had been a while for her and I could really tell. I moved slowly at first, but soon her hips moved in sync with mine.

I flipped Savanna on her back and looked into those pretty eyes of hers. My lips brushed against her black eye and then the cheek that I had stitched up. I kept my nose on hers and let our lips brush as I felt her climax. When her body tightened with me inside, I could feel myself letting go. I collapsed on top of her and buried my head into her long brown hair. We lay there holding each other, trying to catch our breath.

I grabbed one of her hands and held it against my lips. When I felt her body shaking, I turned to look at her.

She was crying.

Chapter 10

Savanna

I never thought I would sleep with someone other than Ty, especially his cousin Colt, who had been so out of my league my whole life. Colt held onto my hand as he looked over at my tear-filled eyes. It was so emotional for me, and I didn’t know how to explain it to him. I didn’t even know if he would understand. The last thing I wanted was for him to get mad at me for crying.

It had been amazing. The way he touched me and how perfect his lips felt when he kissed me. I loved every second of it.  I couldn’t help but feel like I was betraying Ty and I didn’t know what to say when Colt was asking.

“Savanna, did you hear me?” he asked again.

“Sorry. It’s been a while, that’s all. I guess I just wasn’t prepared for it to be so…so emotional,” I admitted.

Colt rolled over and ran his hand down my chest and in between my breasts. “Did I hurt you or make you feel uncomfortable?” he wondered aloud.

I let out a small laugh. He had no idea how wrong his assumptions were. “No, of course not. It felt wonderful. I feel ….amazingly wonderful, Colt. I swear,” I confessed.

I did feel wonderful. I wanted to stand up on the bed and scream how amazing it was to be laying naked next to him. I wanted to shout out to everyone how I had just slept with the hot guy everyone lusted over as a kid.

“Are you having regrets? I won’t be mad, Savanna,” he said.

I closed my eyes for a second and turned on my side, propping my head up with my hand. His fantastic chest was inches away from my face and I finally gave in and let my head lay against it. I ran my fingers across the top of it. “If we didn’t have some kind of guilt for what we just did then we would both be heartless, but I don’t regret it. It was so perfect, Colt. I didn’t want it to end honestly.”

Colt’s arms finally wrapped around my back and pulled me back into his arms. I felt his lips kiss the top of my head and he held his face in my hair. “I don’t regret it either.”

“What do we do now?” I asked.

I heard him sigh. “Do you really want to talk about this right now? My body feels like jello and having you laying here naked prevents my brain from working properly,” he joked.

We both let out small laughs. I stroked a tiny patch of hair in the center of his chest.

“I can’t believe we just did that,” I confessed.

“Yeah, I didn’t see that comin’, but it sure felt nice,” he agreed.

I kissed his chest and closed my eyes. “It felt great.”

Colt and I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again I was still in his arms. I felt so safe here with him. After all of the brutal things people had said and done to me, I had finally found a safe haven. He wanted me to stay and I couldn’t bear to leave, not when he was being like this.

I think every girl I knew at some point had fantasies of Colt Mitchell and here I was lying naked in his strong arms. It was surreal.

I couldn’t stop thinking about his lips and how good they felt as they kissed every part of my body. He knew how to touch a woman and I admired that he made a point to pleasure me first. Ty had never worried about that, in fact I couldn’t think of one time he had done that before taking care of himself first.

I hated comparing them, and it was probably some unforgivable sin, but I just couldn’t help it. It was the only thing I had to compare to. I was just so amazed at how passionate our encounter had been. Perhaps it was because he was an adult and had been with other adults. A feeling of jealousy rushed through me as I thought about Colt being with other, more experienced women.

I started getting myself upset, thinking he was just being nice. I didn’t have much experience, so I just assumed that I couldn’t compare to some of the women he had been with.  I hated that and I couldn’t help but think I could never be good enough for someone like Colt.

Colt

So I did it. I slept with my cousin’s girlfriend. I should of known better to involve myself in her problems and spend the past couple days alone with her. Now, I didn’t want to let her go. I understood why she was so special to him and how he couldn’t do it either.

I wanted to feel guilty, hell I wanted to regret it, but I just couldn’t. Every inch of her skin was like kissing heaven. Savanna was beautiful and my most favorite part about her was that she really didn’t know it.

I didn’t understand how everyone could turn their backs on someone like her. I wanted her to know she could count on me as a friend. I really hoped that having sex with her didn’t ruin that friendship. In the past I had treated her meanly, but now I wanted to make up for it. She deserved to be happy and to smile.

I kissed her on the head again and felt her stirring. “How do you feel?”

She sat up and stretched her arms before looking in my direction. She seemed so relaxed. “I feel better than I have in a long time actually. How bout you?”

I started to laugh. “Yeah, I kinda feel great myself.”

She started to climb out of the bed and I grabbed her and pulled her back. “Wait! Where are you goin’?”

She pushed me away. “I have to pee.” I got a smile as she kissed my lips. “Is that okay?”

I brushed my lips against hers. “As long as you come right back.” Before letting her climb out of the bed again, I kissed her once more.

She turned around and smiled at me as she made her way out of the bedroom.  She looked so beautiful naked. I shook my head, still in shock that we had just had sex. I tucked my arms behind my head, closing my eyes and replaying how every inch of her body felt. I think I would be okay if we never left this bed.

I hadn’t heard her come back in the room, but I knew it when she jumped back on top of me. “I’m hungry,” she said as she bit down on my chin.

I flipped her over on the bed and tickled her sides. She began laughing hysterically. “Stop it, please!” she begged in between my tickle attacks.

I grabbed both of her breasts and shook them in my hands. She tried to get free of me, but I was too strong. Finally she yelled, “Stop it or I will put my clothes back on.” I stopped immediately.

“We can’t have that now,” I said as I winked at her and climbed out of the bed. She propped herself up and watched me walking toward the door.

“What’s that?” she asked as I turned away from her.

I knew what she was asking. “I am surprised you didn’t notice it sooner.”

“Oh my God, Colt, does that say ‘YOUR NAME’?” She burst out laughing.

“Well, yeah, it does,” I admitted.

“What the hell would you do that for?”

“It was my first tattoo. I thought it would be funny to tell everyone their name was on my ass,” I confessed.

She put her hand over her face and tried to hide the laughter.

“Shall I put on some shorts?” I teased.

“No way! I could watch you walk around all day,” she confessed while biting down on her lip.

I smiled and felt my cheeks warming up. It was funny that someone like Savanna could make me blush. I didn’t remember the last time I had felt embarrassed.  “Keep talkin’ to me like that and I will come back in here and kiss you all over again,” I threatened.

“Please do!” she yelled as I headed to the bathroom.

Before heading back into the room, I ran into the living room and pulled the cowboy hat off the mounted deer head on the wall. I set the hat atop my head and leaned my naked body against the bedroom door. “I hear someone in here was looking for a cowboy to tame her every desire,” I kidded.

She stuck her fingers in her mouth and giggled. The best part was how her eyes lingered up and down my body as I stood there posing.

“So do I have the job?” I asked while still standing in the same spot. “Gettin’ kind of cold here, darlin’”

She shrugged her shoulders and gave me an ornery look. “I guess you will do.”

I ran onto the bed and grabbed her body, pulling it into mine. “I will do, huh?”

She kissed me softly and grabbed the hat off my head. I watched her sit it between my legs and giggle as she did it. “Can I take a picture of you just like that?”

“You’re being serious, aren’t you?”

She had already climbed out of bed and went rummaging in her purse. She pulled out her phone and got a weird look on her face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

She shook her head. “Nothing. It’s just Brina and my mom checking on me. I texted them both that I am fine.” She held the phone toward me as she began smiling again. “Say cheese you sexy cowboy.”

I tried not to laugh, but I couldn’t help it. “Should I worry that my naked body will be all over the internet in the next hour?”

She bent over laughing and shaking her head. “I wouldn’t do that to you, well unless you really pissed me off. Then maybe I would,” she teased.

Savanna climbed back on the bed, lifted the hat away, put it on her head, and climbed on top of me. “Maybe later I can see how many seconds it takes for you to buck me off.”

“So now I am some wild bull?” I said as I sat her body up straight and placed gentle kisses around each of her breasts.

“Actually you may be too tame,” she snickered and looked down at my growing shaft. “Then again, I think you might have a little fun left in ya.”

“I will show you fun you little tease.” I reached in the drawer and grabbed another condom, quickly ripping the wrapper with my teeth. I saw her wicked smile as I did, and immediately I flipped her over and slid right inside. She gasped in shock because it happened so fast. Savanna was on the bed on all fours, still wearing that hat. I pulled at her hips and grinded myself into her as hard as she could take. She screamed out in pleasure, but never asked me to stop or slow down. I reached out, cupped both of her breasts into my hands, and continued.

“Don’t stop!” she screamed.

I kept grinding against her. “Oh God Savanna, I can’t hold it,” I yelled.

I heard her cry out too just before I collapsed over her back. I grabbed the cowboy hat that had fallen on the bed and put it back on my head. “Looks like there is a new sheriff in town, pretty lady.” I winked before falling on the bed next to her.

We both busted out laughing.

Chapter 11

Savanna

Colt and I spent the rest of our day in bed. We only got up to make something to eat and drink, and go to the bathroom. I had to admit that spending the day like this was another thing I had never experienced. Ty and I never had enough time to do those types of things, but since everyone else in my life had pretty much cut me off, I had all the time I wanted.

Colt held me in his arms all night and we talked until both of us finally fell asleep, mid-conversation. He was so easy to talk to and even on topics where we didn’t agree, he was still understanding of my opinions.

The next morning he got up and made us breakfast. He tried to serve it to me in bed, but I insisted on getting up. We sat and watched some sport network that he seemed to love for quite some time. I finally got up and washed the dishes before hopping in the shower.

I was shocked when I heard the bathroom door open. “What are you doing in here?” I asked, feeling uncomfortable.

“Well I was gonna join ya, but your acting like I never saw you naked before,” Colt said as he closed the curtain back up.

In a panic that I made him upset, I ripped the curtain back open as the hot water was falling over my naked body. “Touchy! Geesh. Hop in. There is plenty of room,” I said nervously.

I had gotten one shower with Ty and the whole time I felt so uncomfortable, but after everything I had experienced in the past twenty four hours, I couldn’t believe that I was even considering being modest. Colt had touched parts of my body that I had never seen before; surely I could handle standing under some falling water with him.

He finally climbed in with me and cleared his throat. “Is this your first time being washed by someone since your mamma did it when you were little?” he joked as he lathered up his hands and started washing my back.

I had to laugh at his smart-ass comment. Shaking my head, I tried to focus on where his hands were and what they were doing. “No, it isn't my first time. But, in all the years I was with Ty, I never experienced anything like we have in the past day. You are just so attentive with everything you do. I love it and am also scared to death by it.”

His soapy hands reached around and started massaging my breasts. I closed my eyes and felt his chin sit on my shoulder. “If you are ever scared, you just need to tell me and I will stop. I don’t want to hurt you.”

I turned around and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. “I don’t want you to stop, Colt. I am having such a good time with you. I just hope you can be a little patient with me. This is all so new and moving so fast. I am not as experienced as you,” I admitted.

He pulled away and started washing himself. Within seconds, he was rinsing his head and climbing out of the shower.

“Colt, Are you mad at me?"

He was wrapping his towel around his waist when I opened the curtain. He immediately handed me a towel by wrapping it around me. “No! Of course not. I just, well I feel so comfortable with you and it makes being with you feel so natural, darlin’. I guess I should have considered it wasn’t the same for you.”

I jumped out of the shower and came within inches of his glistening wet chest. “Colt, I don’t want to slow down. I promise that I don’t. I feel the same, well kind of like we have known each other for so long and that’s why this is so easy for us.”

He placed his hand on my cheek and leaned down to kiss me. “I’m sorry if I did rush you though. I have this problem with seeing things I want and thinking I can just take them. So, darlin’, if you are ever feelin’ overwhelmed, well then you just tell me.”

I grabbed the edge of his towel and pulled him closer. “Colt, will you take me out to eat before I have to get back to the dorms?” I asked.

He smiled. “Are you sure you are ready for that? What happens when people see us? You know they’re goin’ to talk.”

This probably was the wrong place to have this conversation, but it needed to be done. “I have spent the last six months trying to make up for breaking your cousin’s heart and causing something terrible to happen to him. I have prayed and I have wept. I have begged and pleaded for forgiveness. But, nothing happens. Maybe he will never wake up. Everyone thinks that I deserve to be miserable.”

Colt put his arms around and held me tight. “I don’t.”

“I know you don’t, but everyone else does. I have become afraid to interact and associate with people in fear of what they were saying about me. I have heard the rumors about how many girls Ty was sleeping with weeks before the accident, but I stood by and spent every moment by his side. How long am I supposed to wait? It has been six months and there hasn’t been any change, Colt. I will love Tyler forever, but you’re right. He would want me to live. I know that much. Maybe being with you isn’t exactly what he would have had in mind, but you are the only person in months to give a damn about me. I’m not asking for some kind of commitment, but just a promise that you will be my friend. Because right now, you are the only one I got!”

Well I had Brina, but she wasn’t exactly being there for me as much as I needed her to be.

I took a deep breath and looked into Colt’s eyes. He flashed a smile across his face and leaned his forehead on mine. “I will be whatever you need me to be, Savanna. I promise you I will.”

It was funny how Colt kept saying the right things. I wasn’t sure about what I was going to say to him until the words came out of my mouth. Sure, I enjoyed being with Colt, but if I wanted whatever it was we had to work, I needed to let go of hoping that I would ever have something again with Ty.

I wanted to believe that someday he would wake up and everything would be the way it was supposed to be, but I had given up so much and lost everything that meant anything to me. I just wanted to breathe again. I needed to. I’d obviously just jumped into the biggest step by being with Colt. Part of me wondered if I would be considered a whore. I kept trying to rationalize what I had done. I was an adult and I made an adult decision to sleep with a beautiful man. I didn’t understand how I could feel so good and so sad all at the same time.

Colt

Savanna was hinting around that maybe we had rushed things. She hadn’t come out and said it that way, but I felt bad that she thought it.

I shouldn’t have gotten involved, or kissed her for that matter, and everything after that, well that was all on impulse. The truth was that I really liked Savanna. She was beautiful, witty, and such fun to be around. Anyone that couldn’t see that was a damn fool.

After following Savanna into the bedroom, I watched her looking around through the bag she had gotten from the house last night. She seemed content with what she had and scurried back to the bathroom. I shook my head and laughed as she walked by. I sure wasn’t used to someone being so modest around me. Hell, most of the time girls were all but trying to rip their clothes off in front of me. I think that’s why I really like Savanna. She was nothing like anyone I had ever been with.

My ex, well she wasn’t someone that your parents are proud of. She grew up in a double wide outside of town, with her alcoholic daddy and younger brother. When I met her, she was bartending, and trying to keep her and her brother from having to move out. Her daddy was collecting disability and the checks didn’t last long once they came in.

I felt bad for her and ended up helping her get caught up before she moved in. Her little brother had joined a band after graduation and went traveling around to different towns in our surrounding states. Her daddy stayed in the trailer and, as far as I know, still lives there. I could only assume that’s where she went when she had had enough of my shit.

Maybe I just had that natural attraction to charity case women. This was the second girl in a row that I had put myself out there for. I’m not saying that my ex and Savanna are similar, because they are nothing alike. Savanna is different and we have a past. Sure, we were just friends, and rocky ones at that, but she was still there in my life. Her beauty overwhelmed me and her hidden sense of humor that she kept bottled deep down inside of her was amazing.

My cousin was a damn fool. Part of me wanted to go to that hospital and just stand there giving him a piece of my mind. I knew for a fact that he fooled around on her.  Every time Savanna brought up me being “that guy” I wanted to turn around and tell her she was talking about the wrong cousin. She couldn’t have been more wrong about me.

Being with Savanna was different. She was sweet, innocent, and her laugh was contagious. I didn’t know what was going to happen between us but I was willing, if she was, to at least try to make something out of this.

After the past few days, there was one thing I knew for sure. This summer just got a hell of a lot better, as long as I had her in my bed.

Because it was Monday, I knew that my aunt and uncle were back on the farm, so I needed to take precautions when I took Savanna to the truck to drive her back to her car. My relatives had just about shunned her from their life and the last thing they needed to see was that she had been here with me.

I didn’t even know how they would react. Hell, my uncle might even try to brawl with me over it. Sure, what we did was probably wrong, but it didn’t feel that way to me. I felt guilty, but also happy and excited. I had made Savanna smile and showed her that she had a reason to look forward. Even if this thing between us turned out to just be one crazy weekend, at least she made the first step to taking back her life. I loved my cousin, but Savanna being at his bedside every single day was just wrong. The truth was that he wouldn’t want her living the life she had been living.

Savanna and I managed to sneak off the farm undetected. I had her duck down on my lap as we drove down the dirt road adjacent to the property, just in case. 

We drove straight to the old barn where Savanna had parked her car the other night to meet me. She hadn’t said much about what was going to happen next between us. I had brought up the topic and she seemed liked she was interested, but women had trouble making up their minds sometimes.

As I put the truck in park, I looked over at Savanna. She had brushed her hair after her shower and let it air dry. It resulted in natural waves all over her head. I couldn’t help but reach over and run my hand through it. “You still feel like getting’ somethin’ to eat?”

She turned to me and smiled. “Of course, Colt. Why would you think I would change my mind?”

I shrugged. “Just makin' sure, darlin'. I don’t want to make you upset.”

She scooted over on the bench seat so that she was closer to me. Her hand played with the collar of my t-shirt. “How about we drop off this hot ass truck at my dorm and grab something in town?”

I smiled and stroked her cheek. “I reckon that’s a fine idea.”

She smiled and looked down for second. When her eyes lifted to meet mine, she bit her lip. “Sounds like a plan.” She started to scoot over and grab the handle to open the door.

I grabbed her arm. “Wait. You forgot my kiss.”

She kept climbing out of the car and turned around once she was out. “I didn’t forget. I just want you to wait for it.” She closed the door and walked over to her car. I laughed at her comment and watched her cute little ass walking away. Someone like Savanna could make me crazy.
