Have it sweet

“Brenda, you got a minute?” He called the question up the stairs to where she was getting dressed. Tonight was the final visit with the rodeo sponsors, reviewing the placement of banners and promotional material in and around the set-up at the fairgrounds. “Need to talk to you, honey.”

When he had come back into the house from working in the barn office and checked his phone, there had been a message from Mason asking him to phone in. The man himself wasn’t available when he made the call, but Red told him Mason wanted him back in Chicago for a day and Digger had already gotten him a ticket, leaving tonight. He had called and left a message for Digger, making sure the man knew the ticket needed to be round trip because he would not be staying in Chicago. It was sudden, but if the club needed him, he would go, no questions. He just wouldn’t stay.

Bee called, “Coming,” a moment before he heard her feet on the stairs. He shook his head. The woman managed to hit every squeaky board every single time she traversed the staircase. He watched as she used her grip on the post to swing around and head to the kitchen where he stood, grinning at the expression on her face. Equal parts pleasure and amusement, her smile stretched her lips, curving them up at the corners.

Opening his arms wide, there was a rush of satisfaction when she walked into them without pause, no questions in her eyes. Not yesterday. Not today. And, he prayed, not tomorrow. A gift, he thought, having her trust me like this. Wrapping himself around her, he held still for a moment just soaking in the feel of her, and then said, “There isn’t any way I can say this that won’t make you wonder for at least a minute, so let me say up front, the tickets are round trip and I’m back here tomorrow night.” She jerked, making a noise and trying to pull back, but he tightened his arms, holding her close. “I got a call a couple of minutes ago. My boss in Chicago needs me back there tonight. I fly out of Midland in about four hours. I’ll be right back here tomorrow night. Back in our bed tomorrow night. Home.” He kissed the side of her head. “Home, with you, my Bee.”

Slowly, she relaxed and her chest expanded with a long, soundless breath. Then, without argument or hesitation, simply giving him what he needed, she quietly said, “Okay.” With that single word, he knew he held her trust, fully and without question. She believed what he said, that he wasn’t leaving, that he would be back here with her just as soon as he could make it happen and he found himself again thinking, a gift. Softly, he pressed his mouth to the side of her head, kissing her temple. When she tipped her chin up, wordlessly asking for more, he dipped and captured her mouth with his.
