“What are you up to, Bumble Bee?” My breath is shallow and I barely manage a smirk.

She licks her lips, flicking her gaze down and fuck that’s sexy enough. She can untie me right now and I’m hers for life.

Storm drops to her knees, braid loose around her shoulder as she shoves down my sweatpants.

“Storm,” I warn with a grunt. “Someone could—”

She looks up at me. “No one comes into my barns, hotshot. But I’m really glad you did.”

My briefs are pulled down next and my cock springs toward her. “Fuck, Storm. Untie me.”

She takes me into her hot mouth. Sliding her tongue from the bottom up as she pulls me out slow. I curse, my wrists tugging from her impressive knot. But it’s another kind of restraint that’s killing me right now—ramming into her mouth the way every muscle in me wants to.

She sucks me deep, taking me to the back of her throat, pumping me. “Christ,” I breathe, wondering what exactly this beam is holding, because it’s about to be pulled off its fucking bolts. “Baby, you need to untie one hand. Let me guide you the way I need you.”

She pulls me out of her mouth and raises two hands upward to the knots on my wrist. And it’s a sight. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous baby. Remind me to have you just like this, topless, later.”

One wrist drops loose and I don’t miss a beat, wrapping my fingers around her hair. Bucking my hips slowly and pumping into her open mouth with ease.

“You’re incredible,” I pant. “My goddess, a fucking dream the way you’re taking me.”

She whimpers and moans, her throat vibrating against me.

I tighten everywhere and warn her with a gentle tug. “Storm, baby.”

She pumps harder, reaching back and squeezing me in a way that throws me over the edge. “Bee, fuck.” I spill down her throat, shuddering and grunting like a caveman through my release. You’d think I’d never done this before the way she has me wrapped around her finger. The way I feel owned by this woman.

I help her up with one hand and kiss her deep, tasting myself, loving what she does to me and never wanting it to end. I break the kiss to look at my woman. Wanting to remember her just like this. “You’re the sexiest woman alive. And I’m so lucky you’re mine.”

Her eyes light like I’ve never seen. Like I’d just handed her the moon.

And it detonates something in me.

Something primal and . . . permanent.

She unties the other wrist and drops to lift my pants. Then looks up at me and I know it all too well. I recognize it immediately. The same look she used to give me as kids, a quiet triumph.

Except this time, it’s our victory.

It’s also one that tells me in no uncertain terms, I better think twice before giving her the cold shoulder again . . . because she’ll make me regret it.

And she’d be right about it all.

“I love you,” I breathe, pressing my forehead to hers. “I need you to know I don’t blame you for what happened. I never did—not for a second.”

Regret still lingers in her features and I grip her chin when she opens her mouth. “It was your secret to tell and I’m sorry he took that away from you.” My stomach tightens with anger once more when her eyes sting with tears, telling me what I already knew.

“I was going to.” She nods, swiping at a fallen tear. “I’m almost sure of it.”

I chuckle and bring my face down to hers again, kissing the tip of her nose. “Let’s get out of here before I drop on one knee without a ring.”

“Well?” Storm asks when I get off the phone with Noah Reeves, our family lawyer and Chase’s older brother from Hideaway Springs.

He handles all of Chase’s contracts and media stuff.

After spending the rest of the afternoon officially making up, Storm and I got dressed and came up with a plan, starting with Max, the media, and eventually, handling Jasper. Storm’s old agreement seems solid enough, but I won’t take the word from his family’s lawyer, who no doubt left room for loopholes. I want something more concrete from a lawyer I trust.

“He’ll prioritize your old agreement Jasper’s family had you sign. It’s not where we wanted him to start, but Noah doesn’t like the idea of a one-sided agreement signed by an unrepresented party, so he’s attacking that one tonight.”
