My champ.
My heart.
My everything.

Romeo
We’d been backfor over a week, and it had been a three-ring circus in Magnolia Falls. We’d arrived home the day after the fight, and people had lined the streets with signs as they cheered me on.
This entire town had been behind me.
I guess in a way, this fight represented a lot to many people.
A small-town boy doing something unexpected.
Going the distance.
It taught me that you could accomplish anything you wanted to accomplish if you worked hard and stayed the course.
If you had the right people in your corner, which I did.
The next few days were spent recovering, taking a lot of baths with my girl, and enjoying every second of her pampering the hell out of me.
The guys teased me relentlessly about how concerned she’d been, and I sure as hell wasn’t complaining.
I’d been the same with her. Worried like hell about her broken arm and insisted she hire more help at the coffee shop so she didn’t have to work so much.
This morning, I watched her sleep, running my fingers through her silky hair. She was so goddamned beautiful she took my breath away every time I looked at her.
“Hey,” she whispered. “Are you watching me sleep?”
“I am.”
Her eyes peeked open, and she blinked a few times. “How do you feel?”
“Pretty damn good. How’s the arm?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. I told you that.” She chuckled.
I ran my fingers over her shoulder. “Good.”
“Are we still going to see a few houses this morning?”
“Yes. There’s one down on the water. It needs a lot of work, but we’ve got two contractors at our beck and call, and you’ve got a good eye.”
“A good eye, huh?” She pushed up, keeping the sheet around her shoulders as she moved on top of me. Sitting up with one leg on each side and straddling me.
This girl, man.
She was so fucking beautiful.
My hands covered her perfect tits, tweaking her nipples and loving the way her cheeks flushed when I touched her.
“You’ve got a good eye for design,” I said, my voice gruff.
