Marrying The Cowboy: A BWWM Cowboy Billionaire Romance Read Online Free PDF

lipstick accented her simple outfit. She chose a pair
of form fitting jeans. Her mahogany complexion was gorgeous against
her cream colored shirt. Spraying a bit of vanilla scented perfume,
she readied to eat dinner with Bruce,
    When she walked into the living room, there he was, standing there.
    "You are my knight in shining armor. Swooping in here and saving
the day."
    "It was nothing really. Come on. Let's eat."
    Kate led them out to her balcony, where she had a table set with a
floral centerpiece and a bowl with floating candles.
    Bruce pulled out her chair and waited for her to take a seat. "Let
me get the food."
    She relaxed while he got the food ready.
    "Here we go." He returned with two plates with slices of
pizza.
    "It's not gourmet, but it is dinner."
    Laughing, she ate the pizza. "All that matters is the outcome. I
was starving and what I had going on in the kitchen was not going to
count as dinner."
    The air outside was warm and the sounds of the street below
surrounded them. Kate appreciated the fact that the two of them could
sit in a comfortable silence.
    "How was your conference?"
    "Everything went well. I made some headway with some potential
prospects."
    "That is wonderful. I'm really proud of you for going back to
consulting."
    Bruce wiped his mouth with a napkin. His sexy grin turned her on.
"Thank you. I just hate being away from you for any amount of
time."
    He took her hand in his. "It is like an eternity being away from
you. Not waking up next to you in the morning. A man should not have
to suffer like that."
    "Tell me more," she purred, leaning in as if Bruce was
going to tell her a secret.
    Gazing at her from across the table, Bruce looked as if he was ready
to pour out his heart and soul. She was ready for anything.
    "Kate, over this past year, I have grown to love you more and
more each day. When we met, I was not looking for love. I was not
looking for anything in particular. And then you came along. Changed
all of that for a man like me. My dream is to have the wife and the
kids and all that life has to offer me. And I want that with you."
    Words were caught in her throat. Kate was not sure how to respond as
a tear came to her eye.
    "Kate, I know we have these careers and these goals and all of
these other things going on in our lives. But I want us to keep us
first. We have to remember what made us fall for each other and keep
that as our guiding force. We have to remind ourselves that we fell
for one another, despite the fact that outwardly looking in, we
appear to be polar opposites."
    His words evoked more tears. As Bruce spoke, Kate's heart swelled
with love. Bruce never hesitated to tell her how he felt.
    He squeezed her hand, then bringing it to her lips, he kissed her
skin. "I'm all yours tonight."
    She took her other hand and wiped her tears away. "Good. I did
not want you leave."
    "I won't."
    He beckoned for her to stand up. She did, coming to him as he led her
to the ledge. Bruce wrapped his arms around her as they looked out
over the city.
    "It's beautiful isn't it?" she began.
    "What?" He nuzzled his face in her hair.
    "How life moves so quickly. The fluidity of it all. Things
change all of the time. Where you would think there would be some
sort of fear in that, it is really something powerful."
    "I think you are right about that, my love." He kissed the
back of her neck and tightened his hold around her waist.
    "You know. I was not looking for love at all either. I basically
wanted to work and just focus on my career. I think partially because
I am driven, and partially because I did not think anyone would
fulfill my fairy tale. A huge part of me did not want to be
disappointed at all if I did not find love. But Bruce, you have
changed all of that for me. Made me understand that love comes from
the most unexpected places and sometimes it does not look like you
expect it to look. I'm so unbelievably happy."
    He turned her around to face him. "What you've said is something
I already
