Chapter 9

Ryan

Rachel’s smile was like the firelight. The sight of it was soothing, relaxing...and hot. She lifted onto her toes. In response to his unspoken question, will you kiss, me, she whispered, “Yes.”

Their lips pressed together softly at first. It wasn’t the first time for them, not by a long shot, but as he brought his hands to cradle her head, it may as well have been a first kiss. They were both hesitant, careful, and maybe a little unsure.

There was a certain tremulousness between them. Her heart thudded against his as their chests pressed together. They fumbled a moment as they tilted their heads the same way then they switched and brushed noses. She giggled and smiled against his mouth.

That sound was like a key, opening something inside Ryan that shifted things from tender to filled with desire, a longing that had long been dormant. He loved the sound of her laughter.

Feeling her mouth under his and how very right it was, how much he’d yearned for it over the years doubled his pulse. His heart hammered and his breath became a secondary notion. Primary was the kiss, the connection, the passion crackling between them.

Her hands pressed against his broad back, and he tangled his hands in her hair. He’d loved her hair, her skin, her eyes, her lips—everything about her was perfect. She was the woman for him.

She was so soft and gentle, yet demanding as the kiss deepened. He was sure that she wanted him as much as he did her. Her scent was floral, like a bouquet of flowers or a spring meadow with a hint of citrus. He breathed her in, unable to get enough.

Then the kiss slowed and he trailed his lips across her cheek, to the soft space behind her ear, to her neck, then the wrist, until he reached the back of her hand. He drew the flat of her palm to his chest and pressed it against his heart.

“Please don’t ever doubt how much I care about you.”

Her eyes twinkled in the light of the Christmas tree and the smile she gave lit him up, filled him with hope, and at least for the time, cast away his regrets over turning his back on her.

After they parted, he wrapped his arm around her and they stood in front of the fire for a few minutes. The wind howled outside and a plow truck rumbled by.

Rachel peeked out the window. “It was like as soon as it turned December, mother nature decided to turn on the snow machine.”

Ryan chuckled. “The old-timers at Honey Bea and Thistle said that it was going to be a doozy of a winter. Their words, not mine.”

“Thanks again for the tires.”

“I just want you to be safe.” He flipped the key fob to his truck in his hand. It was getting late; he probably should’ve been leaving.

“You too. Drive carefully. And thanks. Thanks for everything.”

He dipped his head and kissed her softly on the cheek. “I’d do anything for you, Rachel.
