What kind of man didn’t like pussy?

I guess the same kind of man who doesn’t like pleasing his lady.

“Okay, can we please start the movie? That’s enough show and share for the day.”

I reached for the remote and turned on the TV. I searched for the movie and then leaned back against the sofa.

“Hey, you don’t have to put onHarry Potterfirst. I said we could start withStar Wars.”

“That was before I knew your pussy has been deprived all these years. So, we’re watchingHarry Potter, Miney. But when you get back together with that selfish prick, you’re going to make some demands, and I’m going to help you.”

“Deal,” she said, extending her hand to me just as the movie started. But instead of shaking it, I tugged her close, and her head settled against my chest. My arms came around her on instinct.

For a moment, I wondered what it would be like if she didn’t go back to Carl.

And she stayed here with me.

Forever.

The last weekhad flown by. Finn had found a gorgeous three-year-old colt whom he’d named Han Solo.

Go figure.

We’d taken him and Millie out on a long ride today after Finn had gone with me to check out two office spaces downtown. Starting my own business was both thrilling and terrifying, but I was ready to take some risks.

To feel something.

The prices were a bit high for me, and I could potentially start the business off remotely. Meet people at their homes.

Finn felt strongly that I needed to show that I was serious. Find a space and get things rolling.

It had been so long since I’d been excited about what I did for a living, and going to London had changed all that for me. I wasn’t going to waste that lesson. I was going to make it happen.

“Hey, I just thought of something. Have you ever thought about the fact that someone might name their horse Wyatt after your character onBig SkyRanch? I mean, you just named your horse Han Solo,” I said as I made my way into the kitchen, where he was cooking chili.

I’d just gotten ready in Finn’s bathroom. Sometimes it was just easier since all of my belongings were in his room. Turns out, Brinkley was right because Georgia had been at Cottonwood Café and overheard Mrs. Runither and Marilyn talking about me and Finn living together. Marilyn had cleaned his house three days ago, and clearly, she’d paid attention to where my things were.

“Wow, look at you,” Finn said with a whistle.

It smelled like fall in here, with the fresh log burning in his fireplace and the seasonings from the chili flooding the kitchen.

“Thank you. You approve,Lover?” I teased as I twirled around. I was wearing my new cream sweater, which fell off one shoulder, my dark skinny jeans, and my lucky cowboy boots. My hair was pulled back in a messy knot at the nape of my neck, and I felt put together for the first time since I’d found out Carl was dating someone else.

It felt good to put on makeup and dress cute again.

After our long conversation about orgasms, my mind wandered to Carl and his current girlfriend. It was nauseating to think about, for sure, but I couldn’t help but wonder if our lack of connection had something to do with me. Maybe I don’t appeal to guys in a sexy way. Maybe I’m safe or something like that. Finn and I have been friends forever, and never once has he tried anything sexual—not in a serious way, anyway. Maybe Carl didn’t get excited over me either… That was a depressing thought.

“I sure do, Lover,” he said as he held a hand beneath the ladle and motioned for me to come taste.

Living here had been so easy, and I knew I’d be sad when our little arrangement came to an end, but it was for the greater good. I’d still get to see Finn every day, at least when he wasn’t filming. And it was time to figure out things with Carl.

I sealed my lips over the spoon and groaned as the garlic and peppers hit my tongue. Finn had become a really good cook since all the drama with Jessica had him keeping a low profile at home.

She’d gone silent since our relationship had gone public. But she kept calling Finn, who continued to ignore her calls. He was not looking forward to filming with her again in the new year. And I was dreading him not being here, where I could see him every day.
