Wrangling the Cowboy (Circle B Ranch #3) - Kennedy Fox Page 0,88
Gavin’s hand next.
“You have a lovely home. Elizabeth’s informed me it was recently built.”
Elizabeth? I nearly cringe at the way he uses her full name, considering none of us do.
“Yes, well, it’s been a few months, but it took some time to finish. Plus, the Bishops love any reason for a party.” I chuckle because it’s true.
I turn to Elle, and my eyes widen. “Can I talk to you for a quick sec?”
“Uh—sure.” Just as we’re about to walk off, Connor comes over with a pointed glare as he holds his daughter’s hand.
Elle’s eyes bug out of her head as she stares at Dr. Wallen and the little girl next to him.
“Hey, Connor,” I greet sweetly. “I heard you brought a little guest with you.” Smiling, I lean down and take her hand. “I’m Maize. Thanks for coming to our party.”
“Hello, ma’am. I’m Olivia.”
“Oh my gosh, what a sweetheart,” Rowan coos.
“How did no one know you had a child?” Kenzie blurts out.
“Well, you never asked.” He shrugs. “Her mother lives in New Mexico, and we share custody. She visits over the summer and holidays. I picked her up early for our Thanksgiving celebration.”
That explains why he asked at the last minute.
“She looks a lot like you,” Elle says, breaking the awkward tension. “Hi, Olivia. I’m Elle. I work with your daddy.”
Olivia shakes her hand with a cute smile. “Nice to meet you.”
“Connor,” Stephen says curtly.
Dr. Wallen stands up straighter with furrowed brows. “Dr. Burk.”
“You two know each other?” I ask, waving a finger back and forth between them. I shouldn’t be that surprised, considering we live in a small town, and everyone knows everyone.
“We were friends in high school,” Stephen explains.
“Yeah, well…that was ages ago.” Connor takes Olivia’s hand. “Anyway, I’m gonna get a couple of snacks for her. It was nice seeing y’all.”
Before anyone can say another word, Connor walks away and heads toward the kitchen.
Rowan, Kenzie, and I exchange a look. “I’m gonna go say hi to Grandma and make sure she gets something to eat.”
An hour later, people are scattered throughout the house having a good time. Some are outside on the deck and admiring the views of the ranch.
“Hey,” Gavin whispers in my ear behind me as I stare out at the orange and blue sky. “You wanna sneak into the guest room?”
Chuckling, I glance at him over my shoulder. “Are you crazy? We have a house full of guests.”
“So? You used to like sneakin’ around with me.” He winks.
That causes me to laugh hard. “That’s true.”
I grab his arm and lead him down the hallway into the room. Once the door is locked, he latches his mouth to mine, and our tongues feverishly fight for control.
“Think you can stay quiet, baby?” he asks in a growl.
“If you cover my mouth.” I grin.
Gavin lifts my dress and moves my panties to the side, then plunges a finger into my wet pussy. I’m already aching for him, desperately needing his cock to fill me.
He wraps his hand around my head and slides his tongue between my lips as he finger fucks me hard and fast, building the orgasm until I fall over the edge. I moan out his name, and he quickly covers my mouth with his.
Without wasting another second, he undoes his jeans and boxers, and when his cock comes into view, I immediately wrap my hand around him.
“Mmm…baby.” His head falls back on his shoulders. “As much as I love that, we need to make this quick.”
He lifts me until my legs wrap around his waist, and his cock presses between my thighs. The tip rubs against my clit before gliding down and entering me.
With a throaty groan, I take in all of him, and we rock together in rhythm.
“You make me so damn happy,” he mutters in my ear. “Happier than I ever thought I deserved.”
I’m on the verge of tears as he fucks me against the wall. “You make me happier than I ever thought was possible,” I tell him.
“I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you and our girls are always happy. No matter what, sweetheart.”
“I know you will.”
I have no doubt Gavin will do anything to give us everything we could ever want and need.
He captures my lips once more, and soon, we’re falling over the edge, moaning out our release as quietly as possible.
“Fuck, baby mama. That was hot.” He smacks my ass after I adjust my dress.
I snort and shake my head.
“You think anyone noticed we were gone?” I ask, smoothing down my hair as he zips up his jeans.
“Nah. I think everyone’s distracted as hell from seeing Connor with his daughter, Olivia. Especially Elle and Stephen.”
I cringe, feeling awful that I’m the one who told Elle to bring someone. “Elle’s gonna murder me. I still can’t believe no one knew he had a kid.”
“Connor’s a private guy.” Gavin shrugs, pulling me into his arms once he’s dressed.
“As if things weren’t tense enough between Elle and Connor, it’s about to get a lot more awkward,” I say.
“Considering that Stephen guy seems like the type Evan and Emily would approve of, I imagine he could be here to stay.”
“You think so?”
“And if I’m being honest, Stephen seems more of her type than Connor.”
“I wonder why he’s always so short-tempered and rude to her. If he truly didn’t care for her personality or the way she does things, why would he have hired her in the first place? Unless…”
“You think he likes her?” he asks.
“He could purposely be pushing her away like I did you when I didn’t want to admit my feelings. I’ve had this theory before, but I think it’s safe to say he just might be doing the same.”
“Maybe.” Gavin shrugs, pressing a sweet kiss to the tip of my nose. “We should go back out there.”
I nod in agreement.
“Well, either way, when they go back to work on Monday, it’s gonna be hella interesting.” I cackle. “And I can’t wait to hear all about it.”
We hope you enjoyed Gavin & Maize’s story! There’s a lot more to come in the Circle B Ranch series, featuring the Bishop’s and finding their happily ever afters. Even though this can be read as a stand-alone, some of the characters will interconnect to the next one, so we hope you’ll join us for Elizabeth Bishop & Dr. Connor Wallen’s story next in Bossing the Cowboy!
