Nine Month Contract (Mountain Men Matchmaker, #1)

by Amy Daws

I had to physically stop myself from going into heat like a farm animal.

It was traumatizing and not exactly something that inspired me to want a family of my own. And even though I know I’m a better person than both my parents put together, I can’t get past the fear of hurting a child the way my parents so easily hurt me. Which is why animals are the safer bet.

He shrugs. Real chatty, this guy.

Ranch Cups Full of Semen: 1

Let’s get this farm animal knocked up!

“We really are doing this the ‘farm way,’ aren’t we? Should I let out a loud moo when I inseminate myself?”

but the moment a guy would get serious, I’d find a reason to pull away. It was easier than having the “I don’t want children” talk.

Besides, I’m better off on my own. I can accomplish a lot if I put my mind to it, and no one will disappoint me if it’s just me.

Avery: Hey, I’m going to be vaccinating a herd of lambs tomorrow. Wanna join? Me: Ewe know I do. ;)

I bet I look like a witch in this lighting.

But if this is how I get more grandchildren, I am Team Trista the Surrogate.”

If I’m ever fatherly to her, it sure as fuck better be in a sexy daddy sort of way.

“Trust me, I can handle each bit of you every day of the week and twice on Sundays.”

And it’s annoying because Reggie does not appreciate the competition for being the hottest in the barn.” “Oh, and Millie does?”

“You heard my mom. You’re not exactly a pain in the ass to look at.”

“I just think confidence and independence are two qualities that some men find hard to handle in a woman, and you just haven’t found a guy strong enough not to be afraid of it.”

I am woman, hear me roar.

“The real reason is that I’m too selfish, I guess. I like just taking care of myself and my animals. Plus, not wanting kids can be a deal breaker for a lot of guys. If I have my animals, what more do I need in life?”

“Because I might be focusing too much on getting into someone else’s bullpen.”

I giggle quietly, relishing that with all the testosterone in this truck, I still managed to command the space. Who’s the king of the mountain now?

“if you let me fuck you, then you need to know that means I will own your body.

Woah bud

“Oh, shoot, sorry about that,” she says, shaking her foot out like it was a nervous tic. “My leg just does that sometimes.”

Anytime I try to ask about your past, you clam up tighter than Dolly’s butthole on my arm.”

Animals are just too easy to fall in love with. People, not so much.

“I’m looking at you because you’re beautiful.”

“But now that I’m grown, I take care of myself in ways my parents never did. Like when I was little, all I wanted was a dog or a cat...hell, I even begged for a stupid beta fish. And it was always no. And look at me now.

if it weren’t for the baby.

Okay peeta wtf does that mean

They were irresponsible and selfish and crazy and kept thinking they’d find the meaning of life in religion.

“I’m in love with you, lucky number thirteen. You’re not my second choice or thirteenth choice. You’re my only choice.”

“Did you hear what I just said about licking our baby after delivery?” “Yes, but I’m kind of hoping I can talk you out of that.”
