Page Brief ~ Letting Go

Welcome to 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!!!!! *I might be a little excited and hyper. ROFLAMO*

This is a Page Brief that’s new and never posted anywhere else. Yep new and never posted anywhere else. It’s being posted for the first time as part of the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!

Join me daily here on the blog for next Page Brief. There’s also something special for the last day of August 2026 as a wrap up for the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition. 🙂

*holding up a glass of champagne* Wheeee…onto today’s 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition Page Brief!!!

Today’s Page Brief features characters from Simple Arrangement, Intentions, Book #1. Enjoy!

From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Unbound Enchantment features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Intentions series. Eventually when books are released in the Intentions series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Unbound Enchantment Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).

Unbound Enchantment is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Intentions series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).

This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Jackson watched her as she reached out with her hand then stopped herself. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. He stifled his smile as he watched her fight for control not to be in control.

“Don’t think I don’t see you over there eyeballing me.” Iona narrowed her eyes. “And I know you’re deliberately doing this to provoke me.”

Iona crossed her arms and tapped her foot. Jackson licked his lips watching her bare toes. Seeing her barefoot and for her relaxed made him want to take her somewhere to mess up some more. Iona was always so much in control. Except when he pushed her beyond that control. Which he took great pleasure in doing like he was doing now.

“You know I don’t hide it.” Jackson deliberately moved something out of place again. “I love when your eye starts twitching, your mouth furrows just so, your nose wrinkles and that epic scowl comes over that beautiful face. All of that just does something for me.”

“You know I should find it disturbing that you want to push me beyond my control.” Iona rolled her eyes. “Hell, you should find it disturbing you want to push me beyond my control.”

“Yet we both enjoy pushing buttons.” Jackson chuckled and again moved something.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw her step forward and reach then stopped herself. Jackson smiled at her widely wiggling his eyebrows as he moved something else. Iona narrowed her eyes and each of the things he said he loved she did. Staring her right in the eye he moved something else.

“Damn you Jackson.” Iona stepped forward pushing him out of the way and put everything he moved from earlier and recently back.

As she did he could see her shoulders relax. He stood back and let her go ahead with her fixing and fussing. Iona had been so tense since she had been preparing for today. Jackson didn’t see what was the big deal. It was just a friendly get together between some of their family and friends. They’ve had them before so he didn’t see why she was so tense.

Iona finished fixing everything back then let out a breath. “There now it’s fixed.” Iona shook her fist at him. “And you better not mess with it again.”

“I don’t know why you’re freaking out so much. It’s not like we’ve not had friends over before.” Jackson held up his hands and stepped back. “I’m not going to mess with anything… for now.”

“We have but this is the first time that it’s kind of a formal invite thing for us as a couple.” Iona ran her fingers through her hair. “I know I know we’ve had others before but I don’t know why today seems so different.”

“Happy anniversary Iona.” He pulled out the piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to her then walked away.

“It’s not our anniversary.” Iona called after him.

“It’s one of them.” Jackson replied as he continued toward the house. “I can’t believe you forgot. “

“Shit. He’s never going to let me live it down if I don’t remember one of our anniversaries.” Iona muttered then said. “You do know most people have like one anniversary. Not like a million of little ones.”

“One anniversary hah is for the weak.” Jackson said.

“You know you’re a weird man right.” Iona spoke coming towards him.

“Yep. And it’s why you love me.” Jackson paused and waited for her to join him by the door. “You have no idea what anniversary it is right.”

Iona shook her head.

“It’s the anniversary of first time of your letting go for me.”

Iona thought then smiled and leaned in to kiss him. “That’s a good anniversary to celebrate.”

Iona hurried into the house. She hated being late especially when she had plans with Jackson. They had both been so busy they hadn’t been able to spend much alone time. As she opened the door she cocked her head she noted the quite. Frowning she wondered where Jackson was. She had seen his car outside.

She closed the door put down her things before slipping off her shoes then heading into the house. The downstairs lights were off but she saw a faint light upstairs. Iona headed up the steps then made a right going down the hall. The bedroom door was partially closed and a low light spilled out. She went to it and pushed open the door. Iona stepped in then stopped as she spotted Jackson sprawled on the bed. He was sleeping. She smiled softly. Iona backed out the room then went to the bath and cleaned up then changed into something more comfortable. Soon she returned and then slid into the bed beside him.

Jackson jerked awake and stared at her. “Shit…sorry I fell asleep. I’ll go get ready the—“

“Shhh…I’m all comfortable and you’re all comfy to.” Iona slid closer to him and slid her leg between his. “Let’s change plans and instead of going out just have a quite night at home.”

Jackson smiled. “Sounds good to me.” He kissed her. “Binge watch Netflix?”

“Yup.” She snuggled in. “After a nap.”

“I can do a nap.” He placed his hand on her ass pulling her close.

Iona rested her head on his chest. She listened to his heart and couldn’t think of a better way to spend some time together. Just being together.

Iona lifted her head and inhaled deeply. The scent of the area made her smile and so happy. She peddled quicker as she went around the corner. She glanced to her left and noted Jackson was beside her.

That wouldn’t do at all she had a title to maintain. She glanced forward and focused as she pumped the peddles before lowering herself over the handlebars.

“You’re gonna call me King of the trails.” Jackson called.

Iona didn’t reply just flipped him off and kept going. The sound of Jackson laughing behind her spurned her on. She breathed in and out then took the last curve. When she saw the finish line where they had started from she zoomed toward it. She made it, stopped then looked back just as Jackson came in behind her. He lifted an eyebrow and looked so disgruntled she chuckled. Iona lifted her hands in the air and pumped her fists.

“Queen of the Trails.” She yelled as she did whenever she won.

So far she had each time.

Jackson rolled his eyes then said. “No one likes someone who gloats.”

Iona smirked at the familiar words. She replied in kind. ““Well no one better close their eyes, since I am not only gloating but dancing.” Iona clapped her hands and wiggled her shoulders.

“And again you didn’t get off the bike for a proper dance.” Jackson sighed. “This no one will overlook your unsportsmanlike gloating if…”

As he trailed off she noted the twinkle in his eyes. She moved closer.

“If…”

“If you kiss me.” He licked his lips.

“Maybe you should be the one kissing me.”

“Come closer.” He moved closer.

She leaned in and Jackson did too stopping a hairsbreadth from her lips.

“Then again. The actual winner should be the one kissing.” He said in that deep baritone she loved so much. “Double of nothing.”

Jackson winked then took off. Iona shook her head smiling.

“Cheater.” She called.

Maybe she would let him win. Iona snorted at that. She was way too competitive for that. Iona took off after him. She closed the distance between then. Jackson looked back and his eyes widened. She laughed and went faster. He moved quicker and Iona chuckled. Yeah this was a god day on the trails.
