“I wanted to.” His warm, intimate smile heats me from the inside out. My knees turn to jelly as my face turns bright red.
I barely notice the door jingling behind us as someone walks in. “Good morning, Lex.” I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping the ground opens up and swallows me. Just my freaking luck. Here I am waiting for my saving grace—coffee—and I have to deal with not only the hot judge but the jerk sheriff, too.
“Good morning, Dillon.” Judge Ashford glances over my head and gives the sheriff a nod.
“Good morning, Letty.” Great. The testosterone meter is hitting overload in the small coffee shop. I glance over my shoulder and give Sheriff Armstrong a half-smile.
The two men begin discussing something that is none of my business, so I stand like a bump on a log and try to fade into the background. My luck finally turns around when the barista places our coffee order on the counter. Before either man can react, I grab the two lattes and rush out the door like the hounds of hell are on my heels.
Chapter 4
LEX
Watching my girl rush out of the coffee shop, I realize she’s going to need special handling. My gorgeous little lawbreaker is skittish, but I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine. I spend a sleepless night fantasizing about her luscious curves. I’m pretty sure my cock is going to suffer permanent damage from the constant hard-on her stunning body caused.
“You’re going to have your hands full trying to tame her.” Dillon slaps me on the back, reminding me I’m in a crowded coffee shop drooling over the curvy little lawbreaker. “I can see you’ve been drinking the Silver Spoon Falls water.”
“What?” This whole town has gone nuts since I left several years ago.
“Let me tell you a little story.” He points at our coffees sitting on the counter. “Grab those while I grab us a table.”
What do I look like, the fucking waiter?
I set our coffees on the table and sit across from Dillon. “It’s good to have you back,” he tells me, and I realize I did miss my hometown and friends.
“Are you looking for a sane person?” I ask, wondering what the hell happened since I moved away.
“Not going to find one in this town.” He laughs. “The love bug has struck and we’re all acting like morons.” I blink several times, wondering if I heard my old friend right. Has everyone in town gone crazy? “We’ve concluded that the water contributes to the insane amount of love matches happening throughout Silver Spoon Falls.”
As he explains, I rub the back of my neck, pretty sure whatever caused my old friend to lose his mind is now working on me.
Keeping with the theme of crazy, I drive past Letty’s house on the way home from the courthouse. I might’ve gotten her address off the original ticket, but that’s neither here nor there. The large country home sits at the end of a dead-end road. As I pass by the secluded house, I slow down to check it out. Three women living alone in the middle of nowhere should have more security, and I make a mental note to ask Dillon for recommendations.
Of course, I plan to move Letty in with me as soon as I can arrange it, but I still want her sisters to be safe.
It might be nuts, but I already know that Letty owns me, heart and soul. There’s no way I’d ever take a chance with her safety.
After arriving at my new home, I throw a frozen dinner in the microwave and pull out my phone to call my sister. “It’s about time you called me back,” Wren grumbles.
“Sorry. I’ve been busy getting everything settled.” I cross my fingers behind my back as I lie to my younger sister.
“Bull,” she calls me on it. “I heard a rumor going around that you’re the latest victim of the Silver Spoon Falls water.” Why is everyone so fucking concerned about the goddamn town’s water?
“Is everyone in town nuts?” I grumble, already knowing the answer.
“Yep. It’s time you embrace the insanity, Lex Loser.” My younger sister might be a well-respected defense attorney, but she still loves to needle me like she did when we were kids.
“Never, Wrenegade,” I tell her and walk over to remove my dinner from the microwave.
“That’s not the rumor going around town. The Silver Spoon Falls grapevine is still very active. I’ve heard from very reliable sources that you’ve gone ga-ga over a very sweet little shop owner.”
How the fuck does this shit get around so fast? “I’m not discussing my love life with you.”
“That’s okay. I’ll just keep getting my info from the grapevine.” Fucking hell. Just like every other person in this crazy town.
After I manage to get my sister off the phone, I try to choke down a few bites of the awful dinner before heading up to shower. My hard fucking cock reminds me of the effect my little lawbreaker has on my body. Just thinking about her ripe, perfect curves causes my blood to heat while my cock grows impossibly harder. My hands clench at my sides as my mind fills with fantasies of Letty’s smoky voice calling my name while she rides my hungry cock.
