“
Thank you for the dance
.”
She was still swaying a bit.

Dancing with a woman who could reach his face without going up on her toes was a first for him, and he liked it. He liked her a lot, and he hated to see her go.

“I’
m going to head back to my room. I
t’
s been a really long day for me
.”
She smiled weakly. The woman looked dead on her feet.

“
Hey, why do
n’
t you let me give you a ride?
I’
m heading out, too
.”
It was stupid, but Beau did
n’
t want the evening to end just yet.

She looked a little wary at first, but she agreed with a nod of her sleepy head. Beau wrapped an arm around her, and they made their way through the other couples to the door. He knew everyone was watching them go, and there would be gossip all over town about him and the sexy redhead. He smiled. Life in a small town was like that. If he ordered something different than his usual at the diner everyone would know it.

Outside Beau opened the driver side door of his Silverado and helped Kesslyn climb in.

“
I do
n’
t think I should drive
.”
She looked at him with big confused blue eyes.

“
I know, darli
n’
. Scoot over, but do
n’
t you scoot too far.
I’
d like to keep you close for a little longer
.”
Christ, was that him being all . . . sweet? What the hell, man?

Kesslyn smiled sweetly and complied, moving over to the middle of the bench seat. That was what was up, right there. He wanted as many of her smiles as he could get. If he could get a kiss before she disappeared into the night it would be even better. He needed to know if she tasted as sweet as she looked.

****

Kesslyn sat close to the big Texan with their fingers entwined. Sh
e’
d never been a hand holder. Not since she was little and held her mom or da
d’
s hand everywhere they went. It was surprisingly intimate to sit that close and hold onto each other that way. She liked the comforting sensation of being palm to palm. Suddenly she was
n’
t quite so alone in the world if only for a moment.

He drove her the short distance to her hotel and parked where she directed him, toward the rear of the hotel, closer to her room. It was very quiet. The heat of summer must not be tourist season in small town Texas.

Beau slid out of the truck, and Kesslyn moved to hop out, but he blocked her exit. She thought he was going to help her out of the big truck. Instead she found herself on the edge of the driver seat with her legs dangling and Beau wedged firmly between them. He cupped her face and stroked her lower lip with his thumb.

Those sexy brown eyes burned through her, melting her instinctual fear of being pressed against a strange man. He did
n’
t feel strange to her though. He was mesmerizing. Kessly
n’
s hands skated up the sleeves of his dress shirt to caress his shoulders.

“
I need a little taste. Just a sip, baby. You gonna give it to me
?”
He was moving in, staring at her mouth. Waiting.

Bea
u’
s hands glided up her waist and over her shoulders until he cupped her face in his hot palms. He loomed over her so big and strong. He was going to kiss her. She should stop him. She should, but she could
n’
t. Kesslyn wanted to taste his flavor as badly as he wanted to sample hers.

He hovered there so close to her lips that his breath mingled with hers. He was still waiting for her permission to kiss her before he let her go. No, she was
n’
t afraid of this stranger at all. She nodded slightly. Giving him the consent he wanted.

Beau growled softly and took her mouth. It was
n’
t a slow building kiss. It was an explosion. Their mouths touched and they both dove in head first. Their tongues danced as smoothly as their bodies had earlier. There was no tentative searching. None of the unfamiliar awkwardness of a normal first kiss. He kissed her like the
y’
d been lovers and he knew just what it took to set her body on fire.

Beau crowded her making her feel all at once vulnerable and shielded. The kiss went on in a frenzy of exploration. They each searched out the othe
r’
s flavor and savored it. He kissed her deep and long making her want with a fierceness she was
n’
t accustomed to. Damn the man could kiss.

Beau was the first to pull away from the kiss, but he did
n’
t release her or back away to let her out. He stared up at the sky above the truck. His broad chest heaved as he took several deep, calming breaths. A shudder ran through his big body. Kesslyn realized Beau was attempting to rein in his need.

Kesslyn clutched his shirt while she too tried to catch her breath. Somehow, knowing he wanted her as desperately as she wanted him was freeing. His cock was a solid mass between them and she wanted it. She wanted to feel all of that heat deep inside her body. She wanted Beau and knew she could have him if she just said the word.

Her hands moved from his shoulders to the front of his shirt. She gripped both sides of the expensive shirt and tugged hard, sending buttons flying in every direction. Her hands immediately went to the hard muscled chest she was so eager to explore. Bea
u’
s hands gripped the edges of the roof of the vehicle tightly. Like he was holding on to keep from grabbing her again. She wanted his hands on her body. She just needed to ask for it. Kesslyn nuzzled her face against his chest. She let her tongue sneak out to taste the skin of his nipple.

“
Baby, Kesslyn, please.
I’
m trying to be a gentleman here.
I’
m failing miserably and that is
n’
t helping me a bit, darli
n’
. This is one of those times I do
n’
t mind admitting
I’
m just a man, and a weaker man than I want to be
.
”

Beau tried to back up but Kesslyn hooked her legs around his and held onto his tattered shirt.

“
To leave me now would be very ungentlemanly
.”
She licked his other nipple and he shuddered again.

“
I wo
n’
t want to stop, darli
n’
.
I’
m just a man and dammit that feels good
.”
He groaned and the vibration coming through his chest made her smile.

Kesslyn looked up into copper brown eyes that burned with lust for her and she was lost. She wanted this man with a desperation she did
n’
t understand. So she lifted her face and kissed him again with all of the longing she was feeling in her chest. Beau responded immediately.

The feel of his big, hard body against hers, nearly dwarfing hers, made Kesslyn feel small and feminine. Even a little delicate, which she was
n’
t and she knew it. Kesslyn was tall, curvy, and quite feminine, but not delicate. It said a lot about the size of the man currently pulling the t-shirt over her head and tossing it back into the cab of his truck.

She imagined a man like Beau would need a huge bed. The thought of him in an actual bed was tempting. The weight of him would press her deep into the mattress. She wanted that but it was too late now. Beau already had her breasts exposed above the cups of her bra. He was plumping a breast with one hand and sucking the pouting nipple deep into his hot mouth. The tug shot from her breast straight to her core. Damn, he might make her come with just his mouth on her breast if he kept up that intense suction while she rubbed herself against his thigh.

Bea
u’
s other hand got busy unbuttoning her shorts. Kesslyn dragged her nails lightly down his chest to the waist of his slacks. He shivered and began making his way back up her chest to lick her collarbone. She made fast work of unbuttoning his tailored trousers and went straight for the prize. And what a package it was. Bea
u’
s manhood was rock hard, smooth as granite, and shockingly proportionate with the rest of his big body.

“
Oh, my
.”
The words slipped out and Beau chuckled against her neck.

“
All for you, Yankee
.
”

She was too absorbed in the way he was nibbling her earlobe to argue about being a yankee. There was nothing wrong with being a yankee in her opinion. It was just that she was a loyal Orioles fan. That nickname came too close to crossing the line of calling her a New York Yankees fan. Those were fighting words.

Kesslyn lost all thought of anything but Bea
u’
s fingers when he hiked up her leg to his hip and tugged off one of her shoes. Before she could kick off the other he had her shorts around her ankles. His fingers pressed into her slick folds to stroke and tease at her opening and flick at her hard little nub of pleasure. She was primed and ready for him.

“
Oh, fuck, Beau.
I’
m going to come
,”
she panted.

“
No, m
a’
am. Not without me. No cheating
.”
He grinned, and her heart did a little flip.

They were in the middle of a heated moment, and he could still tease her. Kesslyn had the feeling he would tease whenever possible.

Bea
u’
s hand left her to grab his suit jacket that was draped over the seat back. He leaned back, and she got a good look at the work of art she was stroking up and down with a firm grip.

Beau was a man on a mission to conquer. He dug a condom out of his wallet and ripped open the package with his teeth. He covered his cock and tugged Kesslyn to the very edge of the seat. He was so tall that her exposed pussy was at the perfect level for his penetration. He guided the head of that monster to her opening and Kesslyn held on tight.

“
I ca
n’
t be gentle right now, Kesslyn. I need to fuck you deep and hard. Can you handle me baby
?”
He was there. Right there, and she needed him inside of her. She nodded but could
n’
t speak through the knot of anticipation in her chest. Hard. Deep. Fast. Yes, tha
t’
s what she wanted.

Beau pressed forward, parting her folds. He stretched her tender flesh as he buried himself deep. She felt full and tense. He held still for only a moment.

“
Relax for me. This is going to feel real nice, baby. I promise
,”
he told her just as he pulled back and returned with a firm push. The air left her lungs. He put a hand between her breasts, encouraging her to lay back on the seat. That changed his angle, and her eyes rolled back in her head.

“
Yeah, tha
t’
s it. Just let me pleasure this hot little pussy. Fuck, you feel so good, Kesslyn
.”

She had the passing thought that she liked it when he called her Kesslyn. Then there were no more thoughts. Only sensation. Beau rode her body hard. He did just as he promised. Fucking her deep and long. She came in just moments. The muscles of her core gripping and releasing fiercely.  Beau moaned and panted as he fought his way through her first orgasm, not stopping his assault until she was thrashing in the throes of another climax. Then he really let loose. Beau pulled her up, wrapping his arms around her, kissing her neck and groaning loudly as he came so hard his entire body shook with the force of it.

The warm night breeze ruffled her hair, bringing Kesslyn back to herself. She was hanging out of a truck with her shorts hanging from one ankle. Her shirt was gone. Her breasts were spilling out of the bra that had been pushed to the side. She was missing a shoe. And she was pretty sure sh
e’
d just seen the curtains of the nearest hotel window move. Someone had been watching them go at it like teenagers. She had to go. Now.

While Beau was still catching his breath, she pushed at his chest. He withdrew, being careful to take the condom with him. She fell back on the seat and found her shirt. She drew it over her head and pulled up her legs to get her shorts back in place.

Beau was stuffing himself back in his pants and zipping up when she jumped out of the truck on shaky legs. He gave her a sexy grin of male contentment.

Kesslyn did
n’
t want to be embarrassed by an encounter sh
e’
d wanted and enjoyed immensely, but she was. She was
n’
t the kind of woman who picked up men in bars and let them fuck her senseless in a truck. She had
n’
t even really been in the truck, either. Public sex. That was what sh
e’
d just done, and she could
n’
t even blame the alcohol. Sh
e’
d felt nearly sober when they left the bar. She was just very tired. Now she was downright exhausted. Beau picked up her missing shoe and handed it to her.
