“Here,” Caleb spoke, as soon as we made it to the pink food truck,“You really should try some.” He added, as I already felt guilty about breaking my diet. I also simply couldn’t resist the temptation. So, I grabbed a small slice of cake and took a bite. It was delicious, rich, and creamy with a hint of raspberry. And I couldn’t help but moan out, once the flavors hit my tongue. Caleb watched me with interest, his eyes somehow looking as if they had gotten a shade of brown darker now.“That right there is the best cake you will ever have. I’m glad you like it.” He laughed at me, showing me a dimple on one side of his cheeks.Of course, he has a dimple…He'll probably also have six absand that V on his lower abdomen, which would look sexy as sin when his pants would hang low…ow God… stop thinking Reese!“Thank you for bringing me here.” I nodded, feeling a little shy now that I had been thinking dirty thoughts about the man standing right in front of me. But then again, what woman wou
“I could have just walked along with you instead of you dragging me along.” She said with a wide grin, one that I had to return because everything about her intrigued me. “You could have run away,” I answered her as she licked her lips, and I had to use all of my self-control to not groan out at the sight of it, or to simply lean in and get a taste of my own.God, I want to kiss herso fucking badly!“I did apologize to you. I’m really not that horrible of a person, you just caught me at a bad time.” She stated as I had to fight the growing wood in my pants because I was finally being this close to her again. Having her all to myself.“Are you really a good person?” I asked, tipping my head to the side so I could study her even more up close. “Are you a player?” She asked me as she mimicked my movement, also tilting her head, and I took a mental note to make sure I would hold her head just like that when I would kiss her for the very first time. “Me? A player? God no.” I laughed, sh
Reese’s P.O.V. I looked at Caleb’s truck, which looked old and worn. It had rust spots and dents scattered across its body, but somehow, Caleb looked at it as if it was his most prized possession. A trade I had never seen on a professional athlete, men who used to drive the latest and most expensive cars around.huh… yet another surprise to show me that he is different…“What’s the story about this truck?” I asked him, trying to stir the conversation away from our kiss that had just happened. I mean… I wanted to start singing hallelujah and dance the foxtrot in full honesty, but I wasn’t planning on making the guy turn around and run for the hills because he would understand just how bananas I really was.but boy oh boy… that kissthat kiss had been something else…something else entirely. Caleb chuckled as he took his hand and rubbed it on the back of his neck as if somehow, the subject of his truck made him feel shy for a reason that I couldn’t quite understand. “It was my grandfa
Caleb’s P.O.V. I couldn’t believe how much I had already opened up to Reese during our night out together. I had never felt such a strong connection with anyone ever before, and I knew that I wanted to spend more time with her as well. I wanted to get to know every little detail there was to know about her. I wanted to know what made her smile, what ticked her off, hell… I wanted to know how to make her scream out my name too. Ever since I had arrived at the ‘Nice after work’ event tonight, my wolf had immediately picked up her scent, letting me know that she was in fact there and that my brother Jake had been right in his assumptions. Thank God, all teachers held a soft spot for anything kids related, and she had decided to be here tonight to sponsor this charity. If she would have not been there, I probably would have gone to pick up Dahlia from school the next day, if my wolf would even have been able to even wait that long to see her again. It had already been two days since I ha
Caleb's P.O.V. “I know, it's a big risk.” I said in a low voice.“But I cannot help the way I feel about her. She is the one, Jake. The way I feel about her… fuck, I never had that with anyone else.” I sighed, shaking my head. Jake also shook his head, his expression grim.“I am not saying that you should break things off with her, Caleb. But you have to be careful here. You need to keep our secret safe and hidden, no matter what.” He stated as I nodded, knowing that he was right, for now. I couldn’t let my feelings for Reese cloud my own judgment. I had to be responsible here. Not just for my own safety, but for that of my family as well.“I understand, Jake.” I said, my voice resolute.“I will be careful around her. I will not let anyone find out about our secret, no matter what.” I added, as Jake nodded, his expression finally softening.“I trust you, Caleb. I just want you to be safe. That’s all.” I felt a surge of gratitude toward my brother. Despite our differences, I knew that
“What wouldn’t I mind?” I heard his voice as soon as footsteps started to run down the stairs. I didn’t even have to turn myself around to know that it was Caleb this time. I had no idea where Nana had disappeared to. By the looks of it, she had just walked away from the house once I had come knocking, maybe she was back at the stables? I surely didn’t hear her around the house right now.“You wouldn’t mind if I made sure to Miss Reese over here, to be aware of the fire risk out here,” Zach spoke using a darn good poker face.“We have a lot of dry weather here, and the grass is pretty tall. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.” He spoke as he turned his back to his brother, sending me a playful wink behind his back.“Thanks for letting me know.” I smiled back at Zach, forcing myself not to laugh out loud. As soon as I turned myself around to look at Caleb, I saw how he walked straight my way, smiling that dangerous smile of his. He was wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a brown t-
Caleb’s P.O.V. As I had finished showing Reese around the land where I wanted to build my own home, I had found myself drawn to her even more. Maybe it was the fact that she had actually come today after school like she had promised me she would. Maybe it was seeing her walking around on the Loup ranch grounds as if she actually belonged there. Hell, maybe it was the fact that she was walking around on a piece of grass where I was about to build a home, not only for myself but for her as well, not that I was telling her that little fact already. At least, that was if my inner wolf had something to say about the matter. When I had spoken to my brothers, they had all told me that after my injury and my abrupt ending as a professional athlete, how they wanted me to find a new dream, a new meaning to my life, a new goal. And maybe I had just told Reese that building a home was that new meaning… what I really meant to say to her, was that my new meaning in life, my new goal… it was her.No
Caleb's P.O.V.“Her ex-boyfriend fucked her up, and now, she has trouble letting me in.” I sighed, my fingers gripping the steering wheel a little harder since speaking about that fucker out loud made me angry.“OK. Hear me out,” Jake spoke, looking out in front of him at the road.“That ex-boyfriend of hers is wherever the hell he is, doing whatever the hell he pleases. Right here, right now, you are here. Reese is here. You are going to be the guy that she will come to to keep her company. You’re the one that is texting her every day and every night, and don’t give me that look, I can hear your phone vibrate all the way to my room, wolf hearing and all.” He stated, making me roll my eyes at him because all of a sudden he sounded more like a father than a brother to me. “So, good luck. Go get her, chaise her, make her yours. Label whatever you want to get labeled.” He smiled at me, leaning in closer.“And besides, you don’t have the willpower to resist her either, your wolf will mak
