Crystal sat rocking in front of the fire. Her body tingled; her mouth still felt the imprint of Travis’s kisses. She stared at the dancing flames that he had built, knowing he had built more flames than that inside her. A high wind had caught her and tumbled her across the earth and then dumped her down. Impressions and memories fell through her mind like raindrops spilling over glass.

His kisses had shattered the notion that he found her less than appealing. That was the most dazzling discovery. He had kissed her in a manner that could mean nothing else but that the man wanted her. And wanted her with his whole being.

She rocked steadily, trying to fathom her discovery, relishing it, mulling it over and over. Travis Black Eagle desired her. She would never doubt that again. Not when the man had kissed her the way he had tonight… as is if he had waited a lifetime for those kisses.

She had waited a lifetime for them, and it had been worth the wait. Never again would she look back at Harvey Goodwill with anything but a deep thankfulness that he had kept them both out of a loveless marriage. For the first time in her life, she truly felt like a desirable woman.

Yet Travis did not want another baby. She understood his hurt, understood his reluctance and fear. But if he desired her—even if there were no love in his heart—if he desired her, he might succumb to his need. And if all that stood between them was his fear of another loss, she could deal with that. She was not delicate and dainty like his Elizabeth and she had reminded him of the fact. He would think about it. She was a tall woman and a hardy one. The world was full of people delivered by women who got through childbirth and survived to raise their children.

Patience, patience, she told herself. He loved Jacob, had been close to his brother. He would see the need to give Jacob a brother or sister.

She must be patient. And in the meantime …

A delicious heat filled her that came from memories rather than the fire. His kisses had been headier than the bubbling champagne she had had at Baltimore parties. Always she would remember him pulling her into his arms, pressing her against him, his maleness so hard against her. He wanted her. That knowledge was magic, changing the night, making everything vivid, unforgettable.

The high plains were no longer windswept and lonesome, but filled with hope and a future. The dark night no longer held unknown terrors, but the promise of consummation, completion.

The solitary enigma of Travis Black Eagle held a tantalizing hope of his becoming her man. Her man.

She loved him. He might never love her back, but he wanted her and he was good to her. And they could enjoy each other’s company. That was more than she had ever dared hope for.

And the Mandeville’s party was coming up. For the first time she could remember, Crystal looked forward to a party.
