Free Love on a Dirt Road (The Roughneck Series Book 1) by Nicole Hart

motioned for me to come over there with a nod of his head.
      "If you insist." I said as I crawled onto his body and settled myself on top of him.
      "I can't believe you have to leave tomorrow." I said with a pout.
      "I know, it sucks. I gotta work though."
      "I know." I said and then planted my lips on his.
      "Pack a bag" He said and slapped my ass.
      "What?" I said, confused.
      "I want you to stay the night at my house. It's my last night home for two weeks, I need you in my bed" He said as he brushed his lips across my neck.
      "Mmm" I moaned quietly. "Since you put it that way, how can I say no?"
      "You don't" He said very matter of fact. "Now get to packing Baby. I can't wait much longer."
      That was all the coaxing I needed. I jumped off the bed and started gathering my stuff. As I was packing all my necessities, I glanced over at Jase. He was lying there with his hands propped behind his head, just watching my every move.
      "What?" I said with a giggle.
      "Just watching the sexiest woman I've ever seen in my life." He said without hesitating.
      "Scrubs and all huh?" I laughed.
      "Scrubs and all." He said without a hint of laughter. He looked like he was ready to devour me. I needed to hurry up!
     
      As I left work on Tuesday afternoon, I couldn't get to Jase fast enough. The knot in my stomach was growing by the second. He waited for me to get off work before he left for South Texas. I knew he had a long drive ahead of him and needed to get on the road. But I didn't argue with him when he chose to wait for me.
      I pulled into his driveway as he was loading his hard hat and boots into his truck. I thought I might throw up. This was going to be so hard. I was attached to him already. I craved his touch every second. And now I wouldn't even get to look at those beautiful eyes for two weeks. I could do this. I could do this. I kept trying to convince myself. Only I wasn't so sure.
      I jumped out of my car and ran to Jase before he even had a chance to get to me. I threw my arms around him and squeezed him tight. He held onto me just as tight.
      "Let's go inside" He said as he started walking inside with his arm wrapped around me.
      We walked into his house and Jase pulled me on top of him as he sat on the couch.
      I put my arms around his neck and kissed him hard.
      "I'm gonna miss you" I said with a lump in my throat. I was not going to cry. I was not going to cry.
      "Me too" He said as he pulled me closer to him.
      "Listen..." He said but then paused.
      "Are you going to be able to do this?" He finally asked, his voice laced with worry.
      "What do you mean?"
      "Lainey, my job makes things hard. We're gonna be away from each other half the time. I just want to make sure you're here waiting when I get back."
      "Jase" I said as I looked in his eyes. "I'm not going anywhere."
      "That's what I wanted to hear." He said as he put his lips on mine.
      "And not to sound like the psycho girlfriend or anything" Did I just call myself his girlfriend? "But you’re gonna be good right? I don't have anything to worry about?" I knew I sounded completely insecure, but the truth is, I was. Completely.
      "Baby, you're it for me. You have been since day one. And the word girlfriend doesn't do you justice Lainey. You fucking own me." He said as kissed me again. His words melted me. I was done. Never turning back. My life would never be the same.
      He kissed me tenderly for a few minutes before breaking away from me.
      "I have to go" He said with a long exhale.
      "I know" I said and got off of him.
      "I want to give you something first" He said as he stood and reached into his pocket.
      He pulled a key out of his front pocket and put it in my hand.
      "What's this for?" I asked, confused.
      "It's a key to my house." He said. "When I get back home, I want you here waiting for me." He kissed me on the head. "Naked."
      "I think I can handle that" I said with a huge smile as
