THE CHILL OF the early fall air brought us back inside after our shared dinner and my feast of a cowboy. Hampton stretched as he stood from his blanket that lay in between the kitchen and the living room, and he followed the smell of the leftover pot roast that Tom carried inside. He fed Hampton while I put the dishes and the wine glasses in the sink. For good measure, I washed them while he put the leftover pot roast in the fridge. My mind reeled as I soaped up the plates and the glasses.

In such a short amount of time, it was almost as if my soul knew what my brain kept shutting down. He wanted to be with me. He wanted an “us.” I just didn’t know if I could trust my heart again. It had really screwed me over the last time I went through this, but I wanted to trust it again.

I dried my hands with a kitchen towel and laid it next to the sink. A calming warmth spread through me at the ease of doing the simple task of washing his dishes. It made me feel like I belonged. With my hip resting against the countertop, I admired the view as he bent over to make room in the fridge. I didn’t think I would ever get tired of the way his ass looked in jeans. The wall around my heart kept breaking bit by bit. It was so easy to fall.

When he closed the door to the fridge and turned around, I could see he had caught me staring. His eyebrow lifted in amusement as a smirk eased up his cheek. I bit my lip, but not from shyness. It was from hunger. He pushed away from the door, closing the distance between us. He lifted his hand up and dragged the back of it down my face. I closed my eyes, absorbing his touch. His thumb grazed across my lip, releasing it from its bite. My eyes flickered open, the love exuding from his blue depths. I told my head to trust my heart. It was okay to fall.

He slowly pressed his lips to mine, kissing me tenderly, and gently sucking my bottom lip. He coddled my face inside of his hands as his heart spoke to mine. It was too soon.

Without breaking our kiss, he leaned down, scooped me into his arms and carried me out of the kitchen and through the living room. When we reached the base of the stairs, he still didn’t break our kiss and carefully carried me up each step.

As we entered a room, he pecked me one more time and set me on my feet. He stood in front of me, interlocking our fingers, and whispered, “I have one more little surprise for you.”

“Do I have to close my eyes for this one?” I cocked my head to the side with a hint of humor. His eyes lit up with his smile

“No, but stay in here for just a minute.
