I change my mind and get in a heap a trouble. Ye don’t want me to lose my job at the boozer, do ye? And ye can bet that I’ll be seein’ ye as soon as I can.”
    “Hmm,” she mumbled. “Until next time, then.”

    “I can’t believe you,” Jenna snapped. “You ditched me when we had plans. What if Brady hadn’t shown up, Sam? I’ve never been here before. You shouldn’t have done that to me.”
    “Jenna, I’m sorry. I guess I’m just shocked that you’re angry. I mean, I knew Brady was with you and knew he would bring you back. Honestly, you should be thanking me for giving you the opportunity to spend more time with him. I didn’t think it was a big deal.”              
    “Not a big deal? Are you kidding me? How would you feel if I took you to a place you weren’t familiar with and left you with someone you barely knew? Brady is amazing, but the fact that I was with him is irrelevant. You could have had the decency to tell me yourself that you were leaving. Geez.” Sam was about to speak again, but Jenna cut her off before she could. “Listen, I don’t really want to fight with you right now, or ever for that matter. Just don’t do it again and we’ll be good.” With that she left and slammed the door behind her. She just hoped she hadn’t made things awkward. Caleb had been with Sam when Jenna went to give her a piece of her mind, and the last thing Jenna wanted was to cause problems between them.
    Sam showed up an hour later to apologize again, and Jenna did the same.

    She didn’t see Brady as soon as she would have liked. The next day she and Sam were inseparable. They went out for lunch and took a walk to find somewhere to picnic. They talked, laughed, and cried.
    They’d spent the whole day out in the open. Almost everywhere they looked they were surrounded by fields and fields of grass and beautiful landscape. It was peaceful, gorgeous, and serene—heaven on earth—and for the first time in a long time, Jenna’s mind was free of worry, and damn, it felt good for once. That night she was able to sleep.
    She dreamed of good things for a change, mainly Brady, but someone disturbed her slumber by pounding on the door.
    “What the hell?”
    Frustrated at being taken away from the really hot dream, she yanked open the door to find out who the hell it was. The light in the hallway was blinding and she had to squint to see. “Good Lord, get in here,” she mumbled. “Who knew that light was so bright.”
    Brady laughed. “But now I can’t see anything.” She turned on the bedside lamp. “Much better. Now I can actually see ye.”
    “Brady, it’s late. Is everything all right?”
    “Yes,” he whispered and sat on the bed. He pulled her over so that she stood in front of him. He moved his hands up her thighs, and she was so close to him that she could feel his breath hot on her stomach. His lips parted, and she began to breathe harder. God, if he kept it up, she wouldn’t take long to reach her peak.
    “Brady, you’re driving me crazy.” She was breathless, and damn, she wanted him to make her come, needed it. It had been way too long, and it just wasn’t as good when she pleasured herself.
    He chuckled and looked up. “I’m glad, love. I’ve wanted ye for a while. It’s nice to know the feelin’s mutual. Nice shirt by the way,” he said and moved his hands up under the hem to get inside it. He stopped at the line of her underwear and stood with her so she was flush against him, his hard body to her soft curves. “I can’t stop thinkin’ about ye. I just can’t stop thinkin’ about the kisses we shared and the way ye smell. All flowery yet so unique. I bet ye taste just as sweet. I can’t wait to taste ye, Jenna. Yer drivin’ me crazy too, love.”
    He leaned in and took a deep breath against the column of her throat, and it made her shiver. It felt like a slow, torturous seduction, and she couldn’t take much more. She took
