know she loved his cock and his cum. She smiled at him, licking her
lips as she crawled up his torso to lie down on top of him.
Lying there in amazement, he wrapped his arms around her. She
lifted her head and leaned down to kiss him and then traced a finger
over his sideburn. “Was that all right?” she asked, a hint of
uncertainty showing for a second in her eyes.

He chuckled in surprise. “You want to know if it was ‘all right’? I
want to keep you forever.”
She smiled and then tucked her head under his chin. “Really?”
“Yes, darlin’.” He gently rolled her over onto her back, careful of
her cast and stitches. He braced on his elbow, lying alongside her, and
palmed her breast. “You were very generous to do that for me.”
“I’m glad you liked what I did. What with all that moaning and
groaning, I was worried that I wasn’t doing a good job.” She
snickered then changed her tune, whimpering as he toyed with her
tight peak, licking it.
His whiskers brushed against her sensitive flesh as he nibbled it,
causing her to yelp softly then moan and arch her back. He suckled
again then released it with a wet pop and smiled at her.
“You’d moan and groan if you were being tortured with extreme
pleasure, too. How is your back feeling? Are you comfortable?”
“As long as I don’t move too much, it feels fine. Why?” she asked
with mischief in her eyes.
“Because I think that one good turn deserves another, don’t you?”
She glanced at her clock. “Do we have time?”
“It’s eight thirty. We have time. I’ll make you breakfast while you
get ready. Don’t worry about it anymore because I have a hankering
for your luscious little pussy this morning.”
She moaned as he paid meticulous attention to her need.

Ash helped Juliana down from the truck at five minutes until ten
o’clock. Evelyn gave him what she probably thought was a sneaky
thumbs-up as Juliana passed her in the doorway. He obviously had
Evelyn wrapped around his finger, judging by the kiss she blew him
as he backed the big dually out of the parking space. Juliana was big
enough to admit that he could wrap her around whatever body parts

he wanted to as well. Her sated body hummed in testimony of that
fact.
“Well, Juliana, you look like you’re feeling much better than you
did last night. It’s amazing how a nice, long, restful night of sleep can
restore a person,” Evelyn said as they walked together to the back
hallway.
Juliana caught the theatric tone of voice and glanced down at her
friend, saw the barely-there hint of a smirk, and gasped. “Evelyn!”
“What? I’m merely commenting on the obvious, healthy glow in
your cheeks and the twinkle in your eye. Am I to assume he will be
picking you up at two o’clock?”
“On the dot, he says. I’m to be ready and waiting to go.”
Evelyn gleefully rubbed her hands together. “Oh, I do like him
very much, and he’s punctual, too. I’ll make sure you’re ready.”
Juliana tried to bristle. She really did. She did not like to be
ordered around or told what to do. But she was already itching for two
o’clock to get there. Ash knew how to push all her buttons, but she
was coming to understand that he also knew how to push them in a
good way, too.
Three times, the words had been on her lips, but she hadn’t
spoken them. She would appear flaky, telling him she loved him after
so short a period of time, especially on the heels of her breakup with
Lawrence. Ash obviously enjoyed their time together, but he’d given
no indicator verbally he felt the same way. He was so easygoing it
was hard to gauge how he felt about her, beyond the physical
attraction between them. But it took more than great sex to build a
strong relationship.
They still had the challenges of her job, and even his, to get past.
Ash had told her earlier that his responsibilities at the ranch would be
increasing as he took over the foreman position from Angel. She had
her own difficulties at work to be gotten through as she cut her hours
and divided the extra workload with Leah.

Juliana liked the tight ship that she ran, even if it meant she
worked some hellacious hours and took on more jobs than she should.
Being a perfectionist did not help her current predicament. It was
more of a hindrance.
After making her to-do list for the week, Juliana wrote a list for
Leah and Evelyn and placed them in their mailboxes, happy with the
stretch out of her comfort zone, delegating tasks to the two capable
