Tex Read online

  “Time for bed, bud.” Jared only gives me a mild fit tonight, for which I’m thankful.

  I’m proud of Tex, but I miss him too. Sleeping in my bed alone isn’t my preference.

  “We wrapped up filming early.” He gathers me in his arms and kisses me hard on the mouth. The week apart has felt like a year, and all that missing each other is wrapped up in this very heated kiss.

  “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?”

  “And spoil the surprise?” Tex kisses my neck as his hands slide to my ass. He yanks my hips against his. I feel his erection through his jeans. “Why don’t you and I go roll around in our bed?”

  “Is there any other way?”
