I arched an eyebrow in her direction and wrapped an arm around her waist. Then, I dropped it lower and grabbed her ass. “Can you blame me?”
She leaned over and kissed me in a way that brooked no argument. She did not blame me.
“Maybe later,” she whispered into my ear.
Hell yes.
Now that I was out of the clubhouse, away from Miranda, and out on the course, I felt more like myself. There were plenty of people mingling around who could recognize me, but with my hat pulled low over my eyes and without a club in my hands, most people just walked by. It was only the occasional wide-eyed PGA girl or devoted middle-aged man. Both were harmless in small quantities.
Heidi took it all in stride. I was so used to this environment that I hadn’t even thought to prepare her for what was to come. Of course, I was just the guy she’d known in high school when we were in Lubbock. I was a different person out here, but I was enjoying her perception of it. Everything was a new adventure, and she wanted answers to all of her questions—how many tournaments I played, how much you could win, the dynamics of the game, who everyone was, what the importance of different clubs were, and on and on.
I enjoyed telling her all about my first love—golf.
The more time I spent with Heidi, the more I realized she was my second.
By the time we returned to our hotel room later that day, we were both exhausted and starving, and Heidi was a little sunburned.
“Fucking sun! I put on sunscreen,” she groaned.
“You are kind of pale.”
“Kind of pale?” she asked, sticking her arm out for me to investigate. “I was a ghost, and now, I’m a lobster.”
“You’re just a little pink. We’ll get you a hat for tomorrow and some better sunscreen.”
She sighed. “I am going to look ridiculous in my dress tonight. Nothing like tan lines in a strapless dress.”
“Why don’t we skip it?” I suggested.
“What? That was the whole reason we came—because you got the tickets from Ryan.”
“That gave me the push to bring you, but really, I just wanted to spend some time with you and show you a golf tournament. One day, I want to get back to this. I hope I can get back to this. And, when I do, I wanted you to see what it was like.”
“Golf groupies always throwing themselves at you?” she asked.
“That is an unfortunate part of the job, but most of the golfers on the Tour are deeply devoted to their girlfriends or wives and would never deal with that nonsense. And that’s all it is—nonsense.”
“Is that how you met Miranda?”
I sighed and nodded. “Well, she wasn’t exactly a groupie. She was a nurse for the Tour. So, I saw her all the time since we traveled to a lot of the same events.”
“She was a nurse? Didn’t see that coming.”
“Yeah. She quit after we got married.”
“Huh. And you didn’t think that weird. Like she planned it all along?”
“There are a lot of things that I regret about being with Miranda,” I told her. “And, though I see her for the person she is now, I didn’t at the time. None of it matters now. All that matters is that I have you.” I kissed her forehead and then her nose and then her lips. “You never hide yourself from me, and I don’t have to be someone different for you. That is why I think we should skip the dinner.”
She laughed lightly. “That’s why?”
“I’d rather do anything other than run into my ex. How about you?”
“All right,” she said with a nod. “What do you have in mind?”
“Anything. Let’s go find a restaurant and have our own dinner.”
“That sounds nice,” she said. All the tension left her shoulders. It was as if she had been afraid of seeing Miranda, too. “But I’m going to need a shower first.”
I tugged Heidi into the bathroom. The best part of the suite we had was the enormous stand-up shower with waterfall jets. We eased each other out of the clothes we had worn all day on the course and stepped into the steamy spray. My hands slid up and down her wet body and then up into her long hair. She released a soft moan when I ran my fingers across her scalp.
“Mmm, Landon. We’re never leaving this shower,” she whispered.
“You’re damn right about that.”
My fingers slipped between her legs and tenderly worked on her clit.
“A whole new definition of water hole,” she said with a laugh.
Then, she dropped to her knees before me.
“Fuck,” I groaned.
I’d been thinking about all the fun we could have today, but fuck, I hadn’t expected her to just drop like that. Then, my dick was in her mouth—hot and wet and fucking amazing. I lost all conscious thought at that point. Her tongue was lapping at my cock. Her hand worked it up and down. She even made this low humming sound that sent vibrations straight through my body. I shuddered as she bobbed up and down, fucking me with her mouth.
“Heidi,” I groaned, sinking my hand into her hair.
“Mmm…”
“Let me fuck you.”
“Mmm,” was her response.
I felt my dick twitch in her mouth. Fuck, she was goddamn good at that. I was barely holding on. If she kept at it, I was going to come in her mouth, and I really, really wanted to get inside her.
“Heidi,” I said, “bend over right the fuck now.”
Her eyes popped up to mine, and she slowly released my dick. “Right now?”
“Ass in the air, love.”
She could barely fight a grin as she turned around, put her hands on the bench in the shower, and showed me her ass. God, I loved everything about her, but she had an awesome ass.
I moved my hands to her cheeks and spread them wide for me. Then, I palmed my cock and eased into her pussy. She moaned and pushed back against me, getting me just that much deeper.
I wanted all of her. Every last inch. And so much more.
There was not a part of me that she hadn’t touched. And, whether she knew it or not, I was a goner. No matter the barriers between us, Heidi Martin had managed to eradicate them all from my mind. There was only her and here and now. And, when we were together, nothing else mattered.
Just the feel of her and the taste of her. That smile. That touch. That moan.
Everything about her.
And she had no idea what she was doing to me. How completely and utterly she had stolen my heart.
Our bodies rocked together in perfect sync. The hours at the course slipped away. She tightened around me. I slipped one finger between her cheeks and moved it against her pucker. When she clenched even harder, greedily pushing back against me, I eased a digit inside her. She cried out in pleasure at the feel of being filled, and my dick lengthened almost painfully as her body shook.
We came together in the heat of the moment with the water beating down on us and the steam clouding the room. Heidi dropped to her knees, panting, as her orgasm took her over. And I stood, staring down at her in awe. She might have fallen to her knees, but I felt as if I had just given her a piece of me that I’d never given away.
I knelt beside her and brought her lips to mine. “I love you,” I whispered into the embrace.
She stilled and pulled back to look at me. Her eyes were wide with excitement and terror. As if she had wanted to say it all along but had been holding back. “I love you, too.”
