Taming Tanner Read Free Page B

first one, then two large fingers into her heat. When she moaned and fell back on the bed exposing her neck and cupping her breasts, Tanner snatched her to him, her core perfectly aligned with his probing cock.
    The first graze of heat against his penis made his knees tremble, but the feel of her opening around him and taking him in caused his heart to stop. His heart contracted painfully behind his ribs, as if it lost the knowledge of how to beat when he was fully seated and she wrapped those thick dark chocolate thighs around him and pulled him deeper still. Beginning to beat again, this time it felt as if his heart was trying to leap from his chest into hers.
    Clenching both his eyes and his jaw, Tanner forced himself to hold still. He breathed deeply and felt tears at the back of his eyes; the joy of being inside Sophia was almost more than he could bear. When he’d first seen Sophia flitting around the ranch kitchen he’d thought maybe he’d do a little flirting and see if there was any spark there. However, when he’d spoken to her, all his old emotions had rushed back. Now, here in this moment, wrapped in her heat, he knew there was no way in hell he was ever letting her go.
    “Mine,” he whispered on a breath.
    Sophia wiggled beneath him, and he stilled her with a firm grip on her thighs.
    “ Mine ,” he said again.
    Opening his eyes, he stared deeply into hers, willing her to understand. She stared back with a look of both fear and hope shining in her eyes.
    Tanner had been afraid Sophia wouldn’t see that this was something deeper than just sex for him, but then she’d reached up and caught the lone tear that trekked down his cheek with her lips.
    She whispered the words that set him free.
    “Always yours, Tanner. Forever.”
     

     
    When Sophia leaned up to whisper in Tanner’s ear, she thought her heart would grow wings and fly away. He was so deep inside her. Literally and figuratively, she’d never felt so full in her entire life. She wanted him, and knowing it wasn’t just about sex made her want him even more. He’d claimed her and she’d accepted it, and now she was basking in that claiming.
    Tanner moved within her and the feeling was so much that she couldn’t hold on. Falling back to the bed again, she grasped at his shoulders before letting her hands fall away limply. Tanner didn’t leave them empty for long. He leaned into her and grasped her hands in his one large one. He pinned them above her head as he continued to pound into her, branding her with his heat.
    Her orgasm was building rapidly. But she couldn’t seem to let go. She needed something. Opening her eyes, she was shocked to find Tanner’s face so close to hers.
    “Need something, baby?”
    She nodded. The words locked in her throat.
    “Tell me what you need.”
    “Come with me.”
    “All you had to do was ask.”
    Sophia gasped as Tanner doubled the force of his already powerful thrusts; he released her hands and once again gripped her hips. Stars began to dance behind her eyes and her scalp tingled with the impending explosion.
    “So close, Sophia… I need you…come now!” Tanner demanded.
    All it took were those words for her to fall over the edge. She was so far gone that she barely registered the hot splash of his seed filling her. It felt like she was coming for an eternity, and when she did come back to herself it was to find Tanner resting his golden head on her chest. His ragged breath matched hers.
    Sophia allowed a soft smile to tug her lips at the warmth of his weight against her. Her legs were going to go numb, but she couldn’t bear to un-wrap them from his waist. She didn’t want him to move.
     

     
    Tanner knew he had to be crushing Sophia, but the moment he attempted to move, she tightened her hold on him. Sighing deeply, he used all his strength to push up, coming to his feet with her wrapped around him, his cock still secure within her. Gently he climbed on to the bed and laid them on their
