Free Cowboy Heat by CJ Raine Page A

the solid wall of him.
    He slipped
his shirt over his head and tossed it on a fallen log. Her heart did a little
flip at the sight of his strong back and that familiar coil of heat spiraled
through her. She could imagine how it would feel to run her fingertips across
his shoulders
    A black
leather belt held his jeans snug to his waist. He had a nice rear encased in
those tight pants. She wanted to see the front of him where that belt met with
the dark swirl of hair that disappeared there.
    As if he
heard her thoughts he turned around and looked up the slight incline to the
trees. She hugged the tree tighter so he wouldn’t notice her. Yet.
    Pulling off
his boots, he slid out of his jeans and wearing no underwear quickly stepped
into the cool water. She could see the swift current of the river increasing
out toward the middle. Everyone knew to stay close to the riverbank.
    When he swam
out a little too far she stood up to watch. He quickly controlled his situation
with strong arms stroking the water and floating with the current for a few
minutes. And then he was diving under and powering back toward land till he
could almost stand up.
    He was the
most beautiful man she had ever seen. He was akin to her standing stallion
which she got enormous fees for his stud service. Power was something to
observe no matter what form it took.
    Crouching
down she watched his every move, how he reveled in the coolness of the water
washing the day’s work from him. Occasionally she could make out a smile on his
face as he rose from the water with rocks in his hand and proceeded to skip
them down stream. A man at play after a hard day’s work. She wanted to be his
hard day’s work. Marie wanted to be that water that swirled around his loins,
his manhood, and his flat stomach.
    Feeling
herself dampen with the desire to touch him, she continued to watch him for a
few more minutes. He was still swimming a ways off the river bank. It was now
or never. She’d been putting this moment off fearing rejection but today she
was determined to get his attention once and for all.
    As she
strolled out of the woods she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted his
name, waving her hand. He looked around and spotted her. He stood up, stock
still and stared as if he couldn’t believe she was there.
    Keeping her
eyes on him and standing as tall as she could, Marie slowly unbuttoned her
shirt.
    “Hey, can’t
a man have a bath in peace?”
    Grinning,
Marie slid out of her shirt slowly and provocatively. Plump round orbs of flesh
shone in the sunlight.
    She had
definitely captured his interest. Unzipping her jeans she lowered them
revealing she too wore no underwear.
    “What are
you doing? You’re going to get me fired.”
    Fired
alright. Fired up, she thought with a wiggle.
    “I’m going
to join you for a swim.” He seemed to be backing further out into the water as
she slowed her steps and made a big deal of removing her boots so she could
kick the jeans off completely. She laughed a little hoping he was growing hot
in that cold water.
    “If your
father catches you doing that, put your clothes back on and act like you’ve got
some sense.”
    Pulling the
rubber band from the ponytail she kept it in during working hours, she shook
her hair to let the long blonde curls cascade across her shoulders. It made her
look older than twenty-five. Since he was thirty-one and she knew he counted
himself too old for her, the boss’s daughter, she would prove today that he was
wrong.
    He didn’t
yell for her to stop as she stepped into the water. Jack simply stood there and
stared. It was chilly and her nipples responded right away. She knew her
breasts were well rounded and bountiful and she had seen him looking at them
before imagining what they would look like without a shirt. Today he would not
only see but have full access.
    Sliding into
the water she swam toward him. It was then she heard him curse loudly and yell again
at her to go back. He turned his
