Mason smiled. It was easy to talk to Levi through messages and the cowardly part of him wished he could have the upcoming conversation with Levi over the phone. That wasn’t fair to Levi though. When Mason came clean, he needed to see how Levi reacted.

‘I’m glad. Can I see you?’Mason’s stomach was in knots. He wanted Levi to agree but a part of him hoped Levi would have other plans.

‘Yes. When?’

Mason had to think of everything he needed to do.‘Two hours?’Mason requested.

‘Perfect. Should I meet you at your cabin?’

Oh hell no! Not with Jason hanging around.

‘How about the tree that no longer has a bullet hole in it?’Mason teased. They both knew damn well that tree had been shot.

‘LOL! I will meet you there in two hours.’

Mason slid his phone into his back pocket. He needed to get to town. He had supplies that needed to be picked up from the hardware store he’d been waiting on. He could also grab moregroceries for him and Jason and maybe something to make a picnic for Levi and him. If he hurried, he’d be back on time.

“Was that your Daddy?”

Mason jumped. Turning slowly, he made certain Jason could see his glare.

“What? You want him to Daddy you so hard,” Jason taunted.

Why had Mason thought his brother would be helpful? He should have known better. Jason loved to give him shit.

“Fine.” Jason sighed. “What are your plans for today?”

“I need to go to town and grab a few things then I’m meeting with Levi,” Mason said.

“I’ll head to town with you. I want to get a look around anyway.”

Mason hesitated.

“What?”

“This is where I’m making my home,” he explained.

“I’m aware of that. That is why I’m here. To make sure your new home is safe, and you can stay here.”

“No getting arrested? Bar fights? Orgies in the town square?”

“Is there a town square?” Jason asked.

“No.”

“Then that’s one less worry for you,” Jason stated.

“You know what I mean,” Mason responded.

“I won’t get arrested or start an orgy in the middle of town,” Jason promised.

Mason lifted a brow.

“I can’t make promises about the bar fight. I might get bored if you’re gone too long.”

He groaned before going back into his cabin and grabbing his keys.

Jason was climbing into the passenger side of the truck by the time Mason made it outside. He locked the door. Now that he’d already had the issue with a window being left open, Mason knew he needed to be vigilant about his place. Nothing had been missing but Mason didn’t like the idea that someone might have been inside his home.
