Page 31 of A Cowboy Takes A Chance

Jaxon and Willa both groaned.

“Apparently, your wife thinks you’re as full of it as I do.”

Devin put his hand over his heart. “I’m hurt that two of my favorite people think I’m full of it.”

“We love you too, Devin,” Willa said as she kissed him.

“Do you two need any help? I’m heading home if not.”

“Go home. We’re almost done. Just need to clear the tables off.” Devin looked at him. “Yeah, go home, big brother. I’m sure you want to head to bed.”

Jaxon narrowed his eyes. “I’m tired.”

“Uh huh. Go home.” Devin grinned along with Willa.

“If your beautiful wife wasn’t here, I’d say something.”

Willa laughed. “Oh, like I’ve never heard you two say that to each other. By word or finger.”

Jaxon grinned and winked at her. “Welcome to the family, Willa.”

After giving them a wave, he headed to his house and hoped Presley was there already. As he walked up to the porch, he heard Jinks barking from inside. Jaxon opened the door and entered the house. Jinks sat and put his paw up. Jaxon shook it, then glanced around. She must not be here yet. Damn. He was hoping she’d made it before he did. He liked the idea of coming home and finding her here, and he hated that he liked it. Damn it! This was just wrong. Maybe he should just tell her to go when she did arrive.Thinking with your dick does nothing but get you into trouble.

Walking down the hallway toward his bedroom, he pulled his T-shirt off over his head, entered the room, and came to a stop when he heard water running in the bathroom. Slowly, he pushed the door open and hissed in a breath when he saw her standing beside the Jacuzzi in nothing but her blue lace panties. She turned toward him and smiled.

“I, uh…” He cleared his throat. “I didn’t think you were here yet.”

“I practically ran here,” she said, laughing.

Jaxon grinned as he stepped into the room. “Do you plan on sharing that tub?”

She scrunched up her nose as she stared at him. “Only if it’s with you.”

“It had better be, sweetheart.” He leaned down and kissed her then straightened up to unsnap his jeans then he sat on the closed toilet to toe off his boots.

“I think those boots are so sexy.”

He raised his eyebrow. “They’re just boots, darlin’.”

“Sexycowboy boots. I love the distressed ones. Although I do like the ones you wear to work too.”

“Do you have a fixation with cowboys?” He stood to push his jeans and boxer briefs off.

“Maybe. It is one reason I wanted to come here.”

“One reason? What are the others?”

“Denise told me it was fun, and I could just take the time to relax and think about the job offer.”

“Have you thought about it?”

“Not really.” She stripped her panties off and stepped into the tub.

Jaxon walked to the tub, then sunk down into the water behind her, and groaned when Presley hit the button to turn the jets on. Pulling her back against his chest, she rested her head in the crook of his neck.

“I could sit here with you all night,” Jaxon whispered in her ear, then kissed her neck and at the same time, he could feel the anger washing over him that she had this hold over him. She wasn’t the only who may have a broken heart when she left.

“I’d like that too.” Pushing away from him, she turned around to face him. “Although, we would have to drain out the chilly water and put hot water in again. So, what would we do in the meantime?”
