Free Goodbye Girl (Hidden Lane Ranch) by Scarlett Metal Page A

reached up and cupped my breasts, squeezing them as I
thought about his lips on my nipples. Fuck, he’d gotten me off more times than
I could count, but one thought of him and I was already on edge again.

 
    I jumped at the sound of a knock on
the door. “Rachel, are you up?” It was Eliza.

 
    “Be right there,” I called, throwing
on the rest of my clothes and running to answer the door. I opened it and there
she stood, looking like a million bucks; didn’t she ever have a bad hair day. Her
jet black hair was pulled back again in a high ponytail, but this time it fell
down her back in waves. Her makeup was perfectly done, looking like a professional
had done it. How did she look so good this early?

 
    She pushed her way into my room and
sat on the bed. “So,” She said, crossing her legs and propping her chin on
fist. “How did it go last night?”

 
    I could feel my cheeks getting warm,
remembering last night. I wasn’t one to kiss and tell, but it was obvious this
family was close; secrets were probably hard to keep. “Good,” I managed to
stammer. I had no idea why I was so shy about what had happened last night; I
was a grown woman and not at all ashamed of my sexuality. I really liked these
people though and didn’t want them to think less of me because I slept with
Clint after only knowing him a day.

 
    She rolled her eyes and looked down
to examine her nails on her right hand. “Please, I heard you when I put your
bags in your room. Things had to go way better than ‘good’.”

 
    “Well,” I mumbled, totally unsure of
what to say. Clint had probably seen them all already this morning and I had no
idea what he may or may not have told them.

 
    “Don’t worry,” she said, waving her
hand. “Clint didn’t say a thing. He was sorta late so he grabbed some coffee
and headed outside. I’m sure he’s getting an earful from Wyatt though.” She
stood up with a grin and glanced down at my stuff. “Come have some breakfast
and then we can get a little work done. Then you can come back here and get
settled a bit more.”

 
    I slipped into my sandals and Eliza
looked down at them. “We have to get you better shoes. You can’t be running
around this place in those things.” She pointed to her cowboy boots. “We’ll get
you a pair of boots.”

 
    I shook my head and laughed. “Never
in my life did I think I’d ever wear cowboy boots.”

 
    She winked at me. “You’re in Wyoming
now, girlie. Better get used to it.”

 
    We laughed and headed out to the
kitchen. Rachel headed into the office to make a quick call, leaving me with
Clint’s mom. She was at the sink washing dishes. Embarrassment washed over me
again; what had she heard from our escapades last night. Her eyes lit up when
she saw me and I felt relieved.

 
    “Good morning, dear,” she said,
wiping her hands dry on a dishtowel. “Coffee?”

 
    I nodded. “Yes please.”

 
    She nodded and grabbed a mug from
the cupboard before pouring me a cup. “Cream or sugar?”

 
    I shook my head. “Black.”

 
    “A girl after my own heart.” She set
it on the table and motioned for me to sit down. “Let me get you some
breakfast. Eggs? Pancakes?” She walked over to the fridge.

 
    “Oh no, I’m good.” I didn’t want to
put her out when it was clear everyone else was done with breakfast.

 
    “Nonsense,” she said. “You have to
eat something.”

 
    I tried to think of something simple
that wouldn’t require too much effort. “How about some toast?”

 
    “Perfect,” she said, pulling a loaf
of bread from the pantry and walking over to the toaster. She put a couple of
pieces in the toaster and pushed the lever down. “What do you think of this
place?”

 
    “It’s beautiful. I love it
actually,” I admitted, taking a long sip of my coffee. I closed my eyes in
bliss; this was the best cup of coffee I’d ever had, even better than all the
coffee shops I’d been back
