Chapter Eleven

Life was decidedly better when there was someone to share it with. After the night in the planetarium, Scott felt as though he was walking in the stars at all times. He’d put a lot of thought and effort into creating a romantic evening for Casey, but he’d never dreamed it would turn out so well. Making love on a blanket at his workplace was not exactly how he’d envisioned the night going, but at least he’d been prepared.

Better still, things had stayed good for nearly two weeks. He’d seen Casey practically every night since their first Valentine’s Day, and he was already thinking up plans for the real Valentine’s Day as he stomped through about eight inches of snow on his patch of land. He should have been concentrating on measuring out string and hammering posts into the ground as he marked out a potential footprint for his house, but his mind kept drifting back to the sounds Casey made as he rained kisses across her breasts, the way she combed her fingers through his hair when their bodies were entwined in bed, and the enthusiasm with which she rode him when they flipped positions. It had to be all that rodeo training.

He straightened from the post he’d been trying to pound into the frozen ground and laughed at his thoughts. Then he laughed at the fact that he was standing there in the snow, alone, laughing. He shook his head. Let other guys get their jollies playing the field and bedding a different girl every night. He was happiest when he had one special someone to hold close.

“What are you laughing at?”

Casey’s question startled him, and Scott whipped around to find her marching toward him in the snow. She had her arms clenched tight around herself, and her breath puffed into clouds in front of her. She also wore a frown.

Scott wasn’t having any of that. He tossed the mallet he’d been working with into the snow and stepped over to meet Casey and wrap his arms around her. She immediately leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder, but keeping her folded arms between them, probably for warmth.

“I was just thinking about how happy you make me,” he said, kissing the wooly band around her head, keeping her ears warm.

“And that made you laugh?” She inched back enough to look up at him.

Her frown was still in place. Scott picked up a struggle of some sort going on behind her eyes. Once he noticed that, he realized that her body was tighter than usual, tense. Deep, protective concern welled up in him.

“I laugh when I’m happy,” he said, then quickly rushed on to. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah,” she sighed, snuggling against him again, resting her head in the crook between his neck and shoulder.

He tightened his hold of her. “That doesn’t sound convincing.”

She was silent for a while, huddled against him. Scott strained to glance toward his car as best he could without disturbing her. Maybe they should continue this discussion somewhere warmer.
