Be My Cowboy: An Alpha Cowboy and Curvy City Girl (Knox Dude Ranch Book 1) Read online

  I come so hard I almost pass out from the force of it. Once I get my breathing under control, I remove the rest of my clothes, shower quickly then lay down in the bed. Four in the morning will come quickly, but I know I won’t be able to sleep. I will be thinking of her.

  Arabella

  I’ve always been a morning person. I usually wake up at five and run on my treadmill in my apartment. I’m a girl that likes to eat, so I have to get my workouts in if I want to maintain my size sixteen body. I remember seeing a trail yesterday and I think it would be perfect for my run today. I put on my yoga pants and a sweatshirt over my sports bra. Putting my hair up in a ponytail, I do some stretches on my porch before taking off on my run.

  Running relaxes me. It allows me to zone out. Running not only helps keep me healthy, it also keeps my mind right. While running, I can’t help but appreciate the view. I run past the barn and see a few hands out there working with the horses. Once I’m warmed up, I take my sweatshirt off and wrap the sleeves around my waist. I run along the trail next to the river and I can’t help but think about Liam’s comment last night about how I wouldn’t really want to stay here. He is so wrong. I couldn’t imagine being with Liam and just up and leaving. If anything, this place is just a plus.

  My running is not as good as usual. I’m tired. I could barely sleep last night for thinking of that kiss with Liam. Man, he is hot. The woman he was with must be stupid to give him up. I wonder if he’s still in love with her. Lost in thought, I don’t see the man sitting on top of the horse in the path until I’m almost right up on him.

  “What are you wearing?” Liam asks me.

  I look down at myself and then back up at him. “Uh, you sure are worried about my wardrobe, aren’t you?”

  “Imagine that while I’m trying to get my employees to do their job, none of them can stop gawking at the half naked woman running around here and nothing is getting done,” he almost shouts at me.

  “I’m not naked, Liam. And nobody wants to look at this,” I tell him while I pinch over an inch that is showing in my midriff. I’m not embarrassed by my body. I learned long ago that people either like you or they don’t. That has nothing to do with you.

  “Put your shirt back on, Bella.”

  I smile at the way he shortened my name. But I cover it quickly. “It’s too hot. I’m not putting it back on. Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to finish my run.” I start to walk around him.

  Before I can take a breath, he is off his horse with his hands wrapped around my arms. “Look, Bella, I’m not going to do this. You are not going back down that trail where all those men can stare at you and come in their hands tonight from the image of you in that bra.” His breath is coming in heavily and I can see the tightness in his face.

  “So basically you don’t want me, but you want to make sure no one else can have me either? Is that right?” I ask him.

  “Bella, it’s not like that.”

  Liam

  But really it’s exactly like that. I know I can’t have her, but I would die before I let someone else have her. She has sweat dripping down her body and I watch a drop of it slip between her cleavage. I don’t think she realizes it but she’s almost indecent with her large breasts shown off in her bra. Her nipples are tight and I’m staring at them, willing myself not to reach out and touch one of them with my finger.

  I’ve lost all sanity, I know it. I pull her toward me roughly. I grab onto her ponytail and tug her head backwards to give me better access. I ravage her mouth, sucking on her bottom lip until she opens for me and I slip my tongue in to taste her sweetness. I get lost in that kiss as she presses her body against me and I know she feels my hard cock pressing into her belly. When I pull away, we are both breathing rapidly and sweating from the heat of our bodies and the rising morning sun.

  “Put your shirt on, Bella. Please?” I ask her one last time. I drop my hands and step back from her.

  She stares at me and neither one of us breaks the silence. I’m trying to not take her in my arms, put her on my horse and take her back to my home. I stand there frowning at her, knowing that I need some distance before I do something stupid.

  She stuffs her arms into the shirt. “You are crazy if you can’t see how good we could be together,” she says to me before running back down the path toward her cabin.

  Chapter 4

  Arabella

  After that day on the trail, Liam and I have spent some time together, but usually in a group. It’s almost like he doesn’t want to be alone with me. However, I can still feel the heat in his eyes and my body burns thinking about how good we could be together.

  I’ve been watching him these last few days and if possible, I’m even more attracted to him. Every animal he comes across, he takes care of. The love he has for this land is shown in everything he does. I have felt so much peace just being here, and I think I have made the decision that even if it doesn’t work out with Liam, I still plan on staying around. I’m going into town tomorrow to interview for a marketing position. I hope it works out.

  Some of the other guests and I are supposed to go on a group ride this afternoon. I decide to try and get to the barn a little early so I can talk to Liam before everyone gets there. When I get there, I walk toward the office, but before I go in, I hear voices.

  “So what’s up, Liam? If you aren’t going to take her out, you should let one of us,” I hear a man say.

  “Forget it, man. Hands off,” I hear Liam say and instantly my heart starts beating faster, slamming hard into my chest. I can’t stop the smile that forms on my face.

  “So you two are an item then?” the guy persists.

  “No, we are not an item. But anyway, there’s a no fraternizing rule anyway. You ask her out, you lose your job,” Liam states bluntly.

  “Woah, woah, dude. I don’t want to lose my job, I was just asking what is going on with you two. But whatever, she doesn’t look like your type anyway. She’s fatter than your ex for sure… but that fat ass does it for me, no doubt. I would –”

  I gasp and cover my mouth with my hands. I take off out of the barn door and run back to my cabin. My mind is going a mile a minute. So that’s it. I really thought he was attracted to me, but he’s not. I’m not his type. I’m too big.

  I run in and slam the door shut. I go to the couch, still surprised by what I heard. So not only is Liam probably still in love with his ex, she is a skinny ex. I groan and hold my head in my hands. I’ve basically been throwing myself at him, and he really isn’t interested in me. Obviously, I decide to skip the group ride. I call down to the barn and thankfully Liam doesn’t answer. I tell them that I’m not going to make it for the ride and I’m sorry for cancelling so late.

  Then I decide, instead of eating my emotions, I’ll grab a banana off the counter and start preparing for my interview in the morning. It’s too bad really. I know Liam and I would have been good together.

  Liam

  Man, what a night. First, I punch out one of our employees for talking about Arabella like he did, then I spend the whole two-hour ride worried about her because she called and cancelled her spot. As soon as I got back to the barn, I had one of the ranch hands take care of my horse and I sprinted over to her cabin to check on her. The lights were out but I still knocked softly. She didn’t answer.

  The next morning, after I tossed and turned all night, I finished taking care of all the animals, gave the hands their daily assignments, then walked over to Arabella’s cabin again. Knocking on the door, I still get no answer.

  By this point, I’m pissed off at anyone that crosses my path. I hate to, but I ask Mason if he has seen her.

  “Yes, I saw her this morning. I’m pretty sure she got in one of those new age taxis.”

  “You mean an Uber?”

  “Yes, I think so.”

  “Did she have her luggage with her?” I ask him hurriedly.

  “No, just that big purse she carries.” He laughs.

  I rush off wit
hout even thanking him. I try to keep myself busy working at the lodge, so I can see who’s coming and going in the driveway. I’m about to drive into town when I hear the crunch of gravel outside. I open the door and step out onto the porch.

  I finally let out the breath I’ve been holding when I see her step out of the car. I rush down the steps to her.

  “Where have you been?” I ask her.

  “Oh, hi, Liam. I went into town,” she tells me, then starts walking toward her cabin. There’s something different about her. Instead of the flirty Bella I’m used to, I get polite Arabella.

  I fall into step beside her. “So, you weren’t there for the ride last night. I missed you.”

  She pauses and looks over at me. But then she starts walking again, faster this time.

  We get to her porch and she says, “Well, I’ll see you later, Liam.”

  She goes to shut the door and I put my boot in it to block it. “What’s wrong? What happened?”

  She shrugs at me. “Liam, it’s okay.”

  Even more frustrated now, I shoulder my way into her cabin and close the door behind me. “Talk to me, Bella. What’s okay?”

  She blushes and her whole face is red. “I heard you yesterday. In the barn.”

  I stare at her, not having a clue what she means.

  “I’m not your type, I get it. I heard that I’m fat, nothing like your ex. And I wish you would have just told me instead of just letting me keep throwing myself at you.” She shrugs.

  “Matt said that. I didn’t. And I whooped his ass then fired him for talking about you the way he did.”

  Incredulously, she exclaims, “What?”

  “How could you hear what he said, but not hear what I said back at him or me kicking his ass?”

  She stutters and tries to walk away from me. “I left. I left when I heard what he said.”

  Chapter 5

  Arabella

  I try to back away from Liam, but he stops me with his hands on my shoulders.

  “Well, I thank you for sticking up for me. But you didn’t have to do that. It doesn’t change the fact that I’m not your type.”

  “Oh Bella, do you really believe that?” He pulls my face up to look at him.

  I shrug at him and try to look away.

  But he won’t let me.

  He pulls me close and wraps his arms around me. “Bella, when you walked into my life a mere five days ago, my world turned upside down. But I have fought it. I didn’t want to take a chance on you, on us, because I didn’t think I could take it if one day you left me. But I give in. I want you, honey. I can’t fight this.”

  I look at him in disbelief. “Are you sure?”

  He nods at me before touching his lips to mine. “I want you. I want you naked underneath me. Now.” And he pulls my shirt over my head. He leans in to kiss me, while unsnapping my bra. When he pulls my bra down my arms, he steps back and looks down at me. The lust is apparent in his face and he sucks his breath in. His nostrils are flared, and his breathing becomes heavy. His hands cup each of my breasts and he leans down and sucks one of my nipples into his mouth.

  At first contact, my pussy tightens, and my panties are soaked. He takes turns moving from one breast to the other and my legs about buckle at the intensity. He gets down on his knees and starts pulling my skirt down my legs. I step out of it and stand before him in only my panties. He leans into me with his nose at my crotch and inhales deeply.

  My legs shut together tightly. “No baby, I want to smell that sweet pussy. I’ve never smelled anything as sweet as that.” He pulls my panties down my legs and wastes no time before his mouth is on my wet slit. He presses me down to the couch and then pulls me to the edge. I’m laid out on the couch and I can’t take my eyes off him as he licks and caresses my swollen nub. His tongue presses tightly against my clit while his fingers slide in and out of me. My hips automatically gyrate against his face and I fill the room with my moans. When I’m close, my legs tighten up around his neck and he presses into me even harder. His rough hands grip my thighs, holding me down as he takes control of my impending orgasm. When his finger hits my G spot and he bites down on my clit, I come undone. I come for what seems like hours, but he doesn’t stop. He laps at my juices until my breathing comes back to normal.

  His chin is glistening with my juices, and he licks his lips. He pulls me up and kisses me. I taste myself on him, but instead of grossing me out, it intensifies the low pull in my belly.

  He stands up, still fully dressed, and he lifts me up like I weigh nothing. He carries me to the bedroom and lays me gently on the bed.

  “Take your clothes off, Liam. I want to see you.” He doesn’t hesitate and he pulls his clothes off until he is standing before me in nothing. His body is magnificent. His shoulders and arms are big and strong. He’s lean with abs and a narrow waist, and his thighs are like tree trunks. His cock is huge and it’s pointing right at me. I’ve never seen a cock as big as his and I tell him so.

  “It will fit,” he says to me as he strokes it in his fist.

  “That’s not going to fit inside of me, Liam,” I tell him as I back up on the bed to get away from him.

  He grips my thighs and pulls me to the edge of the bed. “It’s going to fit. If I had to guess, I would say it’s going to be a perfect fit,” he says confidently. His hands slide down my inner thighs and push my legs apart. He leans down and kisses me on the lips. I feel his hard bulge press against my wet swollen center and instinctively I lift my hips to get closer to him.

  “I want to be inside you, Bella. With nothing between us. I’m clean.” He kisses my neck and down my body.

  “I’m clean too. And I’m on the pill,” I moan as he captures my nipple in his mouth.

  Liam

  When she mentions being on the pill, my whole body stills. For the first time, I imagine having a child of my own and the image of Bella rounded with my baby makes my heart skip a beat. I realize I want to breed her. I want to put my seed in her and tie her to me for eternity.

  “Liam, don’t stop, don’t stop,” she tells me, arousing me from the thoughts in my head.

  I kiss her one more time before gripping my dick and lining it up to her warm tunnel. I enter her slowly and have to stop when I’m only a quarter of the way in. I still and try to get a hold of myself or I’m going to shoot off inside her before we even get started. She’s lifting her hips, forcing me to enter her farther and farther. When I can’t take any more, I plunge into her hot, tight channel. Her pussy is gripping me and I can barely move in and out of her with the tight hold she has on me.

  I put my hand between us and work her nub as I penetrate her. Her body is thrashing underneath me and I can tell she is about to lose control. With each time I pound her, the bed batters into the wall and the only sound in the room is the banging of the bed and the moans coming from both of us. When I know I’m about to come, I apply more pressure to her clit and tell her, “Come for me, Bella. Come with me.”

  And when she comes, she screams out my name as I shoot inside of her while her pussy walls clench on to me, milking me dry.

  I pull out and lay down beside her. We are both breathing heavily, but once I am able to, I go clean myself off and come back to the bed and gently wipe her clean. The mixture of our fluids inside her pretty pink pussy does something to me. I kiss her mound and then lay back down beside her.

  When I pull her to me, she sighs happily into my chest. “Can we do that again, Liam?”

  “We will be doing that a lot, baby. Once is definitely not enough,” I tell her as I yawn. It’s not long before we are both sleeping soundly, even though it’s only midafternoon.

  It’s a while later when I wake up. Bella is between my legs, tentatively licking my already hardened cock. I moan when she takes a big swipe up the length of me. I gather her hair out of her face so I can watch her lips wrap around me. Her big eyes are looking up at me and I have to admit I could wake up to this every day for the rest of my life. And
I tell her so.

  She moans with her lips still wrapped around me and the vibration has me lifting my hips off the bed. I grab her shoulders and pull her up the bed until she’s straddling me. Her pussy is wet and pressed against my lower belly while my cock is lying against her bottom. “What about it, Bella? Can I wake up every day like this?”

  She smiles widely at me and nods her head. She lifts up and aligns her opening with my cock. With one stroke, she is fully seated on my cock. When I bottom out in her, we both moan loudly. She starts circling her hips and raising herself up and down, riding me. My hands are gripping her thighs as I pound into her.

  Her big beautiful breasts are swaying with every thrust and she looks like a goddess as she confidently rides me. She leans back on her arms, causing me to hit her at a different angle. I look down between us and her clit is swollen, sticking out from her hood, begging to be touched. I put my hand on her and rub her in circles, causing her to ride me with even more intensity.

  “Oh fuck, oh fuck, Liam.” And her hips tighten up as she comes, causing me to shoot my cum, coating her inner walls. Afterwards, she’s exhausted and leaning down across my chest. I pull the hair back from her face and kiss her forehead.

  I lift her off of me and carry her into the bathroom. We stand under the hot spray and I squirt shampoo into my hand before rubbing it into her hair. I massage her scalp and comb the liquid through her long mane and then rinse it out. I put soap on a cloth to wash her body. When I get between her legs, I wash her folds gently. She reaches for me, but I back away. “Baby, you’re going to be sore. You are swollen and red down here. Let me take care of you.”

  After I wash her, I clean myself off really quickly. She watches me as I do and my cock is hard again, but I will myself to have some self control. I dry her off and then myself before we get dressed. I put on my underwear and she puts on a T-shirt.
