couldn’t complain because I needed him in exactly the same way.
My fingers gripped fistfuls of his hair as he held me steady in his mouth, expertly edging me. But I didn’t want to wait, I was too close, so I arched my hips and thrust my cock toward his throat. His eyes rolled back because he liked when I was rough, and he gave back in-kind.
Groaning, he reached down to grip my balls. I squirmed, my muscles feeling like live wires as his hand and mouth and tongue sparked an electric current that traveled down my spine and straight to my nuts.
“So good.” With a deep, satisfied groan, I shattered, gripping his head for leverage. He gagged a little, but as promised, he kept his throat working, swallowing every drop.
And then he was on his feet, helping stuff me back in my jeans, before yanking me against him. He delivered a bruising kiss, allowing me to taste myself on his tongue.
We stood in a tight embrace, breathing into each other’s necks and murmuring sweet nothings because we were mushy like that.
When Hamlet snorted at our feet, we broke apart with mutual grins, knowing we had stayed out too long. “We’re coming.”
The house was warm and welcoming as we stepped inside and slipped out of our wet boots and coats at the door. Sienna, Ainsley, and Brad were engrossed in a puzzle on the coffee table, and we barely registered as we sat down to get warm in front of the fire.
After the afternoon chores and dinner, we watched a movie together as a family, with hot cocoa and plenty of marshmallows, of course. It was wild that this was my life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It felt like one of those Westerns, where I’d ridden off into the sunset with my man, and my theme song was “Forever and Ever, Amen” by Randy Travis.
Okay, you could tell that Brad had recently influenced my taste in music, and Caitlin teased me mercilessly about it.
“So about that floor plan,” Brad said as soon as Kerry had returned from putting Ainsley to bed. He was excited, and I was happy for Sienna. He adored her.
Our discussions about the future included building them a farmhouse next to the silo, where they would live comfortably, and then Kerry and I would remodel this house more to our liking. And honestly, I could not wait to get my hands dirty again.
“Let me get it.” I stood to retrieve from my room the specs I’d drawn up.
When I briefly glanced back, Kerry’s eyes were all soft and tender, and it made me pause in the doorway.
“I love you,” I mouthed to him.
“I love you,” he mouthed back, rubbing at the center of his chest.
Damn, I could hardly believe that gorgeous cowboy was all mine. And I couldn’t wait to pay him back tonight.

About the Author
Once upon a time, Christina Lee was a wardrobe stylist in New York City. She spent her days schlepping clothes, hailing cabs, and on the hunt for the perfect lip gloss, which became a bit of an addiction—along with books and coffee. You could always find her perched in a corner booth of a favorite diner sipping a dark roast and reading.
She currently lives in the Midwest with her husband and son—her two favorite guys. She’s been a clinical social worker and a special education teacher and while very rewarding, they still didn’t feel like an exact fit. It wasn't until she began writing a weekly column for the local newspaper that the bells went off in her head. She could finally draw from her real-life experiences and vivid imagination to write fiction—and she’s never looked back.
Christina writes romance in different sub-genres, but mostly with LGBTQ characters because representation matters and everyone deserves a happily-ever-after.
