chuckled and pecked her cheek. “I’ve a

    “ Promise.”

FIREWORKS

    Her body hummed with anticipation as Leland
tugged gently on her hand, dragging her away from the gathered
crowd to a more secluded area. They moved away from the busy
pavilion where the ranch’s employees and family were busy setting
out their lawn chairs for the perfect spot to watch the fireworks
display. This year, as Leland’s new wife, Pepper had accepted the
task of organizing the Fourth of July picnic from her
mother-in-law. It was a passing of the torch, so to speak, between
generations. She’d done her very best—and now Leland meant to
reward her.
    Pepper kept close to Leland’s back, trusting
him to guide her through the darkness. His boots crunched brittle
grass. The stark whiteness of his Stetson stood out against the
inky purple skyline. He radiated such heat it intensified the scent
that was so uniquely him. Cedar. Leather. Sweat. She yearned to
bury her nose against his neck and inhale deeply. Already her
thighs clenched with need. Desire rode low and hard in her belly.
All day he’d teased her with lingering kisses and touches, his hand
sometimes playfully swatting her backside or resting on the curve
of her waist.
    Leland halted so suddenly her nose bumped
his back. Turning around, he gave a soft chuckle and swept her into
his arms. Pepper melted into his embrace. She loved the feeling of
his big, strong arms wrapped around her shoulders. Only with this
man, her lover, her husband, had she ever felt so safe and secure.
Leland was everything she’d ever wanted and more.
    Desperate for a taste of him, Pepper rose on
tiptoes and skimmed her lips over his chin. The barest hint of
stubble rasped her plump mouth. He turned into her searching lips
and claimed her mouth with the most tender of kisses. She loved
this side of him, the gentle and kind lover behind the rugged
cowboy. Riding the pastures or working in the pens, Leland was as
harsh and hard as the situation required, but with her, he shifted
completely, leaving all that roughness at the door. He often
surprised her with his sweetness and the little romantic gestures
she’d never expected from such a man’s man.
    Of course, there were nights when Leland
unleashed his control and was wild with her. She’d never imagined
one could find such exquisite pleasure from the stinging thud of a
properly applied leather strap or the kiss of a flattened palm
against her backside. Her satiated body often proudly bore the
marks of those nights for days. A ripple of excitement shook her
core. Was tonight one of those nights?
    “ Wait here.”
    Pepper nodded and stood still as Leland
moved away from her. The moonlight provided just enough glow over
the private patch of grass and trees to allow her to see Leland
clearly. He plucked a patchwork quilt from a wicker picnic basket
and spread it out on the ground. Smiling wickedly, he held out his
hand. She needed no further invite and hurried to him.
    Ever so gently, Leland guided her down to
the quilt. She snatched the cowboy hat from his head and set it
aside. His fingers threaded through her loose hair as he pressed
her back to the blanket and captured her lips. Pepper arched into
him. His thick cock strained against the front of his jeans and
jutted against her navel. Her sex pulsed with need. She clutched at
his sides as he devoured her mouth, his tongue darting between her
lips. He tasted of sugary sweet iced tea and blueberries and she
couldn’t get enough.
    “ Leland.” Her breathless
whisper pierced the quiet night. In the distance, the murmur of
voices and laughter could be heard. Pepper tried to remember they
weren’t completely out of earshot of their guests.
    She shivered as his rough hand cupped her
knee and slid along the curve of her bare thigh beneath the skirt
of her flirty sun dress. Leland nuzzled her neck and nipped lightly
at a
