CHAPTER SIXTEEN

God, she was beautiful. Brennan’s breath hitched and his stomach twisted. If someone would have told him two months ago that he’d meet a lovely woman and start to have feelings so quickly he would have laughed. And yet, here he was. Neck deep in wanting Charlotte more than he wanted his next breath.

“Can I open my eyes?” She slanted one open.

“Yes. Open your eyes and tell me how you feel?”

“Amazing! Alive. Can I do this every day?” Her eyes lit.

“I’m sure we could work something out.” The idea of having her here, on the ranch, every day made him happy. “What’s your favorite thing, Charlotte?”

“Chocolate.” A smile curved her lovely, pink lips. “And now horse rides.”

“I swear you make Mother Nature prettier,” he said on an exhale of breath.

She met his gaze across the short distance. Her smile widened and her breasts bounced. The dress had pulled out from underneath her and the material fluttered in the breeze like a colorful flag. He followed the line of her toned legs from her firm thighs to the tops of the boots, then lifted his gaze to her face. Her hair caressed her cheeks and she pulled the strands away, but they found their way back to her flushed skin. The necklace he bought her shimmered between her breasts.

What was that unfamiliar feeling in his chest? It took his breath. He couldn’t imagine being anywhere but here, with her.

Was it love?

How could that be possible?

“Can we go a little faster?” she asked.

“Sure. When you’re ready give the reins a gentle swat.”

She flicked her wrists and Sam obeyed, taking off in a trot. Charlotte laughed and bounced higher in the saddle. Brennan followed, his eye stuck to her firm bottom. He clicked his tongue and Dolly caught up to Sam.

“I’ve never seen someone catch on so quick.”

“I’d say Sam just knows what she’s supposed to do.”

They rode in silence, enjoying the beautiful day and how blue and flawless the sky was. They reached a clearing and a group of deer looked up from where they grazed the grass. Brennan slowed Dolly and Charlotte did the same with Sam.

“We’re close to the creek. Let’s walk from here.” Brennan slid out of the saddle, then stepped over to help Charlotte.

She let go of the reins and slid out into his arms. He held her, enjoying being close to her. Breathing in deeply, he inhaled her scent, an aphrodisiac to his soul. She stared at him through the veil of her thick lashes, her plush bottom lip trembled. Those amber eyes targeted all his weaknesses and vulnerabilities, threading the holes in his doubt that he could be having such strong feelings.

There was so much he wanted to say, but he couldn’t divulge anything, not yet.

He cleared his throat and took a step back. “Let’s take a walk.”

She took his hand and they strolled through the tall grass in silence. Once they reached the screen of ancient oaks the sound of water echoed through the maze of trees.
