Neither one of us slept much last night. I came so many times my nuts ache this morning.

Well, maybe around two or three am we finally passed out.

Spent and blissful.

Four came awfully fucking fast.

Knowing Clay was going to be here still made us stagger when we arrived. Imayhave dozed back off for a little while after she left.

I must be getting old. There was a time when I was younger I could stay up all night standing on my dick and jump out of bed raring to go.

Huh. Maybe? Can’t remember that ever really happening before.

There’s just something about Libby. I have this push to keep that flush of pink in her cheeks and make her come so hard she levitates.

Jesus. It’s giving me a chubby thinkingabout it.

“Heya, sexy.” She breezes into the office like she’s had a week of vacation, looking rested and full of energy.

Yep, she’s gonna kill me.

But damn if it doesn’t feel right when she loops her arms around my neck and nuzzles her soft lips against mine.

Screw paperwork.

I lean back, pulling her onto my lap, and let my mouth explore hers like it’s the first time. “I could get lost in you,” I whisper, pulling her tighter to my chest.

She writhes on my thighs, digging out her phone. “Only for the next, um, twenty minutes. Then I have to take Dad to the hospital.”

“You keep wiggling like that, it won’t take me very long at all.” I grin down at her.

Her laugh tells me she already knows better. But then her smile fades. “So, the bad part is, I can’t stay at your place while he’s gone. Devon might be pretty grown up for his age, but he’s still a kid.”

My stomach twists.

Two nights and I’m already hooked. Eh, who am I fooling?

I was netted and landed weeks ago, I just didn’t know it.

We both freeze when we hear the door handle turn, then she leaps off me in a whirlwind.

Just before Clay rounds the corner.

“Oh good, you’re both here.” He looks like he’s had less sleep than me, but for all the wrong reasons.

His palm runs over his face as Lib and I exchange a guilty glance.

Did he catch us?

Certainly isn’t acting like it.

“Blue, I was wondering if you’d mind keeping an eye around here while I’m gone?” He takes a deep inhale. “I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Shufflebottom’s place got hit by some assholes harassing their cows.” His shaggy graying head shakes. “Seems like no one around here can catch a break. Heard Mason had some trouble last winter?”

“Yea, but Ford caught ‘em. Thought that’d be the end of it.” I don’t know if I should mention the pictures that Wade found.

I still haven’t told Libby, but I probably should pretty soon.

If anything would happen to her, I’d—
