“Alright then, mister .”
Her blouse opened as she finished undoing the buttons. I stared open mouthed as her glorious tatas came into view .
Lord, the woman was absolute perfection. Gorgeous from her head down to her cute little toes. And even if she wasn’t physically flawless, she was sweet and kind and loving. Not to mention her incredible voice, which turned me into man goo every time I heard it .
Like, I said, she was perfect .
Perfect for me .
She unwrapped the long silk skirt she was wearing and let it slid to the floor. I looked down her long, curvy legs and saw she was still wearing her cute, little pink cowboy boots. I looked up again and realized she was wearing matching pink lace bra and panties .
My mouth went completely dry when I realized I could see her soft blond curls through the lace .
Which meant… I hadn’t made a fair trade .
She’d been planning to seduce me, not the other way around. Not that I was going to complain. This was a very good thing no matter how you cut it .
“Come here, you sneaky woman .”
She giggled as I grabbed her and plopped her on the bed. I climbed between those sexy legs of hers and looked down on her almost naked body .
“You tricked me .”
“A deal’s a deal .”
I smiled, lowering my lips to hers .
“Yes, it is .”
Chapter Fourteen
Becky
“Y ou should go with your friends .”
I picked at my lunch, feeling tired. I hadn’t been sleeping well. Not one damn night since laying eyes on Whiskey. I’d memorized the cracks in the ceiling and read about five different romance books, all with ‘happy ever afters’ that made me want to bawl my eyes out .
I told myself I was okay as long as I distracted myself. And I was, for the most part. But as soon as I fell asleep, it all came rushing back .
The man haunted my dreams. Literally .
“I can’t Aunt Mae .”
“Why not sweetheart ?”
“Well, first of all, I can’t ask you to babysit so much. It’s not fair .”
“Are you kidding? I’d pay you to let me have this little angel all to myself .”
She bounced Eliza on her hip and I smiled. Mae wasn’t exaggerating. She was everything to Petunia and I. Our entire family, at this point. And we were hers .
“Are you sure ?”
She nodded and cracked a smile .
“You already knew that though. Why don’t you tell me why you really don’t want to go ?”
I sighed, realizing I was going to have to deal with this. Or at least admit it. But saying it out loud was tying my stomach up in knots .
“I’m dreading seeing him .”
“ Why , hon ?”
“Because… I still have feelings for him .”
I held my hand up to stop Mae from interrupting .
“And I don’t want to have those feelings. Especially now that I have to actually tell him about Petunia. It was a lot easier when I didn’t actually have to see him, you know ?”
“Well, you don’t have to tell him.” She sighed, switching Petunia. “But I suppose it is the right thing to do. And it’s not like you are the only one who is hung up. That’s a two-way street .”
“ It is ?”
“That man has been looking for you since the day you left. He never stopped pestering me about you. I felt like I was being interrogated! Too bad he couldn’t keep his pecker in his pants !”
I stared at her .
“He really asked about me? When I was gone ?”
“I told you, honey. He looked like a lovesick bull in a china shop. And he never gave up trying even though I gave him absolutely nothing to go on. I would have felt bad for him if I didn’t know what a pig he is .”
“But he is the one who cheated! He hurt me. How could he act like I did him wrong, when I saw him with those girls ?”
“It pains me to even mention this, but are you sure that’s what you saw? He doesn’t seem the type .”
“I know he doesn’t. I thought he was a straight shooter. That’s why it hurt so bad. More than being hurt, I was just so… stunned and surprised .”
“Why don’t you just ask him, dear? Were you exclusive at the time ?”
I shook my head .
“We hadn’t had the talk yet. But I thought we were together, together. We were like glue those first few weeks. Always with each other every chance we got.” I sat down with a moan. “Maybe it’s not his fault. Maybe I was too naive. But I know that I was in love with him .”
“And you still are ?”
I nodded miserably .
“I am. I wish I wasn’t, but I am .”
