By the time we get my stuff and make it to Jason's, it's dark out. His house isn't what I expected from him. He's so calm and collected most of the time, a man with simple needs and no desire to impress anyone. I guess I thought he'd live in a high-rise full of minimalistic furniture or something. He doesn't. He lives in a gorgeous two-story cabin-style farmhouse at the foot of Signal Mountain. His house is tucked away behind a thick tangle of trees, hiding it from the roadway. The property is surrounded by a wooden fence and the roof of a red barn is visible in the distance.

"You really live here?" I ask, instantly falling in love with the place.

"Yeah. My grandparents left the place to me and Jenna," he says, pulling up in front of the house. "They lived here until they passed away a few years ago."

"It's beautiful. Did they have animals?"

"When they were younger. It was a family farm more than anything." He shuts the truck off, turning to look at me. "Grandpa used to sucker us into picking beans for a dollar. We thought we were gettin' rich off him. Didn't realize how much work it is to pick an entire bushel of the little bastards."

I throw my head back and laugh loudly.

"He did the same thing to my dad and his brother when they were kids. He was a world-class swindler." Jason shakes his head, his eyes light with happiness as he pops the door to his truck and hops out. I start to do the same, but he shakes his head. "Wait for me."

I roll my eyes, but do as instructed, waiting impatiently for him to circle around to help me out.

"Don't want you fallin', trying to get down by yourself," he says, wrapping his hands around my waist and pulling me toward him. He slides me down the front of his body. The contact instantly sets electricity to buzzing all over my skin again.

I think I'm addicted to how much more alive I feel when he's touching me.

I stumble before catching myself.

He smirks like he knows what he's doing to me, and then grabs my bags out of the back of the truck. He kept distracting me with kisses while I packed, so I brought way more than I intended to bring. I have a sneaking suspicion that was his plan. It makes me happy to know he wants me in his space as badly as I want to be in it.

He laces his fingers through mine, leading me toward the front door.

A dog barks, and I jump.

"Easy, pretty baby."

"You have a dog?"

"Mmhmm." He releases my hand to unlock the door.

His dog barks in excitement from the other side. He sounds huge.

"Gomer," Jason calls, his tone sharp. "Ostanovit."

The dog instantly stops barking.

Jason grins at me again and then pulls the door open.

"He's so pretty," I whisper, staring at the dog. He's massive, his paws almost as big as my hands. He's a really pretty mix of brown and black, like a German Shepard, but different.
