I gave Paul a weak smile and
said, “I have to run but maybe I’ll talk to you soon.” I quickly turned
and headed toward Ari, who was standing there giving me a shit-eating
grin.

Ari was one of Jessie’s
closest friends here in Mason, along with Ellie, Heather, and Amanda. They

My heart started pounding

I laughed and pushed her

“Oh my God, Ari. I don’t

I nodded my head. “No, it’s
not just sexual. I mean, a big part of it is of course, and the fact that I
pretty much threw myself at him tonight has my stomach dropping. But
there’s more to it. When he enters a room, I swear I have to take a deep breath.
He brushes by me or touches me in the slightest way and my stomach flips
around like I’m on a damn thrill ride. His eyes…oh my God. I get
totally lost in them. I swear—if he had told me to strip down and let him make
love to me on the dance floor, I would have done it.”

Kelly is married to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has a knack for making her laugh almost daily and supports her crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason…he claims it’s because he loves her!She’s also a mom to an amazing daughter who is constantly asking for something to eat while her fingers move like mad on her cell phone sending out what is sure to be another very important text message.
In her spare time she loves to sit in her small corner overlooking the Texas hill country and write.
One of her favorite things to do is go for hikes around her property with Gus….her chocolate lab and the other man in her life, and Rose, her golden retriever. When Kelly is not outside helping the hubby haul brush, move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for her that day, you’ll find her inside reading, writing or watching HGTV.
