Innocence Lost (Lone Mountain Ranch Book 1)

Chapter 11

During her fantasy, Kylie moaned and mumbled to herself. Thankfully, her words were too jumbled for Jose to understand. He ignored it, but she did it again. He was used to a certain level of massage induced sounds, but this was getting excessive. Jose cleared his throat to try and bring her back to reality.

"Mmmm," Kylie moaned again in her relaxed daze.

"Is the pressure okay, Kylie?"

The question knocked her out of her reverie. Kylie had forgotten where she was for a moment. Upon realizing she was still on the massage table, her face turned beet red. She was glad to be facing down towards the ground. She wondered if she said something in her sleep. She hoped she did not say Jax's name. Oh no! He will be furious with me if anyone thinks we slept together on our ride, she thought.

"Ummm... Sorry, I dozed off for a bit. Did I say anything in my sleep?" Kylie asked as nonchalantly as she could.

"No, you didn't say anything. You only moaned a few times and talked in gibberish. It is a normal reaction in this industry, so I'm used to it," Jose answered politely.

Kylie breathed a sigh of relief. She settled back in for the rest of the massage, turning over onto her back at Jose's request. Her thighs were a bit stuck together with her desire after her super-hot fantasy. She only wished her afternoon had gone like that. Even though she was only supposed to look and not touch, Kylie could not deny the electric pull between her and Jax.

Kylie made sure to stay awake during the second part of her massage. She focused on the aches being released from her muscles with every push and pull of Jose's hands. Kylie enjoyed every minute of being pampered until Jose interrupted again.

"Our session has ended, Kylie. I'll let you get dressed, and I will see you outside when you are ready," Jose said.

"Already? It was great. Thank you so much, Jose."

Kylie felt refreshed. Every inch of her body was thoroughly worked over and felt much better after today's ride. She stayed on the bed for a few minutes, stretching her arms up and over her head, feeling the pull in her muscles. She was in a great mood, and her mind felt all tingly from being so relaxed. Maybe there would be another cute guy to distract her at tonight's hoedown. With her energy renewed, she was looking forward to this evening.

After her massage, Kylie relaxed in her room, enjoying the plush bedding surrounding her as she read a few pages of her book. She kept her mind clear of Zane, Jax, and the rest of the outside world for that matter. She did not care about her phone and did not bother to turn it on the entire day. It was freeing. For the first time the entire weekend, Kylie felt truly at peace.

She was looking forward to the hoedown tonight. It was scheduled to begin with cocktails at 6pm, and the Barbeque buffet dinner from 7:30pm, with dancing and live music until 11. Kylie took her time getting ready and aimed to get there by 6:30. She showered quickly, not wanting to get distracted by her thoughts in there again. She applied lotion to her body and dried her hair using a round brush to curl the ends.

Applying her makeup, she focused on perfectly contouring and highlighting her face, paying attention to brightening her eyes and hiding her under eye circles. Now, she needed an outfit. Kylie flipped through the few items of clothing she packed for the weekend. All of the items looked so drab, and she wanted to look amazing.

She stood there in front of the closet for what seemed like forever before she remembered the white denim mini skirt she bought with Olivia. Where was the white skirt? Did I remember to pack it? She wondered. When she packed, she took all of the items from her shopping bags and put them straight into her suitcase. She looked all over the room. It was not in any of the drawers or in the closet. She pulled out her suitcase and riffled through the few articles in there. She found it at the bottom of the bag under the white blouse she wore to work on Friday. She must have missed it when she was unpacking. She pulled it on. It hugged her hips perfectly and was short enough without being too short.
