Free Cowboy All Night (Thunder Mountain Brotherhood, Book 5) by Vicki Lewis Thompson

into overdrive. Thanks to their enthusiastic kisses and the promise of more later, her irritation with Josh had been replaced with lust for Brant. Not a bad trade-off.
    She had her phone in one hand and would have loved a picture of his casual pose. He was pure cowboy yumminess. Somehow she didn’t think he’d go for a photo shoot right now, though. It could destroy the mood.
    He watched her approach with a masculine gleam of appreciation in his eyes. She didn’t have to guess what he was thinking about. She was thinking about it, too. The question of whether they’d have sex had been decided. It was only a matter of time.
    A very long time. Their rendezvous was hours away and he was right there. She pictured stripping off his shirt and smoothing her palms over his muscled chest. Then she’d unbuckle his belt and unzip his jeans...that image sent moisture between her thighs.
    “You’re going to have to stop ogling me like that.”
    She lifted her gaze from his crotch and looked into his eyes. “You started it.”
    “That’s not my fault. You have a sexy walk.”
    “I don’t, either. No one’s ever said that before.”
    “I can’t help it if other guys are blind. Watching you walk toward me was like foreplay.”
    “Seeing your hot self leaning against the stall was like the opening scene of a porn movie.”
    “Except in the movie they get to do it.” He grimaced as he pushed away from the wall. “Lady, you are tough on my package.”
    “They say anticipation is half the fun.”
    “Somehow I doubt that’s true in this case.” His smile was strained. “Speaking for myself, I could ditch the wait.”
    “Me, too.” She gazed at him. “Maybe I shouldn’t have asked you to kiss me, huh?”
    “Are you kidding?”
    “If I hadn’t started something you wouldn’t be in pain right now.”
    He chuckled. “Worth it. Totally worth it. But the gang will be here any minute so let’s proceed to Linus and Lucy’s stall while I do my level best to calm down and not grab you.” He turned and ambled away.
    “If you’re worried about accidentally grabbing me, you could put your hands in your pockets for safekeeping.”
    “Ordinarily that’s a great idea, but at the moment the front of my jeans is stretched to capacity.”
    “I noticed.”
    “I’m sure you did, you saucy wench.”
    “Brant, can I say something?”
    “Sure. Just don’t touch my privates. Something might detonate.”
    “I’m really glad we met.”
    “Not half as glad as you’ll be when you’re floating around the cabin tonight.” He paused in front of the stall door and peered in. “Aw, look at that. Cuteness to the rescue. If we concentrate on that we’ll be fine.”
    Aria smothered a laugh. “Oh, my God.” While Lucy nosed in the grain bucket searching for any stray alfalfa pellets, Linus strutted around the stall, neck arched and stumpy tail in the air as if he owned the place. “Has he got attitude or what?”
    “I guess all the compliments I’ve given him have gone straight to his head. Now he thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips.”
    “Which he most certainly is. Can we go in?”
    “Absolutely.” He opened the stall door.
    Linus paused and eyed the new development with curiosity. “Hey, Linus, you handsome devil,” Aria crooned as she stepped inside.
    Linus snorted and tossed his head.
    “FYI, Linus.” Brant came in behind her and closed the door. “The ladies usually prefer a more modest sort of fellow. Just sayin’.”
    “Not me,” Aria said. “I like me a little attitude.”
    Brant chuckled. “Duly noted.”
    “Would you please hold my phone? I’m going to need both hands.”
    “Want me to take some video in here?”
    “Sure, why not?” About that time Lucy glanced up and started toward her. Aria had tucked a few carrot pieces in her jeans pocket before leaving home and she pulled one out. “Hey, Luce. You did good, girlfriend.” She gave the mare a chunk of carrot and scratched under her
