The rooster crowing broke into the comfort of Sydney’s sleep. Slowly she became aware of her stiff body and a crimp in her neck. She tried to stretch out only to find her body trapped in the confines of the love seat. Her eyes shot open to green eyes watching her. An amused smile turned up Jameson’s full lips. Her heart hammered as she did her best to rub the sleep from her. How long had he been watching?

“Good morning,” he said, his deep voice soothing.

“Morning,” she mumbled, before narrowing her eyes. “How long have you been awake?”

“Pretty much all night.” He shrugged. “Not a sound from Guardian, or otherwise.”

“Well, that’s good.” She sat up and stretched. “That couch is not comfortable.”

“You looked so peaceful, I couldn’t bring myself to wake you.”

She rubbed the kink in her neck and yawned again. “You should get some rest.” She peeked out the window. The sun hadn’t risen over the mountains yet, but its light lightened the sky. Guardian must have heard her voice for he woofed his morning greeting and demand.

“Chores need to be done, and I should check the perimeter before you go out, especially alone.”

“I have a gun,” she said with a shrug.

A rumble sounded down the drive. She cocked her head to listen and Jameson rose, joining her at the window. Homer rode his quad to his normal parking spot. Jameson let out a breath. It tickled her neck, and her body suddenly flushed with heat. An urge to feel his lips on hers again coursed through her. She closed her eyes and stepped away from him before she did something that would later cause her pain.

“See, I won’t be alone.” She walked down the hall towards the restroom. “Go rest. Take my bed. It will fit you better.”

“Your bed?” He shuffled his feet and a soft pink filled in behind his growing beard.

“Yeah, I won’t be needing it.” She stopped at the bathroom door. “Go on. You need to sleep.”

When she exited the bathroom ten minutes later, she realized she needed to grab some clean clothes. She tip-toed back to the bedroom. The door stood open. Peeking in she saw Jameson sprawled out in her bed, breathing deeply. The breath caught in her throat. He looked good in her bed. His bare chest peeked above the covers. His shirt and pants sat neatly stacked on the nightstand. Her heart raced thinking of him in her bed almost naked.

He shifted in his sleep, and she chastised herself for staring at him. She backed out the doorway, deciding it wouldn’t hurt her to wear the same clothes until she took a shower that evening. She quietly walked back down the hall and began her morning routine.

A few hours later, Sydney carried the last pail of goat milk into the cheese room. Guardian barked from beside her, making her jump and almost tip over the full bucket. Her breath froze, and her heart went into overdrive. The bucket sloshed, goat milk spilling over as she hastily dropped it.
