All Chapters of The Love Barn: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

DIXIE STOOD IN THE kitchen, her lighter in hand.Should she light candles?If she lit them Benjamin would know-what? That she'd left The Love Barn and gone home to promptly shower, shave, the whole girl routine and light candles because tonight was their date for fun?A diesel engine rumbled down the street.Her nipples sat at attention and she shivered, watching for the headlights to turn into her driveway.All weekend Benjamin had taunted her with variations of how much fun he had planned. If she'd known he intended to tease her, she would not have offered to help out with Garth. At least that's what she tried to tell herself. Any time she thought about those teases, the gentle caresses, she smiled.Then there was his T-shirt.She'd found it in her car, which meant he'd stolen her keys long enough to stash an old, faded Ransom varsity football shirt on her passenger seat.It smelled of him and she wasn't too proud to admit that she'd slept in that shirt last night.

Dixie swallowed.Time had been kind to him. He was built like a runner. Or a swimmer. Muscular, but light. Lean.He leaned forward, forcing her back onto the pillows."Looking at me like that gives me ideas," he whispered."Like?" Her mind was blanking, too overloaded with sensation as it was."First, this needs to go." He slid his hand under her and released the catch of her bra with an expert flick.Benjamin sat back, dragging the bra with him.She swallowed and fought the urge to cover herself. Her head buzzed. Her skin was too tight. Her body too warm. Her throat closing up.He clasped both of her hands in his, then eased down, his weight pressing her into the mattress. It went against reason, but the feel of him helped her find her ground again. She pulled in a deep breath."Dixie?" He drew something on her cheek with the tip of his nose. "Is this okay?"Did he realize her mind hand spiraled away from them?"Are you having fun yet?" His tone was gentle, but h

BENJI SWIPED THE BANDANA over his face, getting the last bits of grass off his skin. He squinted up the hill as his truck chugged closer to home.Was there a car in the parking lot?Unless otherwise booked, Mondays were their day off. There shouldn't be an appointment or anyone parked out front of The Love Barn.He pressed the accelerator a little harder and zoomed the rest of the way to his driveway. It wasn't until he whipped into the driveway to park that he recognized the car from its usual spot in front of the antique shop.What was Bunny doing making a house call?Benji parked the truck and got out, leaving the lawnmower in the bed for now. He climbed the porch steps two at a time and darted into the house, more curious than alarmed about the visit.He stopped on the entry mat and blinked at the sight of his brother sitting in the armchair, hands clasped around a glass of what was likely sweet tea. Bunny and Sissy sat on the sofa. Both turned to glance at him, their e

BENJI HAD WAITED DAYS for this moment.The truck rolled to a stop, and he put it in park. Just a glance at her front door with that dated, seventies gold trim on the frosted glass made the stress slide off his shoulders.He'd gotten caught up in Garth's bad mood Monday after everyone left and hadn't wanted to share that with Dixie. They'd only texted a bit. Then she was busy Tuesday evening, which turned out to be a good thing because Benji wound up sucked into a strategy meeting about the barn events with Scarlett and her friend Noemi. At least he'd had a short chat with Dixie right before she went to bed.Benji was determined that today would be a good one, and he'd spend it with Dixie.For the rest of the afternoon and evening she was his.He grabbed his guitar and the folder of material they were working on. The planner she'd given him that now contained his life sat in the passenger seat. He leaned across and snagged that, too. With wedding season in full swing and the b

Benji kissed her mouth and eased his hand away from hers. She fumbled with the material separating them, but her hold on him grew less tentative. And fuck if that wasn't a turn on."Yeah, just like that," he whispered against her mouth. "Thinking about you gets me hard."He grasped her by the hips and lifted, boosting her up the wall until she had no choice but to release him and wrap her legs around his waist. He cradled her ass in his hands and devoured her mouth, savoring this lust infused moment.There wasn't much point in narrating what else the characters in her book had done once they stumbled into the fictional house and the guy swept the woman off her feet. It would be far more fun to simply do their own version.Dixie's legs tightened around him and she dug a hand into his hair. She yanked him toward her. He was too surprised and eager to care if she pulled his hair out. Her eager lips devoured his, the kiss taking on a desperate edge he wanted to soothe.Benji shov
