Kindle Notes & Highlights
He’s a waster and a drinker who is coasting through life on his good looks while busy getting black-out drunk at three in the afternoon on a Tuesday.
Sounds like a catch
But guess who’s the sucker sitting in a sweltering car with a backseat full of boxes that contain his crap he left behind at my house?
Leave it outside
Crimson Ridge is on my way to my next job, and surprise-surprise, I’m once again being Layla Birch, eternal good girl and pushover, by calling in here to do my ex a favor because it is kind of on my way.
Drop his shit
“Silly air-headed girls like you have no idea how to be responsible. Always coming in here running up bills you can’t pay for. That’s you parked at pump three? The Honda?” He sneers at me and looks me up and down, before jabbing a finger in my direction. “Stand right there and don’t fucking move. I’ll deal with you in a second.”
What a dick
“Dad, this is my girlfriend, Layla.”
Oh. My. God...
How wrong I was nine months later when the consequences of one foolish decision arrived.
She aint pregnant
Colt Wilder is short-tempered, growly, and impossible to please. No wonder he can’t find any fucking help to work this ranch.
Grumpy daddy cowboy
I’m also going to be somewhat of an odd-job laborer, cook, cleaner, and basically all-round ranch-bitch.
Ranch bitch sob
It’s been a whole fucking week. One spent doing my best to find something—anything—to focus on, other than the gorgeous girl currently sitting across the kitchen island from me eating an omelet and sipping her coffee, while she scrolls her phone.
Youve been a grumpy dick
Which inevitably leads to me barking something in her general direction, just to try and scare her off because fuck knows what I would do if she turned around and looked at me the same way.
Ah...
Either way, despite the fact I’ve always insisted on using protection to be certain, it didn’t fucking matter. In the end I was doubly fucked. The condom broke, and Kayce arrived, and I felt like my life was over before it even began.
I think you were babytrapped
“Go easy on me, ok?” Layla breathes. I don’t know what comes over me, but as I help swing her up into the saddle, the words are out of my mouth before I can stop them. “I promise, I can be gentle.”
WOOF
Because the very soft and feminine-looking young woman standing before me, looking back at me with big eyes, is not where I need to be sticking my dick.
Well why not?!
“Obviously, this winter, he’s decided to ship in a perky young thing to bounce up and down on his cock at night.”
Oh my god
“Make sure you’re being fed right.” He raises his eyebrows suggestively, and I fight the urge to gag.
Ew
Holy shit, my body heats and pussy clenches at the memory of the vivid sex dream I had about him last night. My submissive side and breeding kink is alive and well, it would seem.
As it is foretold
Each has what looks like a shallow gash across their flanks, just at the height of one of the fence posts. Shallow enough that it looks like a protruding nail has done the damage where they’ve maybe rubbed up against it, but it’s hard to tell and the amount of blood is possibly making everything look worse than it is.
Im sus.....
“Did I hire you for nothing? No. You’re the one with the fancy vet schooling, and I’m just a cowboy who can hold this heifer down while you stitch her up. Unless you want me to go back up to the house and get my rifle and put her out of her misery.”
Ok WELL!
“I don’t want to disappoint you,” she murmurs. Little does this girl know, she could never. “You won’t. Now, just take a deep breath for me, baby.” Her eyes search mine, but she does as I say. Taking a long, shaky inhale. “And out.” She blows a white plume into the space between us.
ZUoxccoho baby???
That’s when a familiar voice crackles down the line, making my stomach plunge through the floor.
Worst timing
“If anyone tries to touch you ever again, don’t hesitate to use that gun on them.”
Yes sir
The girl who belongs to my son.
She sure dont
“You’ll need this.” I take my hat off and drop it on her head. It’s a little big for her, and even though she looks gorgeous in anything, fuck me, the sight of her wearing my jet-black hat sends a rush of blood to my dick. She reaches up to touch the brim, readjusting it slightly on her head, and her green eyes sparkle. Which is why I don’t even bother trying to explain why I just did what I did, yet still hop back in the cab feeling like a fucking king. Even if she’s not my girl, I can at least lay a claim on her so no asshole around town dares to look twice her way.
Bark bark
Holy crap. I literally did the one thing in all my years bartending I never usually do. No accepting drinks from unknown men.
Yeah...
“Then tell me why every night is a battle, Layla. Tell me why I have to damn near lock my own door.” “Why would you—” His gritty noise cuts me off. “Because I’m in so much trouble when it comes to you. Tell me why the fuck I’m spending every night talking myself out of visiting the bedroom just down the hall of the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever laid eyes on, just to see how she tastes.”
Ooio
Colt lets out a groan mixed with a growl, and my breathy words are hardly out of me before his hand dives into my hair. “Fuck it.” His mouth crashes against mine.
FUK IT
“I heard a saying once …” My fingers unclench from the blanket, allowing it to fall open and reveal my figure. Reaching out, I lift his hat off his head, setting it on my own, not missing the flare that catches light behind his honeyed eyes. “You touch a man’s hat, you’re either planning to fight them or fuck them. So, which do you want with me, cowboy?”
Damn girl
“I love it when you look at me, Daddy.” A storm explodes in his eyes. “Do you like it when I call you that?” “Fuuuuck.” He groans and tips his head back. Giving me a long, hooded stare that makes my clit throb. “I don’t want to say.”
Scream
I’m a piece of shit father is what I am.
Dude... Fuck Kayce. He sucks
“Baby, I want to taste you.” Kiss. “Fuck you.” Lick. “Consume you.” Bite.
Woof eooof do it
The clock is ticking until Kayce returns, and whatever this forbidden thing is between us has to end. It has to, because I can’t stay here, and he won’t risk further ruining his relationship with his son.
I hate time limits
“Unless the rest of that sentence is please eat my cunt until I forget my own name, I don’t want to hear another word.”
The sound that just left me
“I’ll tell you now, I intend on spending as much time as possible licking this sweet little pussy of yours. And I’ll gladly spend all night with my head between your thighs without you touching me once.”
Praise jesus hallelujah
“We’ll make it fit.”
Meanwhile my brain went is he bigger than Kayce? Ptobably
“Give it to me, angel. Then I’m going to have you in my bed, and you’re going to give me one more.”
The honeymoon phase of fucking
my channel.
Ew
God, I hope he’s not having second thoughts.
Girl he literally left you a note. You JUST read it
But Colt’s hazel eyes glow with boyish mischief. “Oh, don’t think I don’t know what you’ve got on that innocent-looking little device of yours.”
Oh...
