“Getting a little more addicted won’t hurt you,” I tell her before claiming her lips again.
This is going to be everything and then some.
Chapter Eight
Sadie
Four Days Later
It is crazy how much can change in four little days. In that time, I have become not only accustomed to his touch and kisses but addicted to them. I crave his lips on mine and on the rare days when he takes it further and lays on top of me, with my legs spread and clothes on, I become even more of a slave to the baser side of myself.
Jasper quite frankly is working his way into my veins, and I love it. Aside from that, the day after we got here, he did as promised and took all of us shopping. We all bought numerous pairs of pants never having been allowed to wear them. The girl in the store showed us various t-shirts, pretty tops and nice skirts to wear to church. We even got sandals and gym shoes which I might add are so comfortable.
He bought me a cell phone, saying he needed to be able to reach me should we be separated. I told him it was too extravagant, but he wouldn’t hear of it. By the time we were all done, the total of everything was upwards of one thousand dollars. It was at that moment it hit me he must be rich.
Later that night in our marital room, I asked him about this, not sure if it was too personal, but he chuckled and brushed his thumb against my cheek. “We are wealthy, wife.” I protested, telling him it was his money but then he said something about not signing my right to his money away. He is unlike any man I have ever met.
That following morning he took me on a ride on the back of his horse through the estate and land showing me how far it goes and where everything is. It is expansive. I think it spans half the city.
We rode back and he took me to the stable where he gifted me my own mare. She is beautiful and gentle. Her coat is a light brown, shadowed by darker brown but her mane is the color of caramelized honey. So, that is what I named her. Honey. I threw myself in his arms and cried as I was thanking him. I lost myself for a moment and kissed him. He put his hand on the back of my head and kissed me back and the rest they say is history. That was the day I became addicted to his kisses.
This morning I am really excited because last night he agreed to give my sisters and I two acres of empty land to begin a garden that we can see to. Today, we are planning on planting tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and herbs. We are also going to plant a few apple trees and orange trees. First, we want to see if these take off. I am thinking about planting strawberries and pumpkins. I figure we could sell them along with the things we do ourselves in some local stores and such and make our own money.
“Where are you going, baby?” He has started calling me that and other things and every time my cheeks heat up. I didn’t think of myself as a woman who would like nicknames such as that, but it seems I do. At least from him.
“I was just going to go look at the land and decide where best to plant everything.”
“There will be plenty of time for that. Come with me?” He holds his hand out and I know he is asking me to ride on the back of his horse. I have my own now, but something about being wrapped around him while trusting him to take care of me, makes me feel a number of things.
“Of course,” I tell him, putting my hand in his. Smiling at me, he moves some of my hair to the side and kisses my neck.
“You have no idea what it does to me every time you trust me with more and more of you.” I lean into his touch and relish the feel of his hand sliding down my neck. “Let’s go.”
We ride for a while, me gripping the side of his shirts. I can’t wrap my arms around him. He is massive. A few nights ago, my sisters and I began watching movies in his TV room. One of the movies was called. Sweet Home Alabama. I loved it. It was so sweet. But the guy she was really in love with, I think his name is Josh Lucas, Jasper is a more muscular solid version of him.
After a while it hits me that we are going to the one place he has yet to take me. “Welcome to the end of the line, baby.” The furthest pasture at the end of the property. He gets down first, but my eyes are on what is in front of me.
