“Jesus Ellie……please baby, I don’t want your first time to be up against a barn. ”
“I do! Up against a barn, in the grass, in the bed of your truck…. I don’t care Gunner anymore. I just know that I need you so much. ”
Gunner took his hand and pushed a piece of hair behind my ear. He loved to do that and I loved it just as much.
“Ellie, I promise you soon baby. Very soon…. please just let me make it special for you. I need to make this special for both of us. ”
I threw my head back and let out a scream. I didn’t care who heard me. I looked back to see him giving me that damn crooked smile and I could not help but smile back.
“FINE! But I’m telling you right now…you have thirty days to make it happen and then I’m going to take matters into my own hands. ”
Gunner chuckled and kissed my nose.
“Deal! Now let’s go get some food. I’m starving. ” He gently slid me down his body and then adjusted himself as we walked back to the ranch house hand in hand.
Thirty days…. . the bastard only had thirty days!
Emma finally let me help out by putting away the dishes as Ari washed and Heather dried. The guys were of course all outside on the porch.
I looked at Ari who had a smile so big on her face I couldn’t help but be happy for her. Jefferson had given her a beautiful bracelet from James Avery with a horse charm on it first thing this morning. Then he took her riding and when they got to the property line of his land and the Mathews ranch there was a huge black Iron gate that had the letters A and F together with a circle around it. It stood for Ari Forever.
Gunner told me I was getting my gift later this evening! I could not wait. Just then I saw Emma turn and look at me. She had tears in her eyes. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the living room. She wrapped my body in the most loving hug ever.
“Emma what’s wrong!”
“Ellie darling…. nothing is wrong. Everything is just perfect. You’re okay and here and Drew is so in love with you…. I see it every time he looks at you. Do you know that every time you walk into a room he has to catch his breath? Thank you Ellie for making Drew so happy. ”
I didn’t know what to say. I felt tears running down my face. To think I almost lost this just a short two weeks ago. I loved this woman more than I ever thought possible.
“Emma, I love Drew also…. more than I love anything. He has the same effect on me but much more…so much more. His smile melts my heart and makes me long to do everything in my power to keep it on his face. His touch, well…. I’m sure you can imagine how that makes me feel!” I felt my face blushing.
“I really should be the one thanking you for helping to raise such an amazing man. He not only has made me the happiest woman on earth but he……he literally saved me Emma, if that makes any sense. ”
She nodded her head and we both started crying and laughing at the same time.
Garrett and Gunner walked into the living room and they both looked so damn confused!
“Women! I’ll never figure y’all out no matter how old I get!”
Emma walked over and kissed Garrett and I just happened to catch the quick slap on her behind he gave her. Gunner was just staring at me with those beautiful blue eyes.
“Are you ready for your surprise sweetheart?”
My heart started pounding. He looked so handsome standing there but he also looked scared as hell! He was probably worrying himself sick if I was going to like what he picked out for me. I reached up a
nd felt my daisy necklace he gave me for my graduation. Then I looked down at my bracelet. I never took either of them off and threw a fit in the hospital when I found out they took them off of me.
I walked over and took his hand and nodded yes.
I was so confused when Gunner started to lead me out to the Jeep. He helped me in and then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. He jogged around to the other side and hopped in.
“Where’re we going?”
“We’re going to the hunter’s cabin. ”
“The hunter’s cabin? The one you showed me on my first tour of the ranch?”
“Yep! That’s the one. ”
