“Well, I’m pretty sure by the end of a week you’ll be, ah, worn out.” Marissa glanced around, noticing more people had arrived. “Do you think we can go someplace to have a quiet conversation?”
Beau grabbed her by the hand and led her to the barn. Once inside he took her to the back where bales of hay were stacked. A small mountain of loose hay was in the corner as if someone had swept it there to pick up later. He pulled Marissa down with him, arranging her on his lap. Laughing, she wrinkled her nose.
“You’ll learn to love it,” he said with regard to the strong animal smells. “Now what do you want to talk about?”
Marissa shrugged. “I just wanted to be alone with you for a few minutes.” She glanced up at him. “I really missed you, Beau.”
“I think you know how I feel,” he said gruffly.
“Do I?” Marissa didn’t want to assume anything, and she’d made a promise to herself that she wouldn’t hem haw around when she saw Beau again but would tell him exactly how she felt. “I, ah, think it’s safe to say that we are, ah, involved.” So much for not hem hawing around. “Emotionally,” she added. There, I said it. She held her breath.
“Is that so,” Beau said after a moment of studying her intently.
Marissa couldn’t read anything in the tone of his voice. “Don’t you think so?” Then she thought about it. Maybe it was too soon for him. Maybe he didn’t know how he felt. She refused to let it get her down, not after the way he’d welcomed her with that toe-curling kiss. The hardest thing she’d ever had to do was keep the smile plastered on her face while staring up at him, waiting for some kind of response.
“I only know one thing, darlin.” Beau leaned back, dragging her down with him, enclosing her in his arms. “I want you in my life. Physically, emotionally, every way there is. These last few weeks have been hell without you.”
“So, you do think we have something, cowboy?” Marissa teased.
His answer was to roll with her so that she ended up lying in the hay. Then his lips were moving sensuously, seductively over hers, drawing out her willing response. A series of short kisses and then one long, deep kiss that reached all the way to Marissa’s soul. It was the kind of kiss that pulled the raw emotion from her, leaving her eyes burning. She held on to Beau, trying to convey how she felt.
“Does that answer your question?” His voice was hoarse.
Marissa nodded, a tight knot in her throat keeping her from speaking at first. “I just wanted to make sure,” she said throatily. Her heart was swelling with an emotion she was almost afraid to expose. “Now, where were we?”
His passionate kiss was all the answer Marissa needed.
