Free Loving You: A Cowboy Romance (Texas Hill Country Romance Book 1) by Mae Martini Page B

did... Soooo, should I be intimidated?” she asked him.
    “No, not at all. Please don’t be. It’s so not what I’m going for here.”
    “Oh, what are you going for?”
    “This,” he said as he pulled her to him and kissed her softly.
    When they broke their kiss, their gaze’s lingered before she turned around and continued her assessment of his home.
    She looked around the huge living room. “It’s so big and airy, and the dark wood, the hardwood floors it’s all so perfect. The stone fireplace is exquisite-”
    “There is one identical to it in the master suite,” he interrupted her.
    She paused and smiled at him. “I’d love to see it sometime.”
    Then she walked around, and he realized he was following her like he was on a leash or something, and oddly enough, he didn’t seem to mind it. He’d follow her anywhere, he thought to himself.
    She led him to the dining room where there was a long shiny table of cherry wood that sat ten, and a large crystal chandelier hanging over the middle of it. With a breakfront and buffet table to round it out, there was still so much room in there. A big picture window with custom drapery gave the room a formal look to it.
    When she paused to take in the room, he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned back into him. He turned her around and stared into her eyes. They were a dark coffee color.
    Cord enjoyed learning to read her ever changing eyes. He knew her excited color, her angry color and now her burning color, which was the darkest so far. What he really wanted to see was the color they would be when he was making her come.
    He kept a hand on her waist, and raised his other hand and placed his index finger at the top of her blouse where material and breasts met. He watched it as it lazily traced the top of one curvaceous mound.
    She watched him watching his finger dip below her blouse in between her breasts and just as lazily come up and trace the top of her other breast.
    He paid close attention to the rise and fall of her breasts, and he raised his eyes to her face and smiled as he took his index finger and placed it in his mouth and sucked on it.
    Annie’s breath caught and Cord loved the effect he had on her. He brought his lips down on hers and crushed her to him.
     
    “Hey, you guys gonna walk around the house all night or what!” Calista shouted from the kitchen. “The wings are almost gone, Cord.”
    Cord and Annie reluctantly pulled apart. He held her hand, and with his free hand, he gently brought it up to her face and swept it across her cheek. “Come on, babe, let’s go eat.”
     
    After they ate, the guys went to the living room, with fresh beers, to turn on the fight. The main event wasn’t starting till around 9:00 pm, but they watched the other, lesser known fights, while the girls were in the kitchen tidying up.
    The last thing Cord wanted to do was watch a fight with his buddies. All he could think about was Annie. How soft she felt, how beautiful she looked, how hot her little body was, how warm it would feel underneath his…
    “Cord, man, did you hear me?” Dan asked.
    “Ahh, yeah, yeah…. I don’t know…. What?”
    “Geez, I asked if you were going to ask Annie to the fundraiser at your parent’s house next month.”
    Every year since 2008, Cord’s parents held a fund raiser for our military heroes. It was a big catered affair with professional chefs manning large barbeques and smokers. There was a large tent with buffet tables and seating, and another large tent for dancing and entertainment. Along with representatives from each branch of the military, wounded warriors and politicians, you could always count on live music from a renowned recording artist or two to show up, and there was a rodeo that he and his brother participated in.
    Shit, the fund raiser, thought Cord. “Why do you want to know that?” he asked.
    “Because, if you don’t I will.”
    “I don’t think so,” Cord said,
