Bauer

I HAD NEVER THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT FARMING BEFORE. Well, never at all. But it was a lot of work. I toiled away in the hot late summer sun and finished everything he had requested. After I placed a couple of bushels of peaches on Max’s kitchen table, I went to check on him. He was passed out on the couch. I let him sleep and ordered some food. He finally woke up a few hours later.

“Hey there,” I said when he blinked his eyes open.”

He licked his lips, such a sexy little gesture. “You’re still here.”

“Wanted to make sure you’re still doing okay. There’s food in the fridge. Want me to heat it up?” I asked, leaning my shoulder against the door frame.

“I’ll do it later. Thanks.”

“Next time we have sex, I’ll be gentler.”

He scrunched up his nose. “Next time?”

“Yes.” I grew hard just thinking about it.

“Bauer, we’re both alphas.”

“You’ve mentioned that once or twice or a thousand times. I don’t care. I like you.” Did I know him well or really know anything about him? No, not really, but there was just something about him.

“You only like me because it turns out I’m really easy,” he said, pouting.

“I think you were just in your rut. Both of us were. But I don’t like you just for the sex.” Even though it was the most phenomenal sex I had ever had.

“What is it about me that you have learned over the past several days that makes you like me?” He scratched above his eyebrow with his thumb.

“First off, you’re hot as fuck, you’re nineteen, and you’re kind of grouchy. I like that. And the fact that you’re a farmer is adorable.” I could imagine him sweating in the sun, wearing nothing but overalls and some big boots.

He fixed his eyebrows together. “I am not adorable.”

“You’re totally adorable. An adorable, hot as fuck alpha that I like and want to get to know better.”

He grumbled.

“Get some more sleep. I’ll come and check on you again tomorrow.” I went over to him and kissed his forehead.

“That won’t be necessary.”

“The next day, then.”

“How about next week?”

“Fine, but I’m texting every day.”
