Can love be found

Chapter Ten

It's finally Saturday and I hop out of bed, and head into the bathroom to get ready to head up to Jacob's. After I finish in the shower, I head into my closet to pick out an outfit. I pull out a nice t-shirt and my favorite pair of jeans and slip into some cowboy boots. I then pack an overnight bag just in case and head downstairs to get some breakfast.

"Hey Crystal, have anything planned for today?"

"Actually, Brad is coming down to hang out."

"Wow, so it's more than a booty call?"

"Oh shush, We are trying to see if it is. I kinda like this one. He's sweet, more than just awesome in the sack." She says with a laugh.

It's funny. I am headed up to their place and he is coming here. Well, at least I won't have to wear earplugs."

"Come on. I'm not loud."

"Then what was all that we heard last weekend?" She just shook her head and threw a napkin at me as I called Jacob to let him know I was leaving.

"Good morning, doll."

"Good morning, cowboy. I was just calling to let you know I was headed your way."

"Alright, be careful, and see you in a few."

We hang up and I grab my bag, tell Crystal bye and head out the door. I was bringing a bag just in case, not sure yet if I would spend the night. After about an hour I pull down the long road to his house. I see cattle on one side and horses on the other.

I finally pulled up to a beautiful ranch home. It was amazing. It was a home of my dreams.

As she parked her car, he came out of the house and down the stairs quickly. As he came over to her, he hugged her and kissed the top of her head.

Hello, doll. I have missed you. Did you bring a bag?"

"Hello, cowboy. I did bring one, but the verdict is still out on if I'm staying or not."

"Well, then I have a lot of convincing to do."

He smiled as he took my bag and we headed inside. He showed me around his house and showed me the bedroom where I might be staying.

"Here is your room, unless you decide to stay with me. I will not pressure you to do anything. It is all up to you."

"Thank you, Jacob. Now show me what the cowboys room looks like." I said with a smile. We walked across the hall and walked into his. It was very warm and masculine full of dark browns and soft leather. We then walk down and head out to the barn. We head into the barn and I see two of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen.

"Fancy going for a ride, doll?""

"I would love to."

He brings out two quarter horses and gets them all tacked up and ready for us to ride. He hands one to me and we head outside. I climb up easily and he just smiles.

"I actually wasn't expecting you to get up so easily." He smiled as he climbed up on the back of his horse.

"I used to ride when I was younger. Although I rode english. We were always on horses whenever we could."

So you are not just a city girl."

"No, I am only where I'm at to be closer to work, but out here is where I'd like to be."

"I hope to see you out here more." He smiled as he led me out to the trails. We spent several hours out on the trails, just talking and getting to know each other. It was a beautiful day.

"Let's head back. It's lunch time and I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little hungry."

"I am a little bit, and my butt is getting a little sore. It's not used to being in the saddle anymore."

He laughed as we headed back to the barn. We got back and took care of the horses as we took off the tack and hosed them down. We turned them out to pasture and headed up to the house, and headed into the kitchen to fix us lunch.

"Did you happen to bring a bathing suit? I have a pool out back if you wanted."

"For some reason, I actually did. That little voice in the back of my head told me to."

"Well, then get that sweet ass upstairs and I will meet you out back."

I laugh as I head upstairs after I grabbed my bag from the car and him following behind. We head into different bedrooms to change. I head down to the back and he is already in the pool. I couldn't help but stare as he swam back and forth across the pool length, the way his muscles moved as he swam. I walked over to the edge of the pool and sat down. After a few moments he stopped and saw me. He swam over and moved between my legs.

"You look too good in that suit. It's hard to be a gentleman at this moment."

I lean down and he reaches up and grabs both sides of my face as he places his soft lips to mine. He pulls me down into the water as I squeal and he laughs.

"You did that on purpose."

"Yeah, I kinda did." he said as he held me close. I could feel his arousal against my stomach. I blushed a little, and he smiled.

"You seem to have a problem."

"Yeah, this is the effect you have on me. I can't help it."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. It's what happens. I just can't help it. I just don't want to scare you off because you think I'm some kind of perv, and have you out here for just one thing."

'No, I don't. I just..." I wiggle out of his arms and run out of the pool and sit down with tears in my eyes. He follows me and sits down beside me rubbing my back.

"Doll, I don't know what happened in your past but just so you know I am here and will always be. I don't plan on hurting you. Maybe sometime you can tell me what happened that you can't trust."

"Thank you Jacob. Maybe sometime. I think I am beginning to trust you." I say as I wipe my tears and give him a small smile. He hugs me back then lifts me up and runs to jump back in the pool.

"Oh, my gosh. You are crazy!" I say as laughing as we resurface.

"I got you to smile didn't I?" It was getting a little heavy there.

We both laughed, and carried on for a few more hours and realized that it was about time for dinner and we headed inside to shower and change. I head downstairs and he is already in the kitchen starting dinner.

"Wow, it smells amazing."

"Thanks, I was just about to go put the steaks on the grill. The potatoes are in the oven, and the salad is finished."

Soon everything is finished and he has everything set up outside on the deck. It's a beautiful evening and wonderful company. We sit and eat and just talk about anything. He told me about his family and how this property had been in the family for several generations along with bull riding. The sun was setting and we took the dishes in the kitchen and I helped him clean up, even though he told me not to. After we were done, we headed out to the back where he had a fire pit and couches around. We sit down as I snuggle against him as he wraps a blanket around us. I am comfortable with him at this moment. Maybe I should tell him about Tony.
