“Wait,” I said. “You told your mother about me? About us?”
Beau swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
“Yeah. I—” He hooked two fingers into my belt loop and pulled me closer. “I needed to ask her advice. About how to be a good husband to you. And a good father to our kids, if you want them.”
“Oh, Beau,” I breathed, touching his cheek.
This man’s devotion ran bone-deep. How could I have been so blind not to notice it before?
“You really want to stay,” I whispered.
“For you, I do.”
Epilogue
Beau - Three Months Later
I woke in Rory’s apartment with her warm, bare body tucked against my chest. The clock showed it was barely past four o’clock in the morning, which meant I needed to get moving if I wanted to make it to the ranch on time to start work. Bowen had already grumbled about how often I spent the night at Rory’s place instead of the bunkhouse.
I skimmed my lips across Rory’s exposed shoulder. Three months into our relationship and it was still torture to leave her side for the day. Slowly, I pulled the sheets aside and started to slide out of bed.
Rory yawned and burrowed into my chest. I froze and sagged against the pillow, wrapping an arm around her middle. Maybe I would risk Bowen’s wrath today. Hell, maybe I’d quit my job altogether and stay right here for eternity.
Then I remembered that package I’d ordered two weeks ago. The jeweler had been out of Denver, so it cost a pretty penny, but every red cent was worth it. Realizing I needed that job to provide for our future, I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed.
As I pulled my jeans on, Rory stretched. The sheets slipped down, exposing her breasts—just big enough to fill my hands, nipples beaded stiff and faint pink. A small, contented smile spread across her face.
“I always liked the way those jeans looked on you. Nice and snug on the backside.”
Oh, hell. I’m definitely going to be late.
“You noticed,” I replied. “I’m flattered.”
Rory stretched an arm out as lazy as a sleeping cat in the sun. She wiggled her fingers, summoning me closer. I stepped forward and propped one knee on the bed. She skimmed her palm up my thigh, ghosting over my cock with a teasing squeeze.
“Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?”
Rory looked so enticing, so perfectly naked. What little resolve I’d managed to muster crumbled in an instant. Within seconds, I had the sheets pushed aside, sucking at her nipples with my fingers buried knuckle-deep inside her.
The faint noises she made had my cock aching for release. When her pussy fluttered around my fingers, Rory tugged at my hair, pulling me up her body. I unzipped my jeans and fumbled a condom on in record time. Then I was inside her tight, slick heat with one long, slow thrust. She moaned into my mouth, shoved my jeans down, and gripped my ass, pulling me deeper.
“Oh, God, I love the way you fill me up,” she murmured against my lips.
I propped myself up one elbow, gazing down at her in the dim light of her bedroom. Her frizzy hair fanned out across the pillow, with her legs hitched up around my hips. I slowly pulled out and pushed back in, watching the pleasure on her face until she’d taken every inch of my cock.
After three months together, the passion between us had only grown even more hot and hungry. It didn’t take long before we were exchanging sloppy kisses, grasping and grinding, tipping over the edge together. I sprawled across Rory, both of us struggling to catch our breath, sticky and sated.
With my cheek pressed to Rory’s chest, she threaded her fingers through my hair and kissed the top of my head.
“Ask me,” she whispered.
It took me a split second to realize what she was saying. I lifted my head to look down at her.
“How did you…?”
Rory skimmed her thumb along my lower lip, trailing her hand down my chest.
“Cody can’t keep a secret to save his life. He let it slip that you bought a ring a few weeks ago.”
