Without You (Love Wanted in Texas #1) - Page 10/125

I glanced back over and saw Luke talking to Libby. I turned back to distract Maegan, but I was too late.

“Oh, hell no. Libby is not moving in on my man,” Meg said.

She was about to take off, but then Grace pushed her.

“Stop it, Meg. You know how much Libby likes Luke. Why are you going after him so hard? If you want to have sex with someone, plenty of guys are waiting in line here in Mason or in Fredericksburg.”

Maegan’s mouth dropped open. “Excuse me?”

Oh shit.

Grace said, “Tell me you aren’t after Luke just for sex.”

“Go to hell, Grace.”

Maegan turned and started walking off, but then Grace grabbed her arm.

“Meg, I’m serious. All you ever talk about is wrapping your legs around him and how great he probably is in bed. Do you seriously think Luke is interested in screwing you?”

Maegan pushed Grace’s hand off her arm and smirked. “You seriously think Michael is interested in screwing you?”

“Stop it. Now,” I said. “Just stop this. Meg, Libby is just asking them if they want some tea. Stop being bitches to each other and make up. We have a party to get ready for.”

Grace glared at Maegan.

Meg looked at Libby and Luke and then turned back to Grace. “Fine. Just so you know, Grace, I like Luke and not just because I want to sleep with him.” She turned and started back toward the ranch Jeep.

I let out a sigh and looked at Grace. “Why did you say that?”

She shook her head and walked closer to me. “Alex, you know as well as I do that Meg only wants to sleep with Luke because she knows Libby likes him. Meg has been jealous of their friendship for years.”

I knew she was right, but I didn’t want to be pulled into this argument that had been going on for the last few years.

I let out a sigh and said, “I don’t think Luke is going to sleep with or even go out with either one of them, so let’s just drop it.”

I turned and started making my way toward Will. He was covered in sweat, and my body ached for his touch. The closer I got, the more turned-on I got. I bit down on my lower lip, and I was pretty sure I let out a moan.

I looked over my shoulder to see Grace hadn’t followed me. She pulled out her cell phone and started texting someone. I glanced back to see Will smiling at me.

When I walked up to him, he grabbed me and pulled me in for a kiss. I didn’t even care that my brother and cousin were standing there. I wrapped my arms around Will, and as he picked me up, I wrapped my legs around him.

“Motherfucker, put my sister down now,” Colt said.

I pulled my lips from Will’s. I turned to Colt and smiled.

“Seriously, Alex, get the hell off of him.”

The last thing I wanted to do was piss off my brother. He’d go running back to our father and tell him. I looked back at Will and pouted as he slowly let me down.

He put his lips to my ear and whispered, “I can’t wait any longer. Tonight, baby.”

Holy crap. I was sure my heart had stopped beating.

I had no idea what he’d meant by that, but I was sure hoping that he’d meant tonight would be the night he made me his.

“You going to the party tonight, Lib?”

I looked over at Luke, who was trying to act like he didn’t really care what Libby’s answer would be.

She shrugged her shoulders. “Not sure. Jason Stone asked me to meet him there.”

Luke had been getting a drink of tea when he choked on it. “What? Jason Stone asked you out, and you said yes?”

I glanced at Will. He was smirking and nodding his head.

He grabbed my hand and said, “Come on, we’re finally done. I need to get home and take a cold shower. It’s hot as hell out here.”

Colt was already walking ahead of all of us as he texted on his phone, and Will and I began following him.

“I didn’t say he asked me out.” Libby started walking next to me.

Oh, she is good. I tried to hide my smile, but all I could think about was how Maegan had no idea what she was up against.

“Um…yeah, ya did. You just said that Jason Stone asked you to meet him there.”

I watched as Luke walked next to Libby while he frantically pulled his T-shirt back over his head.

Libby shrugged her shoulders. “So? That’s not a date, Luke. What do you care if it is a date anyway? I heard you making plans to meet up with Hope Kirkland.”

Luke started laughing. “Hope? Please.” He rolled his eyes, and then he began walking backward as he looked at all of us. “Hey, I have an idea.”

Legal Considerations

While the idea of free books is appealing, it's essential to ensure you're downloading or reading novels legally.

By reading these novels, you’re supporting up-and-coming authors and getting in on the ground floor of potentially the next big literary sensation.

Community and Interaction

Reading novels online often comes with the added benefit of community interaction.
