Page 27 of The Cowboy and His Best Friend's Daughter

Coming down from this high, we don’t want to break the connection, so neither of us moves. I cover her, keeping her warm, and my cock softens inside of her, not ready to leave her just yet. Seeing the beautiful flush that covers her skin, and the sated smile she gives me, makes it all worthwhile.

After one more kiss, I roll us onto our sides and pull a blanket up over us.

"Just let me hold you, sweetheart," I say, and she nods into my chest.

Never again will I be able to look at a night under the stars quite the same.

Chapter 12

Jenna

"Girl,youareGLOWING!"Austin says as I walk into the diner for my shift. "Come on, spill it!"

I think my whole body turns red from the attention.

Then she hands me a cup of coffee since we have a lull and no one else is in the diner but us, the cook, and another waitress.

"It's the older guy I told you about," I say, smiling dreamily.

"Ooooohhh! Still no names?!" she asks.

"No, he agreed to give us a chance, but doesn't want people to know just yet." I sip my coffee and watch Austin's face fall.

"He wants to keep you a dirty secret?"

"Not like that, it's just... when it comes out, it will upset certain people, and we want to make sure there is something there before we spill the beans. Also, we want to break it to them in our own way."

"Well, it's fun to stay in your own little bubble, but don't let him keep you there past when you want. Then it becomes a problem."

Right then I get a hint that maybe she has experience with that. But I don't ask, instead I let it go.

"I know, but this weekend I just got him to agree to give us a chance. It's all new, and I want to take the time to make sure this is right for me as well. No point is upsetting everyone if it isn't."

"I get it. So, this weekend was good?" She shifts the conversation back to safer topics.

"Very good. We talked and decided to give it a try. He took me out on a non-public date, and then we uhhh..." My face heats just admitting it.

"Made the beast with two backs?" Austin says, and we both burst into giggles just as the bell over the door rings.

A few of the church ladies walk in and take a table in the middle of the room. They want to make sure they don't miss any gossip if anyone else walks in.

"Hello, ladies. Are you here for your after-church snacks?" I ask walking up to their table. These ladies always meet here after some church event to talk and catch each other up on whatever gossip the other might have missed.

"You know us well, Jenna. What desserts do you have today?" Mrs. Granger asks.

"Pecan bourbon pie, chocolate Coca-Cola pie, strawberry cheesecake, and lemon meringue." I list them off.

"Pecan," all four ladies say at once, and I gasp.

"Ladies, I'm shocked. You just came from church." I smile while writing write down the order.

"It's because we just came from church. We are getting the pecan pie. We really need to get a preacher in there who can make those speeches a bit livelier instead of so dull. If you all served alcohol in here, we'd have you spike our sweet tea as well," Mrs. Pearl says.

Pearl is her first name, but because she's had multiple husbands, we just call her Pearl instead of mixing up her last names.

All four of the ladies laugh, and so do I.

"Okay, well, let me go and put this in for you. Do you need or want anything else?" I ask, before stepping away.
