Lindy came around the corner, rubbing her big belly. She was one of those women who looked adorable pregnant. She glowed. A smile was always on her face, and I doubted her ankles swelled even a little bit. Plus, she had the nicest, most gorgeous, ridiculously attentive husband. Who was sticking. Who was making a life with her together. A baby.
I was jealous. I was falling for a man who’d already done the baby thing and certainly didn’t want to do that again. Wasn’t staying in town. Was only interested in me for sex.
That. That was it. His conversation with Mav and Mac proved that. He was holding up his end of the contract. I couldn’t be mad, and I shouldn’t be hurt.
But I was.
Lindy cocked her head and grinned. “There you are, I thought you fell in or something. You’re going to come to my shower on Sunday, right?”
“Wouldn’t miss it,” I told her.
“You done in there?”
I pasted on a smile and nodded. “Yeah, I’m done.” Or I would be when Daniel’s plane left. Because while he was gorgeous, and nice–but I wouldn’t tell him that because I had a feeling he liked being thought of as gruff and growly–and ridiculously attentive, especially in bed, I was nothing more than someone else he was leaving behind.

DANIEL
When it cameto Melly Harwood, I was insatiable. She–and admittedly all the women–had lusty gleams in their eyes as they watched the caber tossing. I never really considered it an aphrodisiac until after we finished. The women practically pulled the guys out of the house. If I didn’t see the need in Melly’s gaze I’d feel a little snubbed, but I was thankful. All I had to do was kick out my brothers–and ensure they didn’t come back.
Then I had her to myself.
And I had her.
On the stairs.
In the bed the first time.
And the second.
And the third.
Now, with the morning sun, I wanted her again. Of course, she was nestled up in front of me, my hand cupping her lush tit, so how could I not?
She stirred, rubbing her face against the pillow, shifting her body so her ass pushed back and her chest out right into my palm.
“Morning,” I said, giving her tit a gentle grope and her nipple a thumb swipe.
She smiled. “Hi.”
“Sex or coffee first?” I asked. When Danny was little, someone wise told me to offer him two choices, but both ones I liked. I was implementing that now because if it was coffee then sex, or sex then coffee, we both would win.
“Mmm,” she murmured, reaching up to swipe her hair back from her face. She was so put-together all the time, but like this? Her hair was wild, her makeup was gone. She was bare.
This, right in my arms, was the real Melly Harwood. Not the one Ang thought I should be careful around. Not the one Deek kept telling me I needed to leave alone. Not even the one her friends knew.
I had a feeling I was the only person to see her this way. I was the only one she trusted her body and all her secret fantasies with. Sure, she set up boundaries, but what we accomplished within them was insane.
When Mav and Mac asked me the night before about my leaving town, I lied.
Partly.
I was so fucking eager to get the hell out of town. To caber toss and see Scotland and wherever else I wanted. When I wanted. How I wanted. No work or school schedule. No groceries or… life.
But this? The woman in my arms? How had two days with her changed my thoughts on our contract? That being with her until my plane left wasn’t going to be enough. How was I going to stop wanting her because for a virgin, she was my match. What made her hot got me off.
Helping her explore her sexuality was like watching a little kid ride a bike for the first time.
