Chapter Seven

Cade didn’t normally sleep in, but after the make-out session last night, they’d needed a cool down, and watched a thriller, which had MerriBee hiding her face against his chest for half the movie, which had been just fine with him. He’d held her, and looped her long hair around his hand, savoring the cool, silky feel of it. Watching a movie with Bee, feeling her in his arms, tucked against his chest, he felt calmer than he had in a long time. He also felt at peace. He’d met Melvin, he’d seen photos of his dad, he knew where his dad had been raised, and the values he’d had, and it settled something inside Cade, giving him room to feel other emotions, like this desire for Bee.

It wasn’t all sex though. He could see them together, having a life together. It was the first time he’d pictured a future with anyone, but with her, he could see marriage, and a baby, possibly several babies. She’d be a good mom. She was giving and nurturing, but also strong, smart, funny. She’d love her kids but she’d be no pushover, and he could see them at the ranch, see them at Christmas, which was even stranger since he didn’t like Christmas.

But with her, he’d want Christmas, and he wouldn’t mind all the decorations. The kids would love them. Kids loved Christmas. He’d make sure his kids—their kids—had good Christmases. No fighting, no drinking, no gut-wrenching scenes that tore everyone’s heart from their chest.

He didn’t know anything about being a good husband, or a father, but he could learn. He and Bee were already friends. More than friends. He wanted her. Wanted to keep her with him. It was rather caveman-like, but it was how he felt. She was his, and he’d take care of her. No one else took care of her. No one else made sure she was safe. But he would.

It was after midnight when Cade finally fell asleep, and he slept in the next morning. He was still in bed at six when he got a call from Willis, but he was awake and alert the moment he answered the phone.

“She’s sick,” Willis said without preamble. “Seemed a little achy yesterday and wanted to skip the big family dinner and just go to bed early.”

Even without saying her name, Cade knew Willis was talking about Dot. “Why didn’t you call me last night?” he demanded, flinging back the covers and climbing from bed.

“Dot said she’d fire me if I did.”

Cade stepped into his jeans. “She wouldn’t fire you.”

“She said it was just a little cold, and you’re on your vacation—”

“How is she this morning?”

“She’s back asleep but was awake earlier. She didn’t want to eat anything. Em said she’s running a fever.”

“How high?”

“A hundred and two.”

Cade swore silently, thinking that if it went much higher it would be really serious. “Has a doctor been called?”

“No one’s coming out here in this weather. It’s been snowing for two days.
