Chapter 7

Kayla

Sleep didn’t come as easily that night as it had the night before. I tossed and turned, fitful and restless. And it was all Trent’s fault.

After I shared that our meadow was the perfect place for the wedding I had in mind, he’d brought me back to town. My stomach plunged with disappointment when I thought he was taking me back to the Big Spruce Lodge. And then relief and confusion twisted through me when I realized I was wrong.

He wasn’t dropping me off. Instead, he brought me to several local businesses—a florist, a bakery, and oddly, the local animal shelter. I’d been charmed by Macy, the woman who ran the shelter and who also happened to be Trent’s sister and a musician who he thought could help me plan the music for the wedding.

That’s right. The man I just met and who I was inexplicably falling for, more so with each passing moment, introduced me to his sister on our first date.

Wait. Was that even a date?

I tossed around under the pretty, soft quilt again. The movement didn’t make me any more comfortable, though. If anything it brought more attention to how much my body ached.

It had started the minute Trent left me at the door to my room after sharing another of those mind-blowing kisses. My skin got hotter. My nipples stood up like they were waiting for someone’s immediate attention. Dampness grew between my thighs.

I’d tried to ignore it, going through my normal getting ready for bed routine. But once under the covers, only my thoughts to keep me occupied, thoughts of Trent’s mouth, his hands pulling me in close to his body, the way his eyes seemed to take in every little detail about me, kept me from sleep.

I’d just started to slide my hands down over my body and dip under the waistband of my panties to try to find some relief when my phone dinged. I paused and weighed whether to continue on my current course of action or distract myself with what was sure to be Ella’s demand for more details.

Ella won. I had a feeling that anything I did in bed alone was going to fall far short of what my body really craved. I snatched my phone from the nightstand and quickly swiped to see my messages.

Only it wasn’t Ella texting me. It was Trent.

Are you sleeping?

I chewed my lip and for one crazy instant considered telling him the truth—namely, that he’d gotten under my skin so badly that he’d caught me right before I started doing the only thing I could think of to relieve the tension.

But at the last second I chickened out. No. I’m having trouble falling asleep. How about you?

I rolled my eyes the second I hit send. He was going to think I was the most boring human being on the planet.

Me, too. I hated leaving you tonight.

Okay, so maybe not the most boring person on the planet if he regretted leaving me. I could feel the sappy smile curving my lips.
