Chapter Fourteen
“So you guys are finally coming home?”
Skylar held the phone between her ear and shoulder as she pulled her car into a parking spot just outside the salon. Despite the ungodly early hour, the place was buzzing with activity. She’d kept the salon closed for the past few days as she worked out all the details of getting the windows replaced and the guys were installing her new glass today. Her excitement probably should have been about getting back to work but when she got a glimpse of the guys working right next door, she forgot all about mundane things like work.
Sweet Jesus, that many Bomar boys in one place should have been illegal. No, scratch that. It probably was illegal. No doubt some of them were breaking probation or at the very least the laws of attraction. There were at least five of them in various states of sweaty undress and as a woman, her eyes couldn’t be blamed for taking in the man meat on display.
They might be criminals. They might be dirty and backwoods. They were definitely crude and offensive. But they were also some of the best looking men to ever grace the face of the earth in her not at all biased opinion.
In the Bomar genetic lottery, they’d all cashed in. Cash! Ha! And he wasn’t even among them today.
Instead she watched as another set of infamous Bomar twins worked together to lift a large glass mirror. Royce and Bentley were Auto’s second set of twins and sported the same Greek God stature of their older cousins and brothers. Their oldest brother was there of course too, no doubt spouting orders since Lincoln’s handsome face was twisted into a murderous expression at the moment. Lincoln’s twin, Ford, was nowhere to be seen sadly but there was plenty of other eye candy. Remy was taking a break, his back propped against the wall and a cigarette dangling from his lips as he smirked and said something to Lincoln that earned him a finger and some choice four-letter words.
All in all they were a sight to behold but even still her eyes kept twitching around, looking for the one Bomar boy that made her insides turn to liquid. She didn’t see him but he had to be there. There was absolutely no way Colt would let his brother and cousins do all the work while he sat around.
A loud shout went up from somewhere nearby and her gaze tracked over until she found him. Colt had come through the still open frame of his shop and standing half in shadow and half in light he looked like a fallen angel. She let the goofy grin spread over her face at the thought he would no doubt call ridiculous.
His sand colored hair was sticking up in every direction as if he’d run his hands through it a dozen times. He had a smirk on his face, his dimples flashing and his blue eyes twinkling with laughter. A smile on that man was a beautiful thing but she couldn’t get distracted by it, not when her gaze traveled further south and she realized he was wearing only a white muscle shirt.
And oh, sweet heaven, it did its job. It clung to his bulging muscles, showing off his broad chest and highlighting the abs that she knew lurked below. The man was built like a freaking tank but it was all of that dark ink poking from beneath the edges of his shirt, twisting down and around his arms that made her stomach flutter.
For a long time now she’d fantasized about getting to run her tongue over all of those tattoos and last night, she’d finally gotten the chance to do just that. The memory of Colt laid out in her bed, letting her have her way with him, made her body tingle with awareness. He’d gripped her headboard so hard she thought he would break it in half and when she’d tongued his piercing he had broken and grabbed her, flipping their positions. The things he’d done to her after that… lord help her but she thought some of those things might still be illegal in the great state of Oklahoma.
“Skylar? Sky? Earth to Skylar?”
She giggled as she heard Jemma calling her name through the phone she’d completely forgotten she was holding, “Oops, sorry. Forgot you were there.”
“I said your name like twenty times. What are you doing?”
“Ogling my boyfriend.” She grinned.
Jemma barked out a laugh, “You know, I’m beginning to think Cash and I should stay gone an extra night or two. I’m not sure either of us is ready to deal with you and Colt in relationship mode.”
“Hey! I dealt with you being all blissed out over Cash when ya’ll got your shit together. It’s your turn.”
“I guess that’s true.”
“Damn right it is. Besides, think of all the fun we’re going to have doing compare and contrast with the twins.” She giggled and heard a very distinctive male groan on the other end of the line. “Oh, hey Cash, didn’t know you were on speaker.”
“Bullshit.” He snorted with laughter, “And don’t you dare start giving sex details until I’m well out of hearing range. I don’t want to have to bleach my brain.”
She giggled, “Like you don’t know exactly what Colt’s rockin’ under his clothes.”
“We are not having this conversation.” He groaned.
“Oh my God! Jem! Did you know Colt was serious about that piercing? It’s pierced. You know, for his and her pleasure.” She laughed even harder when she heard Cash start cursing on the other end of the phone, “Does your Bomar boy have one of those? If not, I’m gonna suggest a Christmas present. I know a guy that…”
“Stop! Stop! Stop!” Jemma squealed with laughter, “If you don’t stop talking Cash threatened to throw the phone out the window.”
“Oh fine!” She pretended to pout, “Fun killer.”
“Save the dirty deets until I get home and then we’ll pour some wine and have girl’s night.” Jemma snorted, “Yeah, okay, I’ll pour you some wine and me some milk according to my fiancé but still, girl’s night.”
“Definitely.”
“Like I was saying before you sidetracked me, we’ll be back home late tonight. I figure around midnight depending on how traffic goes. Since it’ll be late, we’ll probably just crash at Cash’s and I’ll come see you tomorrow morning and we can catch up.”
“Midnight isn’t that late old timer but since I plan to be busy with my very own Bomar boy, I’ll be sure we clear out of y’alls place for the night.” She teased as she watched Colt and Remy argue about something.
