Vegas Revenge Wedding (Nevada Bad Boys 2)

“Now?” She asked.

“Soon.” I smiled. “Let’s just enjoy being here together for a little while.”

We lay in the embrace of skin on skin for a long time, our fingers tracing each other. The only sounds we heard were the sounds of the logs crackling on the fire and the wildlife outside the cabin.

It was such a surreal experience to have her here with me again. Eventually our embrace broke and we shared a drink. It didn’t taste as good as it once did because what I really thirsted for was there with me. I was excited to show her the new cabin with some modern upgrades I thought she would like.

I didn’t know how much time we had together, and I was afraid to ask. If she told me it was only one night, I knew I would lose my mind. I wasn’t sure I could go through the separation again and maintain the control I exhibited for so long.

She was mine and while I lost her the first time due to happenstance, I had to find a balance that would maintain my sanity. Those were thoughts for another time because she was in my arms and I didn’t want to waste the time we had together, regardless of the duration. Our lips met again and I moved my fingers down her abdomen towards her legs. They instantly parted and I knew the yearning was burning within her again.

Chapter 13: Heather

The drive to Shane’s cabin was one I struggled to make. There were times when I considered turning around, but I pressed on because my heart told me it was the right thing to do. We had been apart for nearly a year and the anniversary of the day he saved me was approaching—as was the anniversary of the first time we made love.

I still felt the same way about him, even if it was extremely complicated to try and figure out what that meant. The moment I saw him, I knew he was right—I knew where I belonged. I belonged with him. I belonged in his arms. We were right for each other, even if we came from very different worlds.

I lay there in his embrace for the rest of the night, sleeping better than I had in a very long time. When the morning finally came, I stood up and walked into the main part of the cabin. Everything was missing. I hadn’t noticed it when I first arrived, but it wasn’t the same cabin I remembered. The television was gone, the things on the wall were removed, and it looked like a shell. I turned towards the bedroom and saw him standing up. He walked towards me a

nd took me in his arms.

“Where is all of your stuff?” I looked over at him in confusion.

“Get dressed.” He smiled. “I have something to show you.”

I walked back into the bedroom with my eyes heavy from sleep and a strong need for coffee in my veins, but curiosity pushed me forward. He picked up my bag and we put our coats on, walking along a path that led up the mountain.

I tried to follow along, but he was used to the terrain and I was not. By the time I got to the top of the hill, I considered it a miracle I hadn’t broken both of my ankles along the way. When my eyes followed his outstretched hand, I got a bit of a shock. Tucked in the woods away from the path was another cabin.

A long road stretched out from it to the main road, at least I assumed that was where it went based on the direction. I followed him with my curiosity officially in overdrive, wondering what he was showing me exactly. The cabin looked new and the road looked so fresh that the trees cut down to create it were still white in the center.

I continued following him down the path until we were at the front door. When he pushed it open, he turned and scooped me up without warning. I grabbed his neck to hold on as he walked across the threshold with me in his arms.

“Where are we?” I asked.

“Our new home.” He leaned in and kissed me.

“Ours?” I blinked a couple of times as he put me down after a tender kiss.

“It could be, if you decide to stay.” He pointed towards the other side of the cabin. “I even put in doors.”

“You did...” I said apprehensively as I walked around. “Wow, this is amazing.”

“I tried to incorporate a few modern upgrades so you wouldn’t feel like you were literally living in a shack. I know it isn’t a mansion or anything, but I think it will suffice.” He walked to the kitchen and opened the cabinet. “I even got some wine.”

“Well I’ll definitely take a glass of that.” I nodded enthusiastically.

“It’s six in the morning.” He laughed.

“I’m on vacation.” I shrugged.

“Sure thing.” He grabbed a glass and poured it to the middle.

“So, you built this?” I asked as I ran a finger along the wooden surface of the walls.

“I did, just like I built the other one. I’ve had a lot of time on my hands. You know what they say about idle hands.” He winked at me.

“This is great.” I shook my head. “But, I still have school.”
