Cash (Lucky River Ranch, #1)

by Jessica Peterson

“You’re anything but easy, Cash.” Honey, you kiss me, and you’ll see just how easy I can be.

“At first, I couldn’t fucking stand you.” I scoff. “And now I can’t fucking stand how much I want you.” His eyes look positively feral. “Ask me.” “Ask what?” “Ask me to give you what you want.” I stare at him. “I can’t⁠—” “But you can.” He steps closer, melting his hips into mine. “Because you gotta know by now, I can’t deny you anything, Mollie. Not a fuckin’ thing.”

We’re in the bathtub a week later when I fall in love with Mollie. It happens all of a sudden. Or maybe it’s been happening all along, and it only takes some bubbles and a good, hard laugh for the realization to finally crystallize.

“Honey, I’d marry the shit out of you. Not because it’s the right thing to do, but because I’m in love with you.”
