“Yeah.”
“With you, it’s always like this for me. So fucking good.”
“How can you make me feel like this?”
“Back atcha.”
I don’t know how long we stay like this, but it’s the best afternoon. I don’t want to do anything else except take Presley back to the ranch and have my way with her.
And that’s exactly what I do.
Because I can. Because the two of us are together.
Now, to figure out a way to make the rest of my life less complicated so I can stay. Presley was right. I keep leaving.
This time? There will be no leaving.
I’m staying for them.
I want a life here with these women.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to get it.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
KADE
“Another month of being gone?” Kelly huffs. “Are you really going to be able to take that much time off and jump back in? I know I’ve been able to manage, but with new deals coming up, we need you in the office.”
I scrub a hand through my hair. “I’m doing the best I can here. It’s not easy.”
“Do you plan on coming back?” Kelly asks.
The million-dollar question.
Do I plan on going home to Seattle?
On the one hand, it’d be a nice influx of cash for the ranch. Something that I desperately need right now.
But leaving Presley and Poppy? I rub my fist over my heart. I don’t know if I could take that.
“Send me the final Brissett account documents and I’ll look those over.” I ignore her question. “I’ll give my seal of approval.”
“When I didn’t hear back from you, I sent them to Jake.” Her voice is hesitant.
“What, now I can’t even do the one job I’m good at?” I mutter, more to myself than anyone. “Fine. If there’s anything that I do need to do, let me know.”
“I’ll hopefully see you soon.”
She ends the call.
See you soon.
I have no idea when I’ll be heading back. It’s like I’m between a rock and a hard place. Both parts of my life are pulling at me.
Do I go with what’s safe and secure, and leave town again? Or do I keep doing what I’ve been doing? Stay and show up for the two most important people in my life?
I drop my phone onto my desk, needing to ignore it for a little while. A few of the guests staying with us are heading into the early dinner seating when my voice is shouted from behind me.
