Chapter 5
Steve was startled awake with sudden banging on his hotel door. It took him a few seconds to remember where he was, what had happened and why he had been awakened. He sat on the edge of the bed rubbing his eyes trying to shake the sleep from his mind before he answered the door. However, the banging began again and he knew he needed to get up.
He slipped on a pair of jeans over his skivvies and buttoned them up as he got to the door. Steve looked through peephole and saw the Sheriff standing there, so he opened the door, stepped way back to allow the massive Sheriff to squeeze through the door. Then he got the surprise of his life as April followed him into the room.
She had changed clothes and was wearing a very short sundress that fit like a second skin showing off her spectacular figure magnificently. She was not dressed up and was wearing just your average sundress, but on her it looked like a prom dress. Steve was thinking that she could be wearing a burlap sack and still outshine every woman in the county.
The scoop neck showed the tops of her buoyant breasts, but to make them even more tantalizing she had left the top buttons unbuttoned. The extra cleavage gave her breasts a mouthwatering appeal. Similarly, she unbuttoned bottom of the sundress, leaving him with enticing glimpses of her upper thighs as she sashayed into the room. Steve was beginning to understand how everyone in this town was enamored with this young woman. Even dressed casually she knew how boaster her enticing elegance.
Just like her father took over a room with his commanding presence, April did the same with her sultry beauty. She had a small bandage in her hair from her head wound, but all Steve saw was her brilliant fetching smile as she lit up the room. Steve caught himself holding his breath as she entered the room and suddenly felt embarrassed to be standing shirtless in front of royalty.
Steve could tell she was in full cock tease mode, but he had no idea why she was giving him the treatment. He glanced at the Sheriff for some kind of explanation, but was met by a stoic stare. The Sheriff's look told him this was April's show and he was only their protection if needed. Steve crossed his arms over his chest and looked back at April, waiting for her to explain what this was all about.
April got her first look at her savior and he took her breath away. She had obviously just woken him from his sleep, with his two-day growth of beard and his close cropped, brown hair still wild about his head. His eyes were still full of sleep but startled as he saw her enter the room. April's smile widened because she loved to make an entrance, do the unexpected and catch people off guard. She knew with the right dress, the right makeup and a dazzling smile she could get anything she wanted.
Word spread in the hospital that Steve was a handsome, rugged and good-looking guy. That would've been enough to garner her attentions but he had also saved her and brought her to the hospital. She owed him at least a thank you, but if he looked anything like everybody said she might give him more than just some words. She smiled to herself as she thought about a long tease on her hunky savior.
She needed to tease someone every once and a while, just to get the juices flowing. She craved the attention and wanted every male in the county to lust after her, but no one could actually touch her. She had two previous lovers and both had been total disappointments. Both had been so intimated by her beauty and wealth that she never even got warmed up before they were done. She was done with boys, but still craved a big, strong man. For the most part she enjoyed being a tease and driving the men or boys crazy.
Being Alpine's preeminent beauty queen and the richest woman in the county made her unapproachable. She wound up being the dominant of any relationship she had ever had. It was a role she relished in the town, but not when she was with a man. She wanted to find a man that could dominate her allowing her to feel like a real woman. She badly wanted be pursued and taken by a strong man allowing her to reveal in her femaleness. Steve was not intimidated by her and she loved the way his eyes took what they wanted, hotly caressing her.
The Sheriff had insisted on accompanying her, because they still didn't know how she wound up in the middle of the highway. Steve was still officially a suspect, even though he did have an alibi for the time she went missing. April did not mind having the Sheriff with her, but the minute she laid eyes on Steve she forgot the Sheriff was there.
She liked what she saw with his broad chest, heavily muscled arms and flat taut stomach. His body was that of someone who had to work for a living. He was hard, rugged and powerful, but at the same time handsomely masculine. She felt her body react viscerally, instantly wanting to run her hands through his downy chest hair and feel those muscles rippling under her fingers.
She liked an imposing man, one that could tower over her and hopefully dominate her. Steve was almost a foot taller than she and he was imposing, both physically and mentally. She always used her beauty to disarm anyone in her presence, but with him she felt his commanding presence deep in her womb. It had been a long time since she had seen a man that she wanted and she wanted this one.
She felt as if she must've been out of practice. All she had to do was walk into a room and men would fall at her feet, but not Steve. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked annoyed at her interruption. April never got that kind of reaction and had to steady her resolve as she walked into the room. She wondered if maybe she shouldn't have unbuttoned a few more buttons on her dress before she came in.
April walked up to Steve draped her arms around his neck and pulled him to her lips. In a husky voice she whispered, "I wanted to come by and thank you personally for saving me!" Her gratitude morphed into something else as her lips hungrily grabbed on to his. Her kiss was demanding and ravenous as she tried to dominate his mouth. She was trying to intimidate him with her bold, brazen kiss, but that didn't happen.
Steve was startled and even a little embarrassed as she strode into the room, but all that was forgotten as her arms wrapped around his neck. Automatically his arms wrapped around her soft lithe body, pulling her against his. Her kiss challenged him and he felt himself respond as he defied her obviously intimating manner. He wrestled control from her as his tongue forced its way between her lips seizing control of her mouth.
