Chapter Seven

Knox

“I have to say, I didn’t expect home to be twenty-five miles up a mountain road.” She sat next to me in my truck, one of my hands on her thigh as we climbed up the road to my cabin, freshly dusted with snow.

“Bakery’s closed the next two days, right? Figured it’s the perfect time for us to get to know each other.” I turned down another, narrower, road.

“I can’t believe they even plow up here.” Her voice was laced with worry.

“Sometimes they don’t. Depends how stressed they are, but that’s part of the fun living up here. Never know what Mother Nature’s gonna throw at you.”

“That doesn’t sound like fun.” Valentine shook her head.

“Almost there, sugar, don’t get to simmerin’ just yet.”

“Simmerin’?! I’m fine! I’m just wondering how you get the hell out of here if you get more than six inches of snow.” Her thighs shifted as the road grew bumpier.

“You get a truck.”

“I don’t see myself buying a truck.”

“Luckily you won’t need to. You’ve got me as your chauffeur.”

“Chauffeur?” she giggled, pushing her arm into the warmth of my coat. “Lucky me, I got a wise, old, and sexy chauffeur then.”

I shook my head, loving the way her laugh filled the cab of my truck, filled the chambers of my heart, made me want to drop to my knees and beg her to be mine forever.

I clutched at the wheel as unfamiliar feelings of love and forever washed over me.

Never had a woman done this to me. I was officially tied up in knots over the sexy sweet little Valentine. I didn’t know if it was right or wrong, but I did know some people might look at us and wonder what the hell made us work.

Did I give two shits what they thought? Hell no, they had only to see the way I looked at her and they’d know.

I flipped the brights on high as the road narrowed and the snowflakes whirled wildly in front of the windshield.

“You really are a mountain man, huh?” she quipped at my side.

“Close to it as you can get, I guess.” The road curved, and I slowed as we opened up into the clearing.

“This is your cabin?” Her mouth popped open in shock.

“Yeah, been here for more than fifteen years now.” I pulled to a slow stop, pausing to take her in, moonlight streaming through the car windows and hitting her hair like a sweet halo. Valentine was so beautiful it made my heart ache.

“This is more lodge than cabin, Knox.”

I nodded. I guess she was right. It had six bedrooms, four baths, and a fully furnished second living space in the basement. “Got forty acres as far as the eye can see.”

“I’m glad we’re not out in that tonight. It looks like it’s going to get nasty.” She slid across the seat and opened the door.

I swiped for the duffel bag I’d forced her to pack before heading up here and hustled up to the front porch with her.
