Chapter 6

“You’re falling in love with me?” Vance asked.

“I think so.” Skylar had never made a commitment to anyone but himself. Now he was willing to commit to a lifetime with Vance. “You would have given up your life to keep me safe.” If that didn’t show love, he didn’t know what did.

Another boom of thunder cracked the sky, and then rain pelted down. Even though they were getting soaked, Vance didn’t move. He sat staring at Skylar like he had all the time in the world. “I think I’m falling in love with you, too.”

Wrapping his arms around his mate, Skylar clung to him as the storm grew stronger. “Should we go?” It hardly ever rained in Southern California, so he had no clue what they should be doing during a Utah storm.

“It will pass very quickly.”

The exceedingly dry air now cooled with the wash of rain, but it wasn’t cold. Pressed together, they were quite warm as the water gathered on the rocks around them. Skylar noticed that what he’d thought were simply rises and falls along the base of the butte were actually tracks for water. As the rain pelted the land, it gathered and then was channeled down the divots along the edges of the foothills.

“We’re on high ground here, so we’re safe from flash floods.”

Skylar looked below and watched as the cowboys who’d confronted them ran for a pickup truck. One of them, not Paul but another, looked up and waved at them, as if encouraging them to come down.

Together he and Vance waved them off.

“Now, about that freak of yours.” Skylar nudged his mate gently.

“We already addressed mine in the office, remember?” Vance kissed Skylar tenderly on his shoulder. “It’s your turn now.”

“Right.” Skylar grinned and then shook his head. “You’ll never believe me.”

“Try me.”

“I’ve always wanted…” Skylar’s voice trailed off as the images filled his mind. It simply wasn’t fair for him to ask Vance for something he couldn’t possibly do. Not anywhere around Utah, at any rate.

“Be honest. I swear I won’t laugh.”

“I’m not worried about that.”

“What then?”

“It doesn’t seem fair for me to pick something that would be difficult for you to do.”

“We’ll make it happen. I promise.”

“Okay. I’ve always wanted to make love on the beach. Not like I haven’t done it on the beach because I have, but it wasn’t love, and it wasn’t special.” Skylar met Vance’s gaze. “With you, it would be both.”

A pleased smile transformed Vance’s face. “A beach?”

“Yeah. I know, it’s nutty considering where we are—”

“No, it’s your fantasy. And I’m going to make it happen.”

“You are?”

“Yep.” Vance nodded and the sneaky grin that lifted the corner of his mouth made Skylar wonder just what he had in mind. “But not tonight.”

“Right.” Skylar looked down, and very far away was the farmhouse where they’d met. In a flash, he remembered what had happened.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. I just remembered how I got here.” Skylar shook his head, which flung the water off the ends of his hair.
