Chapter Eleven

BEAR HAD NEVER spent much time thinking about relationships, but as he and Crystal drove out to the observation deck to watch the wild ponies, all he could think about was that he never knew it was possible to fall harder for someone in just a few hours. He parked at the end of the road and helped Crystal off the bike. She’d put her leggings and jacket on for the ride, and she looked like she belonged on the cover of a Biker Babe calendar. But it wasn’t just how sexy and beautiful she was that had him falling harder with every minute they were together. It was her. All of her. Her sweet, vulnerable side. Her sassy, snarky confidence. Her loving nature, which she’d covered so well for so long. He loved the way she was coming into her own, and there was no place he’d rather be than right there by her side. And it didn’t matter if it took her a day, a week, or a year to embrace their relationship as fully as he had.

The fact that he felt that way and they hadn’t even slept together yet didn’t escape him. Neither did the realization that he’d felt that way long before they’d even kissed.

They followed a path to the observation deck, and he couldn’t remember the last time he’d had such an enjoyable afternoon. Crystal leaned over the railing, peering through the trees.

“Look! There they are.” She pointed through a gap in the branches at a band of wild horses grazing on the grass at the edge of the beach. They were sturdy and shaggy. “Aren’t they beautiful?”

“Wild and free. Reminds me of a certain someone.” He wrapped his arms around her from behind.

She pushed beneath his arm, moving beside him. “Thank you for today. The market reminded me of the ones I used to go to with my dad.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had such a great day. Thanks for letting me monopolize you. But I have some bad news.”

Her brows knitted.

He brushed his lips over hers. “Today has done nothing to lessen my addiction. I think I need another hit.”

“Lucky for you, I happen to have a huge supply of kisses.” She went up on her toes, and he met her halfway to feed his addiction.

They watched the ponies until something spooked them and they bolted away, their muscular legs pounding the earth, kicking up dirt in their wake. They rode home as the sun dipped from the sky. In Peaceful Harbor, they passed Whiskey Bro’s, where his brothers’ and Dixie’s bikes were parked out front, along with his mother’s car. The bar wasn’t open on Sundays, but Dixie went in to take care of the books, and a few family members usually ended up hanging out with her. Normally he’d stop by, but tonight all he wanted was to be with Crystal.

He drove through town and turned off the main drag toward the mountains, winding through tree-lined, narrow roads toward his home.
