Maverick Mac Montgomery - 2 Weeks later

I step out of my truck, Judah greeting me after returning from a visit to my sisters. My sister was the only one if my family I kept in touch with, I visit her and her kids when I can, and bring whatever money I can for her, to help pay her bills, and feed the kids. Usually my visits are only a few days, but I'd asked Judah to let me go for two weeks, and he'd just nodded and said to take whatever time I needed, no questions asked. Which I was thankful for, because if he'd asked why I wasnt sure I could lie to him. And saying "Your daughter has my dick in a chokehold and I need to get my head on straight sir" probably wasnt gonna be an answer he wanted to hear. 

I look out to the large round horse pen. Finding the reason for my two week vacation sitting atop her horse with a man in a cowboy hat, that I don't fucking know, making her laugh. 

"Who the hell is that?" I huff and Judah looks over to the pen. 

He gives a slight huff.

"Names Ryder....Joey picked him up." Judah says. Joey was an older ranch hand the often recruited promising young men that he thought would be a good fit, a loyal fit for Judah's ranch. 

"He been getting sweet on Tessa?" I ask and Judah sighs and then looks at me. 

"Aint all you fuckers sweet on her?" He says and my eyes widen slightly. 

"Judah-"

"Oh shut it Mac." He waves a hand. "Dont start lying to me now after two years." He huffs and watches his daughter with this Ryder guy that I already want to make disappear. 

"Don't go getting jealous." Judah says, and I clench my jaw, and he looks at me with a slight smirk and then looks back. 

"Aint no reason to anyhow....if I heard one more damn time 'when is Maverick coming back?', I was about to ship her to your sisters." He says and I fight the smirk on my lips, my mouth twitching as I watch Tessa talk to the new guy, still laughing as he walks beside the horse that she's on. 

"I know she's..." Judah starts and sighs. "I know she's a beautiful girl Mac. I know she's fond of you too. But that's my little girl. Rules still stand. Because it aint about what you think it's about Mac...at least...not now, two years later...sure at first I just didnt want some stanger thinking he could screw around with my daughter...but now...you're family..and if you were to start messin around with Tessa...and you ever hurt her? I'd kill you." He says bluntly and I swallow with a nod. Because, I understood.

"I know she's old enough to make her own choices, but i'm asking you to keep your fuckin hands off her, because I dont want to have to kill my best man when you go and fuck it up and piss her off or make her cry." Judah says and looks at me. And I nod in understanding. Because I too, would kill a man for making Tessa cry or making her unhappy. 

"Nobody hurts my girls." Judah says, meaning Tessa and his wife Beth. 

I nod again. 

I knew I was "like" family. But I wasnt. Judah would choose Tessa over me in a heartbeat, and I wouldnt exepct him to choose me, didnt want him to. 

After a few moments, he looks over at me. 

"So...it work?" He asks and I turn my eyes to him. 

"Did what work?" I ask.

"Your two weeks away from her. Did it work, or am I gonna find you two in my damn driveway again with my daughters ass hanging out of her dress with your hand slappin on it?" He huffs and glowers at me. 

My face heats and I open my mouth. 

"Judah, I...I'm sorry. fuck." I say shaking my head and grumbles.

"Dont do that shit in my driveway again son. Or I'll sting you up by your nuts to the back of horse and lettem drag you over every acre of my land. Got it?" He warns and I nod. 

"yes sir" I nod and he gives another huff.

"It wont happen again. I...I got my head straight. I'm good. I'm sorry Judah, shit, I didn't even...I shouldnt have-"

"Oh would you knock off your damn ramblin, boy?" He shakes his head.

"You two have been making eyes at one another day one, and honestly....after the first few months of you not even trying nothin with her, i knew iif i could trust you around Tessa, I could trust you with more. Its why you're important to me Mac....you've proved yourself to me a hundred times...just know...im not fuckin around when I say I'll kill you for hurting her." 

"I know." I say and nod. 

"It's your choice. You've got my blessing or whatever if she's what you want. But I swear you better know she's what you want, and you dont fuck around on her, you give her the god damn world, you hear me?" he warns, getting himself worked up . I nod.

"Whether its just fun you two want, or a relationship, that's up to you, but I wont stand for my little girl being anything other than happy. So if you decide to take that road with her, you better make sure you keep her fucking happy. Got me?" he growls. 

"Yes." I nod. 

"Now get that fucking half rate cowboy away from my little girl." He grumbles and I chuckle slightly and nod. 

"Yes sir." I say and walk across towards the pen, just as theyre rounding near the gate again. 

"Big Mac! You're back!" he face lights up, her hand lifting waving as I walk over. And just like that. My dick is back in this womans clutches, right along with my heart. 

I open the gate as she turns the horse around has it trot back over, this Ryder guy following along. 

"Here I'll help y-" Ryder lifts his hands to help her down. 

"she's got it." I bite out. "Keep your hands off the girl. " 

Tessa helps herself down as Ryder steps back and raises his hands.

"Was just trying to help." Ryder says.

"Aint you got work to be doing instead of out here flirting with a woman that you ain't got a shot with? Scram." I say and Tessa sighs. 

"He's always this grumpy. Don't take it personally Ry." Tessa says and she gives me a little shove as she walks up to me. 

Ry? She's already given him a nickname? Now I really didnt like him. 

"I'll see you at dinner" She smiles at Ryder and I grumble under my breath as Ryder tips his hat to her and then looks at me. 

"Nice to meet you Mac" he says and I snarl and he walks away. 

"Jesus Big Mac" Tessa half laughs and I look at her and she smiles up at me, in those tight fucking jeans and short sleeve white t shirt that fits her tits so fucking well I want to fall to my knees and beg her to have some god damn mercy when she gets dressed in the morning. 

We didn't talk at all the two weeks I was away. Which wasnt anything out of the ordinary . I was quiet a lot , so even when I was here, we'd often go days at a time without seeing each other or talking. But two weeks. god I fucking missed her voice, her face, that body. 

"Makin friends with the new ranch hand?" I ask her and she cocks her head, liftingher hand to shield her eyes from the sun.

"Maybe I am, so what?" She smiles at me. 

"I dont like him." I huff and she lets out a little laugh.

"You dont like anyone." She laughs. 

"That's not true." I glare at her. 

"Name five people you like, other than your sister and her kids, and my dad." She laughs and holds up her hand wiggling her five fingers.

I snarl slightly and she laughs. 

"Im waiting" she wiggles them again. "Come on, I'll even make it easier, just three." she says and drops her pointer and moves her thumb down and over it. 

I lift my hand, grabbing her pinky. " Y..." I say as I press her pink down. 

"O..." I say ticking the other one down. 

"U..." I say and and lower her middle finger and she smiles up at me.

"Everyone likes me....that's a given..." she shrugs and I smirk slightly at  her. 

"Stay away from that new guy till we can trust him." I say and she rolls her eyes.

"He's harmless." she says and sniff and look in the direction he went. 

"Exactly...famous last words...I dont trust him. Stay away from him Tessa, I mean it." I say looking back at her. 

"Fine, alright." she rolls her eyes. "I'll stay away from the big bad new guy that weighs as much as one of your legs."She tries to joke and I huff and look back in his direction. 

"how was your trip?" she asks and I look back to her. 

"Fine." I say and she rolls her eyes harder. 

"that's all you got? Fine? How's you're sister? Is everything okay? You were gone...awhile." she says. 

"She's fine. Kids are fine. Just...wanted to spend a bit more time with them." I say. 

"Because of us? Because of what happened?" she asks and I take a deep breath. I wasnt a liar. Not with her anyways. 

"I needed to clear my head." I answer. 

She crosses her arms and looks up at me. 

"So you're heads all clear then?"She asks. 

"Mhm." I nod and she drops her arms. 

"So, what's that mean then?" she asks. 

"What do you mean what's it mean?" I ask. 

She recrosses her arms and narrows her eyes slightly.

"Nothing Big Mac, nothing. " she says and shakes her head and walks away and I groan and rub a hand over my face. Because I'd only just learned that Judah was well aware I was into Tessa, and had been for quite some time. Only just learned he saw us in the damn driveway that night. Only just learned, I had his blessing, but also his threats if I fucked it up. 

"Tessa wait." I grumble. but she keeps walking, stomping away, her hot fucking ass in those jeans , those cheeks lifting and falling with each stride she takes.

"Tessa Rae, god damnit, get back here." I growl and she stops and spins, the gravel in the drive crunching under her boots.

"I'm talkin to you" I growl. 

"Yet you're not saying nothin Mac." she says, her pretty face scowling at me. 

"Dont call me that." I grumble at her as I walk over to her, since she's clearly not going to come back to me. 

"Everyone fuckin calls you that." She argues.

"Not YOU. You don't call me that." I say, now towering over her.

"Maybe I'm gonna start." She shrugs.

"The fuck you are." I growl and she huffs. 

"You dont scare me, big guy. So glower at me with those pretty green eyes and your tough guy scowl all damn day, you dont fucking scare me." She pokes me in the chest. 

"Not...one ...bit" she says, walking her fingers up my chest and flicks me against my beard. 

"Glad to have you back...Mac." She says, challenging me with her eyes and smirks as I grind my teeth and she turns and I grab her arm, not too hard, but enough to keep her from walking away.

"Get back here" I growl. 

"Why? Dont wanna do anything that might make you need to clear your head again." She just her chin up and glares at me. 

"See why we arent a good idea? Look at the way you're actin right now and we're not even together, haven't even shared a god damn bed together, and you're acting crazy" I growl at her. 

"Screw you Mac" she tugs at her arm, but I grab her by the wait with my other and slide it around her. 

"I said...dont call me that." I growl at her. 

"you said you hate when i call you Big Mac, so-"

"You know I dont fucking hate it. I dont hate a single fucking thing that comes out of that pretty mouth when you're speakin to me...except when you call me the same as everyone else does...I want you to call me that stupid little nickname or Marverick, cause fuck you make me feel real special when you use my name or that silly fuckin nickname" I groan and she sucks in a breath and places her hand on my chest. 

"thought you cleared your head of me?" she asks, barely breathing as she  looks up at me.

"Tried to....really fucking tried.....only made it worse I'm afraid....being away from you" I say and she licks her lips. 

"You missed me, huh?" she asks and I smirk and her lips curve as well.

"Like fucking hell baby" I whisper and she scratches her nails over my shirt and bites her lip. 

"I missed you too. Dont ever go for that long again." she says and I groan as she pleads with me with those big brown eyes.

"Missed your inspiration huh?" I ask with a tiny grin. 

"Like, fucking, hell..Big Mac" she says and pushes up and wraps her arms around me and I wrap my arms around her , lifting her up as she buries her face in my neck. 

"my dad knows" she says into my neck.

"Yeah...i know" I say and she nudges her nose against my neck.

"Tell me im worth the risk Maverick" she whispers, kissing on my neck as I groan and grab her thighs and lift her up, letting her wrap her legs around me. 

"How about I show you instead?"I groan and she lifts her head and I lift my one hand, scopping my one arm under her ass to hoist her a bit higher. I grab jaw gently and slide my hand behing her head, my thumb resting on her cheek.

She wets her lips and I lick mine and she smiles as she lifts her hand, fingers pushing over my beard and she grins. 

"You gunna kiss me Big Mac?" she whispers and I chuckle.

"Sure am." I say and licks my lips once more.

"Do it then...quit teasing me" she says and I huff .

"Demanding little thing" I groan and she nods.

"get used to it....i'll be demanding a lot from you and that butt" she says and chuckle.

"MY butt? Don think you're gonna be playing around back there Tessa" 

"Im gonna bite it." she says and I laugh. Her eyes lighting up and she grabs my face and crashes her mouth againt my smiling lips as I laugh.

I groan, as her mouth slants and moves over mine and she whimpers against my lips. 

"making you laugh...makes me so fucking wet" she whispers on my mouth. 

"jesus Tessa" I groan. 

"i love making your grumpy face smile, i love getting those little laughs and chuckles from you" she kisses me harder and moans. 

"I said not in my god damn driveway boy!" Judah yells from the porch, making me pause and look at him as he grumbles.

"Sorry Daddy! My fault!" Tessa says.

"Get in the god damn house." Judah grumbles at me as he stomps to his truck.

I carry Tessa across the drive, and up the steps as she waves to her father as he pulls out of the driveway and he glares at me shaking his head, more warning.

"Take me inside Big Mac...im gonna sink my teeth into that ass" she says with a playful bite on my jaw over my beard and I groan. 

"Not before I get my teeth in yours first" I say, smacking her ass and closing the door.
