Loving You (Love Wanted in Texas 6)

“Oh, come on! It’s not that bad!”

Glancing over my shoulder, I glared at him. His smile faded as I headed into the bathroom.

After rinsing my mouth out with water, I brushed . . . twice.

Jase held his finger out and put toothpaste on it. My mouth fell open when he stuck his finger in his mouth and started brushing. “What are you doing?” I asked.

Turning to look at me, he smiled and mumbled, “Brushing.”

“With your finger?”

With a nonchalant shrug, he replied. “Yep.”

I cleared my throat and gave him a stern look. “So, what happened to tapping on me to let me know you were about to come?”

Jase spit and quickly rinsed off his finger and then his mouth. Standing, he turned to me and gave me the cutest damn smile I’d ever seen. “I guess I got so caught up in you coming and how great it felt I kind of . . . forgot.”

My brow lifted. “You forgot? Or you just didn’t want me to stop?”

“Maybe a little bit of both.”

Slapping him on the chest, we both laughed. “Gross, Jase! I was not prepared for that. It was so . . . so . . . salty and warm and thick!”

He pulled me closer to him and pressed his lips to mine. The kiss was slow as we explored each other’s mouths. When he stopped, he looked into my eyes. “I’m sorry. I promise to let you know next time.”

“You better and I hope you have plans on making it up to me.”

Taking my hand in his, we headed back into the bedroom. The cabin was three rooms. The living room, kitchen, and dining area was all in one big open room. The bedroom and the bathroom made up the other two rooms. Everything had been remodeled and was actually nicer than my apartment in Austin. It was just small, which was okay.

“Let’s get dressed and we’ll head into Llano. I’m sure my mother is on pins and needles waiting to finally meet you. You can also meet Ava, Walker and Liza.”

My heartbeat increased as I frantically looked for boxes that held all of my clothes. Most of my stuff I wore a lot I had brought with me to my parents’. I made a mental note to head over there and get it all as quickly as possible.

“I have nothing to wear! All my good stuff is at my parents’ house.”

Jase pulled his jeans on and looked me up and down. “Anything you put on will look amazing on you.”

With a frustrated sigh, I looked around. “I can’t just wear anything! It’s your parents. Your sister!”

He stood there staring at me with a dumbfounded look on his face. “Just wear the sweats you had on yesterday and a T-shirt. You looked adorable.”

With a stony expression, I rolled my eyes and grabbed a pair of jeans and a sweater.

Men.

Luckily it was chilly outside. I could wear my boots and add a scarf to dress it up some. By the time I was finished getting dressed, Jase had found the box with the Keurig and made us each a cup of coffee.

Glancing up, he grinned and took a sip before slowly shaking his head. “Damn, you look beautiful, Tay.”

I had pulled my long brown hair up and put it in a ponytail. With just a few light touches of make-up on, and a quick spray of perfume I was able to find, I felt like I was ready to meet the parents. Of course with the way Jase was looking at me, I felt like a princess.

“Thank you for the compliment and the coffee!”

He handed me a cup he found packed away in a box. “Good thing you take it black since you don’t have any food in the house.”

My stomach fluttered at the notion he knew how I drank my coffee. “I’m impressed you remembered how I take my coffee.”

“I’ve tried to memorize everything about you.”
