“So wet.”

“So ready,” she panted.

With a soft chuckle, I moved over her. I was at her entrance when she lifted her hips.

“Mason, please.”

I placed my hands on either side of her face while I held my weight off her with my forearms. Our eyes met, and I knew—I knew in that exact moment that I was going to ask her to marry me. Sooner rather than later.

To hell with going slow.

I pushed inside of her as I took her mouth with mine. We kissed leisurely while I moved in and out at an unhurried pace. She wrapped her legs around me and ran her feet over my calves, causing my entire body to hum with pure pleasure.

When our lips parted and our eyes met, I knew Palmer felt the same way I did.

It felt like heaven.

“I want to say it,” she whispered.

“I do too.”

She brought a hand to the side of my face and then around to my neck. She tugged me back to her mouth, and we got lost in each other.

We spent the rest of the day in my bed, talking, making love, and talking some more. We stayed that way until my father sent me a text that they were on their way back.

“Take a shower with me,” I said as I led Palmer into the bathroom.

“Mason, they’ll be back soon, and I really need to get home. Poor Whiskey does have an auto feeder, but I do need to give him some attention.”

I shook my head. “Stay for dinner. I’ll order a few pizzas and we can do movie night. Please, Palmer.”

She drew in a deep breath and then exhaled. “I will if you let me go shower and change at my house. I know the moment we get into that shower, you’re going to ravage me again.”

I raised my brows. “I’m sorry, who ravaged who?”

Wrapping her arms around my neck, she dug her teeth into her lower lip before answering. “Fine, we both did our fair share of ravaging. I really do need to go home though. I promise I’ll be back as soon as I shower and call my parents.”

“Fine. Here, put this on.” I handed her my robe, then wrapped a towel around my waist and followed her back to the kitchen, where our clothes lay in a pile.

Palmer got dressed and slipped on her boots, jacket, hat, and gloves before making her way down the driveway. I watched until she was no longer in sight.

I glanced at the time and then rushed upstairs to shower. I couldn’t have wiped the smile off my face if I tried.

Palmer

“Ms. Palmer,” Charlie said as we walked through the grocery store picking out food from the list we’d made earlier. Charlie was heading back to school on Monday, after his long holiday vacation. Since New Year’s Eve week, I’d spent almost every waking moment at Mason’s house. I was, of course, watching Charlie again, since Mason was back to normal office hours, and Jennifer and Dan were busy planning their move to Seaside.

I would make dinner, spend some time with the boys, and then head to my place. Once Charlie was asleep, I’d sneak back to Mason’s house, and we’d spend hours either talking or making love. It had been the most blissful few days.

Now the weekend was coming, and life would go back to somewhat-normal next week. One major change I’d already made was deciding to hand the reins of my poop-scooping business over to a young couple who were looking to earn money while going to college. I still owned the business, but once they proved they could maintain and grow it, I would eventually turn it over to them.

Charlie and I still did my dog walking duties each day. That was not something I was willing to give up. I adored my time with the dogs. And my volunteer position at the shelter could be cut back to a few days a month, or whenever they really needed me. I did, however, give up my violin lessons and focused more on painting and making my sea glass trees. I’d been putting the trees in Sutton’s boutique all fall, and they had been selling out almost as fast as I could make them.

“Ms. Palmer!” Charlie said again, this time pulling on my arm.

I chuckled. “Sorry, I was daydreaming. What’s up, buddy? Did I miss something on the list?”

Charlie looked up at me with a nervous expression, and I was instantly put on guard. “There’s a lady who keeps following us and looking at me and waving.”

My heart dropped, and I stopped walking. “Do you still see her?”

Charlie nodded and looked past me. I spun around and gasped when I saw Ashley standing several feet away. When she saw me, her smile faded, replaced by a look of total disdain.
