Chapter 10

Eli tossed a piece of wood onto a pile and then wiped the back of his hand over his brow. There were several more logs that needed to be split, and it was getting close to dark. If it hadn’t been for so much work to get done before snowfall began in the next few weeks, he would have given up work for the day and gone up to the house to see how Cordelia felt.

He was worried that last night had left her sore. But the way she cuddled up next to him during the night had been perfect; no, perfect wasn’t the word, it was more like incredible, spectacular, amazing. Those words fit what he had felt as her warm body lay against his.

He had wanted to take her again this morning, but he was afraid that it would be too much for her to handle. He’d never taken a virgin before last night, and her reaction, the look of pain on her face, had worried him. But she had kept her hands on his body, acted like she wanted to continue.

“Hey, sleeping beauty, get with it,” Stuart said from the other side of the woodpile. "I’m not going to be out here in freezing weather finishing this job because all you want to do is daydream about your wife.”

Stuart picked up a log and started to work on it, and Eli did the same. As he worked this time, he wondered not about Cordelia, but about Constance. There had to be some way to get the woman to leave. He just had to figure it out. As he finished up a good stack of wood, he heard his name.

A glance in the direction of the house showed Cordelia walking his way. There was a spring in her step, and it made him smile. She waved, and he waved back. Behind him, he heard Stuart laugh.

“You took her to your bed, didn’t you?”

“Shut up,” Eli replied. Then he turned to his cousin. “Is it that obvious?”

“Yup. You’re both pretty happy today. I have to say, though, that I’m surprised it happened, especially after I witnessed the spanking the other night.”

“Me, too,” Eli replied. He planned on talking to her about it tonight. They could ride his horse back to the ranch together and maybe they could talk about it then.

When she drew near, she reached up and brushed her lips against his cheek. “If that was for my benefit, remember I know the truth,” Stuart yelled out. He swung his ax into a log and let it go. “I’m going back to the house. It’s late, and I’m hungry. See you two later.” He mounted his horse and took off in the direction from which Cordelia had just arrived.

When he was gone, Eli leaned over and kissed Cordelia gently. “Good evening,” he said, keeping his voice low. “How are you feeling?”

“A little sore,” she said. “I thought a walk would do me good. Actually, I went into town with Melody this afternoon to work on the dress.
