“If you give me ten minutes to drink a cup of coffee and wake up, I’ll go with you.”
“Sure. I’ll get Shiloh ready.”
Ten minutes later, we were on our way to the park. The sun was shining, and it was nice and cool. A perfect day for a run. The company was great too. If I wasn’t careful, people were going to notice that my usual frown had turned into a smile.
Chapter 21
KAT
THE SCENERY PASSED IN a blur as we sped down the highway. Nervous energy zipped through me, matching the speed of the truck. Sid was tapping his thumb on the steering wheel in tempo to a country song. The music was turned up louder than usual, and he was smiling.
I loved seeing him loose and free and hoped it had something to do with the amazing day and night we’d spent together. My skin tingled at the memory of what we had done on the mountain top.
It was the best sex of my life. I had no idea Sid was a dirty talker or that he enjoyed spanking. Who knew spanking could be so hot? I’d done plenty of kinky things, but I’d never been with a man bold enough to spank me. Or a man who took control the way Sid did. It was unexpected and sexy as hell.
I’d always been the dominant one in bed, but once Sid let go, I was happy to submit. He made me feel special and beautiful, like I was a treasure he’d just discovered. It was intoxicating. And like a drug, I needed another hit of it.
“Here we are,” Sid said.
We parked in front of a gorgeous log home with an expansive front porch. The mountains peaked over the roof, and I was dying to see the view from the back of the house.
“Wow,” I breathed.
“Yeah. It’s impressive. Jackson, his brothers, and his dad built this place. It’s Jackson’s house, but they all congregate here.”
“You’ve known them for a while?” I asked.
He nodded. “Yeah. Our whole life, it seems like.”
“How come you don’t hang out here more?” I asked.
He shrugged. “There’s Will. Take a deep breath because you’ll need it.” He jumped out of the truck, leaving me there, clueless as to what that even meant.
He opened the rear door to let Shiloh out of the back seat, then jogged around the front of the truck and opened my door. He held out his hand the same way he had when we first went to eat at Harvest House. I smiled and slipped my hand in his, allowing him to help me down.
Shiloh ran over and jumped on Will. Will growled and pushed her off. Then he wiped his hands down the front of his jeans.
“Asshole. You knew she would do that,” he shouted at Sid.
Sid let out a deep belly laugh and bent over at the waist. I smiled big. It was great to see him loosen up, even if it was because he thought Will was being ridiculous.
“How’s my future sister-in-law?” Will asked. He opened his arms for a hug, but Sid grabbed my arm and tugged me to his side. Will chuckled.
“I’m good. How are you?”
“Can’t complain.”
Will wiped his hands on his expensive jeans again. He was dressed more casually than he had been when I’d seen him at his parents’ house, but he still looked gorgeous. The man was hot as hell. His jeans were fitted, showcasing the thickness of his thighs. He was taller than Sid, not by much, but his shoulders were broader, like he worked out. The leather jacket he was wearing was a surprise since I’d seen him in dress shirts and suits the few times I’d been around him. But he wore it well.
A woman would have to be dead not to notice him. Especially since he was in magazines. Will had made the30 Under 30list for a few years running, and he likely would have made the list again this year if he hadn’t turned thirty. I only knew because Riley and Anna stalked the list like it was a dating website.
I could understand why women threw themselves at him. His smile would melt the panties off any woman, but I knew better. I’d met many men like Will. Most of the men I’d dated had been like him. They were cocky jerks who slept around a lot and took what they wanted from a woman before tossing her away.
A few years ago, I would have thrown myself at Will too, but not now. He was trouble, and I was staying far away from that sort of trouble. Sid was kind and honest, and I gravitated to him even though I didn’t think I was good enough for him. His growls and grunts made me laugh, and I had gotten used to them. One day, I hoped to hear less of them, but until then, I’d continue to ignore them.
“Can I show you around?” Will asked, holding out his arm for me to slip mine through.
Sid growled beside me, and his hand tightened around my waist. I turned to him, placed my hand on his chest, and shook my head. I loved the possessiveness Sid was displaying. It made me tingle and warmed my insides.
