“Good, because I love you too, sunshine. Just wish I said it sooner so we didn’t waste these past few days.”
And so, we fell.
He loved me. And bought the land for me.
I tossed my arms around him, Jax pulling me close. He breathed in deeply, and I just wanted to kiss him. So I did. Pulling back, I kissed him with all of the passion that was Sicily, all of the longing that had been our time apart since, and all of the love that I knew he had for me as evidenced by what he’d just given up.
That last thought had me pulling away.
“Can you afford to buy the land and not sell it?”
“I got a really good deal on it. Dave is pretty fond of you.”
Of course. Dave had the ultimate authority over the purchase price, and though part of me wanted the details, those could wait.
“I’m pretty fond of you too,” he said, kissing my nose.
“Good thing, because you’re not getting rid of me, Ranger. Ever.”
“Promise?”
My heart could not have been any more filled than it was at this moment. When you knew, you knew.
“Promise.”

JAX
“I can’t believe it’s June already.”
Natalie let the screen door slam behind her as she joined me on the deck. Nothing like a lazy Saturday morning watching the haze linger and then dissipate on the lake with the woman I loved.
“Big month,” I said as she plopped down into the chair next to me. Immediately Nat crossed her legs. Smiling, I reminded myself there was no need to pluck her from that very adorable position and carry her to our bedroom. I’d woken up already my favorite way possible, with Natalie’s hand wrapped around my cock.
Hard. Ready. Just for her.
If there was anything I loved more than rolling over to my girlfriend climbing on top of me, riding me as the sunlight just barely peeked through our windows, it was the sight of her sitting with me like this.
“Big month,” she agreed, pulling me back to the present.
“How do you feel about them breaking ground?”
“Fine,” she said, taking a sip of coffee. “Better than fine. Really excited. I still can’t believe we’ll be living there. I’ve loved that spot for as long as I can remember.”
“Tell me about it.”
Nat smiled. “I guess that was a big part of me not being able to let go. To imagine a bed and breakfast on my spot.”
“You think?” I teased. We’d talked about it more than once, so this wasn’t any big surprise.
“Anyway,” she said, clearly wanting to move on from the thing that brought us together, but that almost tore us apart too. “I wonder who will be there tonight?”
Mazzie’s bar was bringing in a singer from her hometown, and by the way she talked about him, we were in for a real treat.
“Mason’s off at nine and plans to stop by.”
“Cool.”
