Skirt Steak: Grade-A Beefcakes Series - Book 5 Read online

  “No. First time. In fact, I haven’t been out west at all. Philadelphia is a long way from here.” She looked out at the mountains in the distance. “It really is Big Sky country.”

  The Bozeman airport was settled in a valley, the Bridger Mountains just to the north, other small ranges were farther off, but offered stunning views, especially for someone who’d never seen anything quite like it before.

  Riley had the tailgate of his truck down and was loading her suitcases in as we walked up. I opened the passenger door for her.

  “I’ve been to Pennsylvania. Lots of trees,” I commented.

  “Yes, lots of trees.” She looked at the seat, then me. Laughed. “How do I get up there?”

  For me, the cab of Riley’s truck was just right. I just had to put a foot on the running board and I was in. But for Kady, in a pretty dress and heels and tiny, the double cab was a long way up. Especially with the lift Riley’d had installed. I put my hands on her waist—so fucking tiny the tips of my fingers touched at her spine—and lifted her right up and into the seat. She practically weighed nothing, but she was warm and soft through her thin dress.

  Her gasp of surprise had her breasts rising and the soft swells of them over the V-neckline of her dress caught my attention. Slowly, I looked up into her face and realized I’d been caught. Between the rosy hue of her cheeks and the way her eyes darkened, she didn’t seem to mind.

  My gaze dropped to her lips which were slightly parted, as if she were breathing through her mouth. Panting. All I had to do was lean in a few inches and we’d be kissing. I wanted it more than my next breath. She wanted it. She wasn’t moving, wasn’t looking away from me. But when Riley opened the driver’s door and climbed in, the spell was broken. Again.

  Dammit. He wasn’t supposed to be a cock blocker.

  Shaken from my thoughts of how she’d taste, I grabbed hold of the seatbelt, stretched it across her and clicked it into place.

  I stepped back, closed the door.

  While Riley’s truck was huge, having a full second row with enough room for a team of lumberjacks, or an ex-military security guy the size of a Sherman tank, I’d always refused to sit there. Until now. Now, I wanted to be able to look at Kady as we rode to the ranch as much as I wanted. I could study her profile, see the expressions on her face, the way her breasts swayed over every dip or rut in the road.

  “Where are we headed?” she asked as Riley drove out of the lot and onto the highway headed west.

  “Steele Ranch. Your new home.”

  Not for long. If we had our way, she’d be in our beds, in our house instead. She might have inherited a sizable chunk of Montana history, but she was still ours.
