“Put me down,” I shriek, my laughter back full force. “I’m going to puke all over your back.”
The palm of his hand connects with my ass, and it has me shrieking louder.
I realize he’s walking toward the water, and I begin to squirm. “Don’t you dare throw me in the lake.”
“Who does your pussy belong to?” he asks again, his voice thick with laughter.
“You! God, it belongs to you. Put me down!”
Jase lets my body slide down the front of his, and the second my feet touch the grass, I slap him upside the head and dart away.
It’s totally unfair that Jase is so much taller. He catches up to me in no time, and I let out a screech of laughter as his arms wrap around me. He takes us down to the ground, and I manage to squirm free.
“Christ, you’re like an eel,” Jase chuckles.
Crawling away from him, another shriek bursts from my lips as his hand connects with my butt.
Jase pushes me onto my back, and I struggle to gasp for air from all the laughing.
A shadow of a memory creeps around the edge of my mind, and my happiness dims a little.
“What?” Jase instantly pics up on my change of mood.
Staring up at Jase, I know he’s so much stronger than me, but the thought doesn’t scare me. He just gave me another thing back I thought I’d lost.
Lifting my hand to his jaw, I say, “I trust you.”
“Yeah?” A look of confusion furrows his brow.
I consider my words, wanting to explain it to him properly. “Even though you can, I know you’ll never hurt me.”
He grins down at me. “Unless I’m spanking your ass.”
I chuckle. “You’re such a caveman.”
Jase grips hold of me, and pulling me to my feet, he throws me over his shoulder again.
“Come on. I just ate,” I complain even though there’s a huge grin on my face. Then my eyes land on his perfect butt. “Nice ass.”
“Enjoy the view, babe,” he chuckles. Jase walks us back to the tree, and we get comfortable again.
We stare at the view around us, and after a long silence, I ask, “What are you thinking about?”
“You. Me. Our future.”
I lean my head to the side so I can see his profile. “What about our future?”
“Whether you’ll be okay with the long hours I’ll have to work,” he murmurs, keeping his eyes on something in the distance.
“Well,” I sit up and turn around to face him, “I can always be your PA.”
A grin instantly spreads over his face. “So, you like the idea of hot office sex?”
With a smile, I shake my head. “I’m not opposed to it, but I was thinking more along the lines that we’ll get to spend time together, and I’ll be able to help you carry the load.”
Jase tilts his head, and his gaze lingers on me for a while. “You want to help me?”
I scoot a little closer, and taking hold of his hand, I pull it to my lap. I brush my fingertips over the veins stretching up his arm. “I know you’ll be under a lot of pressure, and I just want to do what I can to make things easier for you.”
Jase narrows his eyes, a serious expression settling on his face. “What if it fucks up our relationship?”
I shrug. “Your grandfather and Stephanie made it work. Also, your dad seemed fine working with his stepmother.”
The worry in Jase’s gaze begins to lessen. “Fuck, babe. You really want to work with me?”
I lean forward and press a kiss to his mouth. “Yeah.” Pulling back, I lock my eyes on his. “That way, I can make sure no one hits on my man.”
“Yeah?” he lets out a chuckle, “What will you do if one of the young secretaries try their luck?”
I move onto my knees and glare at Jase. “I’ll throat punch you.”
“Why me?” he asks incredulously.
“Because they should know right off the bat you’re taken, and none of them stand a chance.”
Jase’s mouth lifts at the corners into a sexy grin. “It’s hot seeing you all possessive. How do you feel about mirrors in the bedroom because I really want you watching me while I pound into your pussy.”
Letting out a burst of laughter, I climb to my feet. “I guess we’ll have to see if we can get mirrors delivered to our room.”
Jase is up in a flash, and I have to quicken my pace to keep up with him as he rushes back to our ranch house.
JASE
“You seriously got a mirror?” Mila asks.
I position the free-standing mirror at the foot of the bed. Grinning, I turn to her. “Yeah, get your ass naked and on the bed.”
I yank my shirt over my head and quickly step out of my jeans and boxers. When she takes too long for my liking, I move closer, and grabbing hold of her hips, I toss her onto the bed. Mila lets out a surprised shriek and then stares at me as I grip hold of her jeans, yanking them down her legs.
