With a nod, I reached for his hand again. “Sure thing.”
Glancing over his shoulder, both girls were now standing outside of the car. I got a better look at both of them.
The driver was cute as hell, but the passenger, holy fuck. She was stunning. When she saw me staring at her, she turned around.
I cleared my throat and said good night to everyone before turning on my heels and climbing back into my truck.
My hands gripped the steering wheel, and I took in a long, deep breath.
It was all in my head. There was no way some high school girl standing on the side of the road actually made me wish for something more . . . with her. Hell, I could see the innocence pouring off both of them. What the hell am I talking about? I could hardly even see her!
I shook my head to clear my thoughts.
No. This is insane.
After getting home I jumped into a hot shower to wash off the smell from the last girl I was with. When my hand wrapped around my cock, I closed my eyes and pictured her blue gaze. It didn’t take long before I became so fucking hard I had to catch my breath, my hand resting against the shower wall, holding me up as I pulled in short, quick breaths.
Slipping in under the covers, I forced myself to forget about the stranger on the side of the road.
Tomorrow was a new day. It would either be a bottle of Jack Daniels or another bed to crawl out of to drown out the loneliness.
Chapter Fourteen – Gunner
Sweat poured off me as I pulled my baseball cap off and wiped my forehead. My shoulder was killing me, but I pushed through the pain and ignored it. One stupid mistake, and I was landing on my shoulder wrong during spring training. At least it wasn’t so bad that I needed surgery.
“You getting tired?”
I laughed and shook my head. “Hell no. I’m just getting started.”
Jeff shook his head while he attached the fence puller on the top wire. “After this, we’re done.”
Thank fuck.
I was ready to head down to the water and cool off. Even though it was the end of April, it was hot as hell out.
“Only a few more weeks, and it’s summer,” Jeff said with a huge smile.
“You still planning on surprising your sister with a graduation party?” I asked, pulling the fence tight.
He nodded. “Yeah, I think she’ll like that. I just need to make sure no one hits on her.”
I chuckled. “Well, you already know Josh will be trying.”
Jeff stopped working and shot me a dirty look. “That bastard is not to go anywhere near my sister.”
Holding up my hands, I let out another roar of laughter. “Dude, I’ll be surprised if you even let any of us go to the party.”
He huffed. “I might not.”
“It wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t. Speaking of, isn’t Ellie coming over Monday night for something?”
Jeff pulled off his work gloves and made his way over to the tailgate of the ranch truck.
“Yes, so don’t forget to be gone.”
I rolled my eyes. “Dude, seriously, don’t you think this is getting to be a little crazy? Your sister is almost graduated, and doesn’t she have a boyfriend?”
Jeff pointed to me. “She’ll take one look at you, Mathews, and her brain will go foggy.”
