Stubborn little…. Treynor clicked the key fob and locked the car door before she could open it. Even though he understood her fears—her father had been a cheating ass—he still wanted to grab her and shake her, to flip her over his knee and paddle her gorgeous little tail until she admitted she loved him. Billie tipped her head down and her shoulders shook. Careful, he turned her to face him. “Are you crying, huittsuu?” His irritation fled with the sadness on her face. She had shed too many tears over a misunderstanding. “Don’t. Please.”

Capturing her lips beneath his, he silenced the protest shining in her eyes. At first she held stiff, but slowly her body leaned into him, accepting the truth he struggled to speak. With a soft groan, he lifted her without breaking contact and carried her to the porch. Billie slid her arms around his neck, clinging to him the way she used to.

He settled in the wide swing with her on his lap. Little sounds of surrender whispered around him while he nibbled his way from her lips to the sensitive curve of her neck. Shivers accompanied her sighs. She loved him. Her anger and her kisses declared it without doubt, so why did she not recognize the same truth from him? Cupping her breast, he caressed her until her fingers closed over his wrist and pulled his hand away.

“No, I can’t. Not without knowing how you feel.”

“A woman should know her man’s heart. Words are too easily bent.”

“I don’t care. Bend them for me, please. Make me understand.”

He set her down, stood, and walked to the porch rail to stare across the yard. His gut clenched. “What if I fail?”

“You won’t as long as you tell me the truth…even if it breaks my heart.”

Two months without her had hurt far more than he cared to admit. He would not pass on the opportunity to make it right. Facing her, he crossed to stand before the swing. If he pushed the issue, she would forgive him and return to his bed without the words, but she would never believe beyond doubt. He drew a fortifying breath and then sat beside her, elbows on his knees. With a quick glance he clarified he had her attention. Her lower lip quivered though she tried to be strong. The feminine expression melted his resistance.

“It took me weeks to ask you out after I first noticed you’d grown up.”

“You’re not much older, Treynor.”

He shrugged. “Five years is enough when you’re young. When I came home to Freewill, I couldn’t believe such a gangly child had grown into a beautiful woman.”

She smiled. It lit her pretty eyes and his hunger.

Unfortunately, the compliment did not get him off the hook like he’d hoped. He sat straighter and shifted on the seat, one leg tucked between them. “Sure you need to hear all this?”

She nodded. “Just say whatever’s on your mind.”

Slender hands fluttered in her lap like tiny trapped birds. He caught the closest one, rubbing her knuckles gently and chuckled.
