Love Begins with Fate

by Owens, Lindsey

  Kelsey froze and turned her head so she could see him slightly. “We are not doing this in here…” She panted softly.

  Crashing his lips on hers he flipped her so she was straddling him. His hand cupped her butt and he pushed the footrest down lifting himself and her up. “Goodnight everyone,” Parker puffed as he walked out of the room, crashing his lips down onto Kelsey’s once again.

  They didn’t make it far before he was groping her body again. His hands messaged her breast and she grinned herself against the growing arrousal in his pants. She wanted to get closer. “You little tease.” Parker chuckled as he moved quickly up the stairs and burst into their bedroom.

  As he gently set her down on her feet, he turned the lock on the door before turning to face her again. Kelsey stared at him with big beautiful eyes. As soon as he smiled she rushed at him, jumping into his arms. He stumbled slightly, but lifted her up one hand beneath her butt and the other supporting her back as he carefully carried her over to the bed and climbed up above her.

  There was a pounding on the door the next morning that made Parker groan. His head was protesting his existence right now… he hadn’t slept much, he had spent much of the night making love to Kelsey and the rest peering down, watching her sleeping in his arms. He loved it, she was so beautiful, so amazing, so wonderful, and all his.

  “What?” He hissed as he yanked the door open, forgetting they had company.

  “Uh…” Maggie muttered softly as she stared at Parker’s bare chest.

  “Oh, Maggie…” He said “uh… sorry.”

  “It’s okay Parker… uh… is Kelsey up?” She asked quietly.

  “Just a moment,” He said walking away. He had left the door slightly ajar and Maggie couldn’t help but watch as he walked away. Parker was in nothing more than boxers, she could see every inch of his strong back muscles twitch as he moved.

  “Ahhem…” A masculine voice said behind her and Maggie whipped around in shock.

  “OH, Jeremy… I was just getting Kelsey…” she muttered to her boyfriend.

  “Uh huh? Sure, you were sweetie. Don’t worry about it. I know I have a lot more to offer than his ass.” He chuckled pointing over to Parker who turned and chuckled.

  “You wish man!” Parker called as he sat down on the bed and gently pushed on Kelsey’s shoulder. She mumbled and opened her eyes tiredly.

  “What’s with all the noise?” She grumbled.

  “Your friend’s at the door. She’s getting in trouble for watching my sexy ass walk…” He joked.

  “Huh?” Kelsey said sitting up. The blanket across her chest dropped slightly into her lap as she did so.

  Parker grunted as he quickly pulled the blanket up “I don’t think he needs to see that.” Parker whispered as he reached over to the floor and pushed a shirt over Kelsey’s head. She hadn’t been naked but she did have a very tiny night gown on.

  “Awe, come on!” Someone called from the door and Parker growled as he jumped up.

  He ran toward the door and practically tackled his friend punching him playfully. “Boys!” Maggie screamed.

  “I don’t think so!” Kelsey hissed as she stood from the bed, Parker’s tee shirt falling down past her night gown and not allowing anyone to view what they shouldn’t. “Get out of my house if you are going to rough house and play around. There’s plenty of room for that outside.”

  “Sorry.” Parker muttered as he pushed gently away from Jeremy and Ivan, whom had joined in the mix.

  “Sorry Kelsey.” The other guys apologized.

  Maggie huffed “We just wanted to see if you would like to go out for breakfast… you know make it easier on Annie if we all went out this morning…”

  “That sounds good.” Kelsey told her. “Maybe some food in these three will calm them down…” she groaned.

  “I doubt it.” Hannah barked in laughter as she pushed through the hoard of people in the hallway.

  “I do know what will later…” Kelsey smirked before adding “FOOTBALL!”

  Chapter 54

  After breakfast, everyone sat and chatted for a while before making their way back to the ranch. Then as they waited for the rest of the invitees to arrive they played a game or two of football. Kelsey and the girls watched from the sidelines and helped pack up the supplies for the bonfire in the back of the wagon.

  At three o’clock they left whether everyone had arrived or not. If they didn’t make it they would have to walk. Everyone loaded onto the back of wagon, while Kelsey, Parker, and a select six people, Maggie and Jeremy, Ryder and Hannah, and Ivan and Olivia rode horses. There were so many people that Kelsey had asked Nick to bring the wagon multiple times. He had already off loaded it once dropping the supplies with Mark and a few of his friends.

  They were settled down in the large field beside the lake on Kelsey’s land. People were playing football, kicking soccer balls around, and playing in the water with not much more on than their underwear. Some people were gathered around the tables filled with food and coolers with pop and beer.

  “When are you going to start the games?” Someone yelled. It was Vic, one of the local farm boys from the area. He was surrounded by girls from both the city and the country.

  “You want to start Vic?” She called back as she pulled away from her kiss with Parker.

  “Heck yeah!” He yelled as he gripped hold of his horse’s reins and tugged him away from the people. Vic was one of the many locals which had arrived on horseback.

  Everyone knew there were going to be games and horses were a big part of the country life here. “LISTEN EVERYONE,” Vic yelled.

  Everyone’s attention slowly turned toward Vic. Kelsey had shut off the music and those who were dancing had stopped moving to the beat, some yelled “what happened to the music” while others hushed people. Vic was very popular and many of those here swooned for his attention or paid close attention to his every word.

  “Kelsey told me I could start the games!” He yelled.

  People whooped and whistled while others mounted their horses. In total there were around twenty horses here. Kelsey had made sure that Nick and Mark had set up the temporary fencing beforehand to keep them from running off.

  “I call first shot on archery!” he yelled.

  Parker smirked and leaned down to Kelsey “Archery, really?” he asked amused.

  “Yep,” Kelsey beamed. “You want in?” She asked.

  “Heck yeah!” he chuckled. “I am good at that.”

  Kelsey grinned devilishly “Okay stud.” She said seductively before yelling out and startling him “Parker get’s second shot! Get him a horse!”

  “What?” He asked confused “Wait… what about a horse?” He stuttered.

  The games went on through the evening until it was late enough nobody could see what they were doing any longer. Parker had been shot down quickly by the horseback archery contest. He had no clue he would have to run the horse while shooting the target. But he did quite well on the next game which was tug-a-war, even though he had a team to help him.

  There was people skinny dipping, Kelsey and Hannah included, bobbing for apples, which actually turned into a make out game of passing the apple and seeing who could pass it without dropping it. Apparently, guys caught on way too quickly and figured it was just more fun to drop the apples and make out with the girl instead. People were playing spin the bottle, making out, and roasting marshmallows.

  Kelsey couldn’t help but laugh when Ryder and Parker pulled out their ‘secret’ items which they had requested Annie find for them. It wasn’t something as bad as Kelsey had thought though, squirt guns and water balloons.

  Parker had started it. When people had begun to get comfortable by the warmth of the fire, he took his first shot and laughed running away. Kelsey had tried to hide behind him but apparently she made a good shield.

  The night was long and tiring. Large tents had been set up for people who chose to sleep in them but Kelsey
and her select group of friends had made their way back to the house when they wanted their sleep. Mark and his buddies would watch over the fire. Ryder and Hannah still shared Ryder’s old room while the others had taken up the rooms which Parker had showed them too the night before.

  The bonfire was really a start to a new life for Kelsey and Parker. They had begun planning their wedding with the help of Annie, a wedding planner, and Parker’s mom Grace the very next day. Kelsey had loved Parker’s family from nearly the moment she had met them, they were everything she lacked in her family… a family. Sage had visited them for a while during the summer and Kelsey had convinced Grace and Carson to let her bring a puppy home with her. Their wedding was to be in the spring the next year, which would give them plenty of time to plan.

  Parker had taken well to the position of ‘man of the house’ and had become the true rancher which Kelsey needed in her life. He had been the strong and dominant figure that she couldn’t be and she had become the loving and caring person which Parker wanted in a woman.

  The future, well nobody could ever plan that but them. Yet, Parker and Kelsey dreamed of their future together. They planned everything together; the improvements of the ranch, the improvements of their relationship, and the additions to their family which they would have some day.
