Free Deadly Desperados by Lily Harper Hart

how you feel?”
    “She’d better,” Jake said. “I tell her every chance I get.”
    “Women can’t help themselves from feeling insecure sometimes,” Mary said. “Ally is all bluster and bravado, and she clearly doesn’t suffer from self-esteem issues, but she’s still a woman who wants nothing more than for the man she loves to tell her how he’s feeling.
    “No one is pressuring you to move faster than you’re ready for,” she continued. “Just … keep Ally’s feelings at the forefront as you move forward. I know she’s your future, Jake. Just make sure she knows it, too.”
    Jake sighed. “I’ll keep that in mind, Aunt Mary.”
    “Good. Make sure she knows that she’s absolutely adorable in that outfit, too.”
    “Oh, she knows that,” Jake said, turning when he heard James clear his throat.
    “Um, Mandy isn’t feeling well so we’re going to go to bed early,” James said, faux concern on his face. “I think she just needs a good night’s sleep and then she’ll be back to her usual self.”
    “I told you,” Jake muttered.
    “Okay, well, have a good night’s rest,” Mary called out to them.
    “We will. Thank you.” James linked his fingers with Mandy’s and started pulling her into the darkness, whispering something Jake was convinced was filthy enough to burn the ears off anyone eavesdropping.
    “Have fun kissing her grits, too,” Ally called to their backs, causing everyone around the campfire to chuckle appreciatively.
    “Thank you, Ally,” James shot back.
    “You’re welcome!”
     
    JAMES was on Mandy before the door to the cabin even closed, his hands bold and mouth needy as he slipped his fingers underneath his wife’s flimsy skirt. Her skin was soft to the touch, and she quivered with anticipation when he finally wrenched his mouth from hers.
    He lifted her body, carrying her to the dresser before lowering her. He kissed her again, slipping his tongue into her mouth as he reached for the tank top. He pulled back long enough to whip the top over her head and reveal the peek-a-boo lace bra underneath.
    “That’s pretty,” he gasped. “Does it unclasp in the front or the back?”
    “The front.”
    James didn’t waste time, his fingers deft as they unclasped the bra and pulled it from Mandy’s heaving chest. Once she was naked from the waist up, James removed his own shirt and pressed their bare skin together. There was nothing he loved more than feeling their skin collide – even if it was just so they could cuddle together to sleep.
    “I love you, baby,” James murmured, slamming his mouth into Mandy’s again. For some reason, the fresh air and Mandy’s skirt and boots kept James’ mind busy all day. After a few more minutes of heavy groping and making out, James reached to the back of his wife and unbuttoned her skirt. She leveraged herself off the dresser so he could pull the skirt and her panties down at the same time – leaving her completely naked, except for the boots.
    “Yeah, this is definitely going to work,” James said, cupping Mandy’s breasts with his hands before lowering his mouth and sucking in a turgid nipple, rolling his tongue over it and causing her to writhe.
    Mandy’s head rolled back as she moaned, her hands reaching for James’ jeans so she could unbutton them. James helped her, never moving his mouth from her nipple as he shed his jeans and boxer shorts, leaving them in a pile on the floor.
    James pushed Mandy back so she was reclining against the wall, earning a curious look from her as he lifted her thighs and knelt in front of her. Instead of answering, James blew out a heated breath on her warm core.
    “James!” Mandy gripped his shoulders, her short fingernails digging into his muscles.
    James slipped his tongue between her folds, gripping her thighs tightly as she jerked at the tactile sensation. He licked her up and down, working her into a lather before attacking her pleasure center with gusto.
