Saving You (Love Wanted In Texas Book 2)(51)

Reaching up, I pulled her hair down and watched it as it fell along her shoulders. “You’re beauty leaves me speechless, Lib. I want to make love to you all night.”

Watching the blush move across her cheeks I leaned down and brushed my lips over hers. Pulling back I smiled. “Give me two seconds.”

Libby chuckled as I jumped back in my truck and hit my iPod. I shut the passenger door and took her hands in mine as Blake Shelton’s “My Eyes” began playing through the speakers of my truck.

Libby’s eyes lit up as I pulled her body closer to mine. “Luke …” she whispered.

Libby and I began dancing slowly in the middle of the parking lot. She pulled back slightly when I started singing the song to her. I watched a tear begin a trail down her gorgeous face. I placed my hand on the side of Libby’s face as I wiped the tear away with my thumb. “Are you happy, Lib?”

“I’ve never been so happy in my life, Luke.”

Pulling her lips to mine I stopped just short of a kiss. “I love you.”

“I love you, Luke.

Thirty minutes later, I had Libby wrapped up in my arms as I kissed her soft lips and pushed inside of her.

We spent the entire night tangled up in each other’s arms.





ALEX GRABBED MY arm! “Go, Colt, go!” she screamed as we all jumped. Colt had the ball and was headed for a touchdown.

“Damn it, Colt run!” Luke yelled out. When Colt crossed the goal line, Alex and I began hugging and jumping. I turned and Luke took me in his arms as I kissed him. Alex turned and kissed Will. It was an A&M tradition to kiss the guy next to you after a touchdown.

Luke pulled back and smiled. “Damn, Colt has got to be making Gunner one proud daddy!”

I nodded my head and watched as they kicked the extra point. Everyone on the sidelines was still congratulating Colt. He had quickly become the star wide receiver for A&M. This was the second touchdown he scored today and we were only in the second quarter.

Will and Luke high fived each other as I pulled out my phone and sent Lauren a text.

Me: Did you see Colt?!

Lauren: I did! Did you see Bruce?!

Ugh. I rolled my eyes. Lauren was now officially dating Bruce, the A&M quarterback. She had been pretty friendly with him ever since we had that party at our place. She talked to him almost all night and if they weren’t talking they were dancing. I swear Colt watched them the whole evening.

Me: Yep. But I like watching Colt more!

I waited for a response. Nothing. I let out a sigh and looked out over the field. “What’s wrong, Lib?” Luke asked.

I shrugged. “Lauren. This whole Bruce thing isn’t sitting right with me.”

Luke frowned. “Yeah. Colt didn’t take the news of the two of them dating very well. Will said Colt got trashed and the coach had to have a talk with him.”

I shook my head. I hated to see the same thing happen to Colt and Lauren as what Luke and I did. This stupid cat-and-mouse game was crazy insane. Alex and I had tried to talk to Lauren about it. Her response was she wanted to have fun. She didn’t need a man to help her. I was pretty sure it had something to do with her dad. Lauren seemed to think he didn’t have faith in her to run the business. Him bringing Colt on as a partner when he graduated was throwing Lauren off big time.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I turned to Alex and asked, “Are we all driving home together for Thanksgiving?”

Alex looked over my shoulder, then looked at me. “Um, sure.”

“Okay, cause I think it would be easier if you, me, Luke, and Will all just drove in one vehicle. Unless y’all had plans?”

Alex wasn’t paying attention to me. I snapped my fingers in front of her. “Hello? Earth to Alex? Turning back to me she smiled and then asked, “Who’s Luke talking to?”

Turning, I saw Karen. She was standing on one of the seats on the bleacher below us. Luke was leaned over talking to her. Her hand was on his arm as she said something into his ear. That same zip of jealousy rushed through my veins as when I saw the two of them dancing that night at the Italian restaurant, then again at Whippets when they were hugging. I looked back at Alex. “That’s Karen. Luke’s ex-girlfriend.”

“Huh. Wonder what she wants?” Alex asked as she kept her eyes on Karen.

I looked back and Karen saw me looking. She smiled and dropped her hand from Luke’s arm. “Hey, Libby! How are you?” Peeking at Luke, I noticed he was already back into watching the football game.

“I’m doing well. How about you?”

“Couldn’t be better. I was just telling Luke that I wanted to invite y’all to the wedding. I’d love to have you both there.”

Uh-huh. Sure you would.

Smiling politely, I nodded. “Of course. We’d love to be there.”

She smiled sweetly and her fiancée walked up and wrapped his arm around her. She looked into his eyes and I couldn’t help but smile. Guilt raced through my body as I watched them exchange a kiss.

Looking back at Luke, Karen reached up and tapped his arm. “We’ll see y’all at the wedding then?”

Luke nodded quickly and then went back to watching the game. I chuckled at how stupid I had acted a few seconds ago.

Karen waved good-bye as I lifted my hand and returned the gesture.
