more tries." His unzipped her slacks and pushed them down off her hips.
"You want to read in bed naked? I'd let you read your book to me!" That sounded like a terrific idea to her.
"One more guess!" He unclasped her bra and dropped it to the floor.
"Um...You want to draw smiley faces on my belly?"
"Nope. Wrong three times. Now you have to pay the penalty!"
She frowned. "Oh no. What could that penalty be?"
"Why don't I show you?" He pulled her down onto the bed with him.
Chapter Seven
Addie started to live for the day Jake's edits were done. Always she'd lived for her store, but she found she craved his attention. He finished the edits on Friday the following week, so Addie arranged to take the following week off for their trip to Montana and apartment hunting. They'd already been married four weeks when they got on the plane to pack up his things.
When they landed, Scott and Savannah were waiting at the airport with Kaeden sleeping in his car seat at the back of the SUV. Jake climbed into the back seat and let Addie sit in the middle with Kaeden. "You staying at your old house, Jake?" Scott asked.
"Yeah. We have too much to get done to do anything else." Jake sighed. "This isn't just a fun trip." He wished it was though. He wished they were staying with Scott and Savannah, so the two women could get to know one another better. It would be nice if they were as close as he and Scott were.
Savannah turned and looked at Addie. "Do you want to come to supper tonight? Or do you want us to go to a grocery store so you'll have food there? You'll be surprised at the lack of delivery places here."
Addie smiled. "I know New Yorkers are blessed with more delivery places than the rest of the country. I don't mind cooking, but I'd love to come over as well. It would be nice to get to know you and Scott better." She loved what she knew of Savannah.
"Well, why don't we drop you off to get started? We took Scott's truck to Jake's house, so you'll have something to drive while you're here."
"Thanks for that," Jake said. "We could have rented a car, but this makes it a bit easier. We won't have to take load after load of boxes to be shipped. We can just do it all in one or two trips with the truck."
"My truck is your truck. You wreck it? You buy me a new one. Heck, just wreck it toward the end of your time here. I need a new truck anyway." Because they were sitting at a stoplight, Scott looked in the rearview mirror at his friend to see his reaction.
"I'll buy you an old beat up truck!" Jake told him. "Maybe I can find one like you drove in high school."
Scott laughed. "Oh yeah, that would be awesome. Remember that time we were driving up and down drag and my truck died, and you had to get out and push?"
Jake rolled his eyes. "I was trying to flirt with girls out the window, and the next thing I knew they were at the next light, and we were still sitting there like a couple of morons." He'd been mortified at the time, but he had no problem laughing about it now.
Addie looked at Jake. "You were flirting with girls?" She tried to sound angry with him, but she couldn't help but smile at the picture of the two men stranded while the girls went on.
"Don't worry, baby. We were barely sixteen, so you'd have been about nine. It doesn't count if you were pre-pubescent." Jake winked at her.
Savannah turned around from the front seat and looked at Addie. "Scott uses that line with me, too. We'll show them differently later."
Addie grinned. She and Savanna had spoken on the phone several times, and she was happy to be able to call the other woman a friend. She looked forward to having some face to face time with her, and not just phone, texts, and internet. Sometimes you just needed to be able to touch someone.
"We're really thankful you're willing to cook tonight. It'll save me from having to spend the time. I think we're
