After everyone had left Logan helped his cousins and brothers clean up. He made me sit and watch but more or less I helped his aunt and mom with dishes.

Once the tables and stuff were put up the room was cut back into half. Logan went out and came back with a bag. He led me to his room and set the bag at the foot of his bed. I got up on his bed and kicked my shoes off before grabbing one of his pillows.

I inhaled deeply taking in his scent. He got up on the bed with me and wrapped his arms around me pulling me into him. I rolled over in his arms leaving the pillow for the real person.

He kissed the top of my head and pulled me on top of him. I laid my head on his chest as he laid on his back with me laying on top. He pulled his right leg up making me move closer to his head.

"So what did you think of my family?" He asked looking into my eyes. "I could definitely get use to the family." I told him. He kissed me. His hands went down to my bottom and rested on the back of my thighs.

For several seconds we held the kiss before having to break for breath. He pulled his other leg up before sitting up, making me straddling him. "I think this is the best way I'll hold you." He said, hands still on my thighs.

He kissed me again his hand going to the back of my head to hold me there. His other hand went to my back. He wanted to deepen it but was holding back. I put my arms around his neck pulling myself closer to him.

He got the hint and nipped at my bottom lip. I let him take control by letting him explore my mouth. His tongue intertwined with mine. My hands found his fairly short hair and started gently pulling at it.

He backed up leaning on the headboard. A low growl came from his throat. His hand found its way into my hair gently and rubbed the back of my head close to the scalp.

I had to pull back to catch my breath. He understood and had me lean my forehead against his. He kissed my cheek leaning me back. Making me rest on his legs. He kissed my jaw starting to trail kisses down to my collarbone.

"Did you know I love you?" He asked. "Did you know I love you back?" I asked. He kissed my forehead. "Always. Nothing is going to change it." He said.

I yawned about to fall asleep. He let me lean on him resting my head on his shoulder.

I stayed the night at his house until Saturday. That's what he wanted for his birthday was for me to be there. His parents wanted me to keep him busy all day until they texted letting me know when he could come back.

"Logan would you take me horseback riding?" I asked him as we walked down the barn isle. "Depends on where you want to ride to." He said. "How far away is the southeast corner from here?" I asked.

"About four hours on horse back if at a walk." He answered. "Would you take me to show me the property?" I asked. He smirked and scoffed. "I guess. Have you even ridden before?" He asked.

"Why don't you find out after putting me on a horse." I answered. He smirked again. Then walked down the isle. He came back with two horses handing me a blue roan.

"My uncle trains horses for a living. He had to get a professional degree before he actually could. In the mean time my grandpa sent horses to Stillwater to be trained. Turned out to be my aunt Hedli's cousin and uncle who trained them." He said.

The horse I was leading licked the back of my hand. "Rylin learned how to halter break horses when she was ten. It's helped Zach a lot since he taught her how to." He added.

He tied the chestnut up and I tied the roan next to it. I followed him to the tack room where he gave me two bridles while he carried both saddles. I walked behind him again watching his muscles flex.

He set both down. Then handed me a brush. I quickly brushed the horse down then picked up the top saddle and set it on the horse's back. I set the bridle over my shoulder while I fixed the girth and cinch. Then fixed the stirrups to my correct length.

I put the bridle on and led him around. Logan was still messing with the bridle. The roan nickered impatiently. Finally he led his over to me. He gestured to follow him.

We walked out of the barn and to the back. "Need any help mounting?" He asked. "No not really." I told him. He shrugged and waited just in case. I put the reins over the horse's head and put my foot in the left stirrup.

Then boosted myself up and into the saddle. Logan looked at me like he was surprised. "What are you coming?" I asked him picking up the reins.

He shook his head and got up into the saddle of his own horse. I got the horse into a walk ahead of him. "Do you even know where we're going?" He asked.

I giggled before bringing the horse into a lope. Last time I rode was June before two days before officially moving to Marshall. Before that I've been riding since I was five.

I could tell he was right behind me. He passed me about to slow down at the gate. I got into the grass and sped the horse up. Then jumped the fence missing it by a few inches.

That afternoon when we got back his parents texted me letting me know. He had no idea what was planned.
