He gave me the kind of kiss that made a woman’s toes curl.
It was sensual.
It was unhurried.
And it was thorough.
He explored my mouth like he’d never kissed me before, and I nearly ended up in a puddle at his feet by the time he finally released my mouth.
“Now I’m tempted to be late,” I said in a bemused voice.
He chuckled and took my hand so naturally that it felt like we’d been a couple forever.
“Let’s get out of here before I decide to cancel altogether,” he said as he led me out of the bedroom.
“We couldn’t,” I scolded. “Millie would be horribly disappointed.”
“I’d find a way to make it up to her,” he said as we made our way downstairs.
“I’m glad we’re going,” I shared. “I like Millie, and I’d really like to be friends with Anna, Reese, and Hannah. Lauren, too, when she comes back from her honeymoon.”
It was going to feel a little strange to be sitting at the same table as Anna because she was an international pop star and I’d always loved her music, but I was sure I’d get used to it. We’d met briefly in town, and she seemed like a down-to-earth woman, even though she was a household name.
“I think they’d be damn lucky to have you as a friend,” Asher rumbled.
“They’re wildly successful women,” I reminded him. “It’s a little intimidating.”
“Don’t,” he growled. “Don’t ever compare yourself to anyone else. They’re no better than you because they have successful careers. You can’t compare their lives to yours. You’ve already been successful. I’m not sure what happened to derail you for a while, but you’re a damn strong woman, Sierra. Nobody in this world should ever make you feel intimidated.”
I swallowed hard.
How lucky was I to have a guy who said things like that and really meant them?
“Not even you?” I said in a lighthearted tone.
“Especially not me,” he grunted. “I’m the guy who needed your help to get through my little brother’s wedding.”
“You’re actually a pretty intimidating guy,” I said as we entered the garage.
He opened the passenger door of his SUV for me.
“Not to you,” he said huskily. “Never to you.”
I slid into the seat and fastened my seat belt with a broad smile.
Asher Remington might be intimidating to a lot of people, but he was right.
He was probably never going to be scary to me.

“Ithink the whole town is excited that they’re starting to see you at some of the local places in Crystal Fork,” Millie gushed as we sat around the table.
We were right in the middle of dinner, and none of my cousins had slowed down on their food consumption.
No doubt Millie had to cook in large portions for these family dinners.
The Remington family could put away a lot of food.
