And Daddy Makes Five
Rust Creek Ramblings
In a town as small as Rust Creek Falls, it would be hard not to notice the new millionaire on Main Street, even if he wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous. But bachelor Autry Jones does not disappoint—he’s every bit as handsome as his settled-down brothers Walker and Hudson. However, this business-minded CEO not only shies away from commitment, he’s also heading for Paris in a month. So why is he keeping company with Marissa Fuller, a young widow with three daughters?
Marissa and Autry have made a “no-strings/just friends” agreement, but Abby, Kiera and Kaylee clearly have other ideas. Can a dedicated tycoon find happiness with a mom and her kids? We here at the Gazette are hopeful. Some contracts were made to be broken!
“What about you, Marissa? What would make you happy?”
“When my crew is happy, I’m happy.” She smiled. “I guess it’s hard to separate one from the other. It’s been a long time since it’s been just me, you know?
“What would make me happy?” She paused and looked at him, and she was pretty sure her answer was written all over her face.
He sucked in a breath and leaned close and kissed her. She kissed him back, grateful for their secluded corner.
“Just for tonight,” she said.
“Just for tonight.”
She kissed him again, her hands on his face, everything she felt going into the fierce kiss. “No strings attached,” she whispered.
“That’s always been the case,” he said.
No strings. She’d shake on that again, but not on being friends. She couldn’t be casual friends with Autry, not after this, and certainly not after they made love.
“Maybe we should take this conversation upstairs,” he said.
“I think we’re done talking,” she whispered and kissed him again.
