Chapter 32
Chapter 0032 We were on top of the mountain of a hill. Overlooking the city we just left. I was in awe over how perfect this view was. It would only be better at night. “What do you think?” Alec cup and stood behind me. Taking a breath, I didn’t have to back up far to be pressed against him. “This is beautiful. What an amazing view. How did you find this?” “We have owned this for generations. However, we haven’t used it or had a need for it. Lately, we been talking about making an event space out here. Something to bring in more revenue. However, we haven’t looked at the land in years. Dad wantedto clook at it to see if it is possible. Get a sample of the ground to see if the soil is contaminated.” “What do you all own?” I asked. Alec sl*pped am arm around my waist and turned me. “From down about 15 feet to a few miles in each direction.” “When you say a few miles…” “I think we own around 500 acres.”
“Dam n.” Taking alec’s hand that he offered, we started walking. “There is a wooded area that if I remember correctly, is a waterfall.” “Oh really?” We held hands as we walked into the trees until the path becsmaller. Taking the lead, I just followed the path for about a mile, until I hear the sound of splashing water. “Hear it?” Alec asked. “I do.” The breeze felt wonderful so I wasn’t even sweaty. After another hundred yards, the trees opened. up to a gorgeous waterfall to a steam below. “Oh wow.” “Just like I remember it.” Alec passedand walked over to a rock that was sitting by the waters edge. Following him, I sat down next to him but there was still space between us. Not much though. “When were you here last?” “Oh, it’s been years. I was in elementary school, I think.”
So no girls brought here. “That long? Why?” nere, I guess.” “Ah. If I owned this. If be here everyday. Actually, I would have built my own cabin up here!” I laughed. “Well,” Alec laughed too. “It’s no beach or tropical place but you have permission to visit here anytime.” He put his arm aroundand pulledagainst him. My heart was racing. My head kept saying no but my b*dy was saying yes. Laying head on his shoulder, we sat like this for awhile. That is, until my curiosity got the best of me. “Alec?” “Yeah?” Scooting back so I could face him, he turned and looked atconcerned. “Jasper had this weird feeling about Emmy. “Yeah, he said he was just drawn to her.” “Emmy felt the same. Do you think we can tell who is our mates are by that feeling before we are 18?” Alec sighed and looked at the water. “Maybe. I’m not real sure.” “Do you feel that way with anyone right now?” “You mean you?” Alec called my bluff, “Yes or just anyone.” “I didn’t bring anyone here. I brought you. As for your question, I’m not sure. I’m not sure exactly what Jasper felt. What I do know is I can’t get you out of my head.” His hand cup and cupped my head as his thumb rubbed my cheek. I’ve never had this feeling or even wanted to do this with anyone. If that’s the mate bond, I don’t know.” I wasn’t sure what to say. He toldthe truth. My heart fluttered but I was hoping for a defiantly yes, believe you are my mate. 2 “What I do know, everyday I look forward to hopefully see you. If you end up being my mate, I’ll be the luckiest dam n guy in the world. If not, I will be severely disappointed.”1 “Only because you won’t get to know my real IQ.” I joked to hide my real emotions.
“Do you do that often? Joke to avoid talking about your emotions.” Alec asked. His hand fell from my face. I instantly missed it.
