Samantha squinted at the cards in her hands, trying to remember all the rules to this game. She wasn’t succeeding very well. Not with the memories of the day bombarding her mind. She thought about how Zeke had split meals with her, putting the au jus dip in between their plates so they both could dip. Then, when they’d walked across the bridge to show Eva the Colorado River, she hadn’t missed the sense of family that had overwhelmed her and caused her eyes to tear up. Thankfully, she had blamed it on the cold, autumn air that blew strong on the bridge.

Zeke had played with Eva all afternoon while Sam had gotten some work done. Their laughter and chatter had wrapped around her heart and lodged there. She hated to say that she had gotten little work completed, what with all her inner debating going on.

She glanced at him across the coffee table. He had a slight smile pulling up one side of his mouth. He was gorgeous, with his dark brown eyes that lit up every time he saw her daughter. Eyes that seemed to penetrate her soul as he stared at her. She pulled her sweater away from her body twice to cool off.

Zeke shift his cards in his hand, his forearms flexing as he did. She had never really cared much about big muscles, but on Zeke, they equated warmth. Safety. She desperately wanted to know what it felt like to have his powerful arms wrap around her. Not just while he was instructing her to shoot, though how she’d hit anything with his scent twined so completely around her, she’d never know. No, she wanted to experience what it felt like to be captured in his arms for the sole purpose of holding her. She wanted to trace the ridges of his muscles and the design of his tattoos with her fingertips. Whew, it was getting hot. She fanned herself with her cards.

“Are you hot? I can turn the fire down.” Zeke moved to get up, and she grabbed the leg he had stretched out under the table.

“No, I like the fire. It’s homey.” She shrugged and reached for the hem of her sweater. “I think I just need to lose some layers. My Texas blood can’t decide what to do with this Colorado weather.”

She pulled off her sweater, glad she had worn a tank top underneath. When she got herself situated, she glanced across the table, her mouth frozen open to tell him something witty. His stare took her all in, from the top of her head to the tip of her fingers and back up again. It wasn’t the lusty looks she got from men, even Garrett when they’d been together. No, Zeke’s look was warm and left her feeling cherished. She loved that feeling. Her heart hammered in her chest.

“Mama, it’s almost my song.” Eva stood and wrapped her arms around Sam’s neck, breaking the connection that tethered her to Zeke’s stare. Sure enough, The Princess and the Frog movie was at Eva’s favorite part.
