They made dinner together and ended up lounging on the sofa after they'd finished eating. It felt so nice to be able to relax out in the open, without worrying about whether anyone was coming home or not.
"I love being able to just relax like this," Molly told him softly as she snuggled up to him a bit more. They had a film on the TV but they hadn't been paying it much attention. His fingers were running through her hair, making her feel a little sleepy.
"Uh huh, me too," Jake answered in a similar soft tone. He wasn't quite ready to say the other three little words, but that sentiment he was willing to agree with. Truth be told, he did feel a little chicken for being more than happy to have sex with her but not being able to say that he loved her. He'd never been the type to sleep around so all three girls he'd been with were special to him. But his feelings for Molly definitely trumped those for the other two. In fact, his feelings for the girl in his arms made him question how much he could really have felt for Becca and Jamie-Lynn, because they paled in comparison.
"Ye okay? Yer awfully quiet," she said, turning onto her side a little so she could look up at him.
"I'm fine honey, don't worry 'bout me," he gave her a smile, resuming his stroking of her hair, seeing her relax instantly. Maybe he should save the heavy thoughts for when he was alone, so they could make the most of this rare weekend together. "What are the plans for tomorrow then?" he asked her now, returning his attention to the moment.
"Well, first I think a nice lay in might be in order," Molly said, turning on to her back now and gave him a wink. "And then... seeing some of the other ranches out here, I don't think ours is done up enough for a 4th of July weekend. I'm talkin' fairy lights, the star spangled banner 'n lots of red, white 'n blue," she added as she made her accent heavier, making him laugh.
"Oh I'd love to see Jennifer's face when she gets back on Monday 'n sees that," Jake told her, getting a poke in the chest. "Okay, so we're makin' the ranch look more country, got it. Anythin' else?" he asked, conceding.
"We should probably get food, especially meat, for the BBQ," she added.
"Who's comin'?"
"Bethy, yer pa, us, Hannah, 'n I think she said she's bringin' Jo-Lillie."
"Are we buyin' fireworks, or just watchin' other folks'?" he asked curiously. The ranches where they lived were spread out a bit more than closer to town, where they would probably be putting on a display. They might be able to see some of it from here without having to buy any of their own.
"I don't really mind," she shrugged now. She liked looking at them, but they were a little loud for her taste.
"Okay, we'll wait 'n see if they got a deal on or not," Jake decided. Their conversation sounded so every day pedestrian, and it felt nice, normal.
What was even nicer was that they could stay out here for as long as they wanted, before going to bed together.
Molly woke up in the morning to find the bed next to her empty. She frowned as she looked around for a clue as to where he could be. She really hoped that he hadn't left out of habit, as she sat up in bed now so she could see her room better. His clothes were still on the floor next to hers, so at least that ruled out that he'd gone home. It wasn't until she got up to check the living room, in case he was there, that she heard the shower in her bathroom running. Of course he was already up and getting ready, but she would've hoped that he would've wanted to stay in bed with her. But never mind, she was resourceful and she could think of another way to spend time together.
She gave a knock on the bathroom door, before she carefully opened it. Molly could hear him humming to himself, and it made her smile. "Room for one more in there, cowboy?" she asked as seductively as she could.
"Why don't ye come find out?" Jake asked, as he opened the shower cabin door and pulled her in, not caring she was still wearing her stringy top and boxers. She gave a squeal when she first got wet, but they were soon cut off by him kissing her. He peeled her stringy top off, leaning down to take her breast in his mouth as soon as it fell free from her top. His hands rolled her boxers down her hips and bum, caressing her thighs as he pushed them down to where they would then drop. His fingers teased their way up her inner thigh, hearing her breath catch as they teasingly entered her. His mouth released her breast to kiss her on the lips, her arms wrapping around him as his fingers teased her clit. Jake groaned when her right hand reached between them and started massaging him.
