Imagine that.
Earl Sutton had got caught sneaking out her mother’s bedroom window.
“My daddy had his shotgun. You should have seen your daddy sprint across the field to where his truck was parked.” Shelby had tears running down her face.
Earl shook his head and held his hands up. “I give up.”
Roxxy wiped the tears from her cheeks. She hopped down from the chair and walked over to her father. She wrapped her arms around his waist. He rested his arm around her shoulders and hugged her back.
“It’s okay, Daddy. Myles is a good man. You would like him. He’s an Army man like yourself.”
“I heard.” Earl instantly warmed up.
Roxxy knew her father, and he was loyal to his Army men. That would be one thing that he and Myles could bond over.
Earl placed a kiss on Roxxy’s forehead. “If he hurts you, I don’t care what branch he served in. My bullets aren’t prejudiced at all.”
“Oh, you hush now. From what Roxxy tells me, he’s a fine, standup man. I can’t wait to meet him,” Shelby announced. She turned back to her task of sandwich making.
“So you’ve already shared with your mother about Burton?” her father asked.
Roxxy slipped away and walked to the fridge. Before she left with Myles, she had planned to take him riding up to her favorite spot. They would have lunch out on the farm. She wanted to show him where she lived and give her big city man a taste of the country.
She had to introduce him to her mare, Sunshine. That horse was considered a best friend of Roxxy’s. She’d had her forever, and it was important that her two special people meet.
“You know how us girls gossip.” Shelby placed the sandwiches in a container. She had agreed to make lunch for Roxxy and Myles. Shelby Sutton’s cooking was known all over the county. A few things had rubbed off on Roxxy, but today, she was treating Myles to Shelby’s food.
“What time is he going to arrive?” Earl asked, leaning against the counter.
They were interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Roxxy grinned and fought back jumping in place like a young schoolgirl. She was a grown woman and should be acting like it.
But the memories of riding Myles’s thick cock dried her mouth.
“Now. Promise me you will be behave.” She gave her father the same stare he gave her when he meant business.
“Of course he will.” Her mother elbowed her father in the side. “Go on, girl. Don’t leave your man out there waiting.”
Roxxy grinned, not needing to be told twice. She turned on her heel and practically ran to the front door.
She paused in the foyer and tried to will her heart to slow down. Glancing at the mirror on the wall, she made sure she appeared perfect. Satisfied with her appearance, she stepped back and strolled to the door.
She opened it, and there was Myles, larger than life. He looked even better than the last time they’d FaceTimed each other, which was last night. The sight of him in a tight t-shirt, jeans, and boots had her core clenching.
Damn, this man is sexy as sin.
He had a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
Roxxy melted.
She was a sucker for roses.
“Hi there,” she drawled.
“Hey.”
His gaze slid down her body, sending a chill down her spine. She knew that expression. If her parents weren’t home, she’d drag him up to her room so she could have her way with him.
“These are for you.” He handed them to her.
There was a mix of pink, red, and yellow roses. Roxxy leaned down and sniffed them.
She sighed.
She was falling for this big hunk of a man.
No question about it, Myles Burton had snuck inside her heart.
“They are beautiful,” she whispered. She stepped forward.
He immediately gripped her hips, closing the gap between them. She stood on tiptoe and offered her lips to him. He didn’t hesitate in swooping down to claim them.
He commanded the kiss. She had no issues submitting to him while he thoroughly kissed her to within an inch of her life.
They pulled back from each other. Roxxy’s breaths were coming fast. Her body ached for him, but there was nothing they could do now.
Hell, his rock-hard dick was brushing against her stomach. Fifteen, no, ten minutes was all she needed with him just to take this ache away. Memories of the feel and taste of him in her mouth had her licking her lips.
Down, girl. There will be plenty of time for that later.
