Holding You (Love Wanted in Texas #3) - Page 74/108

Laughing he said, “It gets me through college.”

Grinning, I said, “Thanks so much, Grayson.”

His smile faded slightly as he nodded his head. “Sure. It was fun, Lauren. Enjoy the rest of your night.”

“I will! Thank you again and sorry for getting all the girls worked up. Maybe you’ll end up getting lucky tonight!” I said with a chuckle. Grayson’s eyes turned dark as he shook his head.

“I’m afraid the only girl I have my sights on is already taken.”

Giving him a wink, I said my good-byes and made my way back over to the girls as I held up the napkin with Grayson’s number on it. Grace grabbed it out of my hand as she looked over my shoulder back at Grayson. “Fuck, Lauren! You got the guy to strip on the bar.”

Maegan threw her head back. “I declare Lauren Reynolds the biggest dick-tease of the night and the clear winner of this bet!”

Alex, Libby, Taylor, Grace, and Maegan all busted out in cheer. Laughing, I shook my head. “Dick-tease? Please! He’s a stripper, so that was nothing for him.”

Grace pulled me closer to her and said, “Lauren, you have no idea how much that guy wanted you. I could see it in his eyes from over here.”

Laughing, I pushed Grace away. We all started dancing as I took a chance to look back over my shoulder only to see Grayson staring at me as two girls talked to him. Raising his hand to me, I lifted my hand in return and gave him a slight smile.

Yeah, he may have been good looking and had a nice body, but he didn’t even come close to Colt.

Colt.

Turning away, I smiled as I pictured Colt hauling hay out of the barn with his T-shirt off and sweat covering his body. That familiar burning low in my stomach began to build as I closed my eyes. I could practically feel Colt’s hot breath on my neck.

Turning to everyone, I shouted. “I’m ready to head on back to the hotel room.”

Everyone agreed to call it a night as we made our way back to our table. Taking the napkin with Grayson’s name on it, I tossed it down onto the table. Pulling my cell phone out of my back pocket, I sent Colt a text message.

Me: I miss you and I love you.

Colt: I miss you and I love you more. See you in a few days!

Me: I can’t wait!

My heart felt as if it would burst within my chest. Nothing or no one would ever come between us.

On the way back to our hotel, I made plans to talk the girls into leaving early. I wanted Colt. The sooner. The better.

SITTING ON MY porch, I jumped up when I saw her car. Yesterday Lauren had sent me a text saying the girls were headed back early. I had been beyond thrilled when I got it. Luke and Will were with me and they had gotten the same message from Libby and Alex. I could see the relief wash over their faces and I wanted to tease them, but I felt the exact same way.

I needed Lauren. Those few days with her gone felt as if a part of me was missing. I couldn’t wait to hold her in my arms.

Pulling her car up and parking, Lauren jumped out and made her way over to me. Her blonde hair was blowing in the wind, and the second I smelled her perfume, I let out a moan. The moment I hit the last step, Lauren ran to me. She jumped right into my arms as I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around me. Her lips pressed against mine as I felt her tongue slide along my bottom lip.

“Colt,” she whispered.

Holding her closer to me, I whispered against her lips. “Fuck, I’ve missed you, Lauren.”

Our kiss quickly turned into something deeper. Frantic almost. “I need you to fuck me, Colt. Hard and fast. Now.”

Swallowing hard, I pulled back and looked at her. “Jesus,” I spoke barely above a whisper. “Okay,” was all I could say.

Lauren giggled as she looked into my eyes. Her eyes were such a beautiful blue as they sparkled in the sunlight.

“Where?” she asked.

Turning, I headed back up the stairs. “My parents are gone.” Opening the front door, I kicked it shut with my foot as I smashed my lips to Lauren’s and started up to my room.

“What if your parents come back?” Lauren asked as she pulled her lips from mine. My dick was painfully hard, and at this point I didn’t care if the damn Pope walked in on us.

“They won’t; they went to Austin for the night. We’re alone.”

Lauren wiggled her eyebrows as I pushed the door to my bedroom open and kicked it shut. Slamming Lauren against the door, I pushed my hand up under her T-shirt and pulled her bra down, exposing her nipple to me. Dropping her head back, Lauren hissed between her teeth. I pulled and twisted her nipple as I kissed her again. I’d never been so rough with Lauren before, but I could tell she needed it as much as I did.
