My heart does that little flutter again, and I need no convincing. I’m ready for this sexy fucking man to take me home; those tatted-up muscles are causing naughty thoughts to scream inside my head. And right now, I need him to give me more of what I’ve been missing.

I stand and pull her into a hug, “I’ll call you tomorrow,” and my body thrums in excitement, knowing what’s in store for me when we get back to Jaydon’s place.

Haleigh grins, holding a hand on her hip while pointing a teasing finger in my direction. “You better.”

My cheeks hurt from the smile I’ve had on my face all evening. Gossiping with my bestie is the absolute best. And now, it’s even brighter when Jaydon steps closer and reaches for me, pulling me effortlessly into his side—like it’s been taking all his strength to stay away, just so I could have my time with Haleigh.

Like he just can't get enough of me…us.

And honestly, neither can I.

Chapter 27

Jaydon

When the land beside Haleigh and Ryan's farm went up for sale, I knew it was going to be mine—ours.

Forty acres is plenty enough to build a house and raise a family.

That’s exactly what I plan on doing.

In the months since Ellie's accident, she and I have been focusing on our relationship. She's still as feisty as ever. That's what I love about her. Yep, I love that blond-haired, blue-eyed bombshell.

She’s finally all fucking mine and I plan on making her my wife.

She glances over at me.

She's riding in the passenger seat of my truck, looking beautiful as ever, with her blond hair down in waves, flying around in the breeze with the windows down.

She's absolute perfection.

Ellie

“Where the hell are we going, Jay?”

I cut my eyes over him, studying his gorgeous profile, and he's eating it up. He knows I could stare at him for days. He bites back a grin when he finally glances my way. Mischief flickers across his face, not giving a single clue as to where he’s taking me.

“Just ride, Peachy. We'll be there shortly.”

“Jay, we’ve been driving on the back roads, going in circles for the past twenty minutes. Are you planning on taking me into the woods and having your way with me?” I tease, but I would definitely be on board with that right now, especially with the sight of him.

His hand white-knuckles the steering wheel as he chuckles along with me. This man’s arms drive me fucking wild, and the way he casually rests one while he drives is turning me on. I’m seriously considering making him pull to the side of the road so I can climb into his lap.

“You’re eye-fucking me again, Ellie.” He glances my way but quickly focuses back on the road, looking sexy as hell with his ball cap on backwards.

I pretend to be aggravated and tease, “Well, if you were paying attention to the road, you wouldn’t know this, would you?”

He reaches over to me, grabbing my thigh. “You’re too far away from me.” Butterflies dance in my belly at his announcement, along with his touch. “Lean over towards me, Baby.”

My smile is probably blinding. The things he makes me feel are so out of this world. Just the simple sound of his voice has me melting on a daily basis. I lean over the console and wrap my hands around his thick, carved muscles. Just touching him soothes me. The connection we have is unlike any other. I lean up, kissing him below his ear as he continues to drive.

“Peachy, don’t start that. I’m already fucking hard.” He leans over, adjusting himself beneath his jeans.

I giggle.

We make the turn on the same road we’ve driven at least five times already today—the same road that leads us to Haleigh and Ryan's farm.

“Are we going to your sisters for dinner or something?” I lift my head off his shoulder to ask. “You told me you were taking me out for dinner.” I eye him suspiciously, rubbing my hand along his forearm.
