Love Maker (Lonesome Cowboy Book 2)
Page 12
Colt’s chest tightened, and every other part of him hardened too, his standard reaction to Mariah. Slowly Colt turned toward the voice.
“Hey, Colton. Nice day for a white wedding, huh?”
Christ almighty, Mariah. Hyperventilating at the sight of her in heels and that form-fitting dress was a distinct possibility. Colt didn’t know where to look first. He tried to pull his eyes away from her lips, but her red lipstick made them look even more ravishing than usual. He looked up at the sky and prayed no one could see his hard-on.
Mariah rested her hand on his shoulder and leaned closer, intoxicating him with her addictive scent. She brushed her soft cheek against his and gave him a peck on the cheek.
“You look beautiful,” just spilled from his mouth. Colt didn’t mean to say it. Didn’t even know he was saying it until he did. Christ almighty, Mariah.
Wyatt shot him a pointed glare.
“What?” Colt asked, doing his best to look innocent. “Mariah does look beautiful, doesn’t she?”
Wyatt eyed him for another few seconds and shrugged before turning to say something to Harlan.
“It’s just little ole me,” Mariah purred. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Colt met her mesmerizing green eyes and stayed locked in her stare. “I haven’t seen you in a while.”
“What are you talking about? You saw me last night at The Owl.”
He frowned, trying to recall. Boone had his bachelor party last week, so he and Harlan had stopped into The Owl with Boone for a quick drink and a toast, but he didn’t recall—unless...
“I was right in front of you. Thought for sure you’d come over and say hi.”
He jolted at a flash of memory. “In the hat? On the bull?” Colt took her in, remembering her moves, the way she rode Linda’s new mechanical contraption with abandon, consequently giving every man in the bar who was watching her an erection—just like the one he had now.
“That was you?”
“Sure was. I’m back in town for a while.” Eyes sparkling with mischief, Mariah licked her lips and zeroed in on his. “And I happen to know for a fact that we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other, Colt, so you better get ready.” She grinned and stretched up to give him another kiss on the cheek.
