Chapter Nineteen

‡

SAWYER WOKE IN the morning with Cassidy still in his arms and was reluctant to let her go. She turned to face him, still naked, still a sight to behold with mussed hair and no makeup. He kissed her gently.

She sighed. “We could stay in bed all day,” she suggested. “Just this once.”

“I’d like to, but we’ve got to get ready. I’m only going to get to see this five times in my life, and I don’t want to miss a second of any one of them.”

“Five times?” she asked, sitting up and pulling the sheets over herself.

“Gabe,” he reminded her.

Dakota considered this. “What about Dakota?”

Sawyer grinned. “I think we all know who she’s going to marry. I always wanted a little sister.”

She nodded. “You all are so close.”

He shrugged and set his feet on the floor. “That’s family.”

“Five times, huh?” Cassidy replied, getting off the bed and dragging the sheet with her.

He was oh so tempted to yank it away.

“So all of you are going to get married? Every one?”

“Of course,” he told her, lifting the neatly pressed suit from where it hung in the closet.

“And not a single one of you will ever get divorced?”

He gave her a dark look. “That’s an ugly word. And no, it will never, ever happen. There’s no such thing as divorce in our family.”

She frowned. “What about cheating? When you get tired of her?”

Sawyer paused and looked at her askance. Something in her eyes was trouble. Had she been cheated on? Had her heart broken? Was that why she was so closed off, so unwilling to take a chance on something new? He was tempted to set the suit down on the bed and draw her into his arms, but he didn’t want even the smallest thing out of place for Seth and Rowan’s wedding day. He had to settle for casting her a meaningful look. “Cassidy, there’s no getting tired of someone you love.”

She looked doubtful, so doubtful that he immediately crossed the room and lifted her chin with his finger, forcing her look him in the eye. “We don’t cheat, Cassidy. I don’t cheat. Period. And I want to make it clear that while you’re with me, it’s not okay to be in someone else’s bed, too.” He brushed that same finger over her now mostly faded bruise. “Not that I think you’re stupid enough to go back to him.”

“That’s not what happened.”

“Well, it sure as shit wasn’t a car accident,” he replied. “You don’t have to tell me right now, but you’re done lying to me, understood?”

Her eyes widened a bit, and she hesitated.

“I mean it, Cassidy, no more lies. I’d never lie to you.”

He waited. He wanted the truth, the whole truth, but he realized it would do no good to keep pushing. He certainly wasn’t going to beat it out of her or give her any kind of ultimatum. He wanted her here, at Snake River, and he was prepared to let her keep her secrets for a little while longer to make that happen.
