“But now?” She said that tonight was her last show. I can’t see someone bouncing from hotel to hotel if they don’t have a real reason to. Doing it for work is one thing. Her job required her to move around the country. Now that is gone so it only makes sense that she should live with me. I don’t say that out loud. Her coming to stay with me is the first step I’m taking in convincing her that I’m her home.
“Now I’m going to try and find roots.” It’s a good thing that I know exactly where she can put down those roots. I have all kinds of land that she can settle into. Her roots could go on forever. Fuck, that sounds good. “PJ is going to flip when she gets back to the hotel and I’m not there.”
“I’m sure Chief Clark will tell her where to find me.”
“Shouldn't I be worried that I don’t know where we’re going?” She looks out the window. “We’re in the middle of nowhere. You live out here?”
“I do.”
“But you’re in oil, right? Shouldn't you have some fancy place in the city?” I’m not surprised she already knows something about me. I have no doubt PJ had filled her in on some things when she all but kicked us out of the room. I’d be disappointed in her if she hadn’t.
“Yes, I’m in oil but I also have a lot of land that I tend to. I’m taking you to my ranch, where you’ll be safe.”
“I’ve never been on a ranch before.” Her voice perks up. Damn, I really wish I could see her face right now.
“I’ll show you all around tomorrow. Take you out on the horses.”
“That sounds like a lot of fun.” Her hand holding mine loosens, and she starts to run it up and down, caressing me. I grit my teeth, my already hard cock starting to throb because all I can think about is that hand wrapped around my dick, doing the same thing.
“We should call and check on Brandon.”
I skip right over that. I don’t know how close she is to this guy but it bugs me. It shouldn't. Of course she wants to check on him. He worked for her and he got hurt doing it. But I was suddenly like a child not wanting to share something. That something being her.
“We’re almost there. Let me get you inside and you can call whoever you like from my phone. In fact, power yours off to be safe.”
“You think someone is tracking me?”
“I doubt it but better safe than sorry. Your driver was assaulted tonight. Let's not take any chances.” She reaches into her bag, doing as I ask. Her trust in me is already there. I don’t know why but I’ll take that too, just like I took the opportunity to steal her away to my home.
I am going to give her roots. Soon mine will be hers. We’ll be tangled together for the rest of our lives.

Bunny
My eyes fly open when two arms lift me from the car. “Wrap your arms around me, Bunny.”
I do as he says, resting my head on his chest.
“Are we here?” I ask, breathing in his rich smell. He smells like a man.
“Yeah.” He carries me inside as I try and get my eyes to adjust to the darkness. A light flips on a moment later.
“You want a bed or food?” he asks. Now the light is too bright for me to see anything.
“Food. I should call PJ too. I don’t want her to worry.” He nods and keeps on carrying me as my eyes adjust to the light. A moment later he sets me down in a chair inside a giant kitchen. Everything is done in greys and white. It’s modern with a touch of country too.
“This is really nice.” I look around, taking in the kitchen. This place looks brand new.
“Yeah, Mom made me update it.” He shrugs. “I told her to do whatever she wanted and—” He lifts his hands. I smile because that’s sweet. I love that they’re so close. I can see how much he respects and loves her whenever he talks about her.
“I love how you are with your mom.” He puts my bag on the counter before pulling out his cell phone and handing it to me.
“I’m a pretty simple man. If I can do something to make her happy then I’ll do it. Why wouldn't I? Isn't that what you do for the people you love?” His words melt my insides, but they also make me realize that I’ve never really had someone to do that for me in my life.
“Yeah, I guess so. My dad wouldn't do anything for me if it caused him to be inconvenienced at all.”
“He’s a dumbass then.” Jameson’s jaw clenches. “I’m going to get out of this monkey suit and I’ll come back and make you something to eat.”
