Love Profound (Cowboys & Angels 2)

She dropped her head and stared at the floor. “Nothing. He pretty much acted like it never happened. He never called. When Paxton said your brothers didn’t do serious, I didn’t want to believe her. It didn’t take me long to figure out Tripp only asked me out because Mitchell was interested in me. I never told Tripp what happened, but he seemed to know already. I think he knew my heart wasn’t in the relationship. His wasn’t, either. We had a ton of fun hanging out together, and he’s a great friend.”

“That’s why y’all broke up but still hung out?” I asked.

“Yeah. I mean, I adore Tripp. He’s a great guy, and I was honest and told him how I felt about Mitchell.”

“What did he say?” I asked.

“He said he understood, and that we were better off as friends, which I agreed with. I honestly think that man is in love with another woman.”

“Harley,” the three of us said.

“Who?” Corina asked.

I chuckled. “That is a story for girls’ night.”

Waylynn stood, her hands on her hips. “Wait a minute! Somehow we lost track of our interrogation! Back to you and Wade having sex!”

“What?” Two booming voices said in unison, making us jump.

My heart froze. Trevor and Cord were standing on the front porch.

“I’m gonna beat his ass,” Trevor said, spinning on his cowboy boots and marching to his truck, Cord two steps behind.

“Oh, shit,” Waylynn, Paxton, and I whispered at once.

“What are they going to do?” Corina asked.

Waylynn shook her head. “It’s probably best we don’t know.”

Cord placed the beer on the bar. “You sure you don’t want to sing?”

I shook my head. “Nope.”

He frowned. “Come on, Wade. You ain’t still sore about Trevor hitting you, are you? It was over a month ago.”

Rubbing my jaw, I shot Trevor a dirty look, only to have him laugh his ass off. “My jaw hurts too much to sing.”

Warm arms wrapped around my waist. “Hey there, handsome.”

I spun on the stool and grinned at Amelia. Goddamn, if she wasn’t the prettiest thing ever. These last few months had been the happiest of my life. I’d never dreamed I could be this happy.

“Hey.” She leaned toward me, rubbing her hand dangerously close to my cock as she placed a soft kiss on my lips. Moving over to my ear, she whispered, “I’m so in need of a good orgasm.”

I couldn’t help the smile that spread over my face.

“Son-of-a-bitch. If my baby sister is talking dirty to you, you best put a stop to that shit right now.”

Ignoring Trevor, I pulled her between my legs. “What should we do about that?”

Her teeth snagged the corner of her lip while her eyes grew dark. “We could sneak off. I’ve never had sex in my brother’s bar.”

I threw my head back and laughed. “And darlin’, you’re never gonna. I kind of want to keep my dick attached to my body.”

She pouted cutely.

“Oh, hell no, Amelia Parker,” Cord said. “No giving him pouty lips. Fuck. No. I know that look. You take this shit somewhere else. That will never happen in my bar!”

Amelia lifted her eyes to stare at Cord. Giving him a wink, she said, “How do you know it hasn’t already?”

I jumped off the stool, getting between Amelia’s back and Cord. I held up my hands. “It has not! I swear to you.”

Cord pointed to me. “Don’t forget, I know people! I will have Mitchell arrest your ass!”

Giving him a thumbs up, I threw some money on the bar and took Amelia’s hand. “Come on, troublemaker. Do you want to see me with a black eye again?”

“I’m still mad you let them hit you, Wade. I’m an adult and they don’t get to say who I can and cannot be with.”

Making our way through the bar, I lifted my hand and waved goodbye to Mitchell. He was talking to a girl with dark hair. He waved, but I could tell he wanted to be anywhere other than where he was.

Once we got to my truck, I turned to Amelia. “I thought Mitchell liked Corina?”

Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. “He does?”

“Doesn’t he?”

“I don’t know! Does he?”

I shook my head. “Whatever. Come on, I’ve got something to show you.”

“Your naked body on top of mine?”

Laughing, I took her hand. “You’re in a mood this evening.”

She sighed. “I had to listen to Paxton and Waylynn talk about baby shower decorations. I fell asleep and had a crazy hot dream about us in the shower.”

“I’ve got an idea,” I said, heading toward the land I’d bought a few months back.

“Where are we going?” Amelia asked.

With a wink, I replied, “You’ll see soon enough.”

The second I pulled down the overgrown road, Amelia started laughing.

“You naughty boy,” she purred. Her hand moved over my leg to cup my already-hard dick.
