Chapter Seven

“Now that I know we are truly married it is different, Cray. I can buy some yard goods now without feeling guilty. I just needed to know we were really going to be together forever before I could take from you. I know you said I could, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that. It almost felt like you were buying me.”

“I didn’t mean for you to feel that way.”

“I’m sure you didn’t.”

She quickly prepared food, but sitting, even on the two pillows he placed on her chair, proved to be difficult. Jordan ate as quickly as possible, anxious to get to her feet. When she looked at Cray, she was surprised to see him trying to hide a smile from her. “You are laughing at me!” she accused. “It’s not funny, Cray!”

“Your fair skin makes a spanking worse,” he insisted, and then added, “I will need to remember that and not be so firm when it isn’t necessary.” He rose and helped her with the dishes. “I was going to offer to take you to town this afternoon, but it’s easy to see that sitting on the wagon seat would be too painful for you.”

The problem with Jordan was that she lost her temper when she felt she was being made fun of, and that prompted her to throw the wet dishcloth at him, smacking him full in the face. “You know I can’t sit, Cray, and it is mean for you to tease me like that!” She stomped into the bedroom and was about to slam the door when all she could see was how they’d made love so passionately. She couldn’t be in that room right now. It hurt her feelings that he was making fun of her.

When she turned to leave the room, he was standing there, blocking her way. “I wasn’t making fun of you, and I’m sorry if it seemed I was. I honestly would like to take you shopping, but I know you would be miserable. There is nothing funny about that, especially when it isn’t necessary to insist you go to town. Don’t be angry with me, honey. Not today. What happened between us is magical and I love you.”

“I don’t like being teased about something so embarrassing,” she whispered, unable to look at him.

Cray put his hand under her chin and raised her head so that he could see into her pretty green eyes. “Don’t be embarrassed, beautiful lady. I would give my life for you.”

She suddenly threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. “I don’t want you to give your life for me. I’m sorry I am so sensitive.”

“It’s all right, honey.” He kissed her. “I will go to town alone and pick up more nails and return as quickly as possible. What will you do?”

“If you are positive that Otis Brown is safe, I will walk over there and apologize to him and discuss what plans he’s made for fixing up the place.”

“That would please me, Jordan.
