Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I haven’t had a boyfriend in a dreadfully long time. My vibrator gets a seriously intense workout.”
Ray chuckled. “I’ll take a wild guess and say it’s probably been longer since I’ve been with someone than you have.”
“Then don’t leave.”
“I just need to figure something out. I can’t stay forever. What would I even do?” His eyes lowered. “Give me peace.”
“Is that what all the cowboys say?”
“I’m not a cowboy, Sunnyside.”
“I think you are.” I took a chance, sliding around and straddling his hips so w...

“I don’t need to know your reputation because I know you. People selling click-bait headlines see the falling star. I see the galaxy.”
“I heard you did some underwear modeling. Color me curious.”
“Did you like what you saw?” All I could do was nod. The man in the black and white photos, who had miles of muscle and tattoos, hadn’t stolen my breath. The one in front of me had.
I couldn’t get enough. No matter how deep or how long we kissed, it wasn’t enough.
My breath hung on that desperation. I wanted him to want me as much as I craved him.
“Come here,” he said softly as he drew my lips to his again. “I need one more taste.”
“Am I fired?” she yawned. I chuckled. “Not today.”
“How is it possible I missed someone this much?” she said softly. “The moment I left the ranch on Friday, I started counting down until I could come back.”
“Sounds like you just missed the ranch.”
“I missed you.”
I appreciated that Brooke offered help, but also acknowledged that it was just that—an offer. She knew I could do it on my own.
It had everything to do with the fact that I hadn’t been touched like this in a long time. It wasn’t just the way we had kissed last night. It was her hands on me in simple touches that weren’t meant to move me or fix me.
“You’re not taking advantage of me, Ray.” She smirked. “Besides. I can run faster than you.”
It was care, connection, intimacy, and tenderness. It made me feel human again. Like a man.
She made me feel like I could be wanted.
“Why don’t you come in today?” He rubbed the back of his neck. “You know… with me. It’s hot out, and I don’t want you sitting in the truck that long.”
“Will you come in with me today?” “Look, if it’s about the heat, I’ll find a coffee shop or somewhere to hang out.” “It’s not about the heat. I... I want you to come in.”
“Please.”
I squeezed his hand. “I’d...

“I’ll sit over there until you’re done,”
“You can come back with me.”
My heart did an extra little pitter...

“I haven’t brought someone back with me before. They always waited outside or in the lobby. But I... I want you there. Other people bring their... people with them.”
“I think we’re just doing each other a favor. Me being there keeps people from pestering him.”
“I’d say it’s probably more than that. He’s been different the last few weeks. More motivated. In the early months, he wouldn’t talk to us at all. He’d just half-ass it through his session and go home. I wanted to think someone in the office had a breakthrough with him, but I think it’s been you.”
“Well damn. If I had known all it took to get you motivated was a pretty girl, I would have rush-ordered some cardboard cut-outs,”
I had woken up in those arms. I had laid against that chest. I had been cradled by those muscles. The lips that were parted with each labored breath had kissed me and stolen mine.
“For every time you couldn’t get up before, get up now. And if you can’t get up now, know that you will someday.”
“I’m proud of you.”
“I’m not that bad!” “Baby, I mean this nicely, but you’re the worst driver I’ve ever seen.”
“I have to start wearing more than gym shorts around you.”
“What? Why? You should wear whatever’s comfortable. It’s not like we’re in an office or something.”
I brought her hand to the front of my shorts and pressed her palm to ...

“Don’t look so surprised. You did this to me the night we kissed outside. Hell, you’ve done this every day since you showed up in my driveway.”
“Ray—”
Her breathless whisper of my name made my dick throb against her palm. Br...

“Is it wrong if I want you?”
“Yes,” I growled. “It is.”
“You’re my... boss.” She gasped when I latched onto her throat and sucked. “That’s right.” “And I... I signed... an...” “You signed what?” I said as I kissed up her jaw.
“If you want this, you can have it. But we do it my way. You will do exactly what I say. No strings. And not a word to the agency you work for.”
“You’re wet for me, aren’t you?”
“Drop your shorts. I’ll get you off. Get you feeling good.” “I want you,” she whispered, arching her back and pushing her tits toward me. “I want your cock. Please.”
“I don’t have condoms, baby. I hadn’t thought about sex in a long time. And then you showed up wearing those fucking shorts that show off your little ass, and these tank tops that make me want to bury myself between your tits. And now it’s all I can think about. I fuck my hand every time I’m in the shower because I can’t stop thinking about you. And I shouldn’t. You’re too damn young for me.”
