Tessa pushed her hair out of her face and glanced around the room.“Tess… I’m running out of patience.” Justin dropped his end of the couch in the middle of the room and glared at her.Tessa bit her lip. She was overwhelmed. What had started out as the perfect gift had snowballed. Strong arms wrapped around her from behind. “Tess … love…” Warm lips landed on her neck and melted her. Her stiff body relaxed, as it always did, whenever Aaron touched her … or entered the room … or entered her mind…“My cue to leave…” Justin stomped out of the room without a glance back in her direction.“Greeaat,” she moaned. “Now I don’t even have anyone to help me.”“Love…” Aaron turned her around to face him and set his forehead against hers.Her world shrank in an instant to just Aaron and herself. And that was all that really mattered anyway.“I hoped you’d love this place. Did I make a mistake?” He raised his eyebrows.“No.” Tessa shook her head. “It’s perfect.”Gifting her with a home of their own, on her parent’s property, just a mile from the main house, had been beyond her wildest dreams.
