I sprint all the way out to the back horse pen where Andrea stands with two beautiful horses. I can instantly tell which one is Jake’s, the giant draft horse that clearly says alpha male and ought to have “wide load” branded to his ass. Roman Numeral certainly fits Jake’s personality to a T.

I hear Jake’s loud feet jogging up behind me and turn my head over my shoulder. It must have taken a few extra minutes to handle the hardened wood in his pants. I felt bad having to leave him like that, but I knew if I didn’t stop, I might do something I wasn’t sure I was ready to do just yet. I love sex, and I’ve had Jake’s image in my head all these years with the number of guys I’ve slept with. After Stone’s attack, I knew trusting men would be hard, but that was before all this happened. Before I came home. Before Jake came back into my life. He wasn’t subtle about it either. It was like an avalanche coming down the mountain.

He’s still in love with me, and as I stare back at his stupid grin and running form coming at me, I know it’s there plain as day. I’ve never stopped loving him either.

Jake makes me smile. He’s helped me in just the short time I’ve been home to let go of some of the demons that have plagued my head for the last couple of months. It’s strange how the one person I wanted to avoid at all costs before coming home is the one person who has been able to help me.

Sometimes life throws you a major curveball in order for you to figure out shit. I know jack-shit about baseball, but I’d say this has been more like a knuckleball since I came home. That thing dancing all over the place before I finally connect and hit it out of the park. That’s what this chick needs to do. I cannot leave here the same way I came back. Juicy Lucy needs to resurface, and right now, I can see the final stretch to getting back there, and he’s standing in front of me.

“What took you so long? I was about to mount that horse without you.” I laugh as I turn to head over to where Andrea is standing with another girl whose back is facing me. I barely take two steps before strong arms are wrapped around my waist, and I’m being hoisted over his shoulder. “Jake! Oh my God! Put me down!” I shriek.

One hand holds on for dear life to his belt buckle, and my other hand keeps my hat attached to my head. Jake’s heavy feet make long strides over the dirt and rocks, yet he effortlessly keeps me over his shoulder. His build is much more solid than I remember from high school. It’s obvious in the size of his shoulders and biceps alone that firefighter training has done wonders to his physique.
