My feet were killing me. I know now that I really should have worn more comfortable shoes.

I dropped one to the floor and then the other as I made my way toward the refrigerator. I was hungry, but I was too tired to cook. Grabbing a bottle of water and a protein bar I left a trail of clothing down the hallway that led to my bathroom.

Flipping on the hot water, I was in desperate need of some heat and relaxation. The weather was getting cooler and fast and tomorrow I would be standing outside for some crazy festival. Selling decorations for the fall and winter seasons, wreaths, centerpieces, and so much more for hours. What I really wanted to do was curl up on my couch and watch a movie, or read a good book, possibly even fatal asleep in the middle of the day and not feel guilty about wasting half my day.

I was just about to pull my tank top over my head when the sounds of someone knocking on my door had me pausing in the hallway. With one arm out, the other still holding a half-eaten protein bar, staring mid-chew, I knew there would only be one person standing on the other side. It was too late for anyone else to stop by.

My heart instantly raced with excitement. Still after several encounters, and a whole lot of kissing I found it strange that the one man I said I'd never give a second glance to was the one man I can't stop thinking about.

I hurried to put my shirt back on and my sweater, gathering my pants up off the floor I shoved one leg in and then the other. Almost tripping in the process, I shuffled down the hall and stopped to take a few deep breaths in the center of the living room. Composing myself, I wiped over my face to ensure I didn't have food around my mouth and took a quick drink of water.

Another knock sounded and I grabbed the lock, twisting, pulling the door open. I tried to hide the joy I felt when I found him standing there, wearing a pair of jeans, hiking boots, and a coat looking all rugged and handsome.

It was like a second wind, rejuvenating my exhausted body.

"Hi," biting my lip I noticed that he focused on my mouth and took in a deep breath. Lifting his gaze, he met mine and stepped forward through the threshold. "Hi," his breath tickled my lips just before he pressed a soft kiss there.

Internally I was sighing, or maybe it was externally because Wyatt chuckled, and immediately I felt embarrassed.

"You busy?"

Shaking my head, I felt eager for what he may have planned. Frankly, anything would work for me as long as he was kissing me and holding me like he was right then.

"Wanna take a ride," he jutted his thumb over his shoulder and that is when I noticed the four-wheeler sitting there. "The neighboring land belongs to a friend of mine and the teenagers sneak out and used the property for shenanigans.
