“Right this way.” He opened the door. Gemma gave him an incredulous look as she passed by him and through the door.
“What in the world?” Surprise bubbled up in her belly. “I had no idea this was here.” Inside was a loft area, where a dozen lanterns glowed around the perimeter of a blanket. In the center was a mason jar filled with daisies, and a silver tray topped with a spread of crackers, cheeses, and fruits displayed like artwork was to the side. Next to the food was a bottle of something on ice in a wooden bucket with two glasses ready to be filled.
“I didn’t think you did, so I thought I’d surprise you.” Jamon put her basket down and took the blanket from her arms. “Ever danced in a hayloft before?” He took her hand and pulled her to him.
She noticed a ladder that went directly to the ground. “You mean we could’ve just climbed the ladder?” Gemma shook her head and laughed.
“Yeah, but what fun would that have been?” He pulled her close, and she forgot about hay bales and ladders. His lean and muscular body felt incredible against hers. His cologne of leather and spice intoxicated her, and she was cast under his spell. “Playlist,” Jamon called out, and music echoed through a small speaker. She laid her head on his shoulder as they swayed in each other’s arms.
She put her hand on his chest and felt his heartbeat, steady and strong. This was where she belonged. Her home was in his heart, and that was nothing she’d planned for. Gemma lifted her head and looked into the deep brown eyes of the man she loved, and she knew that sometimes, the best things in life were unscheduled.
