Sawyer

I screwed up last night . . . royally.

I felt the jealousy creeping in the moment Quinn asked me how she looked in that little dress. She looked like a damn delicious snack—but more than that, she looked positively radiant. I wanted to pull her into my arms in that moment and tell her to go to the Fall Fest as mine. Mine.

I let the fear of losing her cloud my judgment—not that I even had her to begin with. Watching her laugh and twirl around that dance floor in another man’s arms killed me. When I approached her for a dance, I was going to kiss her in front of everyone. I wanted to mark her, to let the world know she belonged to me. But I froze and ruined the moment.

I lay in bed this morning staring up at the ceiling in my bedroom. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I know I can’t continue like this. I’m either going to snap and kill every man who looks twice at her, or I’ll drive her to snap and kill me.

I want her, and truthfully, I feel like I need her.

I pull the covers back, and the floor is freezing as my bare feet hit the wooden planks. I grab my slippers and walk over to the window.

“Shit.” Looks like we had another big snowfall up here in the mountains last night. I trudge to the kitchen and turn the coffee pot on, standing there waiting for it to be ready. I’d give anything to see Quinn walking out of my spare bedroom this morning with her mussed-up hair and flannel cat pajamas. Hell, I wish she were curled up in my bed right now.

I made sure Pearl texted me last night when she dropped off Quinn. I stayed in town and grabbed a drink at The Place with Drake and Colton Slade. We had some business to discuss and I needed to cool off before I came home and did something stupid like try to convince Quinn I’m not a complete fucking asshole.

I need to get a jump on shoveling and snow blowing this morning. I quickly down a cup of coffee and shove some toast in my mouth before heading outside. I’m about to go straight to the shed when I decide I should apologize to Quinn. I walk down the small flight of stairs to her door and knock. I don’t hear anything on the other side, so I knock again, louder.

A few seconds later, she opens the door wearing her cat pajamas, a thick blanket, boots, gloves, and a hat.

“What the hell?” I ask before stepping past her into the cabin.

“Excuse me, this is my private space. Just because you own the h—”

“Did the generator go out again?” I flip the light switch on and off and nothing happens. “Goddammit, Quinn, how long has it been out and why didn’t you come tell me?”

“It happened in the middle of the night, Sawyer.” Her face tells me exactly what I already know: that she’s still mad about last night.
