Page 68 of Falling Together

But nothing beats this.

“Wow.”

“Hi,” she says, smiling as she walks up to me.

“You look…wow.”

The dress brings out the color of her eyes, and brushes just above her knees. And those cowboy boots of hers are already driving me wild.

“You don’t look so bad yourself, Grant.”

She smooths a hand down my tie and it makes me want to throw out my plans for the night and stay here with her. But I need to have patience.

I’ve waited a long time for this moment, and I want to savor every second with her.

“You kids have fun now,” one of her friends calls out as I lead Georgia outside.

“Lock up when you leave,” Georgia tells them.

Before I help her into the truck, I spin her and press my lips against hers.

I may have some patience, but I can’t resist this woman all night. I can’t resist that mouth of hers.

“Mmm. Hi,” she purrs.

“You look really fucking sexy, Cowgirl.”

“I’m glad you like this.”

“Get in,” I say. “I’m ready to eat.”

“Someone’s impatient.” Georgia laughs.

“More like I’d take you back to my place before we even make it to dinner if I had a say.”

Her groan fills the cab as I shut the door and run around the front of the truck. Hopping in, I see Georgia waving to everyone standing on the front porch.

“They’re ridiculous.”

“It’s nice they care.”

“Did you see Luke before you left?”

“We had a conversation while he had cereal for dinner.”

“Wow.” Georgia spins in her seat to face me. “That’s impressive.”

“Right? Who knew he could do it?” I reach over and grab her hand and link our fingers together.

“He needed time to adjust,” Georgia says. “It’s natural for a kid when they’re not around anything familiar.”

I glance over at her before turning my eyes back to the road. “I can see why you’re so good with kids.”

“They’re not hard to understand,” she says. “They all want the same thing. We all do. Family. A safe home. People who love us.”

“It seems like you have that.”

“You think so?”
