Page 29 of Her Grumpy Lumberjack

We hold hands as we walk through the forest toward our cabin, Moose racing alongside us. The afternoon is slowly giving way to evening, the sunset streaking the sky with vivid stripes of pink.

“I have something waiting for you on the table,” I say as we head up the porch steps.

“You’re really spoiling me with all the surprises today, huh?”

I chuckle as I unlock the door, but before Sienna can walk inside, I pick her up and carry her bridal-style over the threshold, making her giggle.

“Welcome home, princess.”

I set her down and she laughs when she sees what’s on the table.

An enormous cherry pie and a new pair of panties to replace the ones I burned.

“Thank you, Chase.” She inspects the underwear. “These are perfect. And that pie looks amazing!”

“There’s plenty more where that came from. You’re a Cherry Hollow girl now, sugar.”

“Cherry Hollow girl and proud.” Sienna grins, something naughty flashing across her face. “But right now there’s something I want even more than cherry pie.”

I know exactly what she means. It’s been on my mind ever since I finally set eyes on my girl’s gorgeous curves again. My cock has been aching for her all damn week, and now she’s back, I’m getting harder with every second.

I close the gap between us, kissing up her neck. “Tell me what you want, Sienna.”

“I want you to take me to bed, Grumpy Forest Man. Now.”

With a groan of desire, I pick her up and carry my girl to our bed, feeling like the luckiest man in the whole damn world.

EPILOGUE

SIENNA

“Bug spray!” my sister practically shouts down the phone. “I forgot bug spray.”

“Okay, so add it to the list,” I say, struggling not to laugh.

“What about bear spray?”

“Sure, go nuts. Bring all the sprays.”

Every time my sister comes to visit, it’s like she’s preparing for the end of the world.

“Do you think Isla should bring her own spray?”

“I’m sure you can share?—”

“No, I think she needs her own spray. What if there are two bears?”

I cough to disguise my snort. Megan has visited Cherry Hollow several times now, but this time she’s bringing her new girlfriend along. I’m excited to meet Isla, even if my sister seems resigned to the fact that they will both be eaten by bears within minutes of arrival.

“Okay, I think that’s everything,” Megan says. “We should get there at around midday.”

“Perfect, we’ll have lunch waiting. I’m so excited to see you!”

“Me too, Sienna. See you tomorrow! Give my love to Chase.”

“Will do.”

I end the call with a smile, my heart soaring at the thought of seeing Megan. We visit each other often, and she has finally accepted my decision to move out of Denver. It took her a while to get used to the idea, but she’s seen first-hand how happy I am with Chase. They’re total opposites on paper, but they get along well, and I know my sister is happy for us. She might be a little nature-averse, but even a city girl like Megan has to admit that Cherry Hollow is a beautiful town, and I think she secretly likes it here.
