Buck You! (Buck Cowboys, #2)

by Elle Thorpe

I shouldn’t have just assumed he was sober. I shouldn’t have trusted him.

Umm if you're thinking this about your fiance you've got some issues. Summer you’re pissing me off come on girl

More like it whispered, “Run the hell away and don’t turn back.” But I knew that was just residual Austin anger talking.

Good she is so obtuse I want to kick her

I loved Austin. At least I did when he wasn’t being an asshole. Which wasn’t all that often lately.

Goddamn woman listen to your fucking instincts

So I forced a smile, put my arms around him, and told him I loved the apartment. That I loved him. And that I was going to love our life in the city.

I seriously hate her so much right now what is wrong with her???? Why is she being a doormat???

You know I have to go. Wouldn’t you have gone for Mom?” Frost’s eyebrows pulled together. “I would have done anything for your mama. I still would. You know that.” “So why are you giving me a hard time then?” Because Austin was a dick, and everyone seemed to be able to see it but her. Not that I could say that out loud, but I knew both Frost and I were thinking it. “Because your mama would have never asked me to give up something so ingrained in my soul. She would have never asked me to be someone I’m not.”

THANK YOU FROST

Guilt was too quick to rear its ugly head and taunt me about what a jerk I’d been to Dominic. He’d been nothing but a friend, both this last week, last year, and all the times he’d visited before that, and I’d been a complete and utter bitch to him tonight.

Finally, feel bad for treating the people who actually care liked shit. About time

“Are you seriously not even going to say anything?” “Not until you calm down and stop being so dramatic.”

Oh my GOD

“Because you’re kinda being a bitch to the new guys,” Hallie said. “Actually, not kinda. You are being a total cow. You’re practically mooing.”

THANK YOU HALLIE

“I’m not a one-night stand. Not for you. I’m the guy you fall in love with, Summer. That’s all there is to it.”

Presumptuous but I like it

He was right. He wasn’t a one-night-stand sort of guy. He was the sort of guy who had the power to make you fall in love right there and then, with a solitary kiss. He was the sort of guy whose kiss made you realize there would be no other kisses like it, no matter how long you lived. He was the sort of guy who kissed you, then broke your heart, if he ever decided that what he wanted wasn’t you. And I was the sort of girl who didn’t care. Because in that moment, he was everything. And I was the girl who was willing to open up her heart again, willing to fall, no matter how much it might hurt if the day ever came when he changed his mind.

I’m hard every time I think about you.

How is this so hot

“Do you remember the night you came to visit, and Summer was going to her prom?” How could I forget? I still had the image of Summer in that dress ingrained into my memory. Addie smiled knowingly. “I watched you fall in love with her in that moment.”

All I saw was him. I knew who he was. He was the sort of man who waited five years. He was the sort of man, who respected me enough to give me time. He was the sort of man who pushed me to achieve the dreams I’d all but given up on. He was the sort of man my heart could so easily love, if only I let it. I wanted to let it.

“This isn’t goodbye, Sum,” I assured her. “You’re it for me. So even if I’m in Wyoming, and you’re here, you’re always my girl.” “Always,” she promised.

“I love you, Summer. I’ve loved you long before I ever told you, and I’ll love you long after the last time I get to say it. But I want there to be a million times in between. I want to be by your side for all the moments. The bull riding. The teaching. The traveling. Family. Babies. I want to watch you chase your dreams and then conquer them. I want you to watch me achieve mine. Then I want to make new ones together. For the rest of our lives.” He sucked in a breath, like he was suddenly nervous. “Summer? Will you marry me?” I didn’t need to think about it. Not for a single second. “Yes!” I dropped down into the dirt with him, kneeling, not even caring about the ring. All I wanted was him.

Don’t love that we did this on her very first night in the pros but I guess it’s cute or whatever
