Damion

Two days and nothing from Alex. I thought about sending her a text, letting her know I was sorry for my behavior. I knew better than to get mixed up with someone I worked with. I had never done it in the past.

“Are you sad?” Oliver asked from the backseat.

I looked in the mirror. “What? No. Why?”

“You look sad.”

I put on a smile. “I was just deep in thought. I’m not sad.”

I parked the car outside our home, unable to stop myself from looking for her truck. It wasn’t there. I knew it wouldn’t be, but I had to look anyway. Oliver saw what I was feeling. I was bummed. Not sad but bummed. I had ruined something that could have been really good. I had allowed myself to get caught up in a feeling. I had allowed passion to rule my actions. Passion and lust were dangerous emotions.

“Can I go see the horses?” Oliver asked.

“Let’s put your backpack away first,” I told him.

“Okay,” he said, bounding up the steps.

I followed behind him, leaving the door open for a little fresh air in the ho

    DamionI wanted him to remember me teaching him to drive the tractor and how to ride a horse. I wanted him to remember me for the dad that spent time with him. Not the dad that worked all the time. I didn’t want him to look back on his childhood and think about the great nannies he had or the awesome teachers at the daycare center.I was going to be selfish. I wanted all the memories.“Again!” he shouted when I slowly turned the tractor to take us back to the house.I laughed. “One more time and then I need to figure out what we’re having for dinner.”I took over steering, leading us out toward the winter wheat field. I talked, probably more than he cared to hear, telling him about the wheat and what would happen when it was time to harvest the wheat. I left out the dirty details about rain and how it could make or break our crops. He didn’t need to worry about any of that. Not yet.My butt was going numb. “Time to go back,” I told him.He didn’t object, which told me he was bored wit

    AlexThe tension between myself and Damion was easing. That first look had been intense. I had felt my cheeks burning and was unable to look directly at him. After a little internal pep talk, I had pulled myself together and looked him in the eye.“Should we have lasagna?” Damion asked.I looked up from the puzzle Oliver wanted me to help him with. “That’s kind of elaborate, isn’t it?”He grinned and pulled a frozen dish from the freezer. “If by elaborate you mean I have to turn on the oven, yes.”I laughed. “I think we’re having lasagna for dinner, Oliver.”Oliver looked over his shoulder. “And garlic bread,” he added.“Can’t have lasagna without garlic bread,” Damion said, reaching into the freezer and pulling out a box of sliced garlic bread.“Gee, I would hate for you to go through so much trouble for me,” I teased.“Only the best for you,” he said with a wink.The way he said it sent butterflies zooming around in my belly. Every time he looked at me or said something to me, my br

    Alex“We should probably see if your dad needs help,” I said, feeling like the room was closing in on me.I got up and walked back to the kitchen. Damion was just putting the lasagna on the opposite end of the table from where the puzzle was in progress. “There you guys are. I thought I was going to have to send out a search party.”“He wanted to show me his room,” I told him.He nodded. “I see.”Oliver sat down. “You can sit there.” He gestured to the chair across the table from him.“Thank you.”I took my seat, waiting for Damion to sit down as well. I watched as he dished up a portion of the lasagna for Oliver. I could watch the two of them all day. They clicked so well. I wanted to ask about girlfriends or other women in his life but didn’t dare. It was none of my business. I just couldn’t imagine that with all the women in New York, none of them had snared Damion. Finding a good man was hard. Finding one that was sexy, kind, and devoted to his kid was even harder. He checked all

    DamionI gave Oliver a little snack pack of cookies and a glass of milk. He was sitting on the couch, his favorite show on TV with his tablet in his hand. He was the kind of kid that could play his games and watch TV at the same time, although I doubted either had his full attention. He had always been that way, always looking for input. It explained his love for reading. His brain was starving for knowledge. He did all he could to feed it.“I’ll be right outside on the porch if you need me,” I told him. “You get one show and then I need you to get your jammies on.”He nodded, not taking his eyes off the TV. “Okay.”“No more snacks after that,” I lectured.His eyes were still glued to the TV. “Okay,” he answered again. I had a feeling he wasn’t listening to me.“Your horse is in your bed.”“O—” He looked up and frowned. “What?”I laughed, my test proving my suspicion. “One show. No more snacks. Jammies after the show.”That time, I knew he heard me. I walked away, leaving him to his d

    Damion“Yes. Work here. Full time. I’d make sure you were paid well, more than you would make fixing farms, but not like the other guy. You wouldn’t be working for me. You’d be working with me.”“Damion,” she said my name, dragging out the word.“Wait, don’t say no. Not yet.”“Damion, that isn’t what I do.”I nodded. “I know, but don’t you want a steady job? You live close by, right? Oliver loves you. I have so much more to learn from you. Will you please consider it?”Her gaze went back to the field. “I do like Oliver, and I would love to have a friendship with him, but I don’t need a job.”“What does that mean?”“It means I don’t need a fulltime job. That isn’t what I like to do. I like the experience of learning and seeing new things.”“How can farms be all that different? It’s the same shit on a different piece of land.”She offered a sardonic laugh. “That’s true, but it’s not for me.”The way she said it made it sound like a woman on a diet trying to talk herself out of a cookie.

    AlexI yawned, covering my mouth with the back of my hand as I followed the straight road that felt like it led to nowhere. My butt hurt. My neck had a horrible kink in it, and I was absolutely sick of driving. I had rolled into Laramie, Wyoming late last night after being on the road for over ten hours. I was exhausted but excited to check out the new farm.I loved a new challenge.I passed under a faded arch with a sign announcing I was on the Cobb farm. I looked left and right, driving slowly down the narrow dirt road. It looked a lot like Montana with the endless rows of wheat swaying in the wind. I realized after driving for several minutes I had yet to come upon the house. Was I still on the right road?Before I had time to pull over and turn around, I saw the house. Holy shit. The farm was massive. I wondered how many people Wayne had running the place. I saw a man on a tractor in the distance. We were both headed for the house. I parked my truck and got out, stretching my arms

    Alex“Nah, don’t be. I’ve had a good life. I’ve had true love. I lived hard and played hard.”I laughed. “Are you telling me you were a wild child?” I teased.“I was. I was going down a road that was going to lead me straight to hell, probably at a young age. It was Vera who turned me around. I met her and fell in love almost immediately. She wouldn’t have me. She wanted nothing to do with me—not until I cleaned up my act. She got me on the straight and narrow, and if I dared dip one little tippy-toe over that line, she whipped me right back into shape.”I burst into laughter. “I bet you kept her on her toes.”“I sure did, and she loved every minute of it,” he said with a laugh.“Have you thought about selling the place?” I asked, knowing it was probably a little insensitive, but it was practical.“I’ve thought about it, but I can’t do it. I think about my granddaddy working himself into an early grave and I can’t do it. It feels like a betrayal.”“What do you plan to do?”“I planned

    DamionI slid the handle on the toaster down, getting the frozen waffles cooking while I finished scrambling the eggs for Oliver’s breakfast. I was taking a shortcut with the frozen waffles, but I didn’t think he would care. It was still a fairly nutritious meal. I hadn’t slept well at all, and by the time I did fall asleep, it was early in the morning. I had overslept.I had spent the night thinking about Alex. I told myself to let it go, but it was like a bad craving. I wouldn’t be satisfied until I had one last taste, or in her case, one last anything. It wasn’t only the sex. I liked her—the woman. I liked her friendship. I liked her smile and I liked how much Oliver liked her. The last was the toughest part of the whole situation. He really liked her, and he wouldn’t get to see her again because I went and screwed things up.“Oliver, breakfast is ready,” I hollered, pulling myself out of the same long lecture I had been going over in my head for the last two days.“Coming,” came h

I fanned my face. “Wayne, that would be amazing.”“Yes, it would,” Damion chimed in. “We’ll have a house built for you on the farm.”“Damion!” I blurted out.“Oh no, I can’t ask you to do that,” Wayne said.“You didn’t ask. I offered. We would love to have you around. We’ll need a guest house eventually anyway.”I could see the emotion in Wayne’s eyes. “That’s a very kind offer. I’ll think on it. I don’t want to put anyone out.”“Wayne,” I said, reaching across the table and grabbing his hand. “It would be an honor to have you around.”He smiled. “You drive a hard bargain, missy,” he teased.“I certainly do.”“Montana is a great place to live,” Damion said. “I wish I would have realized it earlier. I wasted a lot of time. I don’t intend to do it again.”“Good, because I won’t let you get away from me quite so easily.”“I’m not going anywhere,” he said with a grin. “Montana is

    AlexThree months laterI carried the big bowl of homemade potato salad to the back patio and placed it on the table. Betty popped her head up from where she was curled up on her bed in the corner and out of the way. She would get her leftover treats after the dinner, even though I told Wayne he shouldn’t feed her people food. My favorite men in the world were sitting around the table, chatting and talking about the early fall. I smiled at each of them before going back into the kitchen of Wayne’s house to grab the tray of burger toppings.We had driven down to spend the weekend with him before school started and our schedule got a lot less flexible. Damion had offered to buy plane tickets, but I couldn’t do it. I actually liked the drive. We all got to hang out and just talk. There was no escape when you were locked in a car with someone.My life was good. Better than good. The final puzzle pieces of my life had slid into place. I felt settled. I didn’t feel the need to run. I hadn’t

    AlexI opened eyes I didn’t realize had been closed. I stared into his light blue gaze as he rose over me. My hands slid up his forearms and over his biceps, rubbing over the skin that was hot under my touch. He was just as affected as I was.His cock slid over my slick pussy before he carefully nudged forward, breaking through the folds and finding home. He pushed once, and our eyes locked as he joined his body with mine. I felt a tear slide down the side of my face as he pushed himself all the way inside my welcoming body.“Oh, Damion,” I breathed his name before my eyes slid closed and my body finally gave in to the need that had been holding me in a firm grip since his kisses started.“That’s it,” he coaxed, kissing the tip of my nose as my body arched and bucked under his. “That’s my girl. All mine. You’re mine.”I opened my eyes and found him staring at me from just a few inches away. He lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me until I could no longer think at all. I only felt. I

    AlexI didn’t think I had ever been carried. Not like that anyway. I felt like a precious gift with the way he was looking at me. His gentleness was so much different than our usual way. It was strange and sweet at the same time.I watched as he pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it to the floor before stepping out of the shorts he was wearing. I could truly look at the man’s body all day. His thick cock stood loud and proud, promising great things.He was perfect in my eyes. Tall and now very tanned after all our long days working together at the farm. His muscles were more defined than what they were when he first showed up in Geraldine. He had changed. I had changed.“Looking at something?” he asked with a soft smile.“Just admiring the view from down here,” I answered.He reached down, not getting on the bed as he undid the button on my shorts. He pulled them and my panties down my legs before reaching for my arms and pulling me to a sitting position. My shirt was lifted o

    DamionI smiled. “I don’t think the money will change me. At least, I hope it doesn’t. It hasn’t so far.”“What do you mean?”“I mean I had the money before I came back.”Her mouth dropped open. “What? You have it? I thought you said you had to wait six months.”I nodded. “I did. Or so I was told. When I went to Harvey to ask about the will and where the farm would go if I turned it down, he told me you and he had talked. He said you told him you were impressed with what I had done and that I was taking it seriously. I told him it didn’t matter and had him draw up the documents to give you the farm. I told him to give the money to charity or whatever. I was in New York when I got the documents in the mail saying the accounts had been transferred to my name. A rather large check was included.”She shook her head. “You turned down the money?”I nodded. “I did.”“But you have it now?”“I do. I’ll admit I bought the SUV with cash. It didn’t make sense to carry a loan and pay interest.”Sh

    DamionI heard the knock on the door and walked out of my bedroom to answer it. Sadie was standing on the other side, a soft smile on her face.“Hi,” she greeted.“Hi,” I answered, pulling the door open for her. “I was just folding the last bit of laundry.”“You’re folding your own laundry?” she asked.I groaned. “She told you.”“She did. Of course, she did. There’s a reason I offered to babysit Oliver without you asking. You two need to talk and I’m here to make sure that happens.”“I appreciate it. And yes, I do my own laundry. I also clean toilets and sweep the floors. I’m still the same man I’ve always been.”“I believe you. Now you need to convince her of that.”I shook my head. “You make it sound like it’s easy.”“I think I smoothed the way for you, but if you screw it up, that’s on you.”I laughed. “Good to know. Oliver is in his room. I’m going to toss a load in the washer and then I’ll head out.”“Take your time. My schedule is clear. This could take a while. Don’t give up to

    Alex“Sadie, this is real. I’m not kidding. He inherited a fortune. The only reason he is here is to get that fortune.”“Did he say he wanted to leave?”“No, but—”She held up a hand. “Exactly. He came back for you.”I slapped a hand on the table. “This is what I’m trying to explain to you. He didn’t come back for me. He came back for the money.”“Do you honestly think he would jerk his kid back and forth across the country for the money? I don’t know him half as well as you do, but even I know he lives and breathes for that boy. He isn’t going to do anything that would hurt Oliver. He knows Oliver likes it here. Oliver couldn’t stop talking about how much he missed you when they were gone. How much Damion missed you. It’s real, Alex. Very real. Before you push him away, ask yourself if you’re really being rational.”I leaned back in my seat. “You’re being harsh.”“I’m sorry, but I have to be. I can’t let you ruin this. He’s so good for you.

    AlexI glanced in the bathroom mirror as I washed my hands and face. I looked like hell. I wasn’t interested in showering. Not yet. I piled my hair on top of my head in a messy bun. Not cute messy but legit messy. I slid my slippered feet along the floor as I made my way to the kitchen. I needed coffee. A lot of coffee. I hadn’t slept much at all. Two nights of no sleep was wreaking havoc on me.There was a knock on my door just as I was starting my coffee. I slowly walked over to see who it was.“I see you,” Sadie called.“You can’t see through wood,” I told her.“Open the door.”“I’m not decent,” I retorted.“No shit. Open it anyway.”I sighed, unlocking the door and pulling it open, expecting the comments about the state of my appearance. “What are you doing here?” I asked.“Wow. This is a bad one. Have you showered this week?” She curled her lip. “I can flip you on your head and mop the floor with all that oil in your hair.”“That’s really not very nice,” I retorted.“You don’t lo

I didn’t want some woman faking it.”“Do you think Alex is like that?” he asked, his tone slightly accusing.“Not at all,” I answered. “She’s the real deal. I know she loves Oliver and he loves her.”He was quiet for a few seconds. “Does she know you already have the money?”I shrugged. “I’m not sure. It seemed like she thought I had it or was going to be getting it soon.”“You didn’t tell her you had it before you came back the second time?”I slowly shook my head. “No. It seemed pointless. Alex is stubborn. When she gets something in her head, there’s no dislodging it. I didn’t see any point in arguing. She wasn’t going to believe a word I said. She’s convinced I’ve been lying to her from day one. Anything I said was going to be rejected. I didn’t want to stick around and listen to her insult me or what we had. I didn’t want to get mad and say something I would regret. I left.”“You do that a lot,”
