Free Cowboy Love by Sandy Sullivan Page A

she watched a small smile cross his lips right before he took hers. The kiss was soft at first, but when she accepted him, he deepened the caress, moving his lips over hers. She felt him groan deep in his chest as he wrapped his arms around her, as if he couldn't get close enough. The kisses before had been fantastic, making her want him like no other, but this one, this one kiss held all of the wants and needs of his heart in one touch.
    Oh God,
she thought, right before his tongue touched her lips, seeking entrance into the soft cavern, and all logical comprehension left her mind. Her lips parted, allowing him access to the moist inside of her mouth as her own moan reached the surface.
    Their tongues danced, each wanting something from the other, but not exactly sure what. Their breathing came in a short, rapid tempo as desire spiraled out of control. Breaking the kiss, Tanner put his forehead against hers, closing his eyes.
    When he opened them again, her own need rushed through her as she almost threw caution to the wind at the heat in his gaze. She watched a small, wry smile cross his lips as he brought his fingers up to skim gently across her jaw. She closed her eyes to his touch, wanting more as she snuggled against his hand.
    "We need to stop this before it gets out of control," he whispered against her parted lips, nibbling at the corners.
    "I know," she moaned in return, a shiver running down her spine as his lips touched hers for the second time.
    "I didn't bring you up here to fuck you until you scream, although the thought has crossed my mind several times since I met you," he murmured, lifting his head. His hand moved to cup her breast and she pushed her now taut nipple against his palm, craving the friction of his caress. She tasted the passion in his kiss, as desire raced along her veins like she had never experienced before.
You want him, Amy. You want to know what it would feel like for him to do exactly what he suggested, fuck you until you scream,
her heart whispered as her body reacted to his touch.
    A moment later, he pushed away from her.
    Bewildered, she looked at him, wondering what the hell just happened.

    As the desire between them zinged out of control, he felt the cell phone in his pocket vibrate. He pushed Amy back as he reached into for it. His breaths came out in rapid pants when he looked at the screen. Tanner groaned out loud as he heard Amy ask who it was.
    "Chris." He seethed.
I'm going to personally kill her.
    Amy took a few steps away from him as he flipped open the phone. "What do you want, Chris?"
    "I'm checking on you two since I couldn't reach Amy."
    "Her cell is in the truck I imagine."
    "Let me talk to her." Amy reached for his phone. He handed it to her, right before he turned to walk near the bluff.
    Use this to cool off, Tanner. You need to get yourself under control before something happens that you'll both regret.
He stared out at the lights as the murmurs of the conversation reached him
    "Hi, Chris," Amy said with a shaky voice.
    He laced his fingers behind his head, breathing deeply, trying desperately to bring his raging desire to a tolerable level.
    "As Tanner said, it's in the truck inside my purse."
    Amy walked a little closer, close enough he could smell the sweet scent of her perfume.
    "Somewhere overlooking the town."
    Chris must have asked where we are.
    "Yeah, I guess so."
    Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring her up here.
    "Bye." The phone clicked shut and Amy walked over, touching him on the shoulder, bringing his attention back to her as she handed it back to him.
    "Chris told me to tell you to behave yourself." Amy tried to joke as he stiffened.
"Did she?"
    "Yes. She also said this is make-out drive?"
    "They do call it that around here." He chuckled.
    "Every town has one."
    "Probably so." He shrugged as he said, "I guess I shouldn't have brought you up here."
"Why not?"
    "I don't want you to get the idea I was trying to come on too strong." Their
