Kaelynn and I sat naked on the blanket in front of the fireplace.
“Shit!” I shouted as I jumped up and started looking for my clothes while Kaelynn did the same.
“How do you know someone was at the gate?”
“There is a bell that charms when someone accesses the gate with the code. It’s an alert system my father had put in, and we all have it on our phones. I turned the app on when I got home.”
Kaelynn tried to get back into her jeans as she did a little jumping motion.
“Your bra,” I said as I tossed it over to her. Kaelynn was dressed and heading out of the library while I rushed to put my boots back on. I grabbed the blanket off the floor and stared at it. It needed to be washed.
Shit. Where in the hell is the laundry room again in this house?
“Kaelynn?” I shouted as I made my way to the front foyer. “Kaelynn?”
“It’s not my folks; it looks like it’s Jack.”
My heart jumped a beat as I watched someone coming down the drive on a snowmobile.
“Holy shit, how much has it snowed since earlier? And can I just say that I’m glad your dad put that little security system in?”
She laughed and reached up to kiss me. “Me too. I’m pretty sure Jack wouldn’t take too lightly to you having sex with me on his favorite blanket.”
I held the blanket up. “This blanket? That needs to be washed, now.”
Kaelynn took the blanket and headed toward the kitchen side of the house. Instead of turning left to go to the kitchen, we went right.
“Here’s the laundry room.”
She tossed the blanket into the washer, followed by detergent, and then turned it on.
“There. No evidence of our naughty behavior. We did, however, christen the library.”
With a wiggle of my brows, I pulled her body to mine. “I’m thinking we need to break in every room in this house. I see hours and hours of fun ahead of us. Fifty-thousand square feet of hours, if memory serves me correctly.”
Kaelynn lifted up on her toes and kissed me softly, giggling as she lowered herself back to the floor. “Me too.”
“I see the two of you made up.”
Jack’s voice had us both stepping away from each other.
“Please, don’t act like you’re perfect angels. I’m sure neither of you are virgins.” Jack stared at me and lifted a brow. “You especially. With that pretty-boy face, I’m sure you’ve been around the block once or twice.”
The pretty blonde standing next to Jack slapped him in the stomach.
“Shut up, Jack.” She walked up to Kaelynn and hugged her, then turned her attention on me. “It’s nice to meet you, Nash. I’m Jill.”
I shook her hand and replied, “It’s nice meeting you, Jill. Where exactly did you and Jack meet? Up on the hill? And was the pail of water frozen when you got to it?”
Jack let out a roar of fake laughter then shot me a dirty look. “Ha, like we’ve never heard that before, dickhead.”
“Jack!” Kaelynn and Jill said at the same time.
Laughing, I reached for Jack’s hand. “I’m just screwing with y’all. So, a snowmobile, huh?”
Kaelynn groaned. “No, Nash, no.”
Jack nodded and said, “Tell me you have snow pants.”
