She’s my purpose. Her kids are my family. And I have a funny feeling that even though my buddy might start out pissed as hell, eventually he’d realize that I’m the best thing for her. For them.
I’ll take care of her the way he would want. The kids too. I want it all.
I shuffle out of the cold bed and stretch my arms out over my head. My back is aching at the cold but the rest of me is ready, willing and able.
Especially my dick. I adjust my cock in my boxers and grimace. I’ve never had to deal with a problem like this.
Nobody else knows but I’m actually a virgin. I waited for so long to find the right woman that I just couldn’t get excited about a filler woman like most men would.
I wanted the right woman not the right now woman.
Now that I’ve found her, my dick feels like a fucking steel pipe. I guess the son of a bitch feels like he’s waited long enough.
I know how he feels. Electricity sizzles under my skin just thinking about the sexy little redhead with the kissable lips and the shadows in her silver eyes. I can’t imagine what it’s going to feel like when I finally get the chance to bury myself in her body. When I finally get to find my way home.
I want to trace the freckles across her delicate little nose with my lips. Want to find every sweet spot on her curvy little body.
“Will and Katy! Time for breakfast!”
My pulse jumps and the fucker in my boxers slams into the placket so hard I’m lucky the damn things stay on.
Scrambling around, I grab for my jeans and slip them on and then my t-shirt and blue and black flannel over top.
It takes me less time to make it out that door than it usually takes me to get ready for work in the morning. There’s more at stake here.
Katy and Will slam past me and I grin as I step back and let them through. I wonder about the names and if she did it on purpose. I want to know everything about how she thinks, what she feels, how she loves.
I want it all. Want to know everything.
One step inside that warm kitchen with the flame-haired woman with the shimmering eyes and I know that I’m not going anywhere…ever.
The scent of pancakes on the skillet has my belly growling so hard that it sounds like it’s about to eat itself. But when I move closer and I smell her sweet scent, peppermint and roses, I don’t give a shit about food anymore.
I just want her. And I don’t think there’s any damn thing out there that will make me forget how much I need her.
She glances up when I stand over her and there’s a dark shimmer in her silver-gray eyes that flashes so fast that I almost miss it.
But I don’t. And I don’t know if I’m a fucking idiot or the luckiest son of a bitch on this planet. But that look looks a helluva lot like hunger, want, need.
The same feelings skating over me as I stand near her.
But she turns away and I can’t be sure.
I just have to hope and pray that I saw what I saw. She needs me as much as I need her.
CHAPTER 5
Kinsey
“Good morning, Landon.”
His blue eyes swerve towards me and my whole body goes still. Like a deer facing a predator. My breath hushes in my lungs and I don’t hear anything around me but the beat of my own heart in the quiet. I can’t look away from the flash of sapphire and gold in his blue eyes.
My mouth goes dry and my hand comes up to clutch at my throat. Like I can force my body to come back online.
His full lips quirk in a little half-smile. I lick my lips and his gleaming eyes follow the path of my tongue. “Good morning, Kins. I can’t believe how different you look.”
Rolling my eyes, I glare at him. “My name is Kinsey. You know that Landon.”
