get. That was fine
with her. She would take any chance possible to make love with her husband. “I
might. Do you have any ideas?”
    “Oh, I’m sure
I could think of something we’d both enjoy.”
    She had no
doubt of that. Jake’s imagination and spontaneity kept their sex life hot and
spicy. He often surprised her in the kitchen, or the laundry room, or the barn,
with passionate kisses and lusty lovemaking. Just the thought of it made her
clitoris throb. “Where’s Patrick?”
    “I sent him
to the store for steaks. I’m going to barbecue tonight.”
    “So he’ll be
gone…how long?”
    Jake moved
his hands from her hips to her buttocks. “Long enough,” he said before covering
her lips with his own.
    Amanda
groaned deep in her throat when Jake’s tongue slipped past her lips. One kiss
from this man was all it took for dampness to form between her thighs. While
she hadn’t had a vast number of lovers before her marriage, none of them had
affected her as strongly as Jake. Never had she wanted a man as much as she
wanted Jake. She arched into him, moving her hips from side to side, getting as
close as possible while still wearing clothes. His hands kneaded her buttocks
while his tongue stroked, caressed, tempted her.
    She was more
than willing to do whatever he wanted.
    Her
willingness had to be apparent to Jake, so it surprised her when he stopped
their kiss. Still in the throes of passion, she struggled to open her eyes as
he cupped her face in his hands. “Do you have any idea how much I love you?” he
whispered.
    His
expression was so fierce and serious, Amanda didn’t know what to say for a
moment. “Of course I know you love me. I love you, too.”
    “I’d do
anything for you, do you know that?”
    “Yes, I know
that. I’d do anything for you, too. Jake, what—”
    “I just want
you to know exactly how I feel about you, how much you mean to me.”
    “I have no
doubts about how much I mean to you. Now cut out all this talk and kiss me
again.”
    He obeyed her
immediately. Amanda moaned softly when Jake’s tongue slipped past her lips
again. Parting her lips wider, she drew his tongue deeply into her mouth and
sucked on it. Her action drew a groan from Jake.
    “God, I love
kissing you,” he whispered.
    She didn’t
get the chance to respond for he kissed her again before moving his mouth to
her throat. Amanda tilted her head when Jake lightly bit her neck. A single
lick of his tongue soothed the tender nip, then he covered her lips with his
again.
    Cool air
brushed against the back of her legs and slowly climbed upward. Amanda felt
Jake’s warm, calloused palms cup her buttocks. Through the fog of desire
clouding her brain, she realized he had pulled her dress up to her waist.
    “Mmm, I love
it when you wear these tiny little thongs.”
    “I know you
do. That’s why I wear them.”
    His fingers
slid into the cleft between her buttocks. “Are you wet?”
    “You know I
am.”
    “Maybe I’d
better find out for sure. Maybe I should bend you over the table and—”
    The back door
opened. Amanda glanced to her left as Patrick stepped inside.
    Her first
instinct was to pull away from Jake and jerk down her dress. The hot look in
Patrick’s eyes stopped her. She watched his gaze travel to her buttocks and
linger there for a long moment before he looked at her face.
    “Sorry,”
Patrick said. “I forgot my wallet.”
    The sound of
his voice shattered Amanda’s trance. She tugged down her dress while warmth
climbed into her cheeks…partly from embarrassment, and partly from the heat
still in Patrick’s eyes.
    “No problem,”
Jake said. “I was just telling Amanda about the horse sale.”
    Amanda
whipped her head toward Jake. He didn’t sound the least bit concerned that
Patrick had seen her bare bottom. In fact, with the way he was pressing his
still-hard cock against her, it appeared he’d actually liked it.
    “Horse sale,
huh?” Patrick asked with a grin. “Looks to me like you
