“I’ve never seen such a colorful sunrise in my life,” I said while Blake wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on my head.
“I don’t think I have either. Tucker and Charlie moved out to the hill country for all the right reasons.”
With a giggle, I added, “And that’s why Nash and Kaelynn are following in their footsteps.”
We stood there, watching and listening to the sounds of birds and wildlife waking up with the sun. It was one of the most peaceful moments of my life. I was in the arms of the man I loved, surrounded by God’s beauty.
The sun slowly peeked up over the hills, and night became day.
“It’s so peaceful. Even before the sun started coming up, I felt so calm sitting out here. Relaxed like never before.”
I lifted my head and looked back at him. “Are you sure that isn’t from the two times we made love last night?”
He winked and flashed me a grin that made my knees weak. “I have no doubt that had something to do with it. Just hearing everything, though—the creek running down below, the animals waking up, the wind blowing through the trees—makes me want to stay here longer instead of leaving today.”
“I don’t have any patients booked next week. We can stay here as long as you want.”
Blake’s gaze met mine. “We’d be hiding.”
“What’s wrong with hiding every once in a while?”
“Do you remember once you told me you didn’t need me to come in and save you? Just being there with you was what you wanted and needed.”
I nodded.
“That’s how I feel. A small part of me wants to run again like I ran to New York—run and not ever come back. The bigger part of me wants to start building our life together. I want to design a house with you. I want to start thinking about when we want to have kids. Where we want to live. I don’t want to be in a condo in downtown Austin. I want space for your birds and our kids.”
Turning in his arms, I watched him as he looked out over the landscape.
“I want to build you birdhouses and bird feeders. I want to get a horse.”
“A horse?” I asked with a lighthearted laugh.
He shrugged and looked down at me. “We could have anything we wanted.”
My arms wrapped around his neck, causing him to look at me.
“The only thing I want in this world is you. You, Blake Greene, make me happier than I have ever been in my life.”
He leaned down and picked me up into his arms.
“Let’s go take a shower.”
My lower stomach pooled with heat. Showers with Blake meant orgasms for me.
“I DON’T LIKE the kitchen.”
Nash and I exchanged a quick look before I focused back on our client.
“Okay, what don’t you like about it this time?”
If she noticed the rough edge in my voice, she ignored it.
“It’s all wrong. I mean, how am I supposed to entertain people in a kitchen that small? You need to remove the island.”
Mrs. Delany’s husband moaned and scrubbed his hand over his face.
“If they remove the island, where are people supposed to sit or put their drinks down? Or their food, for that matter, since they will be in a damned kitchen!”
