Did I like the city life?

Nope.

I’d been there and done that in New York City years ago, and I’d been counting the days until I could move back to Montana.

New York City was way too crowded for a guy who liked his space.

I’d hated everything about that life except for the variety of food that could be had there.

However, the difference between New York City and Los Angeles is that New York City didn’t have Anna Kendrick living and working there.

It wasn’t just the more frequent sex that I missed.

I missed every damn thing about her.

Her smile.

Her laugh.

The way she handled details that I never even thought about.

The way she cared about everyone in this town.

The way she loved…me.

Anna had become my best friend, and I liked being able to tell her things that I’d never mention to another soul without worrying about her reaction to the weird stuff.

I fucking needed her.

I remembered wondering not that long ago how a man like Wyatt had been brought to his knees by Shelby.

Wyatt had been single and had planned on staying that way until he’d met Shelby.

Now, the two of them were happily married and inseparable.

I didn’t wonder about how that had happened anymore.

I was well familiar with the insanity that took over a man’s brain when they met the right woman.

I’d felt the same way Wyatt had felt before meeting Shelby.

I was the guy who didn’t deal with complicated relationships, and I was probably in the most difficult relationship on the planet.

Grabbing my body wash, I started to clean up. I was extra careful to make sure I had the right container. I’d accidentally used some of the body wash Anna had left here one morning because I was distracted.

It was a moment I’d regretted because it had given off a faint scent that reminded me of Anna, and my dick had been hard all damn day.

I lathered up and started to get my ass in gear.

I’d have to leave for the airport in less than an hour because I wanted to make sure I was there when my jet landed.

I was anxious to see her face, but I already dreaded the goodbyes when it was time for her to leave again in a few days.

I turned off the shower, telling myself that I’d feel better once I had her close to me again, even if that time was limited.

I dried off and wrapped the towel around my waist so I could shave.

That’s when I heard a faint noise coming from the bedroom.
