“I don’t want Daddy to know yet. I want some time before we tell our families. There’s too much at stake. And I don’t want Daddy running you off just because of me like he does with every other guy.” She raises her eyebrows. “Even if you were his accomplice.”

“I stand by what I said. Those fuckers didn’t deserve you and I can guarantee you they don’t know how to give an orgasm. They can’t even find the trash can, let alone a G-Spot.” I roll my eyes. What she doesn’t know is that I was the instigator, egging Cal on with those assholes. She continues to stare at me. “I don’t like the idea of lying to them, Reece. It could blow up in our faces.”

“I’m not saying we lie, just that we keep the truth in our own little bubble for right now. And hope they don’t ask us. But I don’t think they will. We’re together all the time.” She pulls pizza off the pan.

My brow furrows at her suggestion. “Fine. I’ll follow your timeline on this.”

“Thank you.”

I take both our plates to the sink and wash them quickly while she wanders around looking at the space.

Finding her in my bedroom, I slide up behind her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders. “What do you think?”

“Definitely a step up from the twin bunk.” She giggles and spins around in my arms. “Is this real, Jay? Us. It feels surreal to me that you want me.”

“Are you kidding me, Reece? I feel the same way. I’m just some idiot ranch hand who got lucky. You’re at college with these guys who are going to get out of here, do something with their life. With me, you’re forever stuck here.”

“I love it here. I don’t want someone who’s going to take me away. I wanted you, I just never thought you wanted me.” She shies away a little with the confession.

Tipping her face to me with my forefinger under her chin, I press my lips into hers. “I want you, Reece.”

Shifting her to my side, I drop us down onto the bed. Pulling her closer to me, my tongue parts her lips, letting me in to tangle with hers. Her leg drapes over my lap and I know my hardening cock is pressing into her thigh.

Allowing my hands to roam, I grab a handful of her breasts, massaging her and running my finger over her peaked nipples. The moans that escape are the sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard.

I fell in love with her before this physical connection, but this… this is beyond what I could have ever imagined being with Reece could be. To have this with my best friend feels like a freaking dream.

I’m vibrating out of my damn chair in this last mid-term. After I finish this one test, I’m out of here and back to the ranch to spend a whole week with Jaycob. He’s come to visit a few times, and I’ve gone back for some quick weekends, but it’s never enough.

The ranch is nearing the end of calving season, and I can’t wait to meet all the new babies. Jaycob has a bottle-fed baby right now and he’s been FaceTiming me every night when he goes to feed her. She’s just the sweetest little thing.

Filling out the last damn bubble on this form, I gather up my belongings and drop my test in the basket at the front of the room. Then I run to my car.

Me:On my way home!

Jay ♥?:Perfect. You should get here just about the time Milkshake needs her next bottle.

Me:Really! Should I go right to the barn or you want to meet me at your place?

Jay ♥?:Meet me at the house. That way you can drop off your stuff and I can shower. I’m taking you out tonight to celebrate.

Me:What are we celebrating?!

Jay ♥?:You being in my bed for a whole week.

Me:Mmm that is worth celebrating.

Of all the nights I’ve spent in his bed, there’s still only been aclothes-onrule. Not for lack of trying on my part though.

Turning on my newest playlist, I settle in for the two hour drive home.

When I walk into the house, I hear the shower going so I decide to let myself in.

Jaycob pops his head out of the shower when he hears the door click.

“Hey, Reeces Pieces.” His gaze drops to my hands as I push my leggings down my legs. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I’m joining you. Can I do that?” I smile sweetly and bat my eyelashes before pulling my shirt over my head, revealing a matching lavender panties and bra set.
