Chapter Thirteen

What’s your favorite thing to do?

You.

Mason climbs back onto the boat and basically has to lift me onto it after three failed attempts on my part. “You hungry?”

“I’m starving.” He lifts up one of the seats and reveals a cooler. I grab a sandwich from him. “You did all of this?”

“Nope Santa let me borrow his elves and they set all this up.”

Ass. “I just mean you surprised me.” I can tell he is uncomfortable by the way he won’t really meet my eyes. “So when did you get a boat?”

“I bought it after we got out of the army. I come here a few times a week, it’s relaxing.”

“Have any of the guys ever come with you?”

“No. None of them know about this place. I guess it’s always just kind of been my place to go and be alone.” He looks around still trying to avoid eye contact.

“So why did you bring me here?”

His hand scrubs up and down his face. “Because as much as I hate it, you have been getting to me. You make me want to be better. I’m bad for you, but I’m not good for anyone else. You don’t understand how much the idea of you scares me, Lacey. You have this amazing light in you, and I don’t want my demons to dim that.”

I don’t know what to say to him, so I don’t say anything. I stand up and walk over to him, then sit on his lap. “I swear you have this way of saying all the wrong things in just the right way.” I kiss him needing him to know that he isn’t going to scare me off. I’m in this way deeper than even he knows. I would love to tell him about the baby, but I don’t think he is anywhere near ready for that.

We spend the rest of the day swimming in the lake and going tubing a few more times, much to his disappointment he is never able to make me flip off. As we are pulling into the dock and the sun is setting all I can think is how amazing this whole day has been. Mason helps me off the boat and we walk hand-in-hand to his car. The drive is once again silent but this time instead of being in the passenger seat I scoot my way over on the bench and sit next to him. When we reach my apartment he walks me to my door.

His hand grazes my face. Our mouths connect and I open for him, inviting him. Not only to my body but to my heart and soul as well. My hand reaches in my bag for my keys. I break contact long enough to open the door. Mason stops in the doorway not following me inside.

“You coming in? I’m not really down for giving the neighbors a show.”

His hands cup my face. He gives me another kiss before pulling away only an inch. “Today was…different. Goodnight, angel.” He releases me and walks away leaving me dumbfounded and completely shocked.
