Letting Go (Mitchell Family #1)(61)
Author: Jennifer Foor

She was interrupted by Colt, who was coming down the stairs in only a towel. Beads of water covered his wet body. “Savanna? What are you doin’ here?” He said as he walked toward the front door.

I only knew of two exes’. I couldn’t remember if he mentioned their names, but obviously she was back for one reason. She was pregnant with his baby and he never told me about it.

Miranda backed away as he headed in my direction. Tears filled my eyes and I turned myself into Ty’s welcoming arms. “Please get me out of here.” I said against his chest.

“Wait! What the hell is going on?” Colt said as he came walking out of the house. I don’t know how Ty got off the porch so fast, but he got me almost to the car before Colt got to me.

His hand grabbed my arm. “You drove all the way here for me?” He asked.

“I guess I should have warned you first. Maybe you could have got your company to stay somewhere else while you played the seduction card on me some more. You think because you grew up with money you can go around f**king girls in different places, telling them they are the only one for you? You are nothing but a liar!” I said as I tried my best to open my car door.

Colt’s still wet leg caught the door. I couldn’t help but notice Ty laughing and shot him a dirty look. This was obviously his dream outcome. Me discovering Colt as a cheater……I was such a fool.

“Savanna dammit, will you calm down?” He tried to grab my arm, but I was crying so bad that I pulled away from him and started walking away from my car. I had no place to run. I just couldn’t handle the pain I was feeling. “Tell me what is goin’ on? Is it because I didn’t tell you about the money? It isn’t important to me. I don’t care about any of it. You are all that matters to me.”

“How can you say that with that pregnant woman standing at your door? Oh my God what kind of person are you? How can you not care about her? Look at her!”

He shook his head again and scrunched his eyebrows like he had no clue what I was talking about. “Of course I care about her, but she has nothin’ to do with us. Savanna please stop walkin’ away. I am in a damn towel here.”

He caught my waist and pulled me around. “Leave me alone. There is nothing left to say. I am going home. Forget you ever knew me. I will not be some home wrecker or be with a cheater. You should know that already.”

He wouldn’t let me go. “What has gotten into you? I am neither of those things and you should know that!”

His green eyes stared holes in me. “I just caught you. Please just stop with the lies. I can’t take anymore.” I tried to calm down but finally broke down and began to sob. “Please get off of me.”

“No! Not until you stop fightin’ me. You obviously drove all this way for me. What the f**k Savanna?”

Finally I heard Ty walking behind us. “I think I can clear this up cuz.”

We both turned to face him. Colt never let go of my arms.

“She thinks Miranda is a girlfriend. She thinks that’s your kid.” Ty said smiling. He could hardly contain the smirk on his face. I felt so betrayed like he had set me up.

Colt relaxed his hold on me and shook his head. Then he even started laughing. “She is my cousin Savanna. My mother’s sister Karen’s daughter. She was here watchin’ the place while I was gone. She lives in a house on the ranch too.”

I put my hands over my face. “But I thought…”

His arms wrapped tightly around me. “Darlin’ I would never do that to you.” With his hands, he grabbed both sides of my face. “You are the only woman that I want.” He brought his lips to my forehead.

My hands reached around his still wet waist. “I am so sorry. I just saw her and then I saw you. You were both wet from a shower. I just assumed you were together and everything about us was a lie.”

“Nothing about us is a lie. I swear it.” He looked directly at me when he said it.

“Get a room!” We heard Ty saying behind us.

Colt grabbed my hand. He looked over to Ty and he pulled us past him. “You could have told her, you ass**le!”

“It was more fun watching her get all pissed at you. I just wanted her to feel the same about you for a few seconds.” Ty said while laughing behind us.

I shot him a dirty look as we hit the porch steps.

Miranda greeted us at the door. “Sorry for the confusion. I was tryin’ to explain before everything got all crazy.”

“Nice to meet you. Sorry I overreacted.” I replied.

“I can see how this would look. I assure you that the father of this child is a piece of shit! He is nothing like my cousin Colt.”

I didn’t know if she meant it to be a joke, so I just smiled and followed behind Colt. Ty and Miranda headed into the kitchen, while Colt pulled me up the stairs. “Aren’t you going to show me around the house?” I asked.

When we got into a large bedroom and he shut the door behind us. My body immediately pressed against the door as Colt’s lips met mine. Our tongues mingled and my hands found his chest. Only moments ago, I thought it had all been a lie, but now I was back in his arms where I wanted to be. His clean skin smelled so good, maybe better than I remembered.

“I can’t believe you are here.” He said as his lips parted from mine. He stared into my eyes. “I tried to call you and then I got the news about my father. I couldn’t stop thinkin’ about you.”

“I didn’t know if you would come back for me. I said things I didn’t mean. I was wrong Colt. I had to come. I needed you to know I would do anything to be with you.” I admitted.

My hands reached inside the towel and I let it drop to his feet. I leaned against the door and bit down on my lip. I heard a groan coming from somewhere deep inside of Colt’s chest. His hands grabbed the bottom of my shirt and ripped it off my head, while I started unbuttoning my shorts.

“God, when you started walkin’ away I didn’t know what to think. I can’t imagine not being able to touch you” Colt said as his tongue drug across my ear.

“I should have trusted you. I let what Ty did get to me. I know you aren’t him.”

His lips found mine again. I felt his tongue brushing against my bottom lip. His erection pressed against my stomach. He was doing it on purpose, so I could feel how much he wanted me. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. The heat between my legs set me in a frenzy. Colt got to the bed and tossed me down on my back. I didn’t have time to sit up. His body came down over top of mine.
