Saving You (Love Wanted In Texas Book 2)(34)

Taylor gave a thumbs up and began taking items out of the pantry. Grace grabbed a skillet and said, “I’ll start the bacon while Lauren cooks her famous French toast.”

Taylor put everything on the kitchen island as Lauren pushed me out of the way. “Luke, will you get the strawberries out and start washing them and cutting them please.”

I looked at all four girls moving around the kitchen. “What are y’all doing?” They all stopped and looked at me. Grace pulled her head back and gave me a disgusted look. “Um, making breakfast so you can bring it to Libby. Duh. Romance bro, you’ve got to romance her.”

I ran my hand through hair. “’Cause making love to her all night wasn’t romancing her?”

Taylor, Lauren, and Maegan all let out a sigh and looked at me with goofy faces. Grace threw her hands up to her ears. “Oh gross. Yuck! My ears need to be bleached now, Luke! Blah!”

I laughed and pulled Grace into my arms and kissed her cheek. She looked up at me and smiled. “I really am happy for you both. She loves you so much, Luke.”

I felt myself grinning like a fool. “I love her, too, Grace. I’ve always loved her.”

Grace stood on her toes, kissed me on the cheek, turned around, and slapped her hands together and said, “Alright ladies. Let’s do this!”



I CAREFULLY BALANCED the tray that carried two plates of French toast, bacon, fresh strawberries, two orange juices, and two cups of coffee. Grace walked with me and stopped right before we got to the pool house. She cleared her throat. “Luke, I just want to say one thing.”

Turning, I looked at my beautiful baby sister. Her brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail and her green eyes danced with concern. “Please don’t hurt her.”

Swallowing hard, I felt my body tremble.

“I know you, and I know there was a reason you kept pushing Libby away. Please talk to her about it, Luke. I promise you if you don’t, it will always be there, buried deep in your heart. You don’t need that fear living in you.”

I turned my head slightly, looking at my sister. “When did you become so smart on this stuff?”

Her eyes filled with sadness. “Because what I saw in your eyes, is what I see in my own eyes when I look in the mirror.”

My heart dropped and if I hadn’t been holding the damn tray full of food I would have taken Grace by the arm and walked her to the beach to talk. “Grace—”

She held up her hand and shook her head. “No, don’t worry about me, please don’t worry. I want you to be honest with Libby about everything. Your dreams, hopes, fears. All of it, Luke. You have to be honest about everything.”

“I promise you, I’ll talk to her.” I looked toward the door and then back to Grace. “Grace, you know I’m always here for you. If you ever need to talk, or me to kick some *’s ass, I will in a heartbeat.”

Grace laughed and nodded her head. “I know you are and I love you for all of that. Right now, I want you to focus on that girl in there. I want you to know that you do deserve her love, Luke. The two of you were meant to be together.”

I leaned down and kissed Grace’s cheek. “I want us to spend some time together alone before we leave, Grace.”

Nodding her head, she smiled weakly. “We will. I promise.” Grace walked up and put her hand on the doorknob to the pool house. “Right now, I just want you to romance the hell out of my best friend.”

Laughing, I nodded. “I’ll try my best.”

Grace opened the door and stepped back. I winked at her as I walked into the pool house. I shut the door with my foot and smiled as I looked at my sleeping beauty. I turned and set the tray down on the table and made my way to the side of the bed. Looking at Libby, my breath was taken away by her flushed cheeks. I closed my eyes and prayed that I had made last night special for her. Magical. Opening my eyes, I watched as her chest softly rose and fell with each breath. I hope like hell I erased Zach from her mind, and heart.

I dropped to my knees and brushed my fingers through her beautiful blonde hair. When her blue eyes fluttered open she smiled immediately. I smiled in return and my stomach felt like I was riding on a rollercoaster. “Good morning, Lib.”

Libby bit her lip before releasing it and whispering, “Good morning.” She sat up and the sheet fell down, exposing her perfect breasts. I let out a moan as she giggled and pulled up the sheets. “Sorry.”

I stood, leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips. “I have breakfast.”

Her stomach growled. “Oh gosh! I guess all that activity last night worked up my appetite!”

Turning, I walked over and picked up the tray, and carried it back to the bed. I set the tray down, turned and grabbed one of my T-shirts and handed it to Libby. “I can’t eat and look at your breathtaking naked body.”

Libby’s face flushed as she pulled the T-shirt over her head. My heart slammed within my chest. I loved how innocent Libby was, but at the same time she could tell me she wanted my cock to fill her.

Shaking the memory from my head, I adjusted my dick and sat down on the bed across from Lib.

“Wow! Did you make all of this?” Libby asked as she took a sip of coffee and let out a long moan of satisfaction. I shook my head and laughed. “No. I was buttering you toast when all the girls came into the kitchen. Once they found out you and I were—well together. They jumped into action and began cooking up a romantic breakfast for you.”
