Chapter Twelve

Ginger had never been kissed the way Nate kissed her. The level of care he took with her was exquisite, and she wanted to hold onto the moment for as long as possible. He eventually broke the kiss, and only then did Ginger realize how her heart sprinted in her chest.

She pulled in a breath, because her body had been shocked by such an amazing kiss that her involuntary functions had stalled.

“All right,” Nate said quietly, securing his hand in hers again. He started down the road again, walking slowly the way they always did. She went with him, though she still felt a bit numb. She wasn’t sure why, because her skin felt like someone had injected electricity into her cells.

She crackled with every step, a smile curving her mouth and refusing to straighten even when she looked at Nate. He grinned back at her, and Ginger ducked her head again.

“Oh, my hat.” He released her hand and strode back to where she’d dropped it on the ground. She’d meant to hold it for him, but that kiss had literally melted her muscles into marshmallows.

“Sorry,” she said as he came back toward her. “I don’t normally just throw a man’s hat on the ground.”

“It’s fine,” he said. “Thanks for the tip.” He took her hand again, and they continued their walk. When the barn came into sight, he dropped her hand and tucked his in his pocket, the way he’d always done. No one knew they stole away for thirty minutes after she completed her morning chores and before he went out to the bird blinds and fences.

Even if they did, Ginger could simply say she needed privacy to interview Nate for something the BOP wanted. No one had to know anything else.

You won’t be able to keep this secret for long, she thought as Nate tipped his hat at her and went into the equipment shed to get his tools. He’d expressed some frustration with the building aspect of the bird blinds, but when she’d gone out to look at the one he’d completed, it was perfect.

“I rebuilt it four times,” he’d admitted, and Ginger may have started to fall for him then.

Or maybe the slope had become a little slippery when she’d watched him lift Connor above his head and buzz like an airplane as the boy giggled and shrieked with delight. Or when he charmed the children in the riding lessons. Or stood at the window and watched him, Nick, and Spencer load into a pickup truck and go to town for chicken wings and cheese fries.

No matter when it had started, Ginger had definitely started to fall for Nate Mulbury. She’d told herself to go slow, and she’d been pulling on the reins of their relationship for a couple of weeks.

Now that he’d kissed her, Ginger wanted to climb onto the nearest roof and shout the news to the world. Emma would be able to tell something had changed in her, and Ginger decided not to go back to the homestead for lunch like she usually did.
