Chapter Ten

Chance noticed the way her back stiffened and could have kicked himself for his choice of words and the tone he’d used. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I was worried when it took you so long.”

She undid the cinch strap before she pulled the saddle from Sultan’s back. Without looking at Chance, Callie lugged it to the door of the stall and threw it across the wooden rail. When she turned back to him, her face was set and angry. “You hired me to do a job, deal with it.” Callie grabbed a brush and gave the horse a quick rubdown before letting him walk into the stall.

“I said I was sorry. I know you have a job to do and I understand that, but it’s your first day out there and I was worried, okay?” How could he tell her his true feelings when he didn’t know them himself. All he could think of while she was out was that he wanted her back with him.

She reached up and kissed his cheek, following it with the palm of her hand, cupping him with a gentle slap. “Try not to be a smothering husband. There’s a good boy.”

Callie grabbed her saddle and took it to the tack room, leaving him wondering what he’d taken on. She was more independent than he had thought she would be and he rather liked it.

“Have you looked at the sky lately?”

“Nope. It wasn’t raining so I didn’t think it was a problem.” She came out of the tack room with a bucket and headed to the corner of the barn where the chickens had been hiding their eggs. She reached down and scooped them up into the bucket and then waltzed back to him. “I could go for a coffee and something to eat before I do the afternoon chores.”

Chance let his angst ease away knowing he was being irrational and overprotective with his new bride. “What can I get you for lunch? Seems the least I can do since you are doing all the outside work while I can’t.”

“Well, now, that depends on what you’re offering, cowboy.” She winked at him and Chance’s blood pounded faster through his veins.

“You’re going to be the death of me at this rate, woman. I can just imagine what the doctor is going to say when I go back to get the pins out. ‘Not healing, Mr. Watson. What have you been doing? Not resting that hip as I suggested by the look of things.’”

Callie laughed and slapped her hand on her leg. “You started it, pal. I was quite happy to ease into the whole sex thing, getting to know you slowly because the ranch was the key thing here, but you just had to take it fast. You have nobody to blame but yourself.”

“And I wouldn’t have it any other way. After lunch I want to take you into town to look at some pups. Now we’re going to be living here full time I think a dog is doable.
