Chapter Seventeen
Rebecca continued to pace while she waited for Helen to finish preparing Lukeâs steak. Her heart ached from the worry. They had shot at him only hours ago. Why didnât someone do something? He was holed up in that place all alone. Treed like a cougar trapped by hounds
âHere you go,â Helen said as she held out two plates loaded with food. âI still think you should let me take them over.â
Rebecca shook her head. âThey wonât shoot me. Not now. It wouldnât get them their brother.â
âI donât know,â Helen said with a doubting look.
âIâm taking them. Heâs my responsibility.â
Helenâs eyebrows rose. âYou sure? I mean, itâs only been a few days. You two?â
Rebecca laughed. âitâs been a lifetime. I was sure when I was eight-years-old.â
âOh honey,â Helen said with a deep concern. âYou donât know how this is going to turn out. Heâs put himself in a tight spot. Heâs all alone. I donât want you getting hurt. Not again.â
A gut-wrenching fear filled Rebecca once again, the thought was never far away that she might lose Luke. But she couldnât change the way she felt. Shrugging, she left her friend and made her way across the street. As she walked, she glanced both ways to confirm that the sentries were still stationed outside the hotel and livery stations. Those at the far end of the road had disappeared though. Probably off to get something to eat.
Would it be like this for the next week?
When she reached the door of the jail, she started to open it then froze before going in. âLuke, itâs me,â she called out.
âAll right,â he said from inside.
Rebecca took a deep breath and wished she had a hand free to check that her hair was still in place. Donât be ridiculous, she told herself. The man was hungry, he didnât care if a wisp of her hair had broken free.
When she stepped inside, she sighed with relief to see him coming from around his desk. She smiled to herself. It seemed that no matter the danger, her stomach still fluttered every time she saw him.
âThis is Feltonâs medium steak,â she said as she indicated the plate in her right hand for the prisoner in the back. âHelen said that any man who wanted his steak cooked that way couldnât be trusted.â
Luke nodded as he relieved her of both plates and turned to take one back to Felton in his cell. When he returned, he stopped for a moment as he studied her with the eyes of a wolf, lustful and full of need.
She felt her body flush with excited embarrassment. The two of them stood there, both of them silently sending a dozen messages back and forth.
There was so much she wanted to talk to him about. Their future? What he thought of her? How many children did he want?
Her tongue however refused to work. It was as if she was terrified of opening a subject that might push him away. Or worse, it might be tempting fate to talk about something that could be taken from them.
