Chapter 91

By the time they parked the truck and made it inside the house Lexie was so aroused just from thinking of sex with her husband her pulse raced. Moisture flooded her panties, her cream evidence of her heated desire. The nipples on her aching breasts tightened to diamond-hard tips. A pulse throbbed low in her belly and in the walls of her sex, insistently trumpeting the intensity of her need. Would it always be like this between the two of them, instant conflagration whenever they touched, raging hunger whenever they were alone? She hoped they didn't burn themselves out before they celebrated their first wedding anniversary.A slight tremor shook Killian's hands as he hung his jacket on a peg in the mud room. She hooked hers next to it and, without a word, spun and headed for their bedroom. She'd almost made it into the room when his hands grasped her hips, turning her around to face him."I have to have a taste." His voice held that passionate, husky sound she loved."Have at it."She c

Chapter 92

Lexie asked herself daily how she ever could have gotten so lucky as to have Killian fall in love with her and marry her. She'd fallen for him the moment he walked into Heart Starter, although her cautious heart had tried to put the brakes on. Now, well, she didn't even want to think of what her life would be like without him.Are you crazy, girl? Dithering and blathering when you have a near naked hot man who wants your body, and who loves you to distraction? Get your shit together.She kicked off the ugly but comfortable shoes she wore at work. Then, wetting her lips, she unsnapped her jeans and pushed them down her legs, wiggling her butt as she did so. Then she stood there in a thong matching the red bra, nothing more than a scrap of satin barely covering her mound. Discovering Killian had a thing for a bikini wax, she'd made it a habit to maintain it so no curls peeped out from the edges of the little triangle of fabric."Christ!" he growled. "Come here, Lexie. Let me run my tongu

Chapter 93

Reaching around behind Lexie, Killian loosened the rope then lifted her to the bed. She knew exactly the position he liked for her, on her back with arms spread wide so he could bind her wrists to the headboard. He watched her the entire time he looped and knotted the rope, just as he always did. Checking for her discomfort. Checking for any sign of reservation. It was such a big part of what and who he was, a man whose love for her came before anything. She figured that was part of the reason she could be so uninhibited with him. She trusted him completely.She kept her eyes on him as he slid back onto his knees, pausing to place strings of kisses over the upper swell of her breasts. She arched her upper body to him, silently urging him to suck her nipples and torment them as he liked to do. In seconds, he obliged her, attending to first one taut bud then the other. His mouth was hot, his tongue even hotter as he swirled it around the tip. She bowed with pleasure when he bit down firs

They were both up early in the morning, despite the stresses of the day before and the absolutely incredible but exhausting sex of the previous night. Killian interviewed prospects for ranch hands while Lexie worked a full day at Heart Starter. He'd thought about what he wanted to say all the while he showered, while he dressed, and while he fixed their coffee. Now, when he sat down at the table with her, he carried the envelope from the Savannah Art Show Committee, dropping it on the surface between them. It was dumb luck he'd been the one to take the mail in the day it came. Otherwise, lord only knew if she'd have said anything to him.Lexie stared at it as if it might bite her."Are you ever going to open it?" he asked at last.She shrugged. "Maybe, although I'm sure it's a very polite rejection.""You won't know until you look."He wished he could infuse her with the kind of self-confidence she lacked where her art was concerned. He knew she'd never completely recovered from the di

"Lexie?" She looked up at the sound of Killian's voice. "Did I lose you, honey? I mean, I know I'm just a dumb cowboy, but I think I know good-""Shut up."Okay, he shouldn't have used the dumb cowboy bit. She hated when he did that. But still..."Shut up? Are you telling your wonderful husband to shut up?" He grinned, hoping she'd relax."Yes, I am." She rubbed her forehead, and he hoped this whole thing hadn't given her a headache. "You may be a cowboy, but you are not dumb""Okay, okay, okay." He sat up straight and held out his hands, palms facing forward. "Just trying to inject a little note of humor here.""Well, it wasn't the least bit funny." She wet her lips and leaned onto her forearms. "Killian, you are smarter than half the people in the state of Kansas, so quit the dumb cowboy jokes, okay?""Got it." He grinned at her. "Just not an art expert." Then he sobered. "But I do know good work when I see it. And yours is damn fucking good.""Okay." She let out a deep sigh. "I kn

Chapter 96

 Heart Starter was wall-to-wall people when the bell over the door sounded and Lexie glanced up to see Killian walk in with his familiar loose-hipped stride. She wondered if she'd ever get tired of watching at him. Broad shoulders and narrow hips defined his muscular frame, a body she loved running her hands over and feeling the hard planes and sculpted muscles. He wore his thick black hair a little longer than when they'd first met, but on him it looked good. A square jaw and high cheekbones defined the masculinity of his face. Altogether, he was one damn fine package.He met her gaze over the heads of the crowd and pointed to the kitchen in back. She nodded and continued filling an order. It was a good fifteen minutes longer before she could step away from the counter and go searching for her husband.Husband!God, how she loved saying and thinking that word. She smiled to herself. Their courtship had been fast and their marriage was still new, but she never had a doubt it was forev

It had taken some fancy talking on Killian's part to convince Lexie driving to Savannah was both exhausting and impractical."It's a fifteen hour drive, darlin'," he kept telling her. "We'll both be exhausted, and you want to be fresh and alert, right?""But if we drive, I can take my entry with me," she'd reminded him, not for the first time."Lexie." He'd reached out and pulled her against him. "Didn't you tell me FedEx offers customized service? That they do that all the time."She'd nodded."Then that's what we'll do. We'll drive into the city, and you can supervise the process yourself."She was such a bundle of nerves, and he did his best not to lose patience with her. He was already irritated because she hadn't allowed him to help her choose her submission pieces. What was the big fucking secret, anyway? For the most part, she allowed him freedom in her studio. He liked to watch her paint, when he had the time, and he loved everything she did.Patience, he kept telling himself.

God! Killian had to stifle the wave of jealousy surging through him."Oh, no." She answered him quickly. "No, no, no. I just don't want to give him the satisfaction of..." She stopped and caught her bottom lip in her teeth. "Of what, Lexie? Tell me?""Of thinking he's won. That he's chased me out of my art.""Then I think we need to stick with our program." He brushed his lips over hers. "But only if you can figure out how to relax. You'll pass out before the show if you don't.""Okay." She shook out her hands, a gesture he'd seen her use before when tense. "I'll work on it. But, listen. Right now I need to check on my painting."He wanted to laugh except he knew how serious this was to her."Darlin', you called them when you got the email it had been delivered. You called them again before we left, and you checked again in the airport while we were waiting for the luggage. I don't think they lost it."She did that nibbling thing with her lower lip that always drove him wild. He told

Killian would have dropped her off at the gallery, but Lexie wanted at least the distance of the two blocks separating them. She wasn't sure if all the entries had been draped and covered or even where hers would be displayed, but she wasn't taking any chances. She'd thought long and hard about the three images she'd submitted, crossing her fingers the one she wanted would be selected.Of course having any of them chosen for entry was a hugely big deal, but to have them want this one? It would be like the frosting on the cake. Despite lingering feelings of betrayal and inadequacy from the last show, she had applied for entry and willingly paid the fee to have this work exhibited. When they had chosen her favorite for the competition, she'd screamed with joy and done a little happy dance, glad Killian hadn't been in the house to hear or see her.She had actually wrapped it in brown paper herself before Killian drove her to the city to get it shipped. She wasn't taking any chances he'd c

Chapter 100

Lunch had been wonderful, and they'd even had wine with it. Then they'd decided to do a little strolling and walked through historic Savannah, an incredible section of downtown. The four-block city market had a variety of shops and outdoor café tables and chairs for weary walkers to rest their feet and their wallets. Late in the afternoon, they'd stopped for ice cream cones and eaten them silently as they people-watched.By the time they returned to the inn, he noticed Lexie had relaxed fractionally, but he knew she needed something more to take the edge off before the reception tonight. He ached for her as she battled her unpleasant memories. He wanted to do something, anything, to remind her how cherished she was and that the damn award didn't mean as much to him as she did.But he also knew how the past ate away at her. He just hoped if he saw that bastard Rick he could restrain himself from punching out his lights.As soon as they were back in their room, he pulled her into his arm
