"You ready to go?" Jack asks

"Aha"

He picks me up and carries me out the front door and down to his truck It's 3 p back tohooky fros all day, but infor a break in the weather Jack places me in the truck and with a quick kiss, does up my seatbelt I watch as he walks around to his side He's wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans that fit in the all the right places He has a three-day growth of dark whiskers and I don’t know if I've ever seen someone so damn sexy in my entire life, or maybe that’s because he's fucked every last brain cell out of ht at all… it's completely possible Thatup for lost time, times ten

I have a dull ache between s, I feel swollen and sore

He gave it to me hard

He starts the engine and we start down the sweeping driveway It's so green and there are mountains and trees as far as the eye can see "This is such a beautiful place"

Jack sh my eyes "It is"

"So…you said you bought this property?" I ask

"Aha, this is all mine"

I look around, "What's all yours?"

"All this land, everything you can see"

I frown "How much land is that?"

"Close to five hundred acres"

"Wow" My eyes widen in surprise "Impressive"

He sh due to all the rain," he says

I nod as I think "Do you think you would be able to drop me off at a hotel?"

His eyes flick to me "What for?"

"Well," I pause "I'm here until next Wednesday, that’s nearly a week"

"You're staying with me," he snaps

"But…"

"Holly," he cuts me off as he reaches over and picks upwith me End of story"

I glance down atthen"

"What for?"

"Clothes," I shrug "Jack… I'e flip flops"

His eyes flick over to me "And?"

"Well, there is nothing in my suitcase I can wear really I only packed work clothes for two days" I gesture toin yours"
