Cowboy Love

Heat

Chapter 11

(A/N - 2 days later, Chad and Amy were released from the pack house infirmary and there was a funeral for Jake. I rewrote this 5 times before settling on this. Enjoy!)

FLASHBACK

----------------

"Alright, well, everything checks out, you're free to go." Alex grabbed his things then left the room. I slid off the bed and stretched before I reached into the bag. I pulled out a pair of sweats and one of Chad's shirts, then slipped them on before Chad followed same suit.

"Amy." He said my name sounding more like a question, and picked me up and put me on the counter and stood between my legs. It was his favorite way to stand with me.

"I'm so sorry for what has happened, and that I wasn't there to protect you." He pulled me into a breathtaking hug and bore out his love to me. "I feel so bad that I upset you, I love you. I never want to hurt you like that again. It tore me apart inside. You mean so much to me." He released a little bit but still had his arms around me. "I want to make it up to you." He lifted my chin up with his thumb and finger. "I'll drop you off at your house and be back in an hour and a half."

"No Chad it's fine. You don't have to. You didn't hurt me."

"Stop." He threatened.

"I want to. Please?" He added.

My heart skipped.

"But-" I protested.

"Stop."

"Okay." I surrendered and played with his shirt hem.

"It's a surprise." He picked me from the counter and carried me outside to his truck.

END OF FLASHBACK

---------------------------

We both were showered and nestled into each other as Chad drove for the hills.

I couldn't help but let my mind get the best of me.

Why did I have to always get Chad hurt because of me? Why am I such a fool? Why can't I do anything right with him? If I would've kept my mouth shut I wouldn't have gotten him hurt.

I mentally slapped myself over and over.

Chad made a quick turn on a hidden dirt road before coming to a clearing.

"Oh my !! Its beautiful!!" I screeched.

"You like it babe?" Chad asked.

"Like it?! I love it!!" I answered before he could finish.

I let my eyes take in this breathtaking area before me. Words can't describe what I see! It turned out to be a secluded campsite. It's small but wide opening with a huge fire pit dead center of it with wooden benches placed around it. Nature literally at its finest!! I let my eyes travel from the pit to the lake. Yes a lake! It had a huge dock and a tire swing on the nearest bank. And even a boat ramp!

"Wait all of this is yours?" I ask stunned.

"Yup. Every part of it. My grandpa showed me this when I was young and promised me when he died that this land would belong to me. " He answered quietly.

"I'm so sorry, he sounds like he was a great man." I said as I hugged him.

My eye caught something.

"Wait a second, is that a house boat!?"

"Sure is." He answered.

"It's absolutely beautiful." I ogled.
