Kissing the Cowboy (Circle B Ranch 5)

“You’re a greedy little thing, aren’t you, love?” He smirks, and before I can say another word, he returns to licking and flicking my clit as he finger fucks me. He knows my body so well that it takes mere minutes to make me come. As I ride out my release, he slams his cock deep inside me, giving me everything I need.

“Yes...right there,” I mutter as my head falls back. “I can never get enough of you,” I confess between breathy moans. I’m so damn glad I have my modest little cabin where we can be alone and enjoy one another without interruption or fear of someone overhearing.

We scoot farther up the mattress, and Ethan slows his pace. He releases a deep husky growl, and I know he’s almost there. Ethan buries his face in my hair and sucks my neck as he spills inside me. Before rolling over, he slides his lips against mine.

“I love you so much, sweetheart.”

“I love you too,” I say. “Now we should probably get going before we’re interrogated for not being on time.”

He chuckles with amusement. “You’re right.”

We allow our heart rates to return to normal, clean up, then get dressed.

I glance at Ethan after I’ve fixed my hair. “We look so guilty,” I say, brushing my fingertips over his swollen lips.

He leans in and kisses me. “’Cause we are.”

“I’m blaming you if your mom says anything about us being late!”

He laughs with a shrug, then leads me to his truck.

When we arrive, Elle and her family are already there. We walk inside and greet everyone. Elle hands the baby over to me, and I hold Elisa while items are being moved from the kitchen counter.

When Ethan’s parents leave the kitchen, Elle arches a brow at us. “I know exactly why you two were late.”

“Just workin’ on that niece or nephew you begged for,” Ethan mocks.

“Oh my God.” I groan in embarrassment. Ethan flashes me a wink before bringing a large bowl of sweet potatoes to the table.

“Time to eat!” Emily calls just as Evan finishes carving the turkey.

“Ethan!” Olivia gives Ethan a hug, and I find it sweet how much she adores him.

“Hey, Ollie Bear!” He wraps an arm around her. “You stayin’ out of trouble?”

She nods. “Yes, because I’m not a troublemaker! I’m still Mrs. Kenzie’s favorite.”

“Ohhh, so you’re the teacher’s pet then?” Ethan teases, but she doesn’t seem to mind.

“How’s the wedding plannin’ going’?” Elle asks as we all take our seats.

“Slowly but surely. I’ve been looking online to get ideas,” I say. “I’m thinking of a spring wedding so it won’t be too hot or cold.”

“That’s a great idea. Can’t go wrong with spring in Texas, plus there’ll be some beautiful flowers in bloom.”

After Mr. Bishop says the blessing, I give Elisa back to Elle so she can put her in the bouncy seat. Once we’re all settled, we pile our plates full and dig in.

“Everything is delicious,” I tell Mrs. Bishop.

“It really is. Glad I came hungry.” Ethan flashes her a smirk.

It doesn’t take long before we’re all patting our stomachs, complaining about how stuffed we are. We chat for a bit before getting up to clear the table. I help Ethan carry the dishes into the kitchen while Elle and Connor chat with Emily and Evan in the living room. Olivia stays with us and is a great little helper.

After we’re done, we meet everyone in the living room and tell them we’ll meet them at the B&B since Ethan wants to get there early. I’m actually somewhat nervous about the rest of the day because it’ll be the first time we’ve been around all of his family at once since we announced our engagement.

Ethan interlocks his fingers with mine and kisses my knuckles as we drive over. “You’re quiet. Whatcha thinkin’ about?”

“Just a little anxious about going to the B&B today.”

“Nah, don’t be. You’ve basically been a part of the family since we were kids. All they’re gonna care about is when you’re gettin’ knocked up.”

“The sooner, the better.” I waggle my brows, testing him to see if he freaks out.

“Yeah? You’re ready to start a family with me?” He gives me his signature boyish grin that I love so much.

“I’ve been ready. You know I think back to what you told all those people at the conference, about how many kids you want to have. Was it four?”

Ethan chuckles. “Four or ten. Whatever we can have and handle. I love my sister, but I always wished I would’ve had more siblings, kinda like my dad. He was lucky. He had three brothers and a sister, and they were all somewhat close in age. Can you imagine how much fun it would’ve been growing up with a house full of rambunctious children?”

My eyes widen. “Ten kids! We better get busy then. I’m not gettin’ any younger.”
