“Higher get to dealing with it then, sir.”

I shiver deliciously—I really like teasing him simply as a lot as he hates being teased. However there’s nothing he can do proper now. He’ll want to shut up the barn and outbuildings earlier than he can come upstairs.

From under, he provides me a glance. The sort that comes with a spanking later. Then he takes Shadow’s reins and disappears round the home, heading to the barn.

Thunderstorms aren’t widespread up on Sovereign Mountain, however I’ve witnessed a handful and so they’re a deal with so long as there’s no destruction. Being up on the mountain provides a main view of lightning for miles. The rain strikes over the grass, making it roll just like the ocean.

I go away the nursery, shifting via the home in my naked toes. Once I step out on the porch, the wind whips my unfastened hair and tears at my skirt. Blowing it up round my thighs.

Rigorously, I transfer down the dusty path and step into the cool barn. Gerard locks Shadow up and pulls the again door shut, securing it in opposition to the wind. He turns and his pale eyes fall on me.

Warmth strikes via me in a wave. God, he seems good. Huge, robust, a lot taller than me. His t-shirt is caught to his chest with sweat, his hair windswept. He by no means minimize it as brief as I’d needed at first and now I don’t care. I really like having simply sufficient size to twist my fingers via when he’s between my legs. And I really like that his temples are dusted with grey.

My toes curl on the chilly concrete.

He takes his hat off and beckons me. I am going, shivering when he takes me gently by the throat and kisses my mouth.

“You’re lovely, redbird,” he says.

My coronary heart thumps. He’s by no means been an eloquent man. He’s by no means given me a romantic speech or written a poem. However I understand how a lot weight phrases maintain for him. When he says I’m lovely, he means it.

I run my hand up his chest. Touching the facet of his face, scratchy together with his beard.

“Ought to we…go inside?” I whisper.

He glances out of the barn, simply because the rain hits the ranch in a torrent. I pull again, shocked by the chilly mist coming in. He strides previous me and pulls the sliding door shut. For a second, it’s darkish. Then our eyes modify to the sunshine coming in from the home windows.

Rain batters on the glass. The horses chew softly within the background.

“I feel we’ll be ready it out in right here,” he says.

I’m a bit disenchanted. Gerard doesn’t like having intercourse in open locations. He’s jealous and it might piss him off if anybody walked in on us. He retains the shades down and has me within the privateness of our room most nights. Sometimes, we’ll fuck in a area, far out of the best way. However by no means the place anybody can see.

“Sure, sir,” I sigh, sinking down on a bench by the door.

He crosses the barn, leaning in opposition to the window. I’m not going to pout—he doesn’t like that and it goes in opposition to our settlement. So I wait in silence till he glances over and the nook of his mouth twitches in his model of a smile.

“You’re not fooling me, redbird,” he says.

I shrug. “I’m not making an attempt to idiot you.”

He shakes his head as soon as. “You’ve acquired that little crease between your brows.”

I contact the spot in query and certain sufficient, I do have a bit frown line. I power it away, placing on an off-the-cuff expression.

“I’m not frowning, sir.”

“You’re. I do know what you need, redbird.”

I shake again my hair and repair my eyes via the window. He slaps his thigh as soon as.

“Come right here,” he says.

He’s utilizing the smooth model of his commanding tone. The one I like finest. I rise and go to him. He turns me round, pulling me again in opposition to his physique, locking one forearm gently throughout my chest, proper over my collarbones. His chin brushes the highest of my hair.

“We don’t have many storms up right here,” he says. “However once we do, it’s good for the land.”

“I like them,” I sigh.
