I snap my head in her direction and find her rushing at me. Next thing I know, she has her arms wrapped around my neck. Her body pressed into mine only causes every part of me to stiffen. I feel tense at this new feeling rushing through me.
“Thank you,” she whispers into my neck.
I relax under her touch, wrapping my arms around her waist delicately. Not wanting to release her from my hold, but I know I need to.
“You’re welcome,” I choke out, releasing our hold and turning to get in my truck and leave as fast as I can.
Her words against my bare neck confirmed every desire I’ve had.
The feel of her body against mine just changed everything.
Even though I barely know her, I’m definitely falling for the city girl.

Yes.
Me
First, how did you get my number? Second, are all of your texts always this short and abrupt?
Griffin
Nan. Yes.
Me
Great. See you at 9, angry cowboy.
“You’re kidding!” Kodi practically shrieks through the phone.
I laugh. “I wish I was. Angry Cowboy actually built me a whole deck. And I’m not going to lie, it’s areallynice one too.”
“What a turn of events.” She emphasizes each word. “And hold on, is heactuallya cowboy?”
“Truthfully…I don’t even know,” I say with a chuckle in my voice. “But he has this look about him that definitely screams cowboy. It’s like he showers and tosses some dirt on his jeans or something to finish the look.”
“I thought he owned the bar in town?”
“He does. I don’t think Bluestone Lakes has cattle and shit. Or whatever you call those creatures on ranches that they herd and stuff. But he rides horses anddefinitelylooks good in a cowboy hat.”
“I’m glad you're finally admitting it out loud.” Kodi beams, likely nodding her head in approval.
“And…I told him about Theodore.”
