“I’m a simple man, actually. Take us. I’m enjoying our lessons, but I won’t take you further than you really want to go.”

“About last night…” Her gaze fell to the floor.

“Last night was amazing,” he answered.

“Yeah, it was.” Selby shifted nervously on her feet, lifting her lids to meet his gaze.

“You know, Altura, my horses…all important parts of my life, but you, Miss Reynolds, you’ve been on my mind a lot lately.”

“We should probably get back up to the house. I need to check that diagnostic.”

“I’m not talking about the laptop. I’m talking about us. You. Me. Last night on the terrace. When I mentioned being watched you didn’t stop me.”

“I could hardly have stopped you,” she protested. Selby’s cheeks flushed at the mention of what they’d done.

“Not true. I would have stopped if you’d told me to. But you didn’t.” His eyes turned dark, his sexy smile giving her the chills. “Why did you agree to do it?”

“I don’t know. We were off to the side, sort of hidden. It’s not like I was naked, anyway.”

“But still, we had sex at a party,” he pressed. Garrett took her hand and led her over to the tack room.

“I’ve never done anything like that before. But there was something exciting about it. It’s taboo, the idea that someone could watch.” She considered what Lars had told her about the couple who’d been making love at the soirée. “Lars said that Chase and Penny were fooling around, too. I couldn’t see anything but when he told me…let’s just say I wasn’t turned off by the idea. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s just curiosity. I may not do all those things you guys do, but I’m not a prude.”

“Which was exactly my point to Lars.” Garrett took her by her hands, backing her up toward the wall.

“Lars knows me.” Selby’s bottom brushed up against the bale of hay and she glanced back at it.

“Perhaps, he knows you as a friend.” He shrugged, placing her hands onto the hay. “But I know you as a lover. And I’m going to make love to you right here.”

“Are you now?” Selby shivered, wondering what he had planned. The devilish look in his eye told her that he’d long forgotten about the work that she’d been doing in his office.

“We’re going to find out together just how far we can take each other.” Garrett bunched the fabric of her long skirt up in his hands.

“I see why you bought me this now.” Selby glanced at her clothes and noted that Garrett didn’t respond to her comment; he only smiled and raised a knowing eyebrow at her. “I’m not sure this is the best place for you and me to…you know…”

“Fuck?”

“Yeah, that.” She laughed at his bluntness. “Didn’t you say Seth is here? And you have security too?” Her pulse increased as she said the words out loud, realizing his intentions.

“Yes, I did. Let me see you.” Garrett locked his eyes on hers as he dragged the fabric up her legs. Exposing her, he rolled it upward, tucking it into her waistband. His fingers trailed down her thighs and froze when he realized she wasn’t wearing underwear. His lips brushed her ear and he whispered to her, “No panties again? Selby, Selby, Selby…I was right about you.”

“Yes,” she breathed. Desire shot through her body as he kissed her neck. She flattened her palms onto his chest.

“I’d say that I want you like this all the time, but I don’t think I’d get any work done knowing you were walking around the hallways of Emerson with no panties.” Garrett stepped back to admire her. She went to cover herself and he intervened. “No. Put your hands down. I want to see your pussy.”

“Garrett. Seriously, someone could see me.” Although she protested, she did what he said.

“Spread your legs open for me.” Garrett unzipped his pants.

“What if he sees us?” Wetness dripped down her inner thigh as she glanced over his shoulder. As loath as she was to admit it, the thought of being caught excited her. Her breath stopped as Garrett pulled his cock out of his pants and stroked himself.

“Touch your pussy,” he told her.

Selby went silent at his demand. She should say no. Every rational cell in her brain told her to stop as her hand delved into her folds. Drenched in her juices, she flicked her fingers over her clit and she moaned.

“You’re so fucking sexy, do you know that?” Garrett took two large strides over to meet her. He fisted his fingers into her hair and guided her mouth to meet his.

Selby gasped as he kissed her. His demanding, possessive kiss told her he owned her, and caused her to shiver at his touch. She swept her tongue against his, amazed at how this man could drive her mad with one command. Giving him access, she opened to him.
