Lumberjack Weekend(Divine Creek Ranch 21)(70)

“I expected that to happen when I used it, too. Luckily, the woman I used it on had a great sense of humor. Thanks for watching over her, brother,” Josh said as he clapped Mark on the back as well.

“Brother?” she asked, gaping and then squinting at him. “Oh, yeah, I remember you now. You helped with the floors, right? Whoa, there’s only one of you, right? I see two.”

Mark removed his hat and nodded at her. “I gave you a hint when I told you our mom wanted us all to have biblical names.”

She giggled. “I’m a little slow on the uptake tonight, I guess. You were watching over me by flirting with me?” She turned to Josh and Lucas, and with brown eyes growing bigger, she said, “He’s a flirt.”

“He comes by it honestly,” Lucas said.

Her eyes seemed to cross a little as she looked from one to the other of them and said, “Wow, there really is a resemblance. Then she jumped up from her chair. “‘Girl Crush’! Oh my gosh, I love this song. Dance with me, dance with me!” she crowed as the opening verse of the Little Big Town song began to play.

“Come on, baby,” Lucas said as he took her by the hand and helped to extricate her from the tall bar chair. “You sure you can even stand up for a dance?”

“I’m good,” she said, purring as she snuggled up to him on the dance floor.

Their little bunny did a lot of things well, but she couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. Nevertheless, he smiled and kissed her cheeks and forehead as she sang the song to him. She got her feet tangled up a couple of times until he finally moved them to the center of the dance floor and swayed with her so she could enjoy herself.

“Ooh! ‘Games’! I love Luke Bryan. Can we dance some more?” she asked, rubbing the tip of her nose against his.

“Can I cut in?” Josh said as he joined them.

She blew a kiss at Lucas as he backed up, and just to hear her giggle, he caught her kiss in midair and stuffed it down the front of his jeans. She didn’t disappoint, and the joyful sound made the warm ache in his chest spread. She was easy to love.





Chapter Eighteen




Josh chuckled as Violet held out her arms to him from the passenger seat of his truck. He meant to lift her down to the concrete driveway, but she had other ideas as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist once they were clear of the vehicle. Lucas took her keys, grinning and shaking his head at her antics as he let them into her house.

“Mmm,” she murmured as she nuzzled his throat. She lapped at his earlobe and he got even harder, thanks to the way she was rubbing against his dick. “You smell yummy, Josh.”

“But it’s you we want to eat up, baby girl. I’m not sure you’re in any shape to fool around though.”

“Nonsense. I’m fine. I only had two margaritas. Let me go change into something sexy, okay?”

He squeezed her lush ass cheeks through her jeans. “Whatever you put on won’t be on you very long. Just warnin’ ya.”

She made a purring sound as he put her down and then wrapped her arms around his brother and laid a kiss on him while teasing him, rubbing her pussy against his cock, too.

“Tease,” Lucas growled, but the relaxed look on his face and his chuckle told Josh he didn’t mind.

“Are you gonna tie me up tonight?” she asked, looking between them.

Josh shook his head. “Not when your faculties are impaired, baby girl.”

She snapped her fingers and stuck out a pouty lip. “Shoot.”

“Bang,” Lucas quipped.

“But you will, right? You weren’t making emp—hic!—empty promises, right?”

Josh held back his laughter. Not only was she an affectionate drunk, tequila also gave her hiccups. “Yes. Soon.”

The merry twinkle in her eyes and the bright flush in her cheeks as she danced a little jig didn’t make him laugh. It made him fall a little harder for her. She turned and sashayed down the hall. He had the insane urge to bite her. She was so adorable. Her blonde ringlets bounced as she hurried into her bedroom, calling, “Give me five minutes!” and the door shut behind her.

They could hear her bustling around in her closet, and her bathroom, and the bedroom while they took a few minutes to make sure the house was secure. It got quiet after a bit, and Josh checked his watch.

“It’s been more than five minutes,” Lucas said, already moving toward the hall.

They found her curled up on the bed. Dressed in a pink lace nightie, it was obvious she’d been setting her alarm clock because it was lying beside her, the cord stretched across the bed. She’d brushed out her hair and lit a candle on the dresser, so he doubted she’d forgotten about them. She’d just conked out.
