— TEN —

JANUARY came and went. Dani’s toothbrush found a permanent presence in his bathroom and at least a few times a week, she slept wrapped around him in his bed.

Jake wanted to ask her to move in with him, but given that she still hadn’t told her family they were dating, that seemed a bit presumptuous.

And he wasn’t sure they were even dating, exactly. They’d gone to Owen Sound once to see a movie, and out to dinner another night in Port Elgin. Both towns safely south of the peninsula, away from prying eyes. A grand total of two dates in more than a month.

Used for sex wasn’t exactly what he was thinking, but every time she slept over, he was reminded that he’d built this house so they could raise a family in it.

Dani didn’t seem to be future-focused at all. It might help if you asked her what she wanted. But he couldn’t. He was terrified that her answer might not be the same as his.

And the first conversation they needed to have, before he started popping the big questions, was really, hey, can I not be your dirty little secret? But he was a fucking coward, because he couldn’t ask her that, either.

So when she texted him to say she was coming back to his place between night shifts, to sleep, he told her to let herself in, but he’d be on the job site all day. Sorry I can’t get away, he lied. He was the boss. If she thought about it, she’d probably know that didn’t make sense.

Jake gritted his teeth. She wouldn’t think about it. She was totally happy with the easy nothingness of their arrangement.

The way she makes you feel isn’t nothing, asshole. There was a big part of his conscience that knew he was wrong to be pissed off. But damn it, talking about feelings wasn’t anything he had experience with, and when it was so easy—and perfect—between them physically, he selfishly wanted them to magically be on the same page for the rest of it.

If you make it home for an early dinner, I’ll give you a dirty blow job before I leave for work.

He was totally stupid for not thinking that was the best idea ever. Tempting, gorgeous. He stared at his phone for a minute before sending a follow up message. You could grab takeout and come see me here.

She didn’t respond right away, and he could fill in the silence. Then your crew would see us together. Two phone calls later and my brothers will know.

Well, it was fucking stupid that they didn’t. That he hadn’t manned up and told them himself. That in a month of sleeping together, he and Dani hadn’t talked about it again.

They’d been too busy in bed. And on his couch, in his kitchen, and all over his bathroom. He’d been too busy taking bubble baths with the woman of his dreams to notice his grump coming on, and now it was here.
