Page 7 of Kissing the Mountain Man
“Just because you’re too stubborn to see what’s right in front of your eyes, Iclyn, that’s your problem.”
Iclyn glares at Junie, the anger rolling off her in waves. “We’re not talking about me.”
“I know Icy.” Junie uses the nickname she gave her when she was little and couldn’t say “Iclyn.” “But I want at least one of my sisters to be happy.”
Brynnlee pushes her way into the back room, nearly out of breath, “I tried to stop him, but the damn fool won’t listen to reason. He’s running through the bakery half naked and pissed off. I told him no shirt, no shoes, no service, but he won’t listen.”
Before I can understand what Brynnlee is saying, Ridge pushes his way into the back room wearing nothing but blue jeans—and just as Brynnlee said, no shirt and no shoes, his dark hair standing on all ends like a wild man.
“There you are.” His eyes lock onto me, making me step back as a mix of fear and relief flickers across his face. “Don’t you ever leave me again.” He quickly moves to my side and pulls me into his arms, holding me as if he never wants to let go.
“Can everyone step out and give us a few minutes?” I ask my sisters, Brynnlee, and the small group of customers who have followed the action to the back room. I wait for everyone to leave before I push at Ridge’s chest, letting him know I need some space. He complies immediately.
“If you truly want to make this work, you’ll need to get a permanent job—that five thousand dollars in prize money isn’t going to go far since we’ll have to find a place to live and maybe get you a better car.” I ramble on as he gazes at me with a look of amusement on his smug, handsome face. “I can get a second job to help support us and any children we might have.” I place a protective hand on my stomach, hoping a little one is already growing there.
“Are you finished?” Ridge takes my hands in his. “I’m filthy rich. You don’t have to work if you don’t want to.”
I blink, my mind trying to understand what he just said.
He’s filthy rich.
I don’t care about his money—all I care about is him, but I refuse to make this easy on him. “So you lied about being a drifter, in town for the prize money.”
“I didn’t lie exactly. You asked, and I responded with ‘something like that.’ You’re the one who misinterpreted the meaning.” The smirk I’ve come to love makes another appearance, and I can’t stay mad at him.
“Ugh, why do I love you so much, Dimples?” I bring a hand to my mouth, wanting to take those words back. It’s too soon for me to be telling him I love him. “I mean…” I start to say, but he stops me with a kiss.
“I love you too, Buttercup.” He breaks the kiss and whispers against my mouth.
“Why do you call me Buttercup?” I ask. “It’s obvious why I call you, Dimples, but why do you call me Buttercup?”
“That’s just as obvious, Autumn. You act like you have this tough shell around you that no one can crack, but when you finally do, there’s a creamy, sweet surprise inside.”
Epilogue - Autumn
Ten Years Later
I
t’s nice to seemy sisters and friends all settled down with their own families—even Iclyn, though it took her longer than it should have. But according to her husband, she was worth the wait.
We have about thirty minutes before Junie and Brooks drop off our five children. They range in age between two and nine years old. As luck would have it, I did getpregnant that first night—it must run in the family.
Having a big family is something we both want. We’re planning to start on baby number six soon, but not just yet.
I wrap my hands around Ridge’s stiff cock, loving the velvety feel of it. But I love it even better in my mouth. I swirl my tongue around the tip, licking at the pre-cum waiting for me, before opening my mouth and taking him deep into my throat, earning me a groan of approval.
“And just what exactly are you searching for?” Ridge shifts his hips, driving his cock deeper into my mouth.
I take a long, deep pull on his cock, taking him all the way to the back of my throat before popping off, causing him to moan. “You’re creamy filling, of course.”
