Se connecter“How do you know that?”“I’m an advisor to the club. Some of these kids need direction. Plus, it’s fun.”That surprised her. “What else do you do for fun in your free time?”“I hang out at the trap club. My cousins Colt and Kane roped me into refereeing at Little Buddies/Big Buddies flag football and basketball games. I shoot pool with Thurman, Warner and Ned.” He shrugged. “I’d rather do just about anything than stay home by myself. That ain’t fun.”“That’s completely the opposite of the way I am. I’d hole up in my condo in Dallas all the time, if I could.”“You love your place that much?”No. I just don’t have anywhere else to go.Tell kissed her forehead. “Well, I aim to change your antisocial ways now that you’re back here in the Wild West.”“And force me to have fun.”He grinned. “Yep. By any means necessary.”They wandered to the concession stand hand in hand. Tell struck up a conversation with the couple ahead of them in line.The woman kept sneaking looks at her, until Georgia
As soon as she was upright, he tugged her into his arms. Then his mouth was on hers, reminding her that he knew how to kiss. Georgia’s head was pleasantly muzzy by the time he pulled away.“I like hearing that happy little hum when I kiss you. Gets me all kinds of curious about what other noises you make when you’re turned on.”Georgia laughed softly. “Don’t get my hopes up that you’ll find out tonight.”Tell frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“Nothing. Where we going?”“To Bill’s Burger Shack in Hulett. Best burgers around. Been there yet?”“No. But first ice cream? And now burgers? You’d better have a plan to help me work off these extra calories, Tell McKay.”“I do.”“Which is…?” Should she mention sex burned a lot of calories?“If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise.”“I don’t like surprises.”“So I gathered. Come on. Let’s go.”The drive was beautiful. The years away from this area had allowed her to forget just how spectacular the scenery was. Had she ever really appreci
Tell shoved his younger brother. “Really, Dalton? That’s how you help, by suggesting Jess gives him a blow job—”“Whoa. No! I was gonna say a big tumbler of whiskey! Sheesh.” Dalton shoved him back. “Perverted much, bro?”Jessie giggled. “I have a hard enough time getting out of a chair, say nothin’ of getting down on my knees.”“And with that…we’re sending you home to your husband.”They followed her back to the house—still weird to think of it as Brandt and Jessie’s place. After Casper sobered up, he’d announced he wasn’t returning to live in Sundance and handed over his house to Brandt and Jessie. They’d hired Chet and Remy West for a complete remodel. Happy as he’d been for his brother and sister-in-law to have the family homestead, the place he’d grown up in wasn’t his home any longer.On the way to drop Dalton off, Tell asked, “Is it poker week?”“Got postponed since everyone is scattered. Cam and Domini took their kids to Disney World. Colby is testing new stock at Cash Big Cro
Even though it was just a little after one, they reloaded the equipment, deciding to call it a day.Jessie’s SUV bumped up the path to the fence.Brandt was down the hill before Jessie opened her door.Dalton and Tell weren’t far behind.The first thing Tell heard? Sweet Jessie snapping, “For Christsake, Brandt, will you move your ass and let me out of the damn car?”Okay. Maybe she wasn’t so sweet today.“What’s wrong?” Brandt demanded.“Nothin’ is wrong. I saw you forgot your water bottle and I knew it’d be hot out here, so I brought it to you.” She hoofed it up the small incline and gestured to Tell and Dalton, panting, “Brought you guys some too.”Seemed Jess’s belly had grown another six inches in the last week. She looked like she’d swallowed a beach ball.Not that Tell would share that observation with her.“Thanks, sweetheart,” Brandt said. “That’s mighty thoughtful, but aren’t you supposed to be—”“Locked in the damn house going out of my freakin’ mind? I’m supposed to sit ar
He couldn’t wait to get outside and do chores. Or more to the point, finish chores so he could come home, get cleaned up for his date with Georgia tonight.Hard to believe he had another date with Georgia Hotchkiss.He’d wanted to hang out with her longer yesterday, but he knew they’d wind up in bed and he wanted to wait.Why? Haven’t ten years been long enough? Or are you stalling because you’re afraid you’ll disappoint her in the sack?No. The younger version of himself might’ve been worried Georgia would find him lacking in bedroom skills. That definitely wasn’t the case now. He wouldn’t rush this; he had one chance to get it right.Juggling his coffee, he drove to Dalton’s place.Dalton ambled out after Tell honked three times. His brother wore sunglasses—never a good sign. He was either hungover or he’d been fighting or both.“Rough weekend, bro?”“Might say that.”Tell pointed at his shades. “Take ’em off and lemme see how bad.”Dalton slid his sunglasses down his nose, revealin
“And that experience came in mighty handy when you married a rancher, didn’t it?” Cord kissed her temple again. “Come on, baby doll, let’s get you home.”Georgia said, “Nice to meet you.” Cord nodded, but AJ didn’t say anything.Another snub.“AJ’s usually really sweet, but you wouldn’t know it today. Sorry about that.”“Looks like she has her hands full.” She smiled, trying to act like it didn’t bother her. “I’ve decided on an Oreo Blizzard.”They finished their ice cream in Tell’s pickup. Then Tell eased the seat back and patted his thighs. “You’re lookin’ a little cold. I’ll warm you up.”She put her knees by his hips, facing him as she sat on his lap. “Checking out my ni**les, were you?”That bold observation seemed to shock him. “What? No. I saw you shiver.”“Uh-huh. Maybe I shivered because I saw you eyeballing my chest, Tell McKay.”He placed his cold lips on the hollow of her throat. “It’s been distracting me all damn day because I know you ain’t wearin’ a bra.”Georgia rested
Brian watched Myrna button her shirt, hiding her sexy, lace bra from his appreciative gaze. The woman should be required to stay naked and in his bed at all times. Covering that body was an abomination. His sleep-muddled thoughts began to clear. Had she really just asked him to call a band meeting?“
Myrna shook her head at Brian. “We’ve been through this a hundred times. I’m not staying in L.A. with you.”“You can get your work done while we’re rehearsing and in the recording studio,” he said. “And we have a music video shoot in a couple of days. You can use that entire day to work.”Lounging on
He’d known the second he touched her he was done for. Ava needed him in a way no other woman ever had. He was a different man when he was with her, regardless if they were naked. So maybe that’s why he couldn’t freakin’ wait to get naked with her again, day after day after day.Seemed to take forev
“Probably their whole adult lives. Why?”She released a wistful sigh. “They’re beautiful. So in tune with each other. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to have that solid connection every day. I wish I had my video camera so I could capture their happiness.”Maybe Ava did understand more than he credi
