Great. Now can we sext?

I laugh again, my dick getting hard at just the thought of all the naughty shit Ava will no doubt come up with. Girl does not give two shits about propriety or playing it cool. She wants what she wants, and she’s not afraid to ask for it.

She’s a breath of fresh air, one I didn’t know I needed until I reach under the covers and slide my hand inside my briefs.

thought you’d never ask

And then, because I know she won’t be turned off or offended, I add:

now send me a pic of your tits

AVA BARTLETT

only if you send me one of your

I’m always fucking laughing with this woman. Tossing aside the blankets, I hold up my phone and snap a photo. I send it to her, pulse going haywire as I wonder vaguely if this is the third best night of my life. The first, of course, being the night Ella was born. The second was Austin.

because my girl always gets what she wants

AVA BARTLETT

I want you, cowboy

CHAPTER19

Ava

KNOCKIN’ BOOTS

Ringing the doorbell,I step back to admire the enormous limestone mansion.

It’s got to be at least six, even seven thousand square feet, with a slick metal roof and huge steel windows that glint in the morning light.

Sally told me Lucky River Ranch is an exceptionally beautiful property, but I was still unprepared for just how stunning it is. From the moment I drove through the main entrance—it’s different from the one I used to go to Sawyer’s house—I couldn’t stop staring.

The ranch is green, lush in a way I wasn’t expecting. It’s clear the dramatic landscape of canyons, cliffs, and springs has been lovingly cared for, and my pulse won’t stop skipping at the thought of Sawyer being part of such an incredible stewardship.

Makes sense that Sawyer would take excellent care of his family’s land. Look at the way the man cares for his family.

The way he cares forme. Even while we were sexting the other night, he made sure I came first. He turned me on, but I could tell he was careful not to make me uncomfortable. He constantly askedyou like that?Oris that too much?

Oh, cowboy,I’d wanted to text back,it’s never too much. In fact, with you, I’m discovering it’s never enough.

I blink, yanked from my daydream when a gorgeous blonde woman opens the door.

“Ava! Hi! I’m so glad you could make it. I’m Mollie Luck. Please, come in.”

“Your ranch is gorgeous,” I say as I step inside. “And this house! Wow.”

“Aw, thank you.” Mollie is dressed to the nines in a long blue dress and big earrings, the bracelets on her arms clacking as she crosses those arms over her chest. “Cash and I prefer his cabin. It’s much cozier. But the New House has actually come in handy as Bellamy Brooks’s temporary headquarters in Hartsville. Well, at least until our new studio down the road is done. I’m so thrilled Sally sent you our way.”

I grin. “Y’all make the prettiest boots on earth. I’m so excited to treat myself to a pair.”

Mollie clasps her hands underneath the slight swell of her pregnant belly. “I’m so excited you’re here. C’mon, I’ll show you our lineup.”
