“He’s made comments about how nice my ass is and how he sees why you were hung up on me.”

Anger built in Jase’s eyes. “Please let it go . . . I shouldn’t have said anything.”

“The fuck you shouldn’t have. You should have told me before. What else has he said to you?”

I shook my head. “Nothing really. He just puts his hands on me all the time and I don’t like it.”

“Explain please.”

Ugh. This is exactly why I didn’t say anything before to Jase. “Jase, honestly it’s just me being me.”

His face grew red the angrier he got. When he balled up his fists, I was silently wishing I hadn’t said a word.

“Taylor,” he bit.

Sighing, I answered him. “He puts his arm around my shoulders and will pull me close to him. Or he puts his hand on my lower back and he always does it when you’re not looking or not in the room because I know he knows it makes me uncomfortable and you wouldn’t like it.”

“I’m gonna pummel his fucking face in when I see him.”

Grabbing his arm, I pleaded with him, “Jase no! This is exactly why I didn’t say anything to you. I’ve already decided when he does it again I’m going to say something. Please let me handle this. Maybe he doesn’t realize he is doing it . . . doubtful, but possible.”

Shaking his head, Jase turned away from me and paced. Both hands pushed through his hair and I couldn’t help the ache between my legs. I loved when he did that. It left his hair with that just-fucked look as Meagan called it.

“I swear if I see him touch you or hear him make any comments I’m going to take care of it myself.”

This was the first time I’d seen the jealous side of Jase. Pressing my lips together, I nodded.

“Should I bring my swimsuit?”

“I don’t think anyone will be swimming. The water is still pretty cold and it’s only getting up to the mid-seventies.”

I was glad my change of subject worked. I packed a bag and put my swimsuit in anyway just in case.

An hour later and we were walking up to a large group of people. One of Jase’s friends rented out a few cabins at a park that was right on the Llano River. It was beautiful. There was a huge fire going and someone had brought a giant grill they were grilling hamburgers on.

Rick turned and smiled as he waved. Jase lifted his hand and waved. “Fucker,” he whispered as I bumped my shoulder against him.

The same girl I had talked to that night at the bar came walking over. I didn’t think she would recognize me and she didn’t. Of course, she acted as if I wasn’t even standing there when she threw her arms around Jase. To his credit he didn’t hug her and she quickly stepped back.

“Jase! I’m so glad you decided to come. I’ve hardly seen you in the last few months.”

Jase put his arm around my waist and looked at me with a loving smile. “I’ve been pretty busy.”

“Oh, I bet the ranch keeps you busy.”

Jase and I both looked at her. “Jill, I’d like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Taylor.”

Jill gave me a once over. With a fake smile she said, “Any friend of Jase’s is a friend of mine.”

“Thanks,” I politely answered.

Putting her attention back on Jase, she let out a yell as a song started. I couldn’t see where the speakers were or where the music was coming from, but clearly she liked this song with the way she was reacting.

“Jase it’s ‘Young and Crazy’ . . . our song! We have to dance.”

Reaching for his arm, she tried to pull him away.

“That’s okay, Jill. I’m going to pass.”
