<b><i>"You." <br/>
</i></b><br/>His direct, one word response, caused goosebumps of excitement to travel across her smooth skin. She had already seen it in his eyes, this raw desire that matched her own, but to hear him declaring his want for her... it caused the female to smile widely in something akin to triumph. Her cheeks were colored red as she gazed up into his eyes, before her eyelids fluttered closed at the first touch of his lips against hers. It felt almost intoxicating; that simple, light touch. It was softer and warmer than she had expected. Not that she had spent many waking hours imagining how it'd be like kissing someone for the first time. But, ever since the moment she'd laid eyes upon this cowboy... that thought had been pestering her from time to time. Jo had genuinely wondered about how it'd feel like having<b>him</b>kiss her, embrace her, tell her the things she'd want to hear. And now it was happening. Almost like a dream come true. Was it right, though? They had known each other for such a short amount of time. It was against everything she'd been taught to even contemplate such a promiscuous act of willingly entering the arms of a man she had just recently met. And was this fierce attraction between them even normal? Well, to heck with being careful or reserved. When his hold tightened on her, she went all too willingly to him. Emptied her mind of all doubts. Pressed her body wantonly against his, while her heart was thumping heavily in her chest. A small sound of delight was breathed against his lips while she slowly stroked both her hands up to his shoulders, wrapping her arms securely around his neck, as he brought his hand up into her hair. A soft, breathy gasp escaped her each time their lips parted. She felt like she was slowly drowning in this sensual act. And she loved every second of it.<br/><br/>This was against the rules...<br/><br/>There was no space to be found between their bodies, her chest was flat up against Wade's, her hips and thighs glued to his. She could feel every movement of his body, felt his chest rise against hers whenever he'd take a breath. She was certain she even felt his heartbeat that was matching her own. Her eyes opened again when he spoke out, her gaze was dazed and dreamy as she stared up at him. When his mouth claimed hers again, this time with more passion, the slender female matched his moaning with her own while tightening her hold around his neck. This time, she felt the kiss all the way down to her toes. A shiver of something forbidden and delightful caused her to moan softly again, the young female jumping a little with the shock of feeling his tongue enter her mouth. But she did not shy away from him, but rather she boldly mimicked his actions. Heat was gradually filling her body, making her almost impatient as she tentatively rubbed herself against the strong man that held her so securely. Their tongues mated slowly, circling and dancing against each other, until Jo thought she'd faint from the sheer raw passion she was experiencing. Unlike Wade, she was completely unaware of anything and everything in their surroundings. All of her attention was solely focused on the very man she was giving her heart to. When their lips parted, the brunette was panting slightly with a flushed face. Her hold on his neck loosened up by just a fraction as she opened her eyes again, now staring up at him with a heated gaze.<br/><br/>To hell with all those rules...<br/><br/>"I want you too."<br/><br/>It wasn't as if she didn't expect him to know that already. Surely, he would not think she'd give her lips to just any cowboy she crossed paths with. But Jo felt like she needed to say it out loud... perhaps to come to terms with her own feelings at this moment. Or maybe she just wanted to make sure he realized he wasn't getting away from her now. Because right at this moment, the determined and strong willed young female knew that he was hers and she was his. There was nothing else that would even make sense at this point. Her parents could pester her all they wanted about marrying some rich man that wore clean suits and knew how to behave properly in the upper society - but Jo would not be listening. Wade was all she needed. This rugged bounty hunter was her very world now. And he better be prepared for that. Pulling her lower lip between her teeth, she seemed to become a little bit shy at that moment when she realized just how deep her liking to him really was. Exhaling shakily, she leaned in again, reaching up on her tip toes and pressed a light kiss against his sweet lips. Just to make sure this hadn't all been a dream. His scent and his taste were once again starting to drown out her rational thinking, causing her lips to linger for a second or two against his, but she knew that unless she'd be taking her leave right now... things might get a bit dangerous. Especially with her father under the same roof as them.<br/><br/>So then, would he let her go, she'd turn on her heel and flee back towards her room with a wide grin. Even if she was blushing madly, and feeling extremely shocked at what had just taken place, she also felt happy beyond.
