time, Tucker pulled first by the barest sliver. She had no idea the competition would be so fierce.
When it ended, they announced Tucker as the champion.
Colleen jumped to her feet, screaming and cheering for him, knowing what each win meant to him. He grinned and waved at the crowd, his eyes hunting the stands.
When they found her, arms waving, his face nearly split in two he grinned so big. He held up the trophy for her to see, and she made a show of nodding and clapping above her head.
Eager to get his horse home and loose, they picked up a quick dinner on the way. She brought the food in while he got the horse settled for the night.
While he was busy, she opened a bottle of wine for them and poured a couple of glasses. They ate and talked excitedly about all the other competitors and how they’d performed.
After they’d eaten and the conversation had calmed a bit, Tucker looked at her and gave her the sweetest smile anyone had ever blessed her with.
“I’m glad you were there today. It really… it’s nice to be able to share the win with someone.”
“You’ve been alone a long time,” she said, studying his features as he looked at her.
He nodded. “I have.”
“But you’re not alone anymore.”
Tucker’s brows pressed together and he looked down at his wine glass.
“Are you going to leave?”
“What?”
“Well, I mean the competition is over, and I, well I thought…”
“Did you think I was only going to stay until the competition was over?”
He shrugged, but didn’t look up.
“Do you want me to leave?”
“No,” he said, his head shooting up. “I mean, that is, if you want to stay, you can.”
“Tucker,” she said, standing and coming to stand next to him. “I want to stay. I’m not going anywhere.”
He set down his glass and stood, taking her hands in his. “I’ve fallen for you somethin’ terrible, Miss. Every day you’re near, I just wake up with the biggest smile on my face.”
Colleen sighed, the pressure of keeping her feelings to herself coming out in a rush of air.
“I’ve fallen for you too. You’re so strong, and handsome. You’re an amazing person, Tucker, and I’m thankful for every day I get to spend with you.”
Chapter 5
In the soft lighting of night, she saw some hidden weight lift from him, and he bent down and kissed her. Colleen threw her arms around him, and the sweetness of the kiss swiftly turned carnal.
The passions they’d been denying themselves finally broke free with their confessions of love.
Without warning, he dipped for a moment, grabbing her around the rear and lifting her onto the table.
Their hands were at one another’s clothes in a heartbeat, and they ripped their shirts free. Colleen growled lustily as she ran her hands over the muscles of his chest.
“Take it off,” he said, nodding to her bra.
As she did, he undid the button and zipper of his pants, pushing them and his underwear down. Having taken off their boots when coming in, his pants met no resistance as he kicked them free.
Colleen had never seen a man so erect. It made her feel attractive to see someone desired her so clearly.
His hands were at her pants, undoing them and pulling them down her legs.
Removing her bra, she tossed it to the side and without wasting a moment, he leaned in and kissed her again.
They held to one another for a moment, kissing, feeling their skin press together. He broke the kiss for a second to lick the first two fingers of one hand, and then reached down and touched her.
A shudder shocked through her system, the muscles of her belly tightening with the pleasure.
Already wet, he spread her juices a bit and applied some to the head of his erection. She scooted her rear to the edge of the table, and after he dipped his hips, he slipped himself inside of her.
