She reached over and grabbed my hand. “It’s different with Colt because you two love each other. When it’s just sex for one or both of the people, the emotional connection isn’t there. You may be new at a lot of things, but one thing I never experienced was what it felt like to make love to someone. I never had that until I met Ty. In all of my endeavors, I have never trembled and been so terrified. Once I felt that, it changed everything I ever knew about sex. Now as far as tamin’ Ty, let’s just say that he and I share the same extracurricular interests.”
“When you got drunk the other day, you told me how good he was at ,” I had to take a breath, like I couldn’t say the words. “going down.”
She cocked an eyebrow and looked like she did something wrong. “He never did that to you?”
“Barely ever and it was not because he wanted to. He would only do it so I would return the favor, which I hated doing.”
Miranda started laughing. “I don’t know what to say to that. I’m not tryin’ to make you mad, but Ty seems to really enjoy doin’ it to me, of course, he and I have had a lot of firsts since we have been together. Sometimes our feelin’s are so intense.” She paused as if she were trying to wait for my reaction. “Do you really hate it, or are you just not sure how to do it good?”
She didn’t say it in a snotty way, she was genuinely trying to help me. “I do it now. I think my technique is getting good. Colt goes crazy over it, so it must not be too bad.”
“Men love it. As far as techniques go, well everyone is different. Listen, I have this silly book about sex in my room. Remind me before I go to give it to you. It has all kinds of details and peoples own stories in it. I learned a bunch from reading it.”
A book, like with pictures? I need visual help here!
“I need to see and read that book. I want to.” I had almost forgotten all about her pictures, ever since I threw them up against the wall earlier. “Speaking of books, I have something for you. Hang on and let me go get it.”
I got up and walked into the office. The box of photo books were sitting on the desk still. I grabbed the whole box and carried it into the living room. “Look what came in the mail today.”
“Oh my gosh, they are amazin’ Van.” She started opening them up and looking through them. I was pretty sure they didn’t have family photos. I made sure to take a bunch of the three of them.
“I had some bigger prints made too. Look at these two.” I reached in the box and handed her two larger wall pictures, done on a canvas.
She held them both and just smiled. “Ty is going to love these.”
I grabbed the last photo in the box. The picture was just of Ty and Bella. They were dancing and she was kissing him. It was such a random shot when I took it, but when I saw it later on, I knew I had to blow it up. I held it up so Miranda could see. “I got this one for Ty.”
She put her hand over her mouth. “It’s beautiful. She loves him so much. Van he will go nuts over this picture.”
“I know, that’s why I got a big one. I figured you guys could use some pictures for the house.”
“They are all perfect. Thank you so much!”
Miranda spent a good twenty minutes looking at every picture over and over. I could tell she was touched by each one. I thought about mine and Colt’s first real pictures together, and how after the first few, I started taking them all the time. Our house was filled with pictures of the two of us. It was like we had been together for ten years instead of two.
As mad as I was about the pictures coming in and seeing the barn in a bunch of them, it made my day to be able to see Miranda’s face when she looked at them for the first time.
Chapter 7
Colt
The drive back from town was a lot less eventful, as far as the bickering between Ty and Conner. Once we got the truck loaded, they seemed to both be motivated. Sitting back and looking at the two of them was entertaining. I think they only fought because they were so similar. The only difference was that Ty had grown up and become a husband and parent, while Conner was determined to hit every piece of ass in the state of Kentucky.
I think sometimes Conner hated Ty, because he knew how he was himself. I could honestly say that Ty was head over heels in love with Miranda and Bella. He was happy and maybe his happiness was what made Conner so upset. Sure, I knew deep down he wanted Miranda to be happy and Bella to have a father and a family, but it was hard to be able to accept Ty as that person.
When we got back to the ranch, the first thing Ty wanted to do was see Miranda. Apparently they had been texting and he said he had to make a pit stop. If he thought the two of them were going to get busy in the bathroom again, he had another thing coming. It wasn’t happening.
