“As always.” I smile brightly at her. “Come on, Pop. Time to head home so you can get ready for your play date.”
“Okay. Bye, Kade!”
“Bye, Poppy.”
“I’ve got to get back to the barn and get some work done,” Kade tells me. “I wish I could spend the afternoon with you instead.”
“I’m not afraid of any hard work.” I stand up straighter, tilting my head back to stare into his eyes. “Use me, Kade.”
“Use you? You sure you know what you’re asking?”
“I do.” I nod.
“Then why don’t you change and come meet me at the ranch. I’ll put you to work, Pres.”
A little hard work and getting sweaty with this sexy cowboy? It will definitely put this morning behind me.
I can’t wait.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
KADE
“Iforgot how much you can get done when you put your mind to it.”
Presley wipes a bead of sweat from her brow. Since it’s Saturday, I sent the work crew home early once I got back from the farmers’ market. It’s just the two of us. I would have spent the whole day with Presley and Poppy if she didn’t have a play date.
I didn’t plan on spending our day like this, demolishing the last wall in the back barn so we can start restructuring it.
But watching Presley swing that hammer?
Fuck, she is so damn sexy, it hurts.
She drops the sledgehammer. “You forgot who destroyed the homecoming float my senior year.”
“I should hire you to come out here and do this work. We’d be done already.”
Presley walks toward me, a swing in her hips. I rest a hand on her hip as she slides her hands behind my neck.
“For you, Kade? I would gladly come out and work every day.”
Closing the distance between the two of us, I capture her lips with mine.
Her fingers dig into the hairs at the nape of my neck. I deepen the kiss, savoring her taste. Hoisting her into my arms, I press her back against the barn wall. When she gasps, I kiss and suck my way up her jaw, nibbling on her earlobe.
I lick my way down her neck and feel her pulse throbbing under my touch.
“Kade. More.”
“What do you want, Pres?”
“I want to be yours, Kade.”
“Fuck.”
Setting her on her feet, I step up. Her gaze is hazy and full of lust. My cock is hard and ready to burst out of my jeans. Rubbing a hand over the denim, I beckon her forward.
“Then take off your shirt.”
