LAURA

The words I just uttered—take whatever you want—feel reckless in the most wonderful way. I don't want to be a contradiction, especially when Cole makes me feel so warm, so safe. So damn good. Maybe it took meeting a cowboy like him to realize I was judging everyone wrong.

Judging him wrong.

Now I'm in his lap and he's looking down at me as if I’m the only woman in the world. "What are you thinking?" I ask him. I've just offered him anything he wants from me.

"I'm thinking, Laura, that I've wanted this moment. I've been dreaming of this since the day I first laid eyes on you. For one whole month I've been passing you every morning thinking, ‘Whoever ends up with her is a lucky bastard.’"

"I wish you would've said something," I tell him. "Let me know what you were thinking. I didn't have any clue."

"Eh," he smirks. "You were busy reading your romance novels. You didn't have eyes for me then. But now, well," he tucks a strand of loose hair behind my ear, "I like to think, Laura, you see me as I really am."

I swallow. The warmth in my body pulses through my veins as I feel a desire I've never experienced before.

"I'm so glad I told you about the auction yesterday," I whisper under the light of the Texas moon.

"And I'm glad Luke told me I best come prepared with cash."

I smile up at him. "I want you to make love to me," I tell him.

His eyes widen. "You sure about that?"

I nod. "I've waited my whole life to feel something like this. Something pure and real. Something free. I've always been taking care of my pa, and I wasn't sure I'd ever meet a man who'd want to take care of me."

"Laura, if we do this, it changes things. Do you understand?"

I nod. "You're saying we'd be something real?"

Cole shakes his head. "No, Laura, that's not what I'm saying at all. We’d be more than something real. I'm saying if I make love to you, I need you to understand that's it. I'll be a goner. I already want you, but if I see you naked under the full moon, me against you… Fuck, girl. I'm not going to take you walking away from me kindly. If you flip-flop again, it'll break my heart. If we do this, I want more than one night with you."

"What are you saying, Cole?"

"I'm saying I'm going to want forever." The intensity in his voice, the truth in his words surprises me.

"Cole, you're even better than I imagined. I knew a few hours ago that you were a good guy. A solid, trustworthy man, but now I know that you are an absolute alpha."

"Let me guess. That's how men are described in those romance novels?"

I nod. "Yes. They're full of heroes who know exactly what they want and they take it. They fight for their princess. Their happily ever after. And I know you're not going into battle for me.
