Chapter 7

Vidalia watched the incorrigible Jake as he rounded the front of the jeep. He’d tricked her neatly into dinner she had to admit. Being on her guard in the future would be paramount or he’d have her emotions completely tied up in no time.

Would that be so bad though?

“Shut up,” she ordered her conscience. The faint scent of his wintergreen aftershave lingered where he’d leaned across and neatly snapped in her seatbelt before she could protest. She hadn’t even bothered to say anything because he’d already won this round. Next time she’d be ready for him. The touch of his body across her breasts had left her nipples tingling even through their jackets. If he’d just turned his head towards her, she could have kissed those firm, smug lips.

A full-body shiver hit her as she realized how much she wanted that. She gave him a side eye as he climbed in beside her, all male strength, sexy gray eyes, and the cutest satisfied grin ever still adorning his face. The man was dynamite wrapped in a muscled male package. She’d never been so aware of someone before. Even her toes were tingling.

When they arrived at his cabin, she was surprised to see that it was much bigger than Dax’s. It was about a quarter mile off the main road and nestled among the tall pines like something you would see in a travel magazine.

An oversized carport stood behind the house and to the right on the property, housing a nice-sized cabin cruiser. He must like boating. A large storage building was on the left, leaving plenty of room in between to host a covered concrete patio that was empty at the moment. Probably for guests, she surmised.

“This is gorgeous,” she breathed in awe. “Did you build this by yourself?”

He pulled into the gravel drive that sat in front of the two-car garage and turned off the engine. “Not all of it,” he replied. The main cabin was already built, as was the boat shelter and part of the storage building. I added some rooms, then added the garage and put up the outside pavilion.” He pointed to the additions as he spoke. “I also increased the size of the deck in the front and added one completely around the cabin,” he added proudly. “You like it?”

Vidalia nodded. “I love it. It’s beautifully done and blends in with the forest around it so well. I can see why you live here as much as you can.”

“Well, I have internet service here since it’s a lower elevation,” he replied. “I wanted that in case I decided to do something that allowed me to work from home. Plus, I didn’t want to be too far from civilization. If I did get snowed in, the snow plows would get the roads cleared more quickly.”

Vidalia opened her door and climbed out as he came around to help her. “They don’t close this canyon off in the wintertime?” she asked.

He took her hand and pulled her toward the front door.
