I sing softly to Paisley. The entire time I’m aware the video monitor is on and there’s so much I want to tell Logan. I thought he was this cowboy who’d had an easy, perfect life growing up in a small town.

But he was a foster kid and he’s seen some pretty intense things if those scars are anything to go by. It makes me cringe to think of anyone hurting my cowboy husband. He’s got the biggest heart of any man I’ve ever known. He’s still a man.

The pull low in my belly is back at the thought. I saw the way he kept checking me out while we were painting. He tried to hide it, but the unmistakable look of male appreciation was in his gaze. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t bend over for longer after that, didn’t let my t-shirt dip down a little further. He thought I didn’t see the way he adjusted his pants or the way he hissed out a breath when I let my chest graze against his arm.

When Paisley has finally quieted, I put her in the crib. Logan insisted on buying a new mattress for it today. He’d read something about suffocation risks with old baby mattresses. The man is quickly becoming an encyclopedia on fatherhood. If I were planning to stick around, I’d love to watch him raise Paisley. Something tells me he’d be an amazing dad.

Logan has just finished putting the last of the paint on the walls when I step into the room. The windows are open, letting in the fresh scent of cool winter air. It feels good against my overheated skin.

“I guess all there is to do is wait now,” I say, eyeing him. Surely, he’ll make a move now. He has to sense the tension between us, and he’ll act on it.

He gives me a grin and produces a deck of cards. “I thought I could teach you to play poker while we wait.”

I work to keep my expression casual, dropping my gaze to my feet. “I don’t know. I’m not very good at cards.”

“It’s fun. We’ll play strip poker,” he says.

I look up at him through lowered lashes even as excitement builds in me. He clearly wants to see me naked or he wouldn’t have suggested this game. “You’ll go easy on me because I’m a newbie?”

“Sure,” he answers with full confidence as he settles on the hardwood floor. He’s spread out a blanket across from himself and he pats it. “Have a seat. We’ll focus on learning the basics.”

Logan gives me a rundown of the various poker hands. I slow him down twice and ask questions. He’s patient with me, using cards from the deck to illustrate his point. Then he deals the first hand.

“So, is this good?” I ask when I show him my full house.

“Good but not as nice as four of a kind,” he answers, revealing his cards.

I remove my sock then the next one. By the third hand, I’ve removed my necklace.
