As he leaned over to fasten my seat belt, he whispered. “You look beautiful tonight baby.”

“Thank you.” I murmured, smiling shyly at him.

It was only a few minutes’ drive to the lake, but Mason held my hand the whole way. Because of the drama with Amber, we only had about ten minutes to watch the sunset, but it was spectacular. Mason had brought a duvet which he lay on the flatbed of his truck, and we sat together with our backs to the cab entwined in each other’s arms. “Thank you for bringing me here, it’s beautiful,” I told him, quietly.

“I thought you’d like it.” He replied with a smile. We sat in comfortable silence before he asked me. “Will you tell me about Mia? What was she like?” He must have felt me stiffen in his arms. “You don’t have to sweetheart. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“You haven’t upset me; I’m just not used to talking about her, but I want to.” I turned slightly so that I was still in his arms but facing him.

“She was great, a pain in my ass most of the time, but I wouldn’t have changed her for the world. She rescued me on the first day of primary school. I was stood alone on the playground, and she ran over to me, telling me we’d be the best of friends. She was the complete opposite of me, loud and outgoing. Everyone loved her. We were like sisters, we did everything together, her parents worked long hours so she spent a lot of time at our house and I always hoped she’d end up with Jack, I’m sure he liked her.” I gave him a small smile and snuggled into his chest. “There was never any question that we wouldn’t go to the same university, we were studying different subjects but still managed to spend our free time together, and we shared a house with a couple of other girls. We were in our second year of university when the accident happened.”

“What were you studying? Are you planning on going back?” Mason asked me.

“Yeah, I guess, eventually. I was studying English Literature. I’ll probably stay closer to home rather than go back to Manchester. Too many memories, good and bad.” I let out a laugh.

“What’s so funny?” Mason asked me, smiling.

“I was just thinking about fresher’s week in our first year. Mia was a nightmare that week, she made me go to every party that was on. I had to hold her hair back while she threw up on three separate nights that week!” I sat up on my knees and faced Mason. “Thank you for asking me about Mia, it feels really good to talk about her.”

“I would have loved to have met her.” He leaned over and kissed me on the lips.

“She would have loved you! She had a thing for cowboys. Actually, she had a thing for boys in general!”

Mason laughed. “And what about you? Do you have a thing for cowboys?” He pushed me back gently so that I was lying on the duvet, his body pressing down on mine. My breathing accelerated, and it felt like a million butterflies were dancing in my stomach.

“Just one cowboy in particular,” I told him quietly, reaching my hands up, threading them through his dark hair.

“Anyone, I know?” He teased.

“I think you know him,” I whispered, pulling his head down to mine. I kissed him hungrily, and he quickly responded, deepening the kiss, his tongue invading my mouth. He pulled away slightly and kissed down my neck, nipping at my skin with his teeth before soothing it with his kisses. I moaned and arched my back as his fingers brushed my breast on their way down my body. I gasped as his hand traced up my bare leg and under my dress, stopping on the inside of my thigh.

Mason brought his lips to my ear and whispered. “Is this okay Libby?” I nodded, my body was on fire, and I didn’t trust myself not to beg him to touch me. His hand moved further up my thigh towards my knickers, his fingers gently brushing across them. His mouth was back on mine, and I moaned against his lips. His fingers slowly began to rub against me, and I felt the same build up low in my stomach as I had last time. His hand slipped inside my knickers, and he gently pushed a finger inside me, his thumb now stroking me.

“You're so wet, baby.” He whispered in my ear.

His words turned me on even more, and I writhed beneath him, my heart racing and my breaths coming out in gasps. His other hand came down to my breast and began pinching my nipple through my dress, this pushed me over the edge, and I called out his name as I came.

“You are so beautiful when you come Libby.” He murmured, kissing around my jaw before taking my mouth again. I blushed at his words, but thankfully it was dark enough that he couldn’t see me.

“I want to touch you, Mason,” I whispered, feeling his erection against me.

“As much as I want you to sweetheart.” He said, resting his forehead on mine. “We need to go and meet the others. I don’t want you to miss seeing Jack.”

“I suppose.” I pouted, dropping my head back on the duvet. Mason laughed, lying down next to me he pulled me into his arms.

“We have plenty of time sweetheart there’s no rush.”

I bit down on my bottom lip, suddenly nervous. “Can I stay at yours tonight?”

“I was hoping you would baby.” He paused. “Don’t be nervous to ask me Lib, I always want you around, just because you’re staying over though it doesn’t mean I’m expecting anything to happen.”

“You’re incredible, you know that?” I whispered, leaning over to kiss him.

He sat up, smiling down at me. “I think you’re pretty incredible sweetheart.” He paused, staring into my eyes. “We’d better go.” He sighed, reaching for my hands he pulled me up and I scooted off the back of the truck. He folded up the duvet and held the passenger side door open for me as I climbed in.

We arrived at the bar ten minutes later and spotted Jack, Brody, Josh and Savannah sitting at a table on the other side of the dance floor. Thankfully I didn’t see Averi, and I hoped for Savannah’s sake that she didn’t put in an appearance. Mason led me across the dance floor, his hand encased in mine. No one from our group had seen us arrive and as we made our way over to them, I watched as Josh and Savannah chatted easily with each other, the tension from the rodeo seemingly gone. I would go as far as to say that there was even some flirting going on between the two of them, they were sitting pretty close to each other.

“Look at Sav and Josh, they look like they are getting on well,” I whispered in Mason’s ear. I saw him glance at the table before nodding at me.
