Levi frowned. “You didn’t meet him alone, did you?”
“No,” I said, running my finger down the side of his handsome face. “Marshall was already here, starting his workday. He met him at the gate and drove him down to the barn.”
“How did it go?” Levi asked, moving toward the fork and picking it up. He headed to the wheelbarrow and got a fresh bunch of hay and tossed it into Apollo’s stall.
“I think it went well. He was impressed with the horse and his lineage, and also our setup. He’s going to ship his mare down here to stay for a few months.”
“Here?”
“It was part of my deal. My horses don’t leave the ranch. Ever.”
Levi laughed. “Guess he wanted the old guy’s sperm pretty badly.”
“Oh yeah, he did. I told him I would handle it myself, as I always do. He wants the foal as close to the first of the year as possible.”
“You don’t have many thoroughbreds on the ranch. Why not?”
I shrugged. “I’m not interested in breeding racehorses. My heart belongs with all horses, but it favors the quarter horses.”
After getting enough hay in the stall, we both walked out and shut the door.
“When can you take a break?” Levi asked in a lowered voice. His eyes were smoldering, and even if I had a million more things to do, I was immediately free.
“I can take a break now. All my stalls are done, and I just have some paperwork to catch up on.”
Levi took hold of my hand and tugged me in the direction of my office. “Is your mom in her office today?”
I couldn’t help the giggle that slipped free. “She isn’t right now. She and my father ran into town to do some stuff at the store.”
Turning the last corner, Levi headed straight to my office. Once we were inside, he shut and locked the door, then pushed me against it and kissed me like it was the last time he would ever get to do so.
“The dreams I had about you last night, Em. I woke up jacking off. I came so fucking hard, I nearly blacked out.”
The pulse between my legs grew stronger. “Is that so?” Lifting his hat off his head, I tossed it onto the small loveseat I had in my office, while Levi placed hot kisses up and down my neck. “I had dreams about you, too.”
He drew back and looked at me, a twinkle in his brown eyes. “What did you dream about?” My cheeks instantly heated, and Levi grinned. “Something naughty?”
I nodded as he reached down and pulled my shirt over my head. He tossed it to the floor, then cupped my breast with his hand and started sucking the nipple through the fabric.
“Levi,” I gasped, dropping my head against the door.
“Tell me what your dream was, Em.”
He pulled the cups of my bra down, causing my breasts to lift, fully on display for him. Cupping them both, he sucked on one while fingering the other. My mind was spinning, and I was starting to lose the ability to even think straight.
“What?” I asked in a dreamy voice.
He stopped and looked at me. “What was your dream about? I want exact details.”
I stared at him, unable to get my thoughts together in my head as I felt him grinding against my body. Then he started to unbutton my jeans. I did the same to him and slipped my hand into his pants, feeling his warm, hard erection.
“The dream…” I whispered as I licked my lips. “I want to taste you, Levi.”
“Was that your dream?” he asked, crouching to pull off my boots, setting them aside so he could take my jeans off.
I shook my head. “No.”
He lifted my leg and placed a soft kiss against the inside of my thigh, and I moaned.
