“Yeah, I totally want my woman to worship the ground I walk on,” he shared. “See,” she retorted. “And she’ll do that because I’d die for her.”
Toby kept speaking, all angry, bossy and hot.
And with that, he prowled back down the sidewalk toward the garage with that long-limbed, loose, male grace that was so beautiful to watch.
“What I feel for her, it’s more than you think. It isn’t about finding someone else to ask out. I don’t even see other women anymore. But some guy is eventually gonna see her and I cannot be around to watch that.”
And okay, I knew him, but even if I didn’t, one could sense simply from the magnificence of his beard that he was an alpha and perhaps accusing him of being dramatic, something that might be a nasty prick to a normal male’s pride, was a poke to a man like Toby’s bear.
“So, well, at this juncture,” she started, her voice breathy, sweet and hot, “I think it goes without saying, I’ve been into you for a while.”
that drew him in because he was confident enough not to allow my confidence to minimize his.
If Toby fucked me silly, and I passed out, I couldn’t sleep in makeup.
“You do know, with your modern-day caveman act of hauling me around, it’s so hot, we’re never gonna go slow.”
“I care you got zero time and a million things to do and people coming over, and you want me to get what you feel for me and that you think it’s as important as I do, so you put effort into making yourself even more gorgeous for me.”
Macho-man lunacy raises its head on occasion, but I’ve decided if I didn’t have that, I wouldn’t have caveman sex that is out…of…this…world.
It was about being reminded about the magnificence of the universe, and how you were an integral part of it, and you should not waste a moment, you should find time to savor its beauty while you had your time amongst its majesty.
“Hopefully Aunt Izzy is getting some so you need to quiet down so Uncle Johnny can concentrate.”
At first, he thought it was a kickass, narrow, brown leather man’s bracelet. But when he pulled it out, he saw inside it was tooled with the words, She’s Mine.
“You got soft leather and smooth whiskey and I got goose down and kitten fur. But under what we got, it’s granite and steel.
The other thing I knew, if our father was there, he’d see Iz and me walking in on high heels, wearing nice dresses with the best men alive at our sides.
But I was beginning to understand Toby’s explanation of active and passive protection and the struggle to be passive when they wanted desperately to be active.
She was not in a power suit or a cute, sexy, professional dress that looked tailored for her. She looked like a chic hippie in a pretty rosy-pink lace dress with a tiered skirt, dangly earrings and lots of necklaces and bracelets.
If the apology is true, my beautiful queens, a genuinely kind heart is an open heart you never close against anybody.
“Yup. Bewitched me, sure as shootin’. And I didn’t mind one bit. Just like your mommy bewitched your daddy. Your daddy took one look at her, he’s big and he’s strong, but not strong enough to fight her spell.”
Now, listen to me, Brooks, you’re about to hear the most important thing a man can tell you. That’s what you do. That’s your job. The most important job you’ll ever have. You find a woman and you let her live with her head in the clouds. But even if you’re flyin’ a plane or swimmin’ with the dolphins, you keep your feet firm on the ground so you can keep an eye on her. Don’t ever take your eye off her, boy, don’t ever let her crash to the ground.”
“’Cause you make her happy, son, she’ll make you the happiest man on the planet.
