Instead, Aaron returned to his room and took a cold shower that did nothing to cool him down. As the cold spray hit him, he shifted his thoughts to her apartment. Not a cushion had been left untouched. Her wicker furniture had been ripped apart, and all her dresses had been slashed. Someone had to be searching for the missing red diamond. The Texas Cattleman’s Club members didn’t have it, but then, neither did someone else who had to have known it was on the Asterland jet.

This made Jamie Morris and Lady Helena incredibly vulnerable, too, but Ben and Matt would protect them.

Who had the diamond? What had happened to it in the forced landing? And the jewels had to be tied to Asterland for the two Asterland investigators to question Pamela so much about what jewelry she was carrying. The jewels were priceless, so a fortune could be gained from their possession. But because of his background, he couldn’t keep from thinking of other possibilities for the money from the sale of the stones. Terrorism? Revolution? Drugs? Weapons? They had to find the missing diamond and all clues seemed to indicate that it was still somewhere in Royal. Someone thought it was in Pamela’s possession.

He turned off the shower and toweled dry, climbing into bed to stare into the darkness. He was aroused, taut and aching for her. Aware she was only yards away. He went over the entire day, the news of her pregnancy, their arguments, their date.

He searched his own feelings for her. Was it sex as she accused? He tried to study his feelings impartially, tried to sort out what he felt from what his body desired. And the more he thought about it and considered and remembered, the more he determined that he was deeply, irrevocably in love with his West Texas lady.

“Lady, I love you,” he whispered into the darkness, turning to look at the door and thinking about her in the next bedroom.

He did love her. The more he searched his feelings, the more certain he became. He was head over heels, unable to get her out of his thoughts, heart-pounding in love with her. She filled this great aching emptiness in him that had grown worse the past couple of years. When he was around her, his life had purpose. Even now, with all the disagreements and turmoil between them, he didn’t have that chilling desolation that filled him most of the time in the recent past. And she was so much that he admired—good with children, intelligent, sexy, caring, fun.

She would have to come to realize the depth of his feelings for her. He thought about five years from now, ten years—and he knew if it was five or a lifetime, she was truly the woman for him.

“I really love you with a love that’s bigger than Texas, and, whether you let me show you or not, my love will last,” he said in the darkness, and his resolve to convince her of his feelings grew.
