Story: Their Blue-Collar Girl (The American Soldier Collection 4)
Charlie hugged her then grabbed her face between his hands and stared down into her eyes.
“Going slow is going to be torture, woman. Pure fucking torture.” He covered her mouth before she could respond and kissed her.
When he released her, it was to Trevor who kissed her with just as much passion as his hands explored under her dress and then to her breasts.
“You feel real nice, sugar. All the right curves in all the right places,” he whispered flirtatiously then allowed Dante to take his place.
Dante kissed her then lifted her up into his arms and carried her all the way to the truck.
She held on to his shoulders and nuzzled her face against his neck, absorbing his cologne. She wondered, too, how she was going to make this go slow when all her body wanted right now was fast, fast, fast.
Chapter 11
The guys were all working on the house this morning, placing the Sheetrock against the walls in the area that would be the bedroom. Lou was talking to Charlie about finishing off the rest of the barn.
“I was thinking about turning the whole place into a small house for Lori. Maybe we can take this whole area here and create a large living space, then possibly a living room area over here and a fireplace over there, then a big kitchen. She loves to cook and bake when she has the time. What do you think, Charlie?” Lou asked. “Can we do it, the plumbing and electrical work and all? I’ll pay you guys for your time, too.”
Charlie was sure they could do it. “Yeah, it would take some time but I think it would work.”
“Great, she’ll love it. You know, Charlie, she’s sacrificed a lot for her family. This is the least I could do considering she won’t accept any financial help from her mother and I. I want it to be perfect.” Charlie went back to working on the bedroom while Freddie and Jasper continued to work on the plumbing and electrical work.
“How was the date last night?” Matt asked Charlie, Dante, and Trevor as they worked.
“Went good, I think she had a good time,” Charlie said.
“I think it went great, too,” Trevor added.
“So tell me what happened? Did conversation flow comfortably? Did you take her to a nice place?” Matt was truly interested as Trevor told him a little about the date.
“I’m glad it went well, guys.”
“To be honest with you, the more I get to know her the more she surprises me. I was so wrong about her. She’s special, you know what I mean?” Dante asked as he looked at Matt.
“I know exactly what you mean. That’s how I see Janie. I love her more than anything and I can’t wait until we’re married.”
Charlie smiled at Matt knowing that Janie was a great woman and perfect for Matt.

Lori headed out of the pharmacy in town and nearly knocked into Dr. Andrew Henley.
“Hey, Doc, how are you?” she asked him as they moved to the side of the walkway.
“I’m doing good, how are you, and how’s your wrist?” She looked really cheerful today and he was glad.
“It’s fine, no complaints.”
“How did your date go with my brothers yesterday?”
She blushed a little at his bluntness then answered. “Very nice, I suppose a lot of people know we went out?”
“Hearts are breaking all around town.”
“Well, your brothers are very attractive and have a lot to offer any woman.”
“I meant over you.”
“That’s nice of you, Doc.”
