Chapter 13

Wyatt

I have to be the dumbest son of a bitch on this earth. Who in the hell leaves that beautiful woman in bed to wake up alone? Me, that’s who. Leaving her was the hardest thing, and still, right before the sun is up, I walk away from her.

I made her breakfast and coffee then left a note on her pillow. A fucking note. Stupid.

I didn’t sleep at all, but I never sleep. I just laid there holding her, begging the gods not to take her away from me. I finally have my light and losing her would kill me. But staying there and risking falling asleep was something I couldn’t do to her.

I want to say I would never hurt her, but I can’t guarantee that. When I do get sleep I sometimes wake up with my bed tore apart and shit that I left on the nightstand broken. I know what it is, and Sarah doesn’t deserve any of it.

I fight my demons in my sleep, and they always win. There have been a few times I wake up, and I don’t even know where I am. So, falling asleep with her was not an option.

Then I wonder if I will ever be able to sleep with her in my arms, or is this how it will always be?

After I went home and let Mutt out, I went through my normal day to day stuff. I cut some wood to stack on the side of the cabin. Finished that last of Lucas and Elena’s table. By that afternoon I was feeling restless, so I figured I would go check on the work at the ranch. I assumed Lucas would be busy for the next twenty-four hours.

That's why I'm surprised when I pull up to the ranch and see Lucas’s truck there. Shit, I wasn’t prepared to see him after everything that happened yesterday. Sarah and I didn’t get a chance to talk about what this is between us or where it was going. And we definitely didn’t talk about when we would tell everyone.

I want to scream to the world that she is mine, but she never said she was mine. I kind of just lost control and couldn’t keep my hands off of her, so there wasn’t much talking.

Do I tell Lucas that I’m in love with his sister? I haven't even told Sarah how I feel. Lucas has been my friend since we were kids, but I still don’t know how he will react to Sarah and I being together. We are more like brothers than friends. I would like to think he would be happy. But this is his little sister I'm talking about.

Deciding against telling Lucas anything until Sarah and I talk more, I brace myself and walk up to the ranch door. As I reach the top step, the door opens, and Lucas is standing there, phone to his ear and a scowl on his face.

“Everything okay, man?” I ask as he shuts the door behind him.
