Saving You (Love Wanted in Texas 2)

I shook my head and turned to Ellie. “I’m sorry, Ellie. I was, um, lost in thought.”

She smiled sweetly and then continued on. “We’ve made plans to have dinner with all of you before you leave. Tomorrow night, seven sharp at your parents’ house. There are some—things we’d like to discuss with all of y’all. The idea of us buying the house in College Station was a good idea, but now that two of y’all are couples. We’d like to go over some ground rules.”

I nodded my head and peeked over to Alex. Her face was flushed and she looked down. This wasn’t going to be fun. It was sure to be awkward as hell. Gunner cleared his throat. “We’ve already chatted with the boys.”

Luke let out a deep laugh. “Chatted? I wouldn’t necessarily say threatening to end our lives is chatting.” Alex stood up. “Daddy, you didn’t!”

Gunner smiled. “Oh yes, I did. Two boys, four girls, all under one roof, what the hell were we thinking?”

My mother stood up, leaned down and kissed Grams on the cheek and then turned toward the guys. “We were thinking that they are all adults, we raised them right and that Will, Luke, and Colt will do nothing but always respect and protect our girls.”

Gunner and my father both turned and looked at Luke. Daddy raised his eyebrow at Luke. “That was before Luke started dating my baby girl.”

My mother slapped my father lightly on the chest. “Stop it. Come on, let’s head on back. I’ve got a roast in the crock pot.” Ellie kissed Colt on the cheek. “Don’t be out too late; you leave to go back to A&M tomorrow.”

Colt returned a gentle kiss on Ellie’s face. He had to report to A&M a few weeks ago for football, but was home for a few days.

Taking my hand in his, Luke pulled me to him. “Want to go for a ride? I can saddle up a few horses.” I nodded my head and smiled. I loved spending time with Luke. It was nothing like when we were best friends. It was a million times better.

“Gramps, Lib and I are going to take a couple horses for a ride,” Luke shouted for Gramps to hear. Raising his hand, Gramps called out, “Have fun!”

Luke and I quickly walked to the barn and saddled up two horses and made our way onto one of the many trails that ran over the ranch. Since we were little kids we had been riding all over this property.

When we got a good ways away from the house, I looked at Luke. “So how horrible was my father to you?”

Luke looked over my way and gave me that naughty smile of his. “Let’s see, he told me if I hurt you, got you pregnant, made your grades slip, slept in the same room as you, got you pregnant—”

I giggled. “You said that twice.”

“Only because he said it like six times. After of course, he gave me the lecture about always using protection, making sure my number one goal was keeping you safe.”

My eyes widened in horror. “Please tell me you’re kidding?”

Luke pursed his lips and looked up. “Nope. I had to sit there with your brother on one side of me, who by the way, has also threatened to cut off my balls if I hurt you in any way. Yeah, with Will glaring at me from the side, your daddy came full force. Right out of the gate, he was telling me how he could kill me and make it look like an accident.”

I covered my mouth, stopped my horse, and let out a moan. “Oh, Luke, I’m so sorry.”

He stopped his horse and looked deep into my eyes. “I’m not, Libby. It just shows how much they love you. If Grace was to bring a guy home tomorrow, I’d take him out to the barn and show him how accurate of a shot I am. I have no problem spending the rest of my life in jail for having to shoot someone for hurting my sister. Or you.”

Smiling, I glanced away. Sometimes Luke’s eyes looked so deep into my soul it scared me. I heard him getting off of his horse. Looking back I asked, “What are you doing?”

Luke tied up the reins and let Starlight graze. “I want to kiss you.”

I threw my leg over the saddle and jumped down. “Really? I’ll take that kiss.”

Luke reached up with his hands and cupped my face as he brought his lips to mine. He placed quick, soft kisses to my lips. “I love you, Libby. I love you so much.”

The kiss grew deeper as he pushed me against Bear. The horse didn’t budge. He stood steadfast in his spot. Luke’s hand went under my shirt and pushed my bra up, finding my nipple. He began twisting and pulling it gently as he practically kissed my breath away. “Luke,” I whispered as my hands went to his beautiful brown hair. I tugged on it as Luke let out a moan. “I want you, Luke.”

His lips moved from my lips, down to my neck. My body was on fire, my core clenching with the idea of Luke filling my body to the max.

“Libby,” Luke panted as he moved his hand from my nipple down. He was about to slip his hand into my pants when Bear took a few steps and caused us to lose our balance. I fell and Luke landed on top of me. I lifted my hips and pressed his hard dick between my legs. I was breathless. All those years of built up desire seemed to explode when we were near each other.

“Libby, I can’t seem to get enough of you,” Luke whispered against my lips.

“Get off of her, Luke. And for Pete’s sake, help the poor girl up.”

Luke pulled his lips from mine as we turned and looked up. Jeff and Ari were both perched up on horses. Ari was smiling as she looked down at Luke and me. I felt the heat move across my face as Luke’s hard dick was still pressed against me.
