Falling for Love

by Vicki Green

  “Yeah, okay.” I look around at my guys. They’ve all been with me for a few years now. Each one knows their job. They’re good at what they do. We’re fortunate to have them. “Okay, the trailer will be pulling up soon and I’ll be working with Irish off and on. This is the biggest job we’ve had yet so I’ve pulled in a few more crews to help out but you all are the main crew. They know that. Just play nice with them, okay?” They all chuckle a bit. “This one would normally take several months but they want it pushed. We can do that but can’t skimp at anything along the way. I know you all won’t do that but help me keep an eye on the other guys, okay?” They nod in unison. “We’re the lead crew and I’ll be working with their crew chiefs and I’ll remind them.” I look around at everyone. My crew. My friends. My eyes stop on Brock and I smile. My brother. “Okay….” I clap my hands together. “Let’s get this started!” They all sound off with a clap and go back to what they were doing. I turn around at the sound of a loud engine, the foreman trailer being pulled into the area by a large truck. I look to my left and point at the area I want it set up. It turns immediately, heading in that direction. Good. Things are setting up nicely.

  “Boss?” I turn around to see Tom walking towards me. He turns and points over to our right off in the distance a ways. “The cleaning crew missed a small area there.”

  I slap him on his back. “Great job. You help finish setting up. I’ll get that later myself. Don’t want you all to get behind schedule.” He nods and smiles then walks back to the truck. So much for the cleaning crew doing their job one hundred percent. Pisses me off. Guess this large corporation didn’t pull in all the best like I thought.

  I turn around and start walking towards the trailer. Once I get closer, the truck door opens, the engine even louder as it idles. “Bob! Nice to see ya,” I yell over the sound. He walks towards the trailer as I meet up with him. I watch as he begins to unfasten it from his truck.

  “Kane! How’s it hangin’?” He gives me a cocky grin and spits on the ground.

  I chuckle. “Good here. Thanks for bringing that over.”

  He finishes and stands, wiping his hands on his jeans. “No problem, man. Pops later tonight? I’m sure I could use some cold ones after today.” I walk over and give him a play punch on his arm. He hands me the keys.

  “Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. See you there.” He gives me a nod and heads back to his truck. I walk over to the trailer, unlock the door, and walk inside. A musty smell invades me instantly. “Damn.” I open the windows in back and one in the front to create a cross breeze then set up the long table underneath the long set of windows. I run back out to my truck, grab the plans, and go back inside, laying them out on the table, using whatever I can find in the storage locker against the side wall to anchor it down on all corners. I lean over and start my planning when the door opens causing a cool breeze to blow into the small area. I turn my head and see Irish walking in the door. “Leave it open for a bit. Smells in here.” I smile.

  She nods, leaving it open, and walks over to the desk. “Oh, my God! This place is a mess.” She walks over to the storage cabinet and takes out a roll of paper towels and some cleaner then goes back to the desk and starts cleaning.

  “Yeah, the whole place needs to be cleaned. Make a list of supplies you need and I’ll get someone to run and get them.” She nods and continues her cleaning. I stand, turn around, and lean against the table, my hands holding onto it for leverage. “Your man here?”

  She looks up and smiles happily. “Yes, we rode together.”

  “Good. He’s late.” I give her my cocky grin, letting her know I’m okay with it. At least for today. I know they’ve been through some rough times lately so I’ll be nice this once. After hearing she lost the baby, I felt really bad for them. I’m not as heartless as some think I am. I also figured out, a while back, that she had feelings for me. I love her like a sister so I could never share those feelings. She’s always hated my womanizing ways so she’d never have given herself to me anyway. Thank fuck. That would just be – ew, ya know? I don’t do incest and that would be what it would be like. I shudder at the thought. Oh, don’t get me wrong. She’s a fucking knockout, has that snarky spirit, strong and feisty, just the way I like ‘em. I’m glad she and Caylan got together finally. Couldn’t have made a better match. Two of my best friends together. It’s like they were made for each other. There I go, sounding like a girl.

  “Yeah, well. It was hard for us to get outta bed this morning, if you know what I mean.” She gives me a wink and I laugh. Snarky.

  “Yo! Boss!” I turn my eyes to the doorway. Brock’s standing there, hands up on the top of the frame. I give him a nod. “Scaffolding is almost up. Crew two is starting on the flooring.”

  “Good. Keep an eye on them and get the boys to help. Sooner we get that done, sooner we can start on the framing.” He nods then leaves. I turn around and study the plans again. Gonna be a long day. Yep, I’ll be ready for some cold ones afterwards and maybe I’ll get lucky again tonight. My cock hardens just thinkin’ about it.

  Later on in the day, it turns hotter than hell. I remove my shirt and leave it in the trailer. The sun is bright as I head over to the bobcat. Time to clear out the patch that the cleaning crew forgot. Bastards. I remove my tool belt and lay it on the ledge of the bobcat and start to climb in when I hear the revving of a sports car. The sound of gravel being tossed around makes me turn my head. I twist, holding on to the metal pole of the bobcat, and turn towards the sound. Who in the hell is that and why would they drive a red convertible Jag onto a construction site? Kinda stupid if you ask me. They park by the trailer and open the door. Long legs stretch out as dainty feet strapped in black high heels, press down onto the ground. My first thought — damn those legs go on forever and would feel great wrapped around me, those heels digging into the flesh of my butt as I pound into her. My second thought — why in the hell would someone where those heels to a construction site? A well-manicured hand covers the top of the door, the sun shining on red polished long fingernails as a woman steps out. Feeling my stare, she turns her head, long dark black hair sweeping around her in the breeze. Fuck me. Who in the hell is that? She pulls down her sunglasses with one hand. Dark brown eyes glow at me, full luscious red lips give me a smirk, making my cock hard as a rock instantly. I lick my lips and she gives me a scowl. Feisty. Seductive. Damn! She’s wearing a black satiny type dress, her long legs start walking towards the trailer. What the fuck?

  I climb off the bobcat, my day already delayed, and I jog to the trailer just as she steps inside, closing the door behind her. Who in the hell does she think she is? Anger swells but then I have to stop myself from adjusting my cock that’s also aching to be inside her. Mixed emotions plague me as I reach the door. I open it with force. It slams against the trailer as I enter. She’s standing behind the desk, leaning over Irish. Huh? They both look up at my loud entrance. Irish gives me a smirk and Beauty’s eyes widen, a small smile curving those full lips that I want to suck on. Badly.

  “Kane. This is Brianna Daniels. You know of Daniels Corporation?” I look at Irish and lower my brows in confusion. “You know the corporation we’re partnering with to build this huge building for?” She looks at me like I’ve lost my mind. Maybe I have. I reach up under my construction hat and scratch my head.

  Beauty stands and walks around the desk, my eyes instantly scour her body, watching those long legs move towards me. “Bria. And you are?” My eyes move back up and see her hand outstretched towards me. I remove my hand from my head and wipe it off on my jeans and shake her dainty hand.

  “Kane Evans.” I continue to shake until she tugs her hand and I finally release it. Real smooth, Kane. What in the hell is wrong with me? I’m great with women. They fall all over me. I’ve never been nervous around one. Until now.

  “Good. Well, Kane. And what do you do around here?” She walks back over and leans over Irish’s shoulder again.

  I shift my stance. “
I’m the crew chief and foreman.” I give her my own smirk, letting her know that she doesn’t intimidate me. Not in the least. Okay, she really does but hell if I’ll let her know that.

  She looks down at the computer, points to something and then looks back up at me. “Good. I guess we’ll be seeing a lot of each other.” She looks back down and says something to Irish. Irish nods and talks back but hell if I’m paying attention. I just stare at Beauty. Damn, she’s fine. I envision me grabbing her long silky hair, winding it until I have a good hold then tugging it hard, pulling her head back. Those fucking brown eyes gaze at me full of her desire for me. She licks her full lips as her eyes look down at my achingly hard cock. She wants it. Bad.

  “Uh. Kane?”

  My eyes snap to hers, and I swallow hard.

  “Don’t you have work to do? This building isn’t going to build itself.” I give her a nod and look at Irish. She’s got the biggest smirk on her face, her brows raised and eyes wide. She’s taunting me.

  I turn around and practically run out of the trailer, closing the door behind me. Fuck. I’m in so much trouble.

  The End

  Come join Kane, Bria, and the gang as the story continues….

  Longing For Love (Beyond Love series #3)

  By

  Vicki Green

  Love is harsh,

  Love is cruel,

  Love is blind,

  Love is everything

  Kane Evans’ family is not rich with wealth but in love and family. However, he has a way with women. His hot and sexy body is maintained by working out and doing the construction he loves. He spends the weekend nights out with his buddies and Sundays are always reserved for family time. Tattoos, black scruff and brown eyes make him look tougher than he is when inside he has the heart of gold and immense love for his family and friends.

  Brianna Daniels’ family owns the best consulting firm and they are on top of the market in their expertise. Expanding their business, they are constructing a new building off the gulf of Florida. Her job is to oversee the construction and ensure the deadline is met for completion but must also maintain her clients who will be housed in the building. At twenty-two, not only is Bria one of the richest women for her age but one of the most beautiful. She doesn’t have time for men because she is all about succeeding and making her family proud. Something she’s been trying to do all her life.

  What happens when you put a hot and sexy construction worker who loves women with a rich and pretentious, beautiful woman who won’t give men the time of day? You get one hell of a cat and mouse chase.
