“Lucky bastard.”
“And she’s pregnant.”
“Good for him.”
I nod, but I know what we’re both thinking. We want that to be us.
Grier’s blonde ponytail swishes by the front window, and my cock hardens in my jeans. I want her blonde locks wrapped around my fist as I plow into her.
“When’s your appointment?” Whit asks, and I clean my throat.
“Five minutes.”
He nods. He’s well aware of my standing appointment with Grier. That’s probably how he knew I was here.
Anise walks past the window to grab something from Grier’s station, and Whit goes on high alert next to me. I know without looking that he’s tracking her every move.
I was the tech guy in the service. I handled that on our missions, but Whit was a sniper. He can sit for days and watch a target. I would know because I was his point person on more than a few missions, and I would stay awake with him.
“When are you going to make your move?”
I mull over his words.
My plan of waiting for her to warm up and show some sign of being ready for me clearly isn’t working. Every time I talk to her, the conversation follows the same pattern.
I approach her and try to be friendly; she says something sassy or sarcastic back; I fall even more in love with her and she stomps off.
I can’t do it anymore.
Something needs to change.
I just have no idea what that is.
Maybe it’s time that I stop fighting my instincts when it comes to Grier. Maybe I should just trust my gut. It’s gotten me this far, after all.
“Soon,” I tell him, and he claps me on the shoulder before we both climb out of my truck and head toward our women.

Grier
I resistthe urge to peek out the window as I clean up my station. I can feel Hunter’s eyes on me, and even though I would never admit it to anyone, I secretly love it.
His appointment is in a few minutes, and I try to hide how excited I am to be near him again. He’s been coming in here every day. He says he just needs a trim, but after the third day, I stopped even grabbing the scissors or clippers, and I’m mainly just styling it. Which means that I’m really just running my fingers through his hair for twenty minutes.
It’s the best part of my day.
I’m getting too attached to him. I should schedule him with someone else or just cancel his appointment, but I need the money. Fallen Peak is a pretty cheap city to live in, but I’d like to eventually move out of my apartment and into my own place, so I need to save up all that I can.
I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing for the last five months and give him sass to try to cover up how I really feel about him. It’s been working this long so I guess why rock the boat?
The bell above the door dings, and I take a deep breath before I turn to greet Hunter and Whit.
“Back so soon?” I ask sarcastically, and he grins.
“You know that I couldn’t resist seeing my girl,” he says back easily as he makes his way over to my chair.
Jonah pushes open the door, nodding at the rest of us before he makes a beeline for Mabel. The two of them met one night when her car broke down, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. I’m happy for them. They both are such great people, and they’re so happy together.
