Innocence Lost (Lone Mountain Ranch Book 1)

Chapter 28

Kylie and Chase sat under the marriage tree and were lost in conversation about everything from their hopes and dreams to their favorite color and foods. They were both so enamored with each other that they lost track of the time. Or rather did not care about the time. It was only when Chase caught a glimpse of his watch that he realized how late it was getting.

"We should head back to the barn soon. I know you want to drive home tonight," Chase said.

"Yes, I guess we should. I am so sad I have to leave. It is so beautiful here, and I am sad to be leaving you. You showed me such a great time this weekend. Thank you for everything, Chase!"

Kylie looked down at her boots. She felt really happy and comfortable with him. Riding this weekend brought a fresh new perspective to what she imagined for her future. She could see a future like the one Chase described to her. She was getting used to the idea and very used to Chase. Kylie did not want to leave. She wanted Chase to kiss her to see if there was a mutual chemistry between them.

Chase did not want her to go either. He felt his body move towards her. She looked up at him with those longing eyes, and the urge to kiss her took over any rational thought.

"Can I kiss you, Kylie?"

Kylie's nerves got the better of her, and she could not get the words out, so she nodded slightly. Chase put his hand on her chin and directed her face towards him. He ran his thumb over her lips and cupped her chin with his hand. He was so gentle and chivalrous with her, not rough and eager like Jax. Chase leaned in to put his lips against hers. His kiss was just as confident as he was. His heart skipped a beat. He knew she felt the passion between them, too.

Kylie kissed him back. Her soft lips moved against his. Both of their passion came roaring forward. Chase knocked his cowboy hat off to the ground and did the same to Kylie's forgetting it was tied under her chin. The strap pulled against Kylie's throat, but she did not care. She kissed him urgently. Chase moved his tongue between her lips and searched her mouth. Their tongues intertwined like the branches of the trees they were sitting under.

Chase was a great kisser. His gentlemanly demeanor was overtaken by the tiger lurking beneath. He flicked his tongue in and out of Kylie's mouth over and over again. Kylie could barely breathe, but it did not matter. The lack of oxygen reaching her brain only added to the euphoria. Chase wrapped one hand in her hair and placed the other on her back, holding her tight. He felt every part of Kylie's mouth with his tongue. As he lifted his mouth from hers, he bit her bottom lip teasingly. They both sucked in deep breaths of air.

Chase's blue pools for eyes were fixed intently on Kylie's. His felt his cock grow against the restricting denim. He wanted more and hoped Kylie did as well. Her eyes seemed to be saying 'yes'. He moved his mouth down the tendons of her throat to lick and suck her sensitive skin. She pulled his hair gently and pushed his head further into the crook of her neck. Chase's smooth face nuzzled into her, and he swirled his tongue against her soft skin. It was driving Kylie crazy and made her body shudder.

He guided her down to the ground and floated his body over hers. Kylie looked like an angel lying there. She undid her button down, and his kisses followed the trail. He took in the fresh scent of her skin combined with the well-worn leather of the saddle and the earth around them. It was a smell he wanted to experience every day for the rest of his life. Chase kissed her breasts and moved down her stomach.

Kylie got to her feet and stood next to Chase who was on his knees. She took off her boots, socks, and pants. She wrapped her arms around his head and held him against her body. He took another deep breath of the fragrance wafting from her skin. She tilted his head up towards her and leaned over to kiss him. Chase worked on the buttons of his shirt. Kylie pulled it off over his shoulders and down his arms. She pushed him into a seated position, and he moved his legs out from beneath him. He undressed, so he was fully naked. Kylie was standing over him, admiring his naked body and his throbbing cock. She joined him in his nakedness, and goosebumps fell upon her skin.
