A Billionaire's Cabin Love - Posey Parks Page 0,2
her oversized gray Eskimo coat pockets. I gawked at her beautiful features. Good thing the mid-length coat I wore covered the huge boner.
“Can you not do that?”
“Do what?”
“Stare like you’ve never seen a woman before.”
“Oh, sweetheart, I’ve seen beautiful women before, but you…”
She halted and gawked at me.
“…you’re breathtaking.”
Kara dropped her head, trying to conceal her blushed honey brown cheeks.
“Thank you for the compliment. I’ll tell my boyfriend he’s a lucky man.”
Usually, I could hide my feelings, but this time was difficult. My jaw ticked. “You do that.”
“We’ve walked around the store twice. Please tell me what you’d like?”
“Bacon, eggs, milk, and a steak for starters.”
“All right.”
A couple of women stared at me in passing. More like clenching their lower lip between their teeth.
“Hey, Kara.” An employee wearing a blue smock approached.
“Sue, how’s it going?”
“Busy. Everyone’s stocking up. Want to be ready for the next drop of snow.” She slicked a red strand of hair behind her ear.
Kara introduced us.
“I think I have another bachelor on my hands this month. You know how it is. They love to become one with nature before they tie the knot.”
A splash of red filled Sue’s porcelain cheeks.
“I am a bachelor, but I’m not looking to settle down. I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Although, I’d love to fuck you, Kara, before I return to Cali. True thoughts.
I changed women like I changed clothes. I never kept the same woman around longer than four days.
“Well, Sue, I’ll talk to you later. I need to get him settled into his cabin then we’re headed ice fishing.”
Sue pointed her index fingers at me. “Fun times. You’ll love it.”
I peeked at Kara. “I’m sure, I will.”
Collin, main mission to find out if this boyfriend is real. Second mission to get a peek at her body that was hidden by the coat that dropped below her knees.
We stood in the checkout line after grabbing several grocery items.
“Hello, Kara.” The blonde, tall, slender cashier smiled.
“Hey, Michelle.”
“Are we still on for drinks later?”
She glanced at me. “It depends on what time I finish work today. I have a real nature enthusiast on my hands.”
“Are you two having drinks at a bar?”
The blonde grinned. “Yes.”
“I’d like to come. Strictly for drinks. I won’t interfere. I’ll let you ladies enjoy your night out. I’d like to drink a few beers and unwind while watching the game.”
“Well, too bad. I’ll be shit faced, which means I’ll be in no condition to drive. Unless, you’re grabbing a hotel room for the night, you can hang it up.”
I flashed a wicked grin. “It’s settled. A night on the town in Talkeetna it is.”
Kara rolled her eyes.
“Hopefully, I’ll get to meet your boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend?” Michelle’s brows rustled together.
“What boyfriend?” she snorted.
“Ring him up, please. The boyfriend is new. We’ll discuss later, Michelle.” She grimaced.
I knew it. There wasn’t a boyfriend. Kara might’ve been afraid to fall victim to me. Shit, good call.
The deafening silence returned once we were in the truck.
“Kara, you know that I’m not looking for a girlfriend, so you don’t have to pretend to have a boyfriend.”
She chuckled. And chuckled again. “If your goal is to land me in your bed, it won’t happen. I am not interested in you, Mr. Bachelor.”
“The feeling is mutual.” I swept my fingers through my hair.
“Good, my goal is to share Alaska with you. Nothing more, nothing less.” She grinned from ear to ear.
“You really love it here, huh?”
“I do.”
“Does your mother help run the business too?”
Brief silence hung in the air. “My father made a promise to my birth parents that if anything ever happened to them, he’d raise me. And he did. My parents went on a short plane ride to Fairbanks when I was six months old. Their plane crashed. They were only twenty-four when they passed away. Frank was my dad’s best friend.”
“I’m so sorry for your loss.”
“Thank you. We’re not far from your cabin. The cabin will be ice cold, so be sure to leave on a couple of layers of clothes every night before bed. Oh, I almost forgot, I’ll show you a great spot to watch the sunset. It’s breathtaking.”
I smiled. “Do you live in town?”
“No, I don’t live far from the Simpsons’. I’m roughly five miles away. We’ll actually pass my house on the way to your cabin.” A smile bit her pretty pouty lips.
“Is that how you know about the sunset?”
“It’s my job to know what tourists love,” she giggled. “While that’s true, I also stumbled upon the sunrise and sunset
