“Aww,” she croons, with a teasing edge. “Look at you, admitting you have feelings. I have ten minutes to spare for my favorite grumpy cowboy.”
That damn smile I’ve been holding back finally cracks across my face. “I’m only sweet for you, baby. Everyone else can go straight to hell.”
She hums, light and mischievous. “Yeah, okay. You just missed the sound of my voice, admit it.”
“Smartass,” I growl, my voice dipping lower.
“Oh?” she purred.“Why don’t you shove your cock down my throat and shut me up then, cowboy?”
I nearly stumbled right there, a ragged sound ripping from my throat. “F-fuck, Catalina,” I grit out, my hand already palming my cock through my jeans, hard as a fucking rock already just from her sweet voice.
She knows exactly what she’s doing to me.
“What?” she says, all innocent and breathy. “I’m bored, sitting in your truck, wet, thinking about you.”
A tortured groan leaves me, one I can’t hold back. “You’re fucking killing me.”
She giggles, that soft, sinful little sound that shoots straight to my dick. Sunshine and sin all wrapped up in one perfect fucking woman.
“You’re the one who called me, cowboy.” She practically sings it.
I grit my teeth, my voice rougher than gravel. “Yeah, Ifucking called you. Now why don’t you—fuck, baby—why don’t you slide those pretty fingers down your panties for me. Rub that sweet pussy like the good fuckin’ girl you are.”
She moans quietly, the sound sparking like a match in my bloodstream. “You’d love that, wouldn’t you, baby?” she whispers. “I bet you’re stroking that big cock right now, wishing it was my mouth wrapped around you.”
Fuck I love when she calls me baby.
My hand tightens in my jeans, hips twitching at the image. “Catalina—” I start, voice strangled.
She just laughs, wicked and bright.
“Well, too bad,” she teases sweetly. “I gotta go. Talk to you laterrrrrr.”
The line clicks dead before I can bark out another word.

“Well, well, well,” Maverick drawls, swaggering in like he owns the place, a shit-eating grin plastered across his face. “If it isn’t the broody bastard himself. What’s got your thong in a twist today?”
I don’t even slow down. “Not now, Mav.”
He just laughs, tossing a bale of hay down. “Jesus, what’s crawled up your ass and died? Did one of your cows not cuddle you today?
I shoot him a glare.
He holds his hands up, backing away dramatically. “Easy there, baby. You look like you’re about two seconds away from either killing someone or jerking off. Maybe both.”
I scrub a hand down my face, trying to cool the red-hot fuse simmering under my skin. Fucking Catalina and Vartan.
“You ever wanna beat the shit outta someone for being a useless fuck?” I mutter.
Maverick snorts. “Buddy, I wanna beat half the populationfor being useless. He tilts his head, reading my face, the grin slipping a little.“This about her?”
I don’t answer.
Maverick sighs, pushing his ball cap backward on his messy blonde hair. “You’re so fucked, dude. You’re already halfway in love with that girl.”
