Chapter 16

Genevieve

“That is not your house.” I stare out the windshield of Barrett’s giant truck.

I noticed when he helped me in that he’d had a side step installed on it. Not that it matters because he still had to pick me up so I could get in it.

“A contractor’s home is always the last done.” He shrugs.

“It’s a shack.” I look over at him. “There’s nothing wrong with it, the place is really nice, I’m just shocked. I’ve seen what you’ve done with my house and looked up some of the projects you've completed. I just thought…” I trail off, suddenly feeling rude. Who am I to talk? I lived in an apartment a few weeks ago. If it wasn't for him, I’d be living in a home that wasn't safe—and worse than his place.

“I bought the land to save it. Janet tried to get it protected, but it didn't go through, so I bought it. I guess some rare hummingbird lives on it and they wanted to cut down all the trees and make a shopping center.” He shrugs. “I bought it and dropped this tiny house on it for a place to live. It’s not like I have a family. I was living in a small condo before because it was all I needed at the time. Once I got this land I decided I could stay here instead. I could also help the birds by not allowing someone to destroy it.” He points to a large tree and I look over and see tons of bird feeders hanging from it.

“How are you not already snatched up by a woman?” I ask. He’s so perfect and sweet it’s unreal.

“Because I’ve been waiting for you,” he says easily.

“So, what happens if you don’t stay here?” I hedge, wondering if he will come stay with me, or if some nights he won’t be in my bed. The thought does not sit well in my stomach.

“I’m sure I can find someone to rent this place and feed the birds. Or we could keep it and come visit. It could be a love shack to hide out from our kids when we need a break.”

I stare at him in surprise. He only smiles bigger at me before hopping out of the truck. What can I possibly say to that? I was thinking about how I don’t want him to be away from me, and he just keeps throwing down all these commitments.

I watch as he walks around and opens my door then helps me down. My body slides down his and I wish I could blurt out for him to take me to the courthouse because I want to lock this guy down.

“I guess no one would hear us out here.” I bite my lip and feel my cheeks flush.

“No, they wouldn't.”

I laugh when he throws me over his shoulder and stomps into the little house. In seconds he drops me onto a small bed and settles himself on top of me, his arms bearing his weight.
