Her heart swelled. “Yes,” she said softly. “Yes, we do.”
“So it seems as if this house move has to work. Your grandmother would want it that way.”
“It’s going to work.” And suddenly Katie was absolutely sure it would.
Hours later, when the crew had eased the house off the flatbed without incident, she wasn’t surprised. After everyone else left, she and Jess stayed on, arms around each other as they gazed at the little adobe.
“Think it’ll be big enough?” Jess asked.
“For two of us? Of course.”
“I was thinking three, maybe four of us.”
She turned into his arms. “If this is your subtle way of asking if I want kids—”
“It is.”
“The answer is yes. Kids, dog, play set in the backyard—”
“I can build that for them, you know.” He pulled her closer.
She wiggled against him, teasing him into responding just because she could. “Don’t you mean you’re going to erect it?”
“Exactly.” He cupped her bottom and settled his hips firmly against hers. “And it’ll have lots of levels, because I feel the urge to erect it so it’s thrusting skyward. I’ll use lots of screws and nuts and bolts, too, not to mention my big ol’ hammer.”
She batted her eyelashes at him. “Jess, are you talking about sex?”
Leaning down, he brushed his lips over hers. “No, you’re the one who talks about sex, Crazy Katie. I’m the one who takes action. Let’s go back to the truck and I’ll show you my tools.”
“You want to do it in the truck?” As usual, all it took was a light kiss and a sexy suggestion and she was willing and eager.
“Yeah.” He nibbled on her lip.
“It might be a little cramped.”
“No problem.” Lifting his head, he gave her a smile so sexy it took her breath away. “I’ve memorized the Kama Sutra.”
