I let out a chuckle. “Seriously? Do you honestly think people would just be walking around the ranch and stumble upon the cabin?”
“No, but I’d feel better knowing you had an alarm.”
My breath stalled at the notion Jase was concerned enough about me to worry.
“Are you hungry?” I asked.
With moves faster than a cougar, Jase was in front of me with both hands on the counter, pinning me in. “I’m hungry . . . but not for casserole.”
My body shuddered as my eyes searched his face. “My dad didn’t scare you away?”
Jase made a shuddering motion before saying, “Oh, he scared me, but nothing would make me walk away from you ever again.”
Lifting my arms, I wrapped them around his neck. I’d never felt so content in my life. “Promise? Because today has been the best day of my life. Even better than Paris. I’d love to have many more days like this.”
“I promise and so would I.” Leaning over, he kissed the tip of my nose before leaning his forehead to mine. “To be honest, this whole day has felt like a dream.”
Meagan’s words replayed in my head as I placed my hands on Jase’s chest. “You don’t feel like we are rushing into this do you? I mean, I guess it’s a little too late to ask that.”
Jase placed his hand on the side of my face and gently glided his thumb across my cheek. “I know how I feel about you and I know how much of stupid idiot I was when I pushed you away. This feels like a second chance and I don’t want to risk playing it safe anymore. Do you?”
My breathing increased as I looked into his eyes. “The only thing I want is for you to make love to me.”
“We have one condom left, sweetness.”
With a wide grin, I replied, “Better make it a good one then.”
Taking me in his arms, Jase carried me over to the couch, the only surface not covered by boxes where he made sweet love to me.
Best. Day. Ever.
My body ached as I stretched my arms above my head and let out a soft moan. Turning to my left, I smiled when I saw Jase sleeping. Lightly using my finger tip, I drew circles across his chest. Last night had been amazing. After Jase made love to me on the couch, we searched for my box with towels and sheets in it. When we took a shower together, I couldn’t believe how Jase took care of me. He totally took control and washed every inch of my body. It felt more like a massage than a shower.
After the shower, we made the bed and collapsed in it. Before falling asleep in each other’s arms, we spent about two hours just talking about everything and anything.
“Waking up to you touching me is probably the best feeling in the world,” Jase mumbled in a sleepy voice.
Resting my chin on his chest, I giggled. “I’d say waking up to you in my bed is the best feeling in the world.”
His arm wrapped around me, pulling me closer to him. “That too. Is today your first day at the new job?”
“Nope. Lauren told me they have a ton of stuff to do today, so she said for me to start after Christmas.”
Pulling his head back and looking at me, Jase wore a wide grin. “So we can spend the day together?”
“Yep.”
“How would you feel about getting this place unpacked some and heading in to meet my parents.”
I was pretty sure my face turned white as I held my breath.
His parents? Oh God.
“Um . . . your parents?”
When he gave me that crooked smile, I knew what was coming. “I had to meet yours, now you have to meet mine. Besides, I want to stay here another night with you and I need clothes.”
I quickly pushed off of him and swung my legs over the bed. “Okay. Let me let this sink in for a few minutes.”
