Free Breathless Temptation [Texas Stallions 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Morgan Fox

tried to pull her hand away. Not because she truly wanted to, but more because of what his touch was making her feel and desire. He had power over her, a power that had her toes curling in her shoes and her body tingling with alarming awareness.
    The same feelings I had with Clay.
    Her chest suddenly felt tight. “Hunter, please,” she breathed.
    He dipped his head close to hers, and she couldn’t help but stare as his mouth-watering lips. With the feel of his warm breath on her cheek, he said, “To be honest, I’d love a lot more than that.”

Chapter Six
     
    Hunter reached up and pulled Delilah into his arms. Her palms pressed flat against his chest as his mouth closed over hers. He couldn’t believe how incredible she felt cradled in his arms.
    Every dream he’d ever had of the perfect woman had always left him wondering if such a woman truly existed. Would he ever find a woman who would love the land as he did? Would he ever find a woman who would cherish him as he cherished and desired her? Would she feel like an angel as he kissed her, held her, and made love to her?
    Judging from how his body roared and responded as he kissed her, he’d have to say yes. She was like the air his lungs were desperate to inhale. Everything about her was as he imagined it would be. Perfect.
    He knew he had to be delicate with her, knew she had feelings for Clay, as well, but he couldn’t allow her to go another day without feeling the passions she evoked in him. Since the moment he’d laid eyes on her, she’d been all he thought about.
    There was a natural instinct to protect her, and when he’d discovered that a man was stalking her, he’d never felt anything like the need that raced inside him, telling him to guard her with his life. He’d felt that jarring force once before when his brother’s wife, Abby, had been hunted by a serial killer. But there was something different this time, something that had him wanting to wrap her in the confines of his arms and steal her away. Keeping Delilah safe, no matter what, and protecting her from danger was his first and only priority.
    As he devoured her supple lips and drank in her essence, he felt her relax in his arms. Pliant and full of passions, he was eager to feel from her, her arms wrapped around his waist and her fingers kneaded the hard flesh of his back. Just the scent of her tickled his senses, clarifying just how much he wanted her.
    His cock jumped in his pants as he pressed himself firmly against her, testing her resolve. He prayed she wouldn’t stop him as he took things further and prayed she felt for him the same intense yearning he did for her.
    Nibbling her bottom lip, he broke their kiss and pressed his forehead against hers. He whispered, “I want to show you something.”
    Her eyes fluttered open, and the blue he had drowned in the first time he looked into her eyes seemed to explode in an array of colors. Crystal-clear water that reflected the deeper, richer azure of a twilit sky was what he saw staring back at him. It was then that he knew she’d follow him just about anywhere, and he was glad.
    Taking his hand, she weaved her fingers around his and told him, “Lead the way.”
    Smiling, he helped her onto his horse, and together they rode back up to the barn. Dismounting, he put his horse into its stall and, without saying a word, climbed up the ladder onto the loft above. Delilah followed closely.
    Amazed by her trust in him, he couldn’t help but feel his chest swell with emotions he’d never thought he’d experience. There was a deep connection to this woman. Maybe it was the accident that had drawn him to her, maybe it was the way she had him feeling needed and respected, or maybe it was something beyond rational thought. Whatever it was, he couldn’t get enough of it.
    Once upstairs, he turned and helped her up, leading her to a blanket that he’d placed out earlier alongside a chilled bottle of wine in a metal bucket of slow-melting ice. For
