Free Zack (Armed and Dangerous Book 1) by Cheyenne McCray

smoky gaze fixed on her.
    “I love ranching.” Sky swallowed, wishing for a drink of water to soothe her dry throat. “I guess you could say it’s in the blood.” She flattened her palms against the wall behind her. “Your turn. Tell me what you’ve been up to.”
    “Had a nice spread in Texas, enjoyed my work as a fed, and did all right.” Zack bent closer, invading her space. No, more like conquering it. “But I was lonely as hell.”
    She kept her tone light. “What? No friends?”
    “I had friends.” He reached up and traced the line of her jaw, his eyes intent. “But something was missing.”
    At the same moment, the lights dimmed and a slow tune started.
    A shiver skittered through her as Zack trailed his finger down her neck. “How ’bout that dance now, Sky?”

    Sky hesitated, then nodded. The sooner they got this over with, the better. She’d give Zack one dance and then get away from him before she jumped right into bed with the man.
    His hand burned the bare skin at the small of her back as he guided her. He stopped at the edge of the dance floor on the fringes of the other couples, where it was darker.
    As Zack brought her into his arms, her nipples tightened. He swept his gaze over her breasts and gave her a slow, sensual smile that caused her mouth to go even drier. His hands settled on her waist and he moved his hips against hers until she felt his erect cock through her thin dress, pressing against her own softness.
    A thrill blossomed inside her abdomen despite herself. Damn. It felt so good to have him pressed up against her.
    He bent his head next to hers, and Sky automatically moved her hands to his shoulders, letting her body sway with his in time to the music. After the way he’d left her all those years ago, she shouldn’t feel so turned on, but was she ever.
    “Remember the first time we made love?” he murmured in her ear, and she caught the scent of mint on his breath. She could imagine how good he’d taste and almost moaned at the thought.
    Sky shivered at the feel of his mouth so close to her ear, and nearly melted when his lips brushed her earlobe.
    “It was our hideaway.” He pressed her closer along his solid length, all but making love to her on the dance floor. “It was a clear October day and we went horseback riding in the mountains with a picnic basket, a blanket, and a bottle of wine.” His voice was raw, filled with desire. “The sun was shining, and it was still warm enough that you were wearing a pair of tight jeans with a T-shirt. No bra.”
    Her fingers tightened on his shoulders. God, yes, she remembered.
    “I could even see your nipples through the shirt, it was so skimpy.” Zack trailed one finger up Sky’s bare spine and she shivered as he continued, “We went to our secluded spot, our own little hideaway, and it was like we were the only two people left in the world. Then you begged me to make love to you.”
    Sky pulled away and looked up at him with a frown. “I begged you?”
    He brought her back into his arms. “Maybe we both did a little begging.”
    How Zack’s kisses had unraveled her and how badly she had wanted him. Needed him. And it was true, she had begged him not to stop.
    He had smiled, handling her so gently, as if he cherished every part of her. His mouth had teased her nipples, slowly working his way down to her folds. She couldn’t believe he put his mouth on her clit, tasting her until she was writhing, and dying for him to be inside her.
    Before he entered her, he had caressed her clit until he brought her to orgasm. And then he slid into her, taking her slow and easy. She’d cried out from the incredible pleasure rippling through her body once she got past the brief burst of pain as he took her virginity.
    He had stopped, afraid he’d hurt her, but she had ordered him to keep driving into her, clenching his hips between her thighs. Harder and faster he moved within her, filling her, until he reached his own
