again?”
    “He’s called a few times and left messages, but I haven’t returned the calls.”
    “Maybe you should have your mother change the house number.”
    “I probably should. I just hate being more of a bother to her.”
    “I doubt she sees you as a bother,” Derrick smiled over at her. “So what are you going to school for?”
    “After many attempted majors, I finally found my niche in Psychology. I want to be a counselor, but after seeing how I handle my own relationships, maybe I should reconsider. Originally, I wanted to be a geologist. I guess I don’t really know what I want to do with my life anymore.” She was speaking too fast, but she was a ball of nerves around him, she couldn’t help herself.
    Derrick laughed. “I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”
    The conversation was making her uncomfortable, so she switched gears. “So, where are we going anyway?”
    Thankfully, he let the subject go.
    “I wanted to get your opinion on a piece of property I’m thinking of buying.”
    “Really?” Grayson sat up straighter. He actually cared what she thought? “That sounds fun. How much land?”
    “Just about sixty acres. I’ve always wanted a place to shoot and have the guys over.”
    “Oh cool. So you’re going to make a range?”
    “That’s the plan. But, we’ll see. It won’t be anything too fancy.”
    “Maybe I can come out and go shooting with you sometime.”
    He turned towards her. “You shoot?”
    “What do you think?” She smiled, “Ethan is my brother. We were twelve when he started teaching us how to tear down a gun.”
    Derrick smiled. “That’s cool.”
    “Do you have any brothers or sisters?”
    “Nope, only child.”
    “That would be weird for me. I am so used to having my crazy twin and my super protective brother; I couldn’t imagine it any other way.” Grace couldn’t imagine a life without Luna or Ethan; they were so much a part of who she was, and they held so many of her childhood memories.
    They drove for about thirty minutes chatting when suddenly the smooth highway turned into a bumpy side road. Grayson was excited, she felt like he was letting her into a private part of his world. About a mile later, he turned down a narrow winding gravel driveway. The land was overgrown, and honestly not that attractive. It would need a lot of work. Grayson had always been fascinated with barns as a child.
    “It’s nice,” Grayson said jumping out of the SUV and into the brush. She hoped there were no snakes ready to attack.
    “It could be nice. I’d have to clear a big section of the land to build the shooting range.” He started walking forward, and she followed after wishing she had worn better shoes, and a rain jacket. The over growth was almost waist high, and her pants were covered with spurs. They walked up a big hill and Derrick stopped. “I thought maybe I could build a house here someday.”
    Grayson glanced down and could see the barn in the distance; the trees were starting to lose their leaves. It was a good place to build. “Definitely has potential.”
    Derrick came up behind her and drew her roughly against him. “Yes it does.” He murmured, and she leaned her head against his shoulder. His arms tightened around her.
    His lips lightly brushed the nape of her neck. Her whole body became tense, her breathing uneven. “How do you have that effect on me so quickly?”
    “I’ve wanted to touch you for days.” His voice was rougher than usual, her knees went weak.
    “Really? You could have just called you know.”
    “We’ve been doing night training all week.”
    Ah. Well maybe he wasn’t totally ignoring her, but he still could have shot her a quick text or something.
    His palm was warm on her belly. Derrick’s other hand moved under her sweater and up to her breast. She was completely helpless in his arms, and practically melted at his touch. Any logical thoughts flew from her head.
    A moan escaped her mouth when he unbuttoned her jeans sliding his hand between her legs, and he began to caress her in circular motion. He brought her to the edge, and she tried to twist around, but he held her tighter into him. His erection swelled against her jeans sending her into sensory overload. She couldn’t talk. Hell she couldn’t even think. All she could do was feel, and it was overwhelming to say the least. Within minutes, she climaxed and relaxed against him trying to steady her breathing before turning into him. Rain softly pelted them,
