12 CHAPTER TWELVE

His eyes went round, his nostrils flared, his jaw locked—every muscle in his gorgeous body tensed for five seconds. His hands lifted, landing on my shoulders and running down my arms to take my hands in his.

“I’m a mess,” I whispered. “You know that.”

He shook his head. “You’re strong.”

“You think so?”

“Yes.” His hands tightened around mine. “And loyal.”

“Are you…will you kiss me now?” I asked.

“I know it’s not a good idea,” he said, his voice low, husky, making the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

“Because?” I needed him to explain why I shouldn’t launch myself at him.

“Allie…” His hand tucked my damp hair behind my ear. “You’re…skittish. I don’t want to scare you off.”

“You think kissing me would scare me off?” I asked, completely confused.

He didn’t say anything for a minute, looking tense yet thoughtful all at once. “I think once we start, it’s gonna be hard to stop.”

Every hair on my body was on end then, every inch of my body hot. For a moment I thought my heart would literally thump its way out of my chest. “O-okay,” I breathed.

He led me to the truck, opening the driver door and standing back so I could slide in first.

“I’m still a little wet,” I said.

He smiled down at me. “I don’t mind.”

I slid across the bench seat. There was plenty of room this time, but I still sat right in the middle, one leg on either side of the gear shift. He got in, looked at me, at my legs, and let out a long, slow breath.

“I can move over,” I offered.

“No,” he whispered tightly as he started the truck, the engine roaring to life. His arm rested along my thigh, his hand resting on my knee once he’d changed gears. Every time he shifted, I felt another jolt of heavy-hot tingles. His fingers brushed my knee, and I shivered.

“Cold?” he asked.

“A little,” I lied.

He lifted his arm. “Come here.” His voice was rough again. I loved the way it sounded.

I burrowed into his side, resting my head on his chest. It didn’t seem weird to be so tangled up in him, just good and right.

“You have fun?” he asked.

“Today?”

“Yeah.”

“Guess so.”

His fingers slid through my hair. His heart was beating crazy fast. “What?”

I shook my head. “Next time we’ll go when you can come too.”

His arm tightened around me. I liked it, a lot. We drove like that the rest of the way home. It was only when he had to shift gears that I moved, and once that was done, his arm was warm and secure around me again.

I was kind of bummed when we pulled onto the gravel drive. “Staying?” I asked as he parked.

He looked at me, smiling. “I can’t. Rodeo in Kerrville tonight. Gonna be tough enough to get everything ready and get there on time. Not that I’m complaining.”

“No. Sure. Of course. Is there…can I do anything?” Like there was anything I could do.

“Will you come tonight to the rodeo?” His brown eyes watched, waited.
