Chapter

Thirteen

"Excuse me, I just need to grab the, uh, milk." Grinning wide, Cole reached around Teresa. Checking to make sure no one else was looking, he squeezed her ass before grabbing the milk carton off the kitchen counter.

She bit her bottom lip, blushing profusely.

How could he get through the day with such a tempting goddess on his ranch?

"I'll take some milk." Dawson, the youngest ranch hand, butted right between Cole and Teresa and grabbed the milk.

"Man, do you not see what you're doing?" Lavon hooted from his seat at the dining room table, where he could see straight into the kitchen. "You're breaking up the two lovebirds."

Teresa's blush deepened, and Cole instantly felt bad. He hadn't meant to embarrass her in front of his ranch hands; the whole dozen that were assembled for breakfast.

"Sorry," he whispered to her.

She shook her head. "It's okay," she whispered back. "I like it."

The front door banged shut, and Huck strode into the kitchen, his hair still damp from a shower.

"Well, look who it is." Michael reached across the table to help himself to more coffee. "Your girlfriend kick you out?"

"Very funny." Huck shook his head. "Did you save me any coffee?"

"A little."

The guys were always joking when it came to Huck's new girlfriend. Cole suspected a few of them were jealous, while the others were just showing their support in the only way they knew how-by talking shit.

Either way, Huck didn't seem to mind. He was on Cloud Nine when it came to Maria. And Cole didn't care that his foreman spent more nights at her place than he did at Vasko Ranch. No matter where he slept, Huck was always at work before dawn.

Cole was happy for him. Huck had been through some real shit, and he'd come to Sweet Pines for a fresh start. It made Cole warm in his chest to see his old rodeo friend finally happy and at peace.

Huck nodded at Teresa and Cole. "Good morning."

"Morning." Cole leaned against the counter and lifted his mug in greeting.

Huck's gaze lingered on them a moment longer, but then he went to the table and helped himself to breakfast.

Aware that this might be the last moment they could steal from the busy day, Cole turned back to Teresa.

"Last night was perfect." He kept his voice low, even though the guys probably couldn't hear him over the cacophony they were making in the dining room.

"I know." She splayed her fingers across his chest. "I didn’t want it to end."

It doesn't have to.

The words were on the tip of his tongue. She could stay at his ranch. With Ricky gone, Sweet Pines was safe for her again.

He didn't want to beg, but he would if he needed to. If Teresa left, the joy she'd brought into his life would go as well.

That was a conversation for another time, though. He'd get to it soon enough.

"I should get started on the dishes." She rolled up her sleeves. "If I don't now, I won't be able to catch up.
