Chapter Five

Hearing about Mount’s wealth made her feel a little uneasy. “I’m not a gold digger. I didn’t know.”

“I know that.”

Her stomach growled again, interrupting them.

“I know you’re not. Are you warm enough?”

She nodded.

“Come on, let’s make us some dinner. I’m starving.” He helped her off his lap, and she missed being in his arms the moment he let her go. Rather than linger, though, she walked into the kitchen and waited to see what he did.

She loved to cook but this was still his home, his domain, and she just had to wait and see.

“How do you feel about a tomato and garlic pasta?”

“Love it.”

He got to work, and she was surprised to see him chopping up some tomatoes.

“I saw a little vegetable garden. Do you grow all of your own food?” she asked.

“I try to. It’s winter, so tomatoes aren’t exactly in season, but I like them. I’ve yet to master the art of preserving. Winter is harder to grow, but most of the winter and root vegetables are from the garden.”

“It really does sound idyllic.”

“I love it here.”

“You wouldn’t change it?” She had to wonder if he ever got lonely. She imagined it was easy to do so but didn’t say anything. Licking her dry lips, she watched as he started on an onion.

He diced fast.

“The only thing missing for me is a family.”

“A family?”

“Yes. A wife who could handle this life, and I want kids. Those bedrooms, I never anticipated them staying empty for so long.”

“You want a big family?” she asked.

“Yes. I was an only child.”

“What about your parents?” She was curious about everything in this man’s life. His parents, his life, his world.

“They died when I was in college. Car crash.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry.”

“What about you?” he asked.

“I don’t have any parents. I was in the foster system as a baby. Stayed there until it was time to leave.”

“No foster parents? No adoption?”

“Nope. There was always another kid. Someone more outgoing. I was the kind of girl that liked to get lost in a book. For some reason, people didn’t like that. At least the ones who came to visit. It wasn’t so bad. I know some kids have it rough. I got used to it.”

“You ever want to find your parents?” he asked.

“No. I never saw the reason to go hunting for people who didn’t care about me and dumped me as soon as I was born. It’s what was on my file. Within days of me being alive, I was left on the doorstep of a foster home.” She shrugged. There was no reason for tears.

“Do you want to have a family of your own?”

She’d asked him so she didn’t see a reason to be mad at him for turning the question back on her. “As a girl, it was my dream.” She paused as he began to add the pasta to the pot of boiling water on the stove. It was so relaxing to watch him cook. She could stay here all day long.
