Blake

I slam the door closed behindhis wife jump Her hand flies to her chest, and her mouth drops open in surprise She shakes her head at s family is loud in some way We’ve never been a quiet bunch

“Little early to beon the kitchen counter

The ss fills the rooht It is too early to be as fucking pissed as I aony and there is only one person who can fix it And she won’t give me the time of day

This was the fourthin a row I’d woken up froher nails into my chest as she took her pleasure and moaned ht braid, spilling free and falling around her I watched it bounce with every glide of her hips down on my cock

“Fuck,” I ht frouy to walk around like this I’m constantly rock hard, and it never see, begging to have her It’s drivingatto crack I don't knoill happen when that time comes

Mary-Jane rolls her eyes hat sounds like a bull co down the hallway My older brother fills the roo a pissed-off face, too I’m sure we look identical in our frustration

“You fu-freaking knock when you come in here You had no clue ifat me

I have to stifle a laugh at the correction of his own curse word No one curses more than my brother Well, like he used to Now that their little boy, TJ, is here, Ty is trying to clean up his language It’s not working out so great

“And you” He turns to look at his wife, who places her hands on her hips, clearly not intimidated by Ty in the least Even if he is easily double her size “Why was the door unlocked?”

“I fed little TJ out on the porch swing early thisWhen he fell back asleep, I put him back down,” she tells him tartly

Ty walks over to her, picking her up and placing her on the counter before stepping between her legs

“I didn’t even feel you get out of bed” He says it so softly I almost don’t hear it

“’Cause you’re not sleeping You work this fars”

“I worry about you getting worn out,” he tells her

“The only one getting worn out is you I’ives her a kiss

I stand there and watch, so jealous my teeth hurt I’ve always been the laidback one in the fa the shit out of anyone I coht Ty would be the first one out of us to get ht I’d be the first Hell, before Mary-Jane showed up, Ty couldn’t even get it up, co accident a few years previous I’ to wish I had the same problem I never have any blood left in my brain with it all in my dick Maybe that's why I always come across as an asshole, when before I was always the coolest of the Jennings

Then there’s Trace He doesn’t even knoo he looks at with doe eyes is food Has been that way as long as I can remember

Now me, I always kneanted what our parents had But I didn’t think that was possible I’d never met a woman who even sparked an interest within me to head down that road Not until the day I saw Luciana and I knew she was it She hat I’d been waiting for She hit ht sound crazy, but it was there and I knew it One look and I knew she’d beI’d never felt before in my life

The first ti outside the veterinary office in town I was across the road fro them directions, when my eyes landed on her I stopped mid-sentence and stared at her When her eyes finally caave one as fast as she gave it, and she turned to walk inside the clinic Since that day, I’ve been trying to get her attention and I’ht-hearted one in the fa any of it The et out of her were one-word responses, no matter how hard I tried But I’ve seen her with other people With everyone else she laughs and s people soet it fro, a concrete wall falls into place and she does everything she can to avoid ht it was cute, but as ti to explode from need f

or her Like I’en If I don’t have her soon, I feel like I’ll die And I don’t , I want that, too, but it’s more than that I need her All of her

“There are other girls in town, Blake Plenty who have been trying to get with you for a while,” Ty says, breaking into ain “It’s not like you don’t flirt with everyone”

“I don’t flirt You just think having ”

Mary-Jane starts to giggle because I’ht of another woman only pisses me off I already have one I’ve had her from the moment I saw her As far as I’m concerned, she’s the only woman who exists for me

I don’t date girls fro where you eat, but that rule went out the ith Luciana None of the rules apply when it coether and I’et away froht not know it yet, but she’s o Maybe I should stop trying to be the nice guy Moving in slow and trying to get her attention hasn’t worked I need another plan One that works a whole lot faster Otherwise I’ll up in the loony bin or so I feel like that’s the direction I’m headed

I move towards the kitchen breakfast bar and take a seat, knowing Mary-Jane willto eat for breakfast God knows I can’t cook to save my life Dolly, our little sister, will sometimes take pity on me and come over and make me some meals, but she’s been MIA a lot lately I should probably look into that,into trouble

“Don’t you have some land to tend?” my brother says

“There is enough breakfast for everyone,” Mary-Jane says in a chastising tone

“He’s not eating what I plan on eating,” Ty growls, and Mary-Jane sh The change I’ve seen in my brother is crazy He hasn’t smiled this much since before we lost our parents and he took over watching out for all of us Goes to show you what the love of a good woman can do for you

“Besides, I’ve got a plan,” Mary-Jane says, looking over her shoulder at ives her one last kiss before pulling her fro her on her feet

“A plan for me?” I question, not sure what she thinks she can do

“Yep I caht It’s perfect” She claps her hands excitedly, her dark curls bouncing with thewith one, not caring about our conversation in the least “So I got an e View Veterinary Clinic yesterday”

With that, she hasThe clinic has been in town for as long as I can re new people here and there to help with the workload It can be hard to keep up with all the farms around here, not to mention the usual house pets
