Loving You (Love Wanted in Texas 6)

Her breathing was heavy as she pierced my eyes with hers.

“Lay down, Taylor.”

Doing as I asked, she moved quickly to the bed. Reaching into the side drawer, I pulled out a condom and quickly put it on before moving onto the bed. Positioning myself over her, I teased her entrance.

“Jase, please don’t tease! I need you.”

With a slow push, I sank into her as we both moaned.

“Fucking hell . . . I can’t get deep enough inside you.”

Her legs wrapped around my body as we both moved slowly. Nothing on earth would ever compare to making love to Taylor.

Nothing.

Taylor

“I can’t believe Grams is ninety-five today!” Lauren said as we walked up to the table Jessie pointed us to. Each of us carrying I swear a hundred cupcakes a piece.

“Why in the world did your mom make so many cupcakes?”

Lauren laughed. “I think she’s nervous. I mean after all, this is Grams’ birthday celebration and Jase’s family will be here too! The first time the parents are meeting!”

Rolling my eyes, I set the cupcakes down. “You laugh because you didn’t have this stress. Our parents all knew each other.”

“That’s true,” Lauren said as her eyes drifted up in thought. “But Gunner and my dad have both told your father they thought Jase was a fine young man.”

I peeked over to Gunner and smiled. “Jase reminds me so much of Gunner. Colt too. He says the most wonderful things to me. I remember being little one time and hearing Gunner and Ellie in the kitchen together. I’ll never forget what he told her.”

Lauren’s smile grew bigger. “What did he tell her?”

“He cupped her face with his hands and kissed her forehead.” Glancing back over to Gunner, I continued, “Then he told her, I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow to your beautiful face.”

Lauren sighed. “So simple, but so utterly romantic.”

“I know.”

Lauren stole a peek at Colt. “The apple didn’t fall from the tree. The things Colt says to me makes me weak in the knees.”

“Wow. I think that’s amazing. He must have learned it from his father.”

Lauren chuckled. “Some guys think they have to swoon their girlfriends to win their hearts, but that’s not true. I think they should always be trying to win our hearts no matter how long we’ve been with them.”

“I agree.”

My eyes drifted over to Matthew. He was sitting peacefully off to the side painting.

Arms wrapped around my waist while my stomach dropped. “What do you agree with?”

“Jase!” I said, spinning around and throwing myself into his arms. “What are you doing here? I didn’t think you were coming until six.”

“My father called Gunner and asked if he and Jeff could spare a few minutes to talk about business.”

I shook my head. “Don’t they ever know how to not work?”

He looked deep into my eyes. “Let’s hope I’m not the same way once Walker and I take over full time.”

My eyes snapped over to Lauren’s as we both smiled. “Come on! I want to introduce you to everyone! My parents are not here yet, but that’s all the better.”
