Reaching over, he grabbed my hand and set it on his lap. Every time we were in his truck, my hand sat pretty on his thigh. He’d rub his fingers back and forth on my hand or sometimes just tap it to the beat of the music playing through the speakers.
He always found a way to have his hands on me in one way or another. At times, it was subtle—his arm on the back of my chair or rubbing my shoulder with his thumb. Or when we were deep in discussion, he’d play with the ends of my hair, listening to every word that came out of my mouth with an intense stare. Or he’d draw pictures on my arm with his finger and make me guess what it was.
All of this just made me miss his touch when we weren’t together, which I knew was his purpose in getting me used to his affection. Another personal favorite of mine was when we’d be around other people, and he’d stand behind me while I sat so he could rub the back of my neck by my hairline.
I’d often catch his brothers or sister looking over with amused expressions. However, Haven never seemed fazed by the attention he gave me. She and I became great friends right away. I never felt like she was years younger than me. If anything, she acted much older than her eighteen years of age.
I also grew close to Jace’s fiancée, Cove. They were both best friends and added me to their group immediately. We got along really well. Haven’s boyfriend, Hayes, who she was living with, owned the downtown bar, The Outlaw. We went there regularly. Haven was the bar manager and helped him run things.
It was super successful, and you could tell they had a great relationship. It was obvious how much they loved each other. Jace was as obsessed with Cove, and they were just as cute together.
What I found fascinating was how different they were despite being siblings. Five guys and one girl and up until Hayes, Haven caught me up on how much they babied her throughout the years. Telling me she wished I’d been around to help her with them.
I wish that too.
“Are you kidnapping me?” I smirked, trying to get a rise out of him, which I enjoyed as well.
Ledger could go from zero to a hundred, especially when it came to me.
“Can’t kidnap the willing.”
We drove for almost two hours before he got off on an exit.
“Okay, now you really got me. Where are we going?”
He winked at me. “You’ll find out when we get there.”
About thirty minutes later, he pulled into what appeared to be a ranch.
“Umm… what are we doing here?”
He parked his truck and then showed me a blindfold.
“I’m going to need you to put this on.”
“But for real? Are you kidnapping me?”
“I wouldn’t bring you here if I was.”
“Oh, so you’ve thought about it?”
With a cunning grin, he replied, “Once or twice.”
“How noble of you.”
“It’s just my plan B.”
I jerked back. “What’s plan A?”
“If I told you”—he kissed my lips, joking—“I’d have to kill you.”
He did this a lot now, kissing me whenever he wanted. We weren’t together in that way, but I never stopped him. I liked his mouth on mine.
A lot.
“Well, I am pregnant with your baby.”
“So you see my predicament?”
