Chapter Six

Witt dug his shovel into the manure pile with a fervor born of a deep-seated need to be with Shelby. The faster he got through this shit, the quicker he’d be in town with her.

As he shoveled, his muscles burned and his mind wandered. For several minutes he drowned in memories of having her on that porch railing, grinding against her while he kissed the hell out of her.

His fly bulged with his erection, which was damn uncomfortable for working. This wasn’t normally his job, but he’d agreed to do the worst chore on the ranch to make it up to his brothers. Beck was absolutely right—he’d been too focused on Vixen and dumped his work on them.

When he feared he might pop his zipper, he jerked his thoughts away from Shelby.

He’d been shocked to discover she’d been in so many serious relationships. He didn’t want to get in a long line. He’d walk away first and suffer the resulting heart pangs. But the way she’d kissed him back made him dream of having her forever.

He was too damn attached to the woman for his peace of mind. But what else could he do? He wasn’t going to give up when he felt so strongly about her.

The steady rhythm of the hard work soothed him, but his mind detoured to the previous day’s worries about Shelby. When she’d given up her own beliefs and ideas in favor of pleasing other people, it worried him. Did she really know what she liked and who she was? Could she be lying to him, transforming into somebody she wasn’t to please him too?

He dragged his teeth over his lower lip and filled his shovel again. If she wasn’t showing her true colors to anyone, no wonder her relationships hadn’t worked.

He had to do everything in his power to make her feel safe enough to forget about pretending with him.

He’d already witnessed her tears over Alex. Nothing got more genuine than that. And when she laughed, the carefree sound was far from forced.

Still, he detected the stony barrier between them. Sure, she responded to his touch. But if he stopped making the long drive to Vixen, would she care?

Burning to be with her now, he hit the manure pile double-time. Two hours of shoveling followed by the quickest shower known to man, and he could be in Vixen with a little time to spare before Alex arrived from school.

By the time he finished, he was aching to hear her musical voice and lay eyes on her. He barely remembered driving to Vixen—the miles flew by. Funny how the same trip by school bus had felt like an eternity as a kid. Math and science hadn’t held the same appeal as Shelby.

He pushed the door open. The sound of the bell made him as hard as stone. Like a trained monkey, the bell meant being with the woman who’d become his life in a very short time.

She stood behind the counter, gaze on him, blue eyes glowing like candles.
