Chapter Eleven

Kate in his arms. Kate putting her trust in him. Miss Kate, Logan corrected, but went right back to calling her Kate in his mind. Her soft arms, the lovely smell of violets that filled the air around them, the gooseflesh on her skin that he doubted she knew he could see all combined to do things to him he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Not even with Olivia had he been so captivated. Loved her, he had, but that love had felt so juvenile compared to this new rush of interest, respect, and plenty of desire he felt for the intriguing woman in his arms.

The horse stepped carefully, surefooted, though the path was steep in places.

Kate gripped his arms at times and shifted her weight farther back into him.

When they finally reached the bottom of the path, he was well on his way to complete fascination with a woman he knew little about. He’d done the same with Olivia, and he could not do any more damage to his heart. Was Kate as intrigued in him as he her? He had no way of knowing. Was she a decent sort of person? She seemed so, but again, he had no way of knowing. Olivia had seemed all those things, and with the death of that relationship had died his confidence in his ability to read a person.

He dismounted off the horse and handed Kate down, and then led his stallion to wander in the grasses. “The rocks aren’t good for his hooves.”

She nodded. “He’s a beautiful animal.”

The horse’s black coat shone in the sunlight.

“He is. We’ve been through a lot together.”

Logan held his arm for Kate to take, and when she leaned on him as they made their way down the rocky shore, he found himself standing taller, feeling more protective, wanting to be important to her. “Shall we talk about our dreams?”

“Our dreams?” She frowned, a tiny, delicate arc to her brows, her lips pushed forward in the smallest pout. “You first.”

“Dreams change, don’t they? How about we start with those from our youth?”

This seemed the most agreeable choice to Kate. Was she reluctant to share about herself? “How about we take turns asking questions?” Logan continued. “To be fair, each question has to have a complete answer.”

Her face went white for a moment, but then she nodded, a slight, brazen glint in her eye. “I am willing. How about I ask the first question?”

“Excellent.” He held up a finger. “But this new, daring face you are making . . . remember that I will retaliate with an equally bold question if that is the direction you choose.”

“I understand.”

Her calculating smile made him laugh. What was she going to be to him? He didn’t know. But he was sure enjoying finding out. They moved along closer to the water. “While you are thinking, today really is a delectable day. Perfect in all regards,” Logan said.

“I quite agree. Now stop. I know my question. Tell me the most daring thing you did as a child.
