Chapter Fourteen

“Hey, sleepyhead. Wake up.”

Porchia groaned. “Go away. It’s too early.”

Darren chuckled and sat on the edge of the bed. “Wake up. I’ve got a surprise.”

“If it’s the same surprise you had for me at midnight and again at two, it’s not that much of a surprise.” Porchia pushed her hair out of her eyes and looked at him. She frowned. “You’re dressed. Don’t I remember getting those jeans off you last night?”

“Don’t dawdle. We’ll miss it.”

She covered her mouth as she yawned. “You’re serious?”

“Yup.” He slapped her playfully on the ass. “Get a move on. Jeans, long-sleeve shirt and your boots. Hurry.”

He gave her a quick kiss before standing and leaving.

In the kitchen, he poured fresh coffee into a large thermos and set it on the counter next to the knapsack that held their breakfast.

In under five minutes, Porchia strode into the living room, dressed as he’d requested, her hair freshly brushed.

“I’m here,” she said. “What am I supposed to see? It’s still dark outside. What time is it any way?” She squinted toward the kitchen clock. “Does that clock say four, as in four in the morning?”

“It does.”

“But I’m on vacation. That means sleeping later than normal.”

“You’ll have time to nap later. I promise.” He pulled her to him for a kiss that tasted of mint toothpaste. For some reason, he found that endearing, but then again, he found everything she did endearing. “Here.” He handed her the thermos of coffee and grabbed the knapsack for him to carry. “Let’s move.”

She yawned again but followed him outside.

She looked at him. “You saddled horses?”

“The only way to travel,” he said with a grin. God, she was so cute in the morning. “And, for this trip, the only way to travel. Need help getting on?”

She stuck out her tongue at him. “Funny man. Good morning, Oreo.” She stroked the mare’s neck a couple of times before she swung into the saddle like the pro she was. “Lead on.”

Darren turned Bandit, another of Travis’s geldings, toward the road and the sunrise spot he’d found. He hoped she would enjoy seeing the day start in his arms.

“So, want to let me in on what we’re doing?” she asked, riding alongside him.

“Nope. It’s a surprise.”

“As long as the surprise involves the coffee you made me carry, I’m sure I’ll be happy. Plus…” she reached over and pulled his horse to a stop, “…if it involves you, I’m sure I’ll be elated.” She leaned over the distance separating their horses and kissed him.

His tongue sought and found her mouth. He stroked inside, loving both how she tasted like toothpaste and how she let out a low groan.

He broke the kiss and pulled back. “If you start that, we’ll never make it in time.” Pressing his calves against the horse’s sides, he set off in a trot with Porchia close behind.

“In time for what?”

“Patience, honey. You’ll see.”

“And you now know I have no patience,” she reminded him.

He glanced over at her. “I seem to have a few demanding memories from last night.
