A Ballad for Her Cowboys Read Online Free Page B

head to hold her steady and thrusting between her lips again.
    Aiden, who had done no more than grunt and pant behind her, suddenly got more eloquent. ‘I can feel your cunt sucking on me. That’s it, Misty, just like that. Oh fuck, I can’t hold…I’m…’
    A moment before his ragged, broken words tipped Misty over the edge into her own orgasm, she heard Seth begin to gasp, and felt the first splash of hot semen on her tongue. From that point on, she didn’t know what way was up or who did what to whom. She just rode out the sensations, shaking and crying in pleasure, until they ebbed away, and she collapsed onto the bed where Seth and Aiden left her. The last thing she heard before sleep dragged her under was the sounds of them panting and breathing hard on either side of her.
    When she woke at the first light of dawn, they were still asleep. Misty slid out from between them after untangling her limbs from a mass of arms and thighs, threw her clothes on quickly and stole from the room.
    In the cold light of morning, Misty couldn’t quite bring herself to regret what she’d done, but she couldn’t fight a little stab of shame at her actions either. And she certainly did not need to make things worse by hanging around waiting for an awkward good-bye with the two men who fucked her senseless.
    Misty would be out of town before they got out of bed.

    Chapter 2
    Present day—Broken Jaw, Arizona.
    ‘Do you think you could have warned me first?’
    Seth stopped him in his tracks, grabbing his arm. Aiden shrugged him off. ‘What the fuck is wrong with you?’
    ‘Did you know she worked here?’
    Aiden shot Seth a hard look, insulted that his friend thought him such an idiot. ‘Now how in the hell would I have known?’
    ‘You arranged this job for us.’ Seth still didn’t look convinced.
    ‘That’s right. I ensured the business that’s been in my family for generations went down the crapper at the exact right time so we could get a shitty job in the middle of nowhere in order to chase some woman we fucked years ago, who, incidentally, couldn’t wait to get away from us.’
    ‘Breathe, buddy.’
    Seth laughed and the anger seeped out of Aiden. He’d said a mouthful that was for sure. But then Seth shouldn’t ask such damn fool questions.
    ‘It’s not like I checked first to see who else would be working here. You know this opportunity came up at a moment’s notice.’
    ‘Yeah I know. I’m sorry.’ Seth took off his hat and dragged a hand through his hair, a sure sign he felt uneasy. ‘I guess it was just a surprise to see her. I can’t say it was a pleasant one.’
    ‘Well, she didn’t look mighty pleased to see us, either. I guess that’s why she disappeared as soon as she finished her set.’
    ‘She’s got no reason to feel that way. As I recall, it was her who skipped out of town without a backward glance and hasn’t thought about us since.’
    Aiden winced at the pain in Seth’s voice. ‘She has no idea we spent all that time looking for her. Misty is probably just embarrassed to be reminded of something she’s obviously ashamed of, that’s all.’
    ‘That doesn’t make me feel any better.’ Seth’s wry humor didn’t reach his smile. ‘That was the best damned night of my life.’
    Aiden slapped him on the shoulder. ‘I know buddy. Mine, too.’
    ‘And she doesn’t even know it. How fucked up is that?’
    There was much she didn’t know. For instance, she had no idea how pissed they’d been to wake up after the night they’d spent together and find her gone. Misty had no way of knowing they wanted to stay in touch. Aiden suspected Seth blamed him for not making that clear to her—although why Seth couldn’t have told her was a mystery to him.
    She also didn’t know that they’d spent a year looking for her during their rare free time and that they’d finally tracked her down—only to find her in the arms of the man whom she just married, they were told by the guy
