“You can’t blame her. You haven’t been back in forever.”
“I wouldn’t be going back now except that you know who is apparently off visiting her new boyfriend’s family so apparently the coast is clear.”
“That’s great. Isn’t it?”
I can’t help the irritated chuff. “It would be. I want to see her. What I don’t want is an entire town waiting for me to have a breakdown because I got a dear john letter!”
“You’re not the first guy to get one. And I guarantee there’s something out there that’s better for you than Jessie.”
I wince when he growls her name.
“Yeah, I know that.”
“Just try to enjoy visiting with your family. And then get your ass out here. I can’t wait for you to meet Hannah.”
“Alright. I’ll see you soon.” I hang up the phone and sigh, picking up the can of Bud Light and draining it one big swallow.
“How the hell did I go from no plans except for hiding in a hotel room to now visiting all over hell and creation?”
I stand and stretch the kinks out of my tall body. I feel like I haven’t actually stood up for a week.
I stalk over and open the bathroom door, switching on the shower with a flick of the wrist. I shrug out of my clothes and then climb into the shower, letting the steaming-hot, pounding spray work some of the kinks out of my tense muscles. I slide my soapy hands down my hard belly, feeling my dick twitch under my hand. It’s been forever since I’ve felt the touch of a woman. It’s all been quick maintenance in the shower or the bed late at night. I could really use a sweet, sexy body to lose myself in.
I let my mind wander. I can see her big bubble butt in my head. Just right for my big hands to sink into the plump curves of her ass. And a trophy-worthy rack that’s just begging for my mouth to wrap around her soft coral-pink nipples and suck until she’s breathless, digging her nails into my scalp. Soft, light golden skin and bright hazel eyes that sparkle with desire. A sinful pair of burgundy lips that wrap around my cock and suck until my eyes cross.
I feel jets of my seed spill out of me, jerking and twitching as I fall into the wall. Shit! I haven’t had a release that good in ages.
I groan and clean up again. That sure as hell wasn’t the kind of girl I usually think of. Jessie’s thin, blonde and tanned with long, fake nails. That girl didn’t look like her at all. Maybe I’m growing up and my taste is changing.
I turn the water off and step out, grabbing a towel and drying off quickly. My brain feels more clear than it has in ages and I grin, leaning on the sink. I run my hand along my jaw, feeling the raspy stubble and not really giving a shit.
Mom won’t care either. And I need to get my ass on the road. Whistling, I grab my clothes and change.
I grab my bags and head out to the rental car. It’s a long drive home. But for the first time it doesn’t feel like I’m wrapped up in a fog. It feels like there’s something out there to look forward to.
I just hope it’s not another woman. That I definitely don’t need.
ChapterTwo
JOY
“Mom! I’m going out for awhile!” I duck out the door before she can come up with a new chore that I absolutely have to take care of before she lets me have some fun!
I whistle softly, pulling on my crisp white hat and gloves. The air is clean and bites just a little bit. Just enough to make puffs of my breath like a dragon. I laugh and throw my head back, catching tiny little snowflakes on my tongue, shivering when they melt.
The temperature at thirty two is perfect for big, white fluffy flakes and I laugh again. I’d love to build a snowman in the yard but I’m too old for something like that. Mom would for sure find me and yell at me to find something more ladylike or useful to do.
I dart down the road enjoying the almost-dusk half-light. Everything looks soft, fuzzy and covered in white. It’s so pretty and magical that it almost makes me forget that it’s darn cold. I wrap my scarf a little higher on my face. It’s been equal bits hell and heaven being away from my home for school. College is a bit harder than I thought it would be but I’m loving it. Especially being out from under my mother’s thumb. That part is awesome! But I miss my hometown. Canyon County is a nice place to grow up. Just big enough to be interesting but too small to be a place to lose yourself in.
I cut through the woods at the back of our house and head over to Jackson’s parent’s house. I know he won’t be there but I haunt the place whenever I’m home, hoping for a glimpse of him. I’ve been half in love with the boy next door since I could barely toddle after him. But my sister got to him first and really screwed him over. Now I know I won’t have a prayer of attracting him. I mean, I look nothing like Jessie. She’s tall and thin. I’m short and way too curvy with an ass and boobs that won’t quit. She’s tanned and blonde with blue eyes. I’ve got paler skin, freckles, long dark straight hair and hazel eyes that really are no color in particular.
All in all, I got the short end of the genetics stick. And if Jackson has a type it’s my sister not me. But nothing hurts to look! Looking’s free right?
I giggle and run my hand along the tree, dodging the falling snow that was resting on the branches.
Right as I’m turning the corner, I run into a big, hard body. I fall backwards, pinwheeling my arms wildly to try and catch myself. Before I hit the snow I’m yanked forward and right into that warm, hard body that I felt a second ago.
“Oof!” I grunt, closing my eyes.
