Rope My Heart A cowboy second chance romance

Chapter 33

Jax

Oh my, the sight of her in that pretty white dress with a cream cardigan over her shoulders is a sight to behold. Lily Mae takes my breath away and those wedge shoes with ties around her ankles are giving me all sorts of ideas. Like how good they would feel around my neck whilst I am deep thrusting her. Boy, I need to rein it in some before I end up with an obvious bulge in my black Levis.

"So, I thought we could tackle the far east side for the fencing tomorrow," her daddy says to me with a beer in his hand as he stands behind the grill flipping the burgers. Shit, how can I have such wild and dirty thoughts about my bosses daughter when he is standing right next to me? Bad, right?

"Sure, absolutely. We need some extra hands for the cattle coming in." He nods at my statement.

"On it, Son. I've got Wes and Hendricks helping. We've got some good hands on the ranch who will help out too." He takes a drink of his beer, whilst my mouth is dry from keeping an eye on the beautiful Lily Mae. She's tied her hair into a high pony tail, it swishes as she walks, and I have noticed that she has curled the bottom. Her waist is cinched in, I can span my hands around that there tiny waist of hers and am itching to do so.

"Are you done looking at my daughter with those hungry eyes, Son?" Huh?

"I'm not looking at her with hungry eyes, Mr Thompson, I'm just. She is my line of sight." The skin crinkles around his eyes.

"Whatever you say, Jax but I know that look when I see it." His smile is evident on his tan, weathered face.

"There ain't no look, Sir you are mistaken."

"We wouldn't mind, Mrs Thompson and I if you and Lily Mae got back together again. It'd be mighty fine." What can I say to that?

"Good to know, but Lily Mae is only here for four weeks and she doesn't want to do long distance. We're just friends is all."

"Then why is she blushing to her damn roots with you lookin' at her?" Is she? Hell yes, her cheeks are a cute rose color and she is trying her best not to stare at me. Do I have mustard on my face or something?

"Go on, I don't need your help. Go chat my daughter up. I know you're itching to." Her daddy gives me a shoulder nudge in Lily Mae's direction who is talking to her bestie.

As casually as I can, I saunter up to her and tip my hat. "You look breathtaking, Lily Mae."

Her smile takes up her entire face, she is radiant those eyes sparkle like diamonds. "Thanks, Jax. You look pretty damn good for a cowboy." I chuckle.

"I'll leave you two love birds to it," Harley says and gives Lily Mae a wink.

"You don't have to go, Harley. We have to catch up and I've got some ideas for you for the riding school with Wes." That gets a frown from her bestie.

"I already told you, I do not want to work with Wes on the riding school. He does my head in and I can't be in the same room as him let alone spend several hours a day with him. We'll only kill each other. Lily Mae please find someone else to do it. I'll do the afternoon shift if that helps."

"No can do, bestie. Wes is covering the afternoon on his own with Fiona the new trainee."

"Fine, but you owe me Lily Mae. Big time." I watch their interaction, you can see how much these two women love each other. Lily Mae gives Harley a hug and thanks her. We both watch as Harley makes her way over to the tressle table where all the salads are and helps herself to a plate. Wes follows behind her and whispers something into her ear. Harley turns and slaps him on the face.

"My, I wonder what he said to her?" I say to Lily Mae chuckling.

"I have no idea but knowing my brother, probably not something very smart."

"Do you honestly think it's such a good idea to put those two together, Sunset? I mean there could be a war on the ranch between them." Lily Mae giggles, it sounds like music to my ears. I love how she sounds so young but with a throatiness to it.

"It's all part of my grand plan, Jax." She gives me a wink, it gives a signal straigh to my dick which is already hardening in my tight Levis. I want to adjust myself but with all the ranch folk standing around and her daddy keeping an eye on us, not a good idea to put my hand down the front of my jeans to rummage around.

"Grand plan? Hell, Lils what are you up to now?"

"Well, I think they both like each other. I'm thinking throw them together and eventually things will pan out for them. They will realize that they actually like each other."

I give her a look as if she has stepped off an alien space ship. "Don't you get it, Jax. Like in my romance novels, enemies to lovers and all of that."

"Only, Lily Mae this is not a romance novel an those two will never love each other."

"Wait and see, Jax McCoy. I'm rarely wrong." She sounds so confident but it's not her words that are distracting me. It's the way her full lips move with every word that she says. The fluttering of her eyelashes as they touch her cheeks. Damn this girl has some long eyelashes, and they're all natural. I want to take her ponytail and fist it in my hand to bring her mouth crashing into mine. I want to taste her, inhale her scent and fill up my senses with Lily Mae Thompson.

"You okay, you look a bit dreamy?" Her voice brings me back to the now.

"Yeah, just thinking of something. So you ready to be swept off your feet tomorrow morning, Lils?"

"Oh, absolutely. In fact," she steps closer to me. My heart rate picks up, is it getting hotter out here? Am I way too close to the flames of the pit? "I'm very much looking forward to it Jax." She stands on her tiptoes and places the softest of kisses to my lips taking me completely off guard.

I correct myself pretty darn quickly and slip a hand around her waist settling on her lower back. Leaning my head down to her ear, I whisper, "good, because you are going to fall in love with me all over again, Lily Mae. I ain't lettin' you go a second time."

I can feel her heart beating so fast I wonder if I need to call a paramedic. Her lips are parted, her pupils are dilated. I know that Lily Mae is feeling our connection as much as I am.

"Is that so, Jax? We will see, but I'm still going back..."

"To the city. I know, I know. Let's not talk about that swear word shall we. It gives me hives," I say as she throws her head back and laughs. I notice the soft skin on her neck, fuck I feel like a vampire wanting to sink my teeth right into it and suck on it. My hardness is now out of control, people are going to notice and no doubt my right hand and my cock will have another lonely date night tonight.
