Chapter Seven

Jayme was able to keep her ire to herself all the way back to Rocket’s house. It wasn’t that she didn’t want Rocket talking to Aspen and Brain about her bakery. It was more that it kind of sounded like he’d had all the ideas about her bakery. Yes, he had a business degree and had some really good ideas, but it wasn’t as if she was an idiot. Jayme knew she was working herself up over Rocket’s words, but she couldn’t help but feel as if she had back in Seattle. That her ideas were brushed aside and not as important as a man’s.

She even kept quiet when he politely asked if she wanted him to grill up some steaks or chicken for dinner.

But when Rocket asked if she wanted to talk now, or calm down a little before they talked, she lost it.

“Calm down?” she asked in amazement. “You didn’t just say that to me.”

Rocket crossed his arms over his chest, leaned a hip against his amazing marble countertop in his perfect kitchen in his perfect house, and had the gall to grin at her as if she was amusing as hell.

“Just because you’re sleeping with me doesn’t give you the right to take over my life.”

Jayme knew she was being dramatic, but his comment to Memaw’s neighbors had rubbed her the wrong way and she couldn’t stop thinking about them.

“I know it doesn’t,” Rocket said calmly.

For some reason, instead of making her angrier, his non-reaction actually helped Jayme rein in her temper. She brushed past him and got a teabag down from the cabinet.

Rocket reached over and flicked the button on the tea kettle to heat the water. “Go sit, I’ll get this ready for you,” he told her.

Nodding, Jayme headed for the couch. She watched as Rocket prepared her tea, just like he did every night. There were so many considerate things he did for her on a daily basis.

She hadn’t been sure if being around him all the time was going to work in the long run. She was so used to living on her own. But Rocket had made the transition seamless. She hadn’t even consciously moved in with him, so much as she’d just kind of stayed after that first night. She enjoyed being with him, and even puttering around his house when he was at work just felt…right. She visited Memaw every day, but then came back here and made dinner for them both. And she baked—a lot. She enjoyed coming up with new recipes and concoctions for Rocket to try.

She also appreciated that he didn’t always gush over every creation. There were certainly times when he’d suggested something wasn’t quite right. That a cookie needed more chocolate or less nuts or something.

And she couldn’t deny how right sleeping in his arms felt.

Jayme had never had a boyfriend she’d clicked with so quickly.

Which was why his making decisions for her bakery without discussing it with her first had bothered her so much.
