CHAPTER 9

Getting back to the barn Ryan and Shannon took the saddles off the horses, brushed them down, fed them, and gave them water. Colby came over and offered to take Star Dust from her.

“Thank you for asking, Colby, but I’ve got it.”

Dustin didn’t say anything and barely looked at her. Carly stood on the porch when they left the barn and went to Ryan’s truck.

Ryan reach across the seat for Shannon’s hand and rubbed his thumb across her knuckle. As they drove, she looked down at their hands, and said, “You’ve been really quiet. Is there a problem that I need to know about? Or do you regret last night?” Her heart started to sink, worried about the response she might get.

The truck pushed off the road and before she could say anything, Ryan got out and strolled to her side. Shit, this is bad. He opened the door and turned her sideways.

Ryan took her hands. “Shannon, I don’t regret last night. Do you?” His hand had moved to her hips in order to move her closer.

“No. You just seem distant or maybe upset. Does it have to do with any feelings you have for your ex-wife? I just don’t want to be someone used to upset an ex.” She felt like shit saying this, but she believed in being honest and not holding back. Plus, Ryan got under her shield and broke it down, and that scared the shit out of her.

Ryan didn’t realize that his silence would mean anything. But he had been quiet and had held off touching her until they got into the truck. “No, I have no feelings for Vicky, and we don’t want each other anymore. I just don’t know what’s wrong with my kids. I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.” He seemed nervous. “I really like you and want to spend more time with you. I want to see you later today. What do you say?”

“I would like that. But I don’t want to upset our kids.” Shannon wouldn’t be the reason for Ryan’s kids being upset with him. She would stop seeing him.

He placed his hands on her face and kissed her long. “Good. I’ll text you later. I need to get you back to your friends, or I’m going to take you right here. Don’t you worry about my kids. I’ll talk to them.” With that said, he got back into the truck.

Ryan went to the front door with Shannon. She didn’t know what to do. “So, I’ll hear from you later, right?” She sounded clingy.

“Yes. Maybe dinner? This way you can spend time with your friends.” Moving closer, he placed his hand on her waist.

Moving her hand to his chest, she agreed, “Dinner.” Ryan captured her month in a kiss that made her go weak in the knees. He released her and placed a kiss on her forehead and headed to his truck.

Shannon watched Ryan drive off before going into the cabin to face her friends. The three of them looked amused.
