Chapter Thirteen

Cassidy woke up at her usual time on Saturday and gave herself a few minutes to savor the pleasure of not having to roll right out of bed. If she closed the diner, and got a job somewhere else, a nine-to-five job in an office or something, she could sleep late every day. And she’d have time to ride Casey, too.

Which was the idea that had her staggering to her feet and searching for jeans. Even without closing the diner, she had a little bit of time right then, and she needed to use it. She snuck down the hall past Emily’s door, her boots in her hand, picked a bit of chicken out of the leftovers in the fridge to fill her stomach, and then headed out the front door.

“You running away to join the circus?” Will’s amused voice floated out from his office.

She peered around the doorway, resisting the impulse to feel as if she’d been caught in some misbehavior. “Why are you awake?”

“Why are you?” He pushed away from his desk and stretched as if he’d been sitting there for quite a while. “You don’t have to go to work yet, do you? Not on Saturday.”

“I want to ride Casey.” She frowned, suddenly self-conscious. “Is that okay? I mean, we’re not making that goat trade, so he’s still your horse.”

“Of course. And the goat trade’s going to happen. I’m just looking for ways to sweeten the pot.” He smiled as he approached.

It always took her a while to get used to his proximity. When she wasn’t around him, she could think clearly: she could label him as Emily’s father, or the meddling millionaire, or even the guy she was having a little fling with. But when she was with him, he was just Will. Sexy, infuriating, overpowering. His smile dissolved her common sense, his scent made her heart speed up, and his touch? His touch inflamed her and drove away all thought.

She wanted to step back, wanted to rush toward him. Instead, she stayed frozen between the extremes, and when he stood before her and raised a hand to cradle her jaw, she leaned into the contact and closed her eyes. “I missed you last night,” he whispered, and then he gently tilted her head, and their lips met and she melted.

It was difficult to stay upright when her muscles and maybe even her bones were turned to goo, but he held her to him, his body hard and warm against her softness. He kissed her like he had a right to, as if there were no complications, no conflicts, just the two of them, fitting together perfectly. His lips trailed down her neck, and she let her head fall back, exposing her throat. She was tired of being careful, tired of trying to protect herself. She wanted to be vulnerable, wanted to let him do the protecting.

His stubble rasped against her tender skin, and his lips kissed away the burn. “I want you,” he murmured into her skin.
