Love Profound (Cowboys & Angels 2)

“Wade, drive fast! If I miss this birth I’m flying to New York and losing my shit on someone! Does that giraffe know how much of my writing time she has stolen? I need to see this birth!”

I hit the gas, and we took off.

“Can’t you drive faster, you pansy ass? This isn’t Driving Mrs. Daisy. Floor this bitch!”

“Stop yelling at me! You’re making me nervous!” I cried out.

“I’ve got a signal! We’ve got a signal!”

“Yes!” I said, fist pumping the air.

“I didn’t mean to call you a pansy ass!” she quickly said as she pulled up the website. “Oh, my God! Hooves. Legs! Wade, look!”

She shoved the phone in my face. I got one quick look then focused back on the road.

“Shit! Shit! Shit!” I said, pressing the gas down more.

“You might want to slow down,” Amelia said.

Looking at her, I pinched my brows together. “You just told me to speed up.”

Pointing, she shouted, “Dip.”

I turned back, but it was too late. We were going airborne.

I hit the dip, and my truck flew off the road. Amelia screamed out like she was riding a damn bull.

“Yeehaw!”

The truck hit the road, jarring my teeth hard.

“Yeehaw? Was that fun?”

Amelia chuckled. “Hell yeah, that was fun. Mitchell was the only one of my brothers who had the guts to do that. Tripp tried it once and broke something on my father’s truck. He was grounded for two months and none of the other boys ever tried it again.”

I shook my head. “Oh, I’m sure I broke something.”

Pulling into the driveway of the foreman’s house, Amelia jumped out before the truck even came to a damn stop.

She rushed in through the front door and screamed.

“Did we miss—”

Clearly I hadn’t calculated the steps because I tripped on the last one. My ass went down hard.

“Fuck!” I shouted, as I stood up and reached for my knee.

“Wade! Stop playing around. It’s about to happen!”

I limped through the door and into the living room where Amelia was standing in front of the TV.

She glanced my way. “Why are you limping? What happened to your jeans?”

“Tripped. Last step. Fell hard.”

Running over to me, she kissed me on the lips. “I’m sorry, baby. I’ll make it better…after the baby’s born!”

And like that, she was back in front of the TV.

“This is it! Here she comes!”

I stood next to her and took her hand in mine.

“I can’t believe our April is having her baby,” I said as I fought the tears in my eyes.

Holy shit. If Trevor saw me right now he’d give me hell.

“Wade! Oh, my gosh, we made it just in time! Look!”

We stared at the TV and watched as the baby giraffe was born. Tears streamed down Amelia’s face. She sank to the ground and I followed her, pulling her to me while she leaned against my chest.

It must have been an hour before we actually stood up, continuing to watch the live feed.

Amelia let out a sigh. “That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.”

“I agree. And it’s about damn time. I’m glad I pulled it up on the TV.”

With a giggle, Amelia fell back on the sofa. “I’m exhausted. I feel like I gave birth to the calf. And I’m starved!”

“How about I make us breakfast?” I asked, heading into the kitchen.

Amelia got up and followed me. “I’ll help.”

“Do you need to get back to writing?”

Wrapping her arms around me, she let out a sexy moan. “Nope. I stayed up pretty late last night. Being at your old house really inspired me to put my current book down and write the historical one that was playing out in my head.”

I placed my hands on her hips. “I’m glad. I can’t wait to read it.”

When she pulled her lower lip into her mouth, her eyes turned dark.

“Something on your mind?” I asked with a slight grin.

She nodded. “You. Me. Fourth base.”

I gripped her hips tighter, drawing her closer to me. “I want you, too, Amelia. More than you know.”

Her hands landed on my chest. “Then make love to me, Wade. I don’t think I can stand to wait much longer.”

Cupping her face in my hands, I gazed into her eyes, teasing. “Did watching that giraffe have a baby turn you on?”

As a slow smile grew over her face, I realized I was falling head over heels in love with Amelia.

“If I say yes?”

I picked her up, causing her to let out a gasp.

“Then who am I not to satisfy the woman I’m in love with?”

Amelia’s eyes grew wide and her breath sharpened. Biting on her lip, she buried her head into my chest as I walked us into my bedroom. I had the room set up for tonight anyway. Tonight was going to be the night I made her mine. No reason not to bump it up a few hours.
