“Lout did?” I asked, surprised. “The badass man I met with Willow today braids hair?”
“Yeah,” Rowdy laughed. “His little sisters were about Lexi’s age when I met him and Marcus. They took care of them like those girls were their own because his parents sucked.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. His three little sisters helped me out a lot with Lexi, too. They were great babysitters when I needed one. Lexi calls them her aunties. Jaz moved back to town last fall, but the other two are still in college down in Austin. I sent them a text earlier and they’re excited to have us visit. They want to take the girls running around as much as they can and I thought that might give us some time alone to explore Austin. Maybe have a dinner date, catch some live music.”
“You and your friends are nothing like any men I’ve ever met.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“That’s a great thing. And I’d love to meet Lexi’s aunties.”
“Good. They’re awesome kids. Well, they’re really not that much younger than me, but I still consider them kids.”
“You’re younger than me, you know.”
“Does that bother you? It’s just a few years,” Rowdy shrugged. “Apparently I’ve always had a thing for older women.”
“Oh, my God,” I gasped through my laughter. “That was in horrible taste.”
“You sound so rich when you talk like that. It’s hot.” Rowdy wiggled his eyebrows like a goofball. “Maybe someday we can play rich older woman and pool guy.”
“Would you clean the pool in a speedo?”
“Baby,” Rowdy growled as he pinned me up against the front of the refrigerator. “I do my best work naked.”
Within seconds, his mouth was on mine and I completely forgot about the image of him in a speedo and was solely focused on what his thigh was doing as he pushed it up between my legs. My entire weight was straddling him, my feet barely touching the ground. His body crushed mine as he deepened the kiss even further.
“I was watching you when you helped brush down the horses and every time you moved your arm, that ass shimmied just a little bit under your jeans and I wanted to take a bite out of it.” Rowdy growled in my ear just before he bit me on the neck.
“Yes,” I whispered as my head fell back and bumped the door of the fridge behind me. “Do that.”
“I can’t wait to have you naked underneath me, Sierra. It’s all I’ve been thinking about since I crawled out of bed with you this morning.”
“Me, too,” I admitted. “I want to put my mouth on you. I want to hold your ass as you’re pumping into me. I can’t wait to…”
“Mom?” Lexi called out from the living room and Rowdy groaned as he pulled away from me.
“Yeah?” I called out, giggling when my voice cracked.
“You okay?” Lexi asked as she came around the corner. “Your voice sounds funny. Are you getting sick?”
“I’m fine,” I cleared my throat. “Just fine.”
“Rowdy, will you braid my hair, too? Leia said you can do two french braids just like you do hers.”
“Sure, sweetie.” Rowdy had to clear his throat, too, and when I glanced at him, he was standing up against the bar, probably to hide his erection. I laughed as I moved up beside him and bumped him with my hip. “Get settled on the floor in front of my recliner and I’ll be in there in just a minute.”
“You okay there, cowboy?” I asked him.
“Two words,” he muttered. “Blue. Balls.”
I put my hand over my mouth to hold in my laugh.
“Dad!” Leia called from the living room. “We’re ready!”
Rowdy took a deep breath and slowly exhaled as he pulled himself together.
“Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on the object’s mass and the amount of force applied to the object… ,” I heard Rowdy mutter as he walked past me.
I tried not to laugh as I realized he was quoting science facts to help clear his mind and calm down his body. I didn’t have any of that useless knowledge in my head, so my only recourse was to lean over and rest my head on the cool counter until my libido took a break. I squirmed a little bit, because my tight jeans were making it difficult to concentrate on anything but my aching pussy and heard a groan from somewhere to my right.
Rowdy was standing in the doorway that connected the living room and dining room and the look on his face was pure heat. Those chocolate brown eyes were almost black with intensity as he stared over at me.
“Tonight,” he whispered gruffly before he turned around and walked away. I couldn’t help but shiver at the excitement that one word caused.

“The girls are both asleep on the living room floor,” I told Sierra as I walked into the bathroom. She made a funny noise and then dropped down under the water so I couldn’t get a view of her nakedness, and I wanted to cry. “I was hoping to get a glimpse of you all naked and wet.”
Sierra smiled shyly and slowly sat up in the tub and I watched the bubbles run in rivulets from her chin down to her breasts. The nipples that I was dying to put my mouth on were right there out of sight, just under the water, and it was going to kill me if I didn’t get to at least see them soon.
“You think there’s enough room in there for me to join you?” I asked her, knowing there was, but wanting to make it her decision.
“There is,” Sierra told me with a nod. “It’s a huge tub.”
“I remodeled this bathroom when Leia was little and her favorite thing in the world at the time was bubble baths. I spent the extra money for the larger tub and that girl cried every time she had
