“Maybe… So, you have horses and cattle. What other animals live here?”
The shift in topic lightens the mood as I gesture for Davie to follow me back outside. She wants to forget about her sister's drama?
I’ll show her every cute and fluffy critter the Rocking M has to offer.

DAVIE
My pacing wears on the carpet in the guest room Cormac gave me. I could tell he was reluctant to give me a separate space, but I appreciate he didn't force me to move into his bedroom immediately upon our marriage.
Though sleeping alone on my wedding night wasn't exactly how I always imagined it.
“And I could change that tonight,” I say aloud, “if I can stop being a coward.”
After a tour around the Rocking M today, we spent dinner together with Connor, Fancy, and some of the other ranch employees. Everyone congratulated us again on our nuptials, then moved on to casual conversation—a relief since I don't like being the center of attention.
“Ugh,” I groan. I check the baby monitor in my hand and see that Jesse is still knocked out in his crib in the nursery Cormac created.
A sleeping baby means I have free time.
And what do I want to do with it? Jump my newfound husband.
I mean, it's really not fair that I'm married to a sexy silver fox who clearly knows his way around a woman's body.
And I'm still a virgin bride. There should be some kind of law against that.
Even if it's my own damn fault, because I let this thing with Jessica get in my head.
Forget about your sister, Cormac has. This is your life. Take the reins.
The pep talk gets me out of my bedroom and into Cormac's after knocking on his door to no answer. The sound of the shower comes from his ensuite bathroom, and I wonder if it'd be better if I come back later.
No, Davie. Do this now before you chicken out.
My legs carry me forward to the threshold of the bathroom. Steam billows above the open shower stall. It's one of those fancy layouts where there's no lip. The tile just runs in a slight slope into the shower section where it drains, and a glass wall separates the space from the freestanding tub.
Cormac sees me immediately based on the sudden tension in his body.
His wet,nakedbody.
A cascade of water spills over his sun-darkened skin and firm muscles all the way down to the heavy cock resting in his fist.
Holy fuck, did I just walk in on him jerking off?
“Davie, is everything alright?” he asks like everything is normal, and he's not standing in front of me naked, his huge palm lightly stroking a rather large erection.
A knot forms in my throat. “Everything's fine.” I wave the baby monitor in the air. “Jesse's asleep.”
“Good,” he says. “Did you need something?”
Curiosity and hunger mingle in his gaze.
It's the latter that gives me the confidence to step closer. “I…” Panic sets in as words desert me.
I want you to fuck me?
Take my virginity?
