Welcome to WIP IT UP Wednesday. #wipitup. My work in progress(WIP) today is from my cowboy spanking romance currently titled Hope Junction. Set in the small Wyoming town of Hope Junction, it is Tessa and Chance's love story. Tessa has just moved to town to start a new business and Chance is the local rancher who falls for her. In this extract Chance is undressing Tessa for the first time:
**********
Tessa smiled at him and nodded, taking
the hand he offered. Once inside his
pick-up she was embarrassed to be hot and trembling beside him. Smiling at her he put his arm round her and
kissed her softly. “You got any candles,
hon?”
“Huh?
Candles?” Tessa gazed at him
puzzled and then blushed with passionate pleasure as she remembered his words
explaining why he let her keep her panties up when she was across his
knee. …that’s not how I wanna see you bare for the first time. Candlelight and soft, tender caresses are
more my preference, babe. She
squirmed in anticipation remembering his promise. Not as
good as you want, Tessa, but better than you’ve been getting. Tessa swallowed, her mouth dry at the
implications of his question. “Um,
yeah. Plenty. All different types and scents.”
He smiled and nodded as he put his
truck into gear. “Thought you might.”
“Chance,” she asked into his
chest. “Do you think maybe…” what the
hell, she screwed up her courage and just asked him in a rush, “…maybe you
could stay over.”
He pulled her closer and kissed her
hair. “Would you like me to, Therese
Marie?”
She nodded, her heart in her mouth
waiting for his answer.
It came in a husky whisper. “I’d like that too, babe.”
Tessa breathed a sigh of relief, the
rest of the journey passing in a haze of anticipation. She knew it wouldn’t be all the way, but just
the idea of having him in her bed, naked together, falling asleep in his arms
was heady stuff. To finally have this
after the waiting enhanced it. Guess he
knew what he was doing drawing things out.
When they pulled in to the spot behind
her house, they walked hand in hand toward her bedroom in silence. Once inside, she opened her cupboard, indicating
the shelf that held her selection of candles.
“Take your pick, cowboy.”
“Don’t mind if I do.” He told her.
Amazing Tessa by selecting her entire collection of over forty candles,
he started to spread them around the room.
She watched in fascination as he chose each place carefully, clearly
using his firefighter expertise to guard against accidents. “Get lighting woman.” He growled jolting her out of her surprise.
Together they set up the candles,
creating the most romantic atmosphere Tessa had ever experienced. When they finished, the glow was bright
enough to illuminate the blatant desire in his eyes. Taking her by the hand, he leaned lazily on
her mirrored dresser and stood her in front of him slightly to the side so she
was fully visible in the mirror. Tessa
melted as he ran his finger down the bridge of her nose and tucked a stray,
fiery curl behind her ear. She drew in her
breath as his hand cupped her sex through her silky dress and he informed her
softly. “I’m desperate to discover if
the curls here match the hair on your head or your lashes.”
She laughed sweetly and softly. “Really?
That’s what you think about when you imagine me naked?”
“Damn, right. Thought about it that first night when we
were sitting out there on my Gram’s old couch and every night since.” He kept his hand firmly on the apex between
her thighs while he traced her lips and jaw line. “You wanna give me a hint?” He asked her in a low, husky growl.
She shook her head slowly, biting her lip,
answering him a voice that was a slow caress.
“Guess you’ll just have to find out for yourself.”
And he did. Little by little, one garment at a time, he bared
her completely to his admiring gaze in the candlelight. Tessa found it dizzily erotic to be bared in
front of her own mirror as he remained fully clothed. She’d undressed in front of that mirror so
many times, but tonight the woman she saw was the one reflected in his
eyes. He looked
at her like she was the most desirable woman on earth and so she was.
When she was completely naked before
him he reached out and gently pulled on the curls nestled between her
thighs. “Flame colored like your hair,
just like I hoped. You know why, hon,
because then I can watch them turn dark like your lashes when I suck on your
clit and make your sweet pussy weep.”
