He's not looking, because Vaughn Collins knows that I, Valentina Brewster, have never been touched. And him? He's had more than a few rounds with the bucket bunnies. I escaped a lifestyle where religious freedom wasn't accepted, and started to build a future for myself, when my father found me.
Now that I've decided to stop running, Vaughn wants to protect me, and I'm willing to let him do it. But the forced proximity is starting to get to us. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to hold off.
I'm terribly close to asking him to teach me all the things I've always wanted to know.
I have a feeling he'll have no problem saying yes…
Tropes Included
· small town · blue collar · forced proximity · she asks him to teach her · he's only tender for her
Vaughn is book five in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.
"Nolan, you can't cut." I point my finger at the hot, single dad, I argue with almost every day. It's a little game we play. He comes in and tries to start working his way up to the front of the line, without having to wait. He's way too good-looking for his own good, and so many men and women just take the smile he gives and let him do whatever he wants.
"I didn't cut." He holds his hand up. "This lovely young woman told me I could go in front of her. Who am I to let a gift like this go to waste?"
I tilt my head to the side, hands on my hips. "You and I both know you asked her, it wasn't like she did it out of the goodness of her heart. One day I'm going to put a sign on the front door that says do not let this man sweet talk you into giving up your spot in line."
"Why you gotta be such a hater, Val?" Nolan crosses his arms, and throws me an aggravated look.
"Your daughter loves you, isn't that enough?"
He dips his chin into his chest. "Not cool, Val. When did you learn to be mean? You used to be so nice when you first started working here."
Behind him, the man I can't stop thinking about walks up. "She's learned from the best, stop being a dick, go to the back of the line, and wait your turn."
Nolan turns on Vaughn. "Nobody asked you to get involved."
Vaughn tilts his head toward me. "You give her shit, you fuck with me. Them's the rules." He grabs Nolan by the neck, squeezing, as he takes them out the door and to the back of the line.
