Chapter Nine

Chase

Warm morning sunshine streamed through the window, heating my face. Peeking through heavy eyelids, I found myself in an unfamiliar space—Harper’s room.

The curtains matched the comforter, a red plaid with little bits of gold and green. The headboard and dresser were a light-colored wood, well-worn from generations of use. There was history here, in every piece. It was homey, warm, so unlike my family’s manor.

Harper stirred beside me and reached her arm across my bare chest.

The skin on skin contact ignited memories of the night before. Memories of the best night of my life.

I looked to her, to the subtle freckle on her nose that I hadn’t noticed before, to the one just above her right eye. She was naturally beautiful, and more than anything I wanted to wake up like this every single day of my life, here in her bed, by her side. She was my world, everything that I wanted, everything I’d ever need.

Last night in the barn had been absolutely amazing, but incredible sex and accepting that we were mates for life were two different things. I knew I was ready, the wolf inside knew, but I couldn’t expect Harper to feel the same. Not so quickly, not as a human.

Harper arched her back and stretched her arms, and she squinted at me through thick lashes.

“Chase.” A smile spread across her restful face. Her reaction filled me with joy. Every day I wanted to wake to that sated smile.

“I didn’t mean to wake you,” I said.

She opened her eyes wider and spread her fingers over my chest.

Already my cock was stirring.

“I should have been up ages ago.” She looked toward the window.

“It can’t hurt to sleep in every now and then, can it?”

She squinched up her nose. “I don’t think the animals will agree with you.”

“Oh yeah?”

“The chickens’ll be all over me, and I bet the cows are already crying.”

“You don’t have farm hands to help start the chores for you? Do they come in later?”

“Nope, it’s just me and my dad. And with him hurt—”

A ring sounded through the house. If I had to guess, I’d say it came from downstairs.

“Crap.” Harper jumped from the bed, in just her tank top and panties, and raced down the hall. Her footsteps echoed down the steps and I heard her answer the phone.

“Wainwright residence.”

I climbed out of bed and straightened the sheets and comforter while I waited for Harper to return.

“I’m so glad you called, Dad. I was going to stop by after a little—” Her voice had a jovial pitch. I tried not to listen to her conversation, but I couldn’t help hearing. It was good to know her father was well enough to call.

“I’m on it. Getting done all the chores without issue.” I could hear the lie, sure as day. She needed help. Taking care of the ranch was too much for just one person, hell, it was probably too much for the two of them before her father got laid up.

“You just worry about getting better.
