Romance: Cowboy Way of Love (4 page)

“
I’d like that,” The last
of Hunter’s shirt buttons came open, and she pushed the garment
from his shoulders. “I’d like that very much.”

Words gave way to kisses
as they shed the rest of their clothes. Hunter smiled at the way
Peony’s soft round breasts fell against the curves of her stomach
once they were free from her bra. “Those are just gorgeous,
darling.”

Peony pressed her hands
against the outside of her bosom, hugging her massive tits
together. “You’re welcome to take a closer look.”

Hunter didn’t need to be
told twice. He started kissing every inch of Peony’s chest, letting
his pink tongue trace swirling curlicues over her ebony slopes. He
loved how dark her skin was; not black like night, but black like
the thing you look for in the night; impossible to find, the object
of desire can only be discovered by good fortune.

She groaned at his
attentions, swaying on her feet. “That feels good, baby,” she said,
sliding her dark fingers into his ashy-blonde hair. “Don’t you
stop.”

“
I’ve got no intention of
stopping.” Hunter said. He nuzzled her bosom, letting his cheeks
rest against the soft, rounded tops. “This is perfect.”

He maneuvered Peony
through the house, into the bedroom. There he pulled back the
blankets and laid her on the snowy white sheets. “Absolutely
perfect.”

Hunter covered the curvy,
lush swell of Peony’s stomach with gentle kisses. Then he reached
the parting of her thighs. “Is this okay?” he asked.

“
More than okay,” Peony
replied. She let her legs splay wide, revealing her most tender
folds. Hunter, who’d thought himself fully aroused by this point,
groaned aloud as his need grew greater.

Peony, thus arrayed,
resembled her namesake. Set between dark thighs, her pussy was a
blossom. At the edges, her flesh was almost iridescent, a
glimmering shade between black and purple. Closer to her core, the
colors shifted; first amethyst, then lavender, then, almost hidden
from view, a thin ribbon of pink.

Hunter’s first kiss there
was enough to bring Peony right up off the bed. “Damn, Cowboy!” she
yelped. “Are you trying to kill me?”

“
Should I stop?” he
asked.

“
I didn’t say that,” she
replied, pressing his head back down. “I didn’t say that at all.”
After that, each one of Hunter’s kisses was met by an increasingly
loud chorus of sighs, groans and moans. Gradually, Peony’s legs
came up and up, until Hunter’s head was almost sandwiched between
her thighs. He could feel her entire body shaking. She’d pulled the
sheets so hard, they’d come up off the bed.

“
Oh, yeah, Cowboy,” she
panted. “I’m going to come.”

Hunter pulled his head
back long enough to growl, “Say my name.”

“
Hun-ter,” Peony replied,
stretching his name over two syllables as she arched her back.
“Hunter, now!”

He wrapped his arms around
her thighs and held on as Peony shook through a glorious orgasm.
She stiffened when she came, long legs and arms growing rigid and
strong with her passion. If Hunter hadn’t of been holding on, she
would have bucked him off.

After, Peony looked down
and smiled. “Wow, Cowboy.” Hunter was on top of her in a flash, his
need already pressing into the very end of her juicy folds.
“Please, Peony,” he said. “I need to be inside you.”

She gave him the nod and
he began to move forward, slowly and gently. “God,” he groaned.
“You’re like coming home.”

Penny raised her legs,
hooking her ankles around Hunter’s back. “That’s because you are
home.” They started rocking back and forth, smiling at each other
as the moment built between the two of them. “We’re both
home.”

Hunter closed his eyes and
groaned. Then he was all the way in here. His blue eyes popped
open, in surprise and delight. “Oh, God, Peony. I’m truly
home.”

She wrapped her arms
around Hunter’s neck and pulled him close as he came.
“Home.”

The morning of Seth and
Petunia’s wedding was bright and beautiful. The sun was shining,
and the sky was blue as far as the eye could see. Hunter was
finishing buttoning himself into the crisp white shirt that would
go beneath his tuxedo jacket when there was a knock on his
door.

“
Yes?” he said.

“
Can I come in?” It was
Peony. She looked radiant in the sunny yellow bridesmaid gown her
sister had picked.

“
Of course,” Hunter said.
He went to the door and took her in his arms, kissing her after
carefully glancing down the corridor to make sure no one was
watching.

She laughed. “You don’t
have to worry about that. Mama read me the riot act this morning.
The cat is out of the bag.”

“
She’s mad we’re
together?”

“
She’s worried we’re
moving too fast,” Peony said. She ran her hands over her stomach.
“Mama’s no fool. She knows that it’s too soon for this to be your
baby and for you to know about it.” She laughed. “Considering I’ve
known you for all of two weeks.”

Hunter’s heart sank. He’d
been on cloud nine, thinking at last he’d found the woman of his
dreams. Now it looked like everything was going to slip out of his
grasp, leaving him disappointed and alone.

“
So this
means?”

Peony leaned forward and
kissed Hunter on the nose. “It means you’re going to have to get
used to Mama giving you the side-eye for quite a while.” She shook
her head. “You don’t even know. It took her some time to wrap her
head around the idea of having one white boy in the family. Now
we’re going to have two? And they’re brothers?”

“
If it makes her feel
better, tell her Jerry and Mark are both very married,” Hunter
said. “The rest of her daughters are safe from the Shipman
boys.”

“
Nobody’s happy about how
the news came out, but that’s Poppy for you,” Peony continued. “You
did good by standing up when you did. Mama appreciated you putting
the spotlight back on Petunia.”

“
Well, it’s really her
day.” Hunter slipped into his tux jacket, a sight that made Peony
smile. “And that day should be starting shortly. Are you
ready?”

She slipped her arm into
the crook of his elbow. “As ready as I’m ever going to
be.”

The ranch’s yard had been
transformed into a beautiful wedding venue, with a white gazebo on
one end and rows upon rows of chairs set up facing it. The flowers
were purple and yellow. All the bridesmaids, including Peony, wore
yellow, while Mama Rose, Hunter’s mother, and the flower girl and
ring bearer wore purple.

“
It’s beautiful,” Peony
said, “but what a lot of work.”

“
If that’s what you want,
that’s what you’ll get,” Hunter said, pulling her tight for a quick
squeeze. The pianist, playing a piano brought at great expense and
with tremendous difficulty from the local church, began the
processional.

“
Hey,” Hunter smiled.
“This is the first time we get to walk down the aisle together.”
They lined up behind the best man and maid of honor – both college
friends of Seth and Petunia – and waited their turn to begin the
careful slow stroll.

“
Not every couple gets to
do that twice,” Peony laughed. She was so beautiful, in her
sunshine yellow dress, with her hair pulled back and up in a twist
and her smile wide, that Hunter almost melted.

“
I can’t believe this is
real,” he said, and leaned in for a quick kiss.

“
Be careful,” she said,
fussing at him a little. “If you mess up my makeup for the
pictures, Petunia is never going to forgive me.”

“
Come on, you two,” Poppy
urged from behind them. “It’s your turn!”

Hunter and Peony
straightened up, stifled their guilty grins, and strolled carefully
down the aisle. Hunter’s mother was crying, as he knew she would
be, but she managed to smile at the two of them walking arm in
arm.

Mama Rose had no tears,
but she wasn’t smiling either. Hunter didn’t worry. Peony had told
him her mother was so nervous that she was holding her breath.
Peony didn’t expect her to exhale until after the cake was
cut.

They took their places on
either side of the altar. Hunter couldn’t keep his gaze from
straying to Peony’s face. As the minister recited the wedding
ceremony and led Seth and Petunia through their vows, his mind was
racing. It wouldn’t be too long before he would be standing in his
brother’s place, pledging his life to the beautiful woman he’d
fallen in love with.

Everything had happened so
fast, but with that speed came a certainty unlike anything Hunter
had ever felt before. He knew he was supposed to care for Peony, to
protect her against the world’s harshest elements and to support
her in making her dreams come true. When the baby came, he’d be
there to help her raise it – and with any luck, in another year or
two, they’d be welcoming another child into the family.

The thought of raising a
family with this beautiful talented woman made him smile. Hearing
his brother proudly proclaim “I do!” made him smile even wider. And
later, when they were at the reception, swirling around the dance
floor with Peony in his arms while the band played, “The Best Is
Yet To Come” made him smile even more than that.

“
What’s got you so happy?”
Peony asked.

“
You,” he said, smiling
down at her. “I know it’s Seth’s day, but I feel like I’m the one
who won a prize.” He kissed her once, slowly, and then again more
deeply. The band started playing another song, this one with a
faster beat designed to get people onto the dance floor. It worked,
but not on Peony and Hunter. They just stood there, kissing, as the
crowd danced around them.

“
I think I’m the lucky
one,” she murmured against his lips. “There’s a million girls in
the world who’d love to be with you, and you pick me.”

“
There’s not a million
girls in the world,” Hunter replied. “You’re it. The only one. All
the other ones disappeared when I saw you.”

She smiled. “Are you going
to sweet talk me like this all the time?”

“
Every day,” he said,
pulling her closer, “and every night.”

“
Ah, yes,” she said,
quoting his words back to him. “The cowboy ready, willing and able
to meet my every need.”

“
I’ll do my best,” he
promised.

“
And I’ll do mine,” she
promised back. They kissed again, spinning in each other’s arms,
dancing to their own music that no one in the crowd could hear.
People smiled kindly as them as they whirled by, a pair of
newlyweds in training.

“
Then we’re going to be
fine,” Hunter said. “Just fine.”
