Chapter 70 Falling for RJ
Alexandra never tired of his caresses or of his kisses. The way that his strong hands became so tender and soft as he caressed her was nothing short of amazing. His kisses were full of passion, and they made her tingle all over with a burning desire. When he kissed her, all sorts of things happened down below, and as he caressed her, they only intensified.
What he did with his hands, his lips, and his tongue was beyond exquisite, and she gasped at the feelings that shot through her. In mere minutes, he had expertly brought her to several climaxes, and she was crazy with the desire to feel him inside of her.
“I want you inside me,” she whispered.
“Ummm,” he grinned, winking. “Already? I was just gettin’ started.”
He had plenty of talent when it came to taking care of her every need, sending her to new levels of pleasure as he expertly moved from one position to another until they were exhausted. He continued to caress her as they caught their breath.
“God, I love the way that you make love to me,” she whispered.
“You do, huh?” he replied.
“I think you hit every possible place and then some,” she said. Her body tingled all over, and it felt so good to feel him at her side. The past month had been a whirlwind of pleasures. The bareback riding had been one of the most satisfying experiences that she had enjoyed to date, until they had started making love. The first time had been so natural, and they had fallen into it so easily. It hadn’t been right away; in fact, they had known each other a couple of weeks before they found themselves in his bed in a motel room.
She loved how it felt to be seen at his side. She loved watching the other ladies as they wondered what hidden secrets she knew about. She loved being treated with just a little bit of extra attention whenever they went out to eat or went somewhere where he was recognized, which was just about everywhere. They had traveled to the same rodeos, and she had continued to do her with Evelyn by day and indulge her passion at night. The only part that was difficult for her to watch was when he was riding one of those enormous and dangerous animals. She had seen enough to know that severe pain and injuries were common, and she held her breath the entire time that he was on the back of the animal.
At night, after he had ridden, she helped ease the strained muscles and soreness that came along with eight seconds of the most extreme stress and strain that a body can experience. He had been slammed into the chute gate and bruised his ribs. He had a severe scrape on his thigh where a hoof had glanced across the side of his leg. Only the chaps and heavy denim jeans had prevented it from being ripped open.
He came out of the arena and straight into the medical tent one evening with blood pouring from his chin, which had caught the blunt end of a horn. After a dozen stitches, he was laughing with as much gusto as he had before. After each injury, he seemed to recover in time to get on the back of another bull.
She remembered how she had been such a total baby after her injury. His weren’t quite as severe, but the pain didn’t even slow him down. His lovemaking was as intense after an injury as it had been the night before. She was amazed at the durability of his body, but more amazed at the durability of his mind. She could see that he was afraid as he was preparing himself behind the chutes. He covered it up by joking around and laughing. The other bull riders also treated her with respect and included her in their playful banter. It was a wild life, and she could see how they had become addicted to it. The adrenaline rush for her was incredible, and she could only imagine how it was for the cowboys.
Performance after performance, she was there watching, cheering him on, wincing in pain, and making love to him before, after and between. He had stolen her heart. She had thought it impossible, but in the end, the dashing and daring blue-eyed cowboy had completely overtaken her.
After some time, she was beginning to believe that she might have found her true love. He seemed to share the same feelings. He treated her well. He was always polite and did not make fun of her in front of others. He spoke to her with deep honesty about the things dearest to his soul. It had all of the makings of a long-term commitment, and Alexandra was ready to let herself go.
Even Evelyn could see the intensity of their relationship and enjoyed having him come around. A time or two, a friend of his would come along, and the four of them would go out to eat, go to a movie, or to the carnival. It even provided some relief to Evelyn as her stress increased as the season continued, and she found herself sitting in the number two spot in the world standings. She was making some decent money and had finally won a couple of performances.
Alexandra thought of all of these things as she lay in RJ’s arms and felt his fingers caressing her. “Babe?” she said softly.
“Yes?”
“Evelyn and I have to go back to Nevada tomorrow.” She had saved it for that particular moment, hoping to ease the shock. “I wish that you could come with us.”
“I wish I could, too,” he replied. “I’d love to see the place. I could take a week off.”
“No,” she said. “You’re on a roll and the next show is too big for you to miss.”
“Yeah,” he said. “I’d hate to miss it. It could put me out of reach and guarantee me for the finals.”
“You have to go,” she said. “Evelyn told me that it was one that she could afford to miss. She needs to take the show horses back to the ranch. Since she’s making pretty good money in the barrel racing, she is going to focus only on that. She has a shot at taking over the lead.”
“She sure does,” he said. “It appears that you’re good luck for both of us.”
“Besides,” she said. “In two weeks is Cheyenne, and we can meet up again when I get there. You’ll be in Cheyenne, won’t you?”
“Everybody will be in Cheyenne, Sweetheart.”
She turned toward him and looked into his eyes. “Okay, then,” she said. “Make love to me one more time, and then I’ll see you in Cheyenne.”
“Yer the boss,” he said, taking one of her nipples into his mouth.
