Chapter 11: LAW

By the time I made it back to the house, I'd been stopped by three more people who needed shit done. She was bending over, taking something from the oven that smelt like heaven, but it was the sight of her ass that made my cock jump. I need this fuck.

"You just about done in here?"

"Ahhh." She jumped and dropped the pan of cookies on top of the stove. "Lawton, you scared me half to death."

It was the first time she'd said my name, and it did something to the nerves in my gut. I felt like an ass standing there wanting to ask her to say my name again in her sweet voice. I'm a fucking romance novel.

"Sorry, are you done? You need to go say bye to your mother." That made her sad, and she gave me the pouty face sad eyes look as she removed her apron and turned down the oven.

"I know you said not to ask you about your..."

"So don't."

She actually glared at me and huffed. Shit, she was one of those.

"As I was saying, I don't see why mom can't just stay here with me."
