Unbuckling my jeans and starting to wiggle them down my legs, stepping out and tossing them to the side. Following quickly behind is my shirt and bra. With nothing left but my panties, I walk into the bedroom and pause at the side of the bed. Hooking the lace at my hips and sliding them down and kick them to the side, pulling back the sheet.

Smiling when I find Garrett is wearing nothing, he prefers to sleep nude.

Crawling over him, I straddle him and that’s when he reacts.

His body jerks and his hands go to my waist. “Damn,” he croaks out, looking over my body. “I could get used to being woken up this way.”

Leaning over him, I press my lips to his. Feeling him growing hard against me as I shift my hips triggering a deep moan to escape him.

“Missed you,” I confess, before kissing him once again. “By the way, I’m gonna need to move in with you now.”

He chuckles, sliding his hands up and down my back.

“Did everything go okay?” He is referring to the trip to pick up my mother and bring her back here.

“Everything is good,” I tell him. “It's better now, so much better.”

Again I glide over him, the friction being exactly what I need. I need his closeness. I need him to love me, I need the connection.

“Nothing would make me happier than having you right here with me, every day and every night.” He turns me over, positioning himself between my thighs. Pulling back I feel his erection pressing against me.

When he shifts forward and pushes into me, he pauses, and our eyes connect. “I love you, Kyra.”

And before I can reply he thrust his hips and my back arches. This is what I needed. More than anything, I needed him.

CHAPTERFORTY-FOUR

Garrett

“Garrett,”Kyra holds my hand a little tighter. “This is Rose, my mother.”

The woman offers me a smile, holding out her hand. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“You too,” I say.

I can see the resemblance between Kyra and her mom. There is evidence of her drug use, evidence of the harder years, but her eyes, they are the same.

The door from the kitchen swings open and Gran steps out. “Well, hello handsome,” she hollers out. “He is a looker Rose, I told you he was a looker didn’t I?”

“You sure did mom,” Rose smiles looking back over her shoulder. “And I agree.”

I feel my cheeks heat when not only Kyra is looking at me but so is everyone else in Sugarland.

“It’s no wonder she was so keen on moving out and in with him.” Gran continues and I glance around at a few familiar faces of the town's ladies. “If I had a man like him lying in the bed next to me I’d probably never leave the bedroom.”

“Gran,” Kyra warns and Rose snickers.

“Don’t Gran me,” Lily Mae says with a smile. “I’m only speaking the truth; your face screams every time you walk in the room. The guy knows his way around female anatomy and you're reaping the benefits.”

“Well, we are done here.” Kyra links her fingers with mine and attempts to drag me away.

“Oh no,” Gran says, grabbing ahold of my other hand, giving it a little pull. The two of them have some kind of tug of war that makes me laugh. “Garrett is going to help me in the kitchen today.”

“You are?” Kyra seems skeptical.

“Gran’s gonna teach me a little baking.”

“I can teach you how to bake.” Kyra narrows her eyes. She is dreading this. I can see it already. I offer her a wink and start to walk with Gran toward the kitchen. Looking back over my shoulder I wink just before we enter the kitchen.
