Now, who can argue with that? Certainly, not me.

Josh whipped off his shirt, and then pushed his boxers down, stepping away from them. He watched as Shelly’s eyes zoomed in on his hard-on, but he wasn’t ashamed, and he sure as hell wasn’t going to hide it.

If the way her eyes lit and then came back up to him with pure heat was any indication, she didn’t want him to hide either.

Josh dropped to his knees at her feet and made his way up her sun-warmed body. When he was finally mouth to mouth, chest to chest, and—thank God—hip-to-hip with her, he winked at her.

“Now, what did you want, Georgia? Me rubbing myself all over you?”

* * *

Between Josh’s body, finally touching hers in all the right spots, his sexy voice, and his wink, Shelly was about to come with absolutely no physical stimulation.

However, when he lowered his hips and rocked his hard cock up against her bare mound, she closed her eyes, letting out a small moan of pure delight.

Raising her hands, Shelly gripped his arms where they flexed as he held himself above her while he continued to rub himself against her slowly.

“Shelly, look at me,” he demanded softly.

Shelly found herself obeying without question, letting her eyes open and focus on his.

“You feel absolutely amazing underneath me.”

Shelly felt a grin creep across her lips as she raised one leg, placing her foot flat on the blanket, and lifted her hips to push against his.

“Well, you feel pretty amazing on top of me.”

When he groaned and lowered his mouth to hers, Shelly knew this was different. The emotions behind the actions had changed, and she felt them slowly wrapping around her heart as they bound them together.

His lips met hers in a tempestuous kiss that stripped her mind of anything other than having every part of him she could deep inside of her.

She let a hand roam up and slide into his hair, gripping it tightly. She held his mouth close to hers, so she could devour him every bit as much as he was consuming her. She sucked on his bottom lip and gave it a little nip, producing his rumbling groan and a flex of his hips.

He moved back, inching down her body to her breasts, and finally—thank God—took one of her hard nipples between his lips. He sucked on one while his other hand traced down her naked side to her hip.

Sliding his hand under her ass, he lifted her, grinding her up against his body, as he continued his sensuous assault on her sensitive nipples. Suddenly, Shelly felt a little bite and her back arched as she reached down to grip his hair. His eyes came up to meet hers in question, and as Shelly nodded and widened her legs a little more, he got his answer.

* * *

Josh had his mouth on one of her rosy little nipples and his other hand under ass, pulling her up hard against his body while he ground his aching cock against her.

Fuck, she’s on fire, and I want to be burned by her.

He moved his attention to her other nipple, licking and biting it before ending the delicious torment with a strong suck that had her arching and begging for more.

Smiling against her skin, he came back up her body, and then kissed her with everything he had. He slid his tongue between her parted lips, mimicking the very act he so desperately wanted. As he changed the angle of his head, for a deeper kiss, he felt her hands slide down his back to grip his ass, pulling him up hard against herself. Both of her legs were bent now, cradling his hips between her thighs. As she thrust her pelvis up, finally sliding his cock against her hot mound, he knew it was time.

Raising himself up above her, he looked down at her, laying there beneath him and the sun, and then he rocked his hips so the head of his erection slid between her wet folds.

As her mouth parted and her eyes fluttered shut, he pushed his hips forward and slowly let himself sink into her. He kept his eyes on her face as her mouth let out a moan and her eyes opened, latching onto his. He pushed forward, letting more of himself slide deeper inside her warm, wet heat. When he finally bottomed out, he lowered himself down slowly.

 “I’m so lost in you, Georgia. I don’t even know where you end, and I begin. You feel so fucking amazing. I want to stay here forever,” he professed softly.

* * *

Shelly blinked as she raised her hands to grip Josh’s ass, pulling him in deeper, if that was possible. She was trying to comprehend what he had just told her, but instead of letting the full impact of his emotional confession sink in, she chose to make light of it and deal with feelings later.

Now, as he braced himself above her on arms she wanted to bite and lick, she couldn’t help but roll her hips up and reply, “Well, that might make it difficult for me to walk.”

She watched as Josh pushed his hips down toward her. His face was serious, knowing exactly what she was doing, but he chose to once again let her get away with it.

“Let’s see if I can make it difficult for you to walk tomorrow anyway.”

Shelly groaned at his response, and then she felt him pull slowly out before thrusting back in. She held onto his ass as it flexed and bunched with each strong slide.

He kissed her beneath her ear, and then did something she hadn’t expected. He rolled them over, and Shelly was now sitting on top of a hot, tense wall of male muscle.

Oh, hell yeah!

Looking down at a strained-face Josh, Shelly placed her hands on his chest and started to slowly roll her hips. She watched his eyes as they traveled all over her, and then she spotted her hat behind his head. Biting her lip and grinning, she stopped and moved forward, leaning over him, which caused him to slip from her body.

“Shelly, what’s wro—” he started.

Then, he saw her move back to sit on his thighs with her hat in her hand.

Smiling down at him, she placed her cowgirl hat on her head before she reached down to grip his cock at the base. Lining it up with herself, she rose up on her knees, and then slowly sank down onto his waiting hardness. She heard his groan and watched as his eyes opened, focusing on her.

“Jesus, Georgia, you’re my every fucking fantasy right now come to life.”

Shelly grinned, licked her lips, and then brought her hands up to play with her breasts as she worked herself on his cock.

She felt him buck up his hips as his big, strong hands gripped her thighs, and she rode him like he had told her he wanted.

As the tempo changed and Josh started to breathe harder, Shelly leaned down and braced her palms against his chest. Rolling her hips up and down as he thrust along with her rhythm, she arched her back and clamped her legs hard around his waist. His mouth opened on a loud groan, and Shelly came right along with Delicious Daniels.

With the sun streaming down on him through the oak leaves, Josh was stretched out on his back as the naked woman on top of him pressed her ear to his chest, tapping her small fingers along to the sound of his heart.

“You have a solid heartbeat. It’s steady and strong,” she told him.

Josh felt a smile form, and then he chuckled. “Oh, for a minute there, I thought you were going to tell me I had something else that was nice and solid.”

He watched as Shelly looked up at him, grinning, from where she was sprawled across him.

“Well, that, too. But, no, I was listening to your heart.”

Josh ran his hands up and down her smooth skin and ended by cupping her sweet ass, pulling her further up his body, so her mouth was within kissing distance. He leaned his head up, pressing his lips to hers.

“That was pretty amazing, cowgirl.”

She grinned against his lips. In her Southern voice, she said, “Well, you know how that lil’ ole saying goes, sugah. Save a horse and ride a cowboy.”

Josh groaned, rolling his eyes. “Please, not the accent,” he told her as she squirmed around on top of him.

“What do ya mean, sugah? I thought you liked my lil’ bit of country.”

Josh laughed as he hugged her close, kissing her right smack on the lips. “That’s the problem. I’m tired, and I like it too much.”

He heard her giggle.

She pronounced in the best country twang she could, “Well, what good are ya to me then? I need me a cowboy who can ride all night. Not one who is done after one lil’ ole session.”

Josh gripped her ass, rolling her over onto her back as she squealed with laughter.

“Okay, Georgia, but remember, you asked for it.”

“Oh, I nevah forget a challenge, cowboy. Now, giddy up!”

Josh groaned as she winked up at him with a sassy smile and smacked him on the ass.

Oh yes, Shelly Monroe is trouble with a capital T, and I love it.

Chapter Sixteen

Around two hours later, Josh was driving them back to the house. As he turned onto her parents’ drive, Shelly was sitting on the far side of the truck, facing him, and Mutley was lying down on the back seat.

He looked over at her and winked, and Shelly felt a delicious thrill all the way to her toes. They had just spent the morning down by the river laughing, making love, and in Shelly’s mind, falling further down the rabbit hole.

When they got closer to the house, she saw her father’s truck parked off to the side. As her eyes moved to the front porch, she saw him sitting on the top step, watching their approach. All of a sudden, last night’s dinner and her conversation with her mother this morning came hurtling back with full force and clarity.
