Love Begins with Fate (32 page)

“Hey” Kelsey began trying to get her friend’s mind off the topic when there was a knock on the door. The dogs outside were barking alerting
her company had arrived. “I’ll get it!” Kelsey called as she raced to the door pulling Hannah with her.

It just so happened to be their first guest of the weekend
were people Kelsey missed most. Frankie, Anna, Olivia, Ivan, Jeremy, and Maggie all stood crowding each other at the door. Kelsey beamed backing away and letting them in. It had only been Friday, Saturday night would be the bonfire and everyone was to leave by Sunday afternoon. “Hey guys!” Parker called as he strut down the stairs followed by Ryder.

“Isn’t it the man of the house” Ivan called. Everyone laughed and
Parker smiled.

“Hey doesn’t bother me any…”
Parker chuckled. “I am happier than a clam here.” He beamed as he pulled Kelsey into his chest and kissed her neck which caused her to squirm in front of her guests.

“
Parker …” She hissed quietly. “Why don’t you set up our guests in a room?” She asked. They had planned on their closest friends staying in the house with them… and these were their closest of friends. One of their first tasks was to clear out the two extra rooms, Kelsey’s old one and her mother’s old room.

“Fine love,
” He laughed taking a bag from each of the girls. “Right this way guys.” He shook his head and escorted the guys upstairs.

“Silly boy,
” Kelsey giggled as she wrapped her arms around her girlfriends. “Anyone interesting in helping make treats?” she asked with a grin.

When
Parker and the guys returned back downstairs they found their girls laughing in the kitchen. He hadn’t seen Kelsey so happy for a few days. She had seemed slightly sad still over the death of the horse and he felt horrible that he couldn’t ease the pain. Walking up behind his girl, Parker gripped around her waist and tugged her back into his chest. “You’re so sexy…” he purred as he kissed her neck.

“Hey…” she complained. “My hands are dirty.”

“Precisely, a great reason to tease you…” He cooed kissing down the skin of her shoulder.

Kelsey pushed him back slightly then looked over at the people gathering in the kitchen watching them with smiles on their faces. “
Parker…” she whined.

“Don’t be so worried.” He mumbled against her ear as he nibbled on her earlobe. Their affection was a normal thing but the group of people gathering in the kitchen thought it was extremely interesting to watch.

“Uhgh” Kelsey groaned as she pushed herself away from Parker. “Annie will finish the cookies later… anyone interested in a movie or games?” She asked as she began to wash her hands in the sink.

Parker
didn’t let her frustration stop him though. Whether there were guests here or not he was going to show her the same passionate affection that he always did. He wrapped his arms around Kelsey’s waist while she washed her hands and walked with her as she dried them.

When she was finally finished
Parker scooped her into his arms and kissed her. There was a cacophony of answers called out and noticing most were for a movie, assumedly because of the long ride here, Parker called out “Movie it is! Guys pick!” He called as he put Kelsey back on the floor and raced into the other room. He was followed by chuckling guys and squealing playfully angry girls.

Annie had the help of hands on the ranch to make homemade pizza
, which was loved by everyone who ate it. After dinner was made, anyone who was on the ranch in the same age group had gathered in the large living room for entertainment. More had started to arrive but most of the people wouldn’t arrive until tomorrow morning.

As it became late, Kelsey and
Parker had slipped away to grab blankets since most everyone wanted to watch movies for a while. They wrapped up on one of the recliner chairs by themselves Parker’s back against the chair and Kelsey between his legs with the blanket covering most of her.

She had changed into something that was comfortable and
Parker was enjoying making her squirm. He slipped his hand under the blanket and ran his fingers across her stomach then up underneath her shirt to cup her breast.

“Stop
,” She grunted as she pushed his hand back above the blanket.

He smirked as he whispered into her ear. “We can go and enjoy ourselves in our room…
with the big television…” He purred his voice slightly husky at the thought of being alone.

Kelsey squirmed as he ran his fingers back beneath the blanket once again. “
Parker, we have company…” She muttered.

“They are just fine. Most are sleeping or preoccupied…”
Parker chuckled softly, as he looked over to the couples who were making out and practically rubbing themselves all over each other.

Kelsey
pushed his hand back onto the topside of the blanket and huffed. “I’m watching this…”

“You are not.” He teased as he sucked on the soft skin of Kelsey’s neck making her moan quietly. His hand traced down underneath the blanket and he fiddled with the hem of her pajama shorts. “You know I would love nothing more than to take you upstairs and…” he whispered as he rubbed between her legs.

Kelsey couldn’t help but moan again as his hand created a gentle friction between her thighs. She squirmed trying to free herself from him but he pulled her tighter into his chest. “You are so sexy when you squirm around like that.” He purred seductively.

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.

Chapter 53

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 bef
ore 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. Everyon
e 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.
