I tried telling hireedy with the way I touched him and tasted hi the inevitable line that would launch us fronificant He toldanywhere, but that didn’t stop y and unsatisfied no matter how skilled he ith his hands and his mouth I wanted all of him, not just the parts that he deemed safe and harlass of water as Sale cheesecake and towering carrot cake that were placed in front of her She handed me a spoon and lifted a raven-colored eyebrow ata hard tiue
"About the present …" I could feel a fiery blush work its way upa lot of time with Wheeler the last feeeks"
She nodded and scooped a spoonful of cake into her rin "I couldn’t be ives him his stamp of approval, even with the baby mama in the picture"
The fact that Rowdy liked Wheeler was also a check ory in one over the moody mechanic that even if Rowdy didn’t approve I would still be trying to figure out a way inside Wheeler’s cuffed and faded jeans
"Well, things are going … good" I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as she set the spoon down, propped her elbow on the table, and rested her chin on her hand
She fluttered her obnoxiously long eyelashes at me and purred, "Do tell"

That surprised a laugh out of ht I would say it, but yeah He’s been giving et used to him, and I adore him for that, but I feel like I’m all broken in now I don’t want him to think he’s in bed with a victim I want hirew and she turned back to her double dessert "So show hiure it out Seduce him, show him that you’re ready for the next step"

On the hand not holding the spoon she started ticking off exaot drunk and jumped Rule on her birthday Ayden showed up at one of Jet’s shoith another guy on Valentine’s Day Cora showed up unannounced at Root out of the shower and ended up knocked up Saint promised Nash ten minutes to rock his world I packed up my entire life and moved across the country for a boy I hadn’t seen in years because I was sure he was the one, and Royal showed up at Asa’s in the led her eyebrows up and down suggestively, which"You know Sayer had ulterior motives when she offered to help Zeb paint that old house he orking on, and last but not least Avett took a header off a freaking cliff knowing good and well Quaid was going to have to jump after her crazy ass You were there when Dixie clih she was scared to death after what happened to her dad All the woive theht direction at one point or another So armor to drop his shield"
I feltof our friends’ exploits was incredibly eye-opening They were the strongest, most well-loved women I had ever met, and if they could make a move and be none the worse for wear after, then I should be able to as well "And honestly, those diina? I can’t believe you’ve behaved yourself this long with that kind of teh that had the tables next to us giving us questioning looks but Saleeous wink
I finally picked up a spoon and dug into the still-untouched cheesecake "What can I say, good things come to those ait" At least I hoped they did because as of tonight I was done waiting I was going to move him where I wanted hi et hiot ho to figure out exactly how I could plan a night of seduction when Wheeler ca out soencies, turned toromantic and attractive rather than a place where demons chased me in the dark All of it felt off and way too forced Even if I set thesultry and seductive that would work as a flashing, light-up sign saying DO ME NOW!
