Chapter 10

Rose rode behind Matthew on his horse for the ride back to the ranch. They led her mare, content to follow behind. She knew she might as well shout to the mountaintops what they had done, but she couldn’t make herself care. She was in love. Fabulously, famously, and forever...she was in love. And she was loved. She had finally found a man who had fallen hopelessly in love with her and not Daniel’s daughter. She didn’t give two hoots in a well who knew it. Not her cousin, Roxi. Not her Aunt Jeannie or Aunt Lila, not even—

Her father. She had meant to tell Matthew the truth after they had spent the afternoon making love to each other, but she just couldn’t bring herself to spoil the moment. Matthew had said this was the beginning of their future together. She didn’t want to look back on this day and have the memory spoiled by her revelation.

The Harvest Ball was in a few weeks. After that, her parents expected her home. She just needed a plan to explain them to Matthew and Matthew to them. She was glad she had Aunt Jeannie to help with the explanation. If anyone could get through to her father, it was her mother and her aunt.

The rocking motion of the horse distracted her from her worrisome thoughts. No, it wasn’t the horse’s rocking motion. It was her breasts brushing against Matthew’s back that was the distraction. She still tingled in all the right places because of Matthew’s exquisite lovemaking skills. She squeezed her eyes closed as the feelings of that moment sent ripples across her body again. She shivered.

“Are you alright, Rose? You’re awfully quiet. Are you having second thoughts about…what we did?” She felt Matthew’s voice vibrating against her chest. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him close, her cheek pressed against his back.

“I’m more than alright. And no, I’m not having second thoughts. I’m just thinking about...the future.” she wasn’t sure how to approach the subject exactly.

“I will always remember the time we spent...under the willow trees.” Matthew pulled on her hand and lifted it to his mouth. He gifted it with a tender kiss and a gentle squeeze.

She wondered what they should do when they got back to the ranch. She knew Roxi would have a million questions.

“Matthew, we’ll be back at the ranch in a few minutes. What should I say to Roxi. What are you planning to say to Alex?”

“We aren’t going to say anything. Let them think what they want. Although chances are your cousin will want to have a chat with you at some point before we head back to town. Let her bring it up.” Matthew’s advice seemed sound. She nodded in agreement and allowed herself to relax a bit.

She would swear Roxi to secrecy about her and Matthew’s time away from the ranch this afternoon. Her aunts would have no way of knowing what happened today. Her parents certainly had no way of knowing.
