I nod, urging her to keep talking.

I’ll do anything to get these tears that eat at my soul to dry up.

“Everything feels so right, right now,” she whispers, her hands sliding over my shoulders and around my neck. “I’m so happy it’s…overwhelming.”

“I get that,” I say, gently kneading my thumbs into her waist.

Her lip trembles and I tug her closer. “Sorry…” She sniffs, throwing her head back and groaning. “I promise I’m not trying to ruin our night.”

“You’re here with me, aren’t you?” I hum, wrapping an arm around her waist and guiding her into my lap. She hikes her short little number up, swinging her legs over my thighs and straddling my lap. “As long as we’re together, nothing can ruin my night.”

She smiles, cupping my face in her hands and pressing her mouth to mine in a sensual, slow kiss that has my cock thickening. She pulls away ever so slightly, her lips ghosting over mine with a whisper, “You stink.”

I grin, gripping her soft, bare thighs where they meet her ass. I lift her in my arms and turn us, pinning her under me, the mattress now at her back. She gasps at the quick change in position, her arms still locked around my neck as she brings me in for another kiss. She arches against me and I can feel the heat of her body increasing.

My girl likes to get tossed around in the bedroom.

Storing that information for later, I chuckle when her stomach rumbles its grievance against mine. Finally peeling my body from hers, I gaze down at her rumpled dress and pouty lips. “Later,” I growl, not able to help myself when I swoop in for one more kiss.

I straighten, forcing my legs in the direction of the shower.

“That better be a promise, mountain man,” she teases.

Looking back at her sitting on the bed has me questioning my resolve. I remind myself of her stomach growling against mine a second ago, and the desire to put her needs before mine takes precedence. “I don’t say things I don’t mean, sweetheart.”

After a quick shower, I throw on a clean pair of jeans and a black dress shirt, tucking in the bottom and cuffing the long sleeves mid-forearm. I comb my hair back and spray whatever shit my sister, Lily, bought for me last Christmas over it before heading downstairs.

I arch a brow at the sight of Cassidy wrapping Frankie up on the couch and flicking through channels on the TV. “Ready to go?” I ask, hitting the bottom step and walking toward her.

“Yup, just need to find—” She turns the TV to an old western classic and sets the remote down on the coffee table. “All set.”

I gesture between the TV and Frankie’s bundled fat ass on the couch. “What’s all this?”

“Oh,” she giggles. “Frankie’s Saturday night westerns.”

“Hiswesterns?”

I follow behind her as she sways into the kitchen, her waist, hips, and ass begging for my undivided attention. Engrossed in watching her, I almost miss her saying, “He used to sit with my dad every Saturday watching western movies. Even after my dad passed, he watches them every Saturday. He’ll cry if I don’t put them on for him.”

I chuckle. “So, you sit around watchingButch Cassidy & The Sundance Kidwith Frankie every Saturday?”

She glances up at me, slinging her long purse over her shoulder. “Huh? Butch Cassidy?”

I sit down at one of the kitchen stools to put on my cowboy boots—the cleaner pair reserved for going out. “Yeah, it’s an old western movie from the sixties. I probably watched it a hundred times growing up. It’s my dad’s favorite.”

She slips into a pair of sandals. “It…sounds familiar.”

“Ah, shit,” I mutter before reaching for the door. Instead, I grab the flowers from the counter and turn to Cass, handing them to her. “These are for you.”

She giggles, taking them from my extended reach and bringing them to her nose. “I saw. Thank you.”

“Yeah, sorry. I fucked that up, didn’t I?” I grumble. “Should’ve given them to you when I got home.”

She sets them onto the counter before coming up beside me, slipping her hand in mine with the other holding my forearm close to her. “I love them, Butch. Thank you.”

I kiss her again. And again. Because I need to.

She makes everything feel so…easy.
