Heart of Rockies 03 - More Than a Feeling (33 page)

“Oh my god,” she said again, then sank to her knees. “Oh my…yes. Yes, Sawyer.” She rested her forehead against his, her eyes so bright and alive. “I can’t wait to marry you.”

“Then let’s do it soon,” he murmured, kissing her lips. “So we can bring Brookie home.” So they could make a home for her. “We can book something at the ranch later this fall.” Knowing Aunt Elsie, she’d kick out all their guests to make it happen.

“Yes.” She nodded, tears dissolving into laughter. “I’d marry you tomorrow, Sawyer. I don’t need it to be fancy.”

“Tomorrow won’t give me enough time to plan the honeymoon.” After everything she’d been through, she deserved the best honeymoon earth had to offer. He pushed to his feet and pulled her up, then tucked her under his arm and led her to the bench. They both sat, looking out on mountain-studded horizon. Already the tops of the peaks had been dusted with snow.

“Honeymoon.” Ruby sighed like she’d been caught up in a dream. “I’ve never even been on a real vacation. Where we will go?”

“I’ll surprise you.” Maybe Fiji? Hawaii? The thought of spending an entire week alone with Ruby holed up in some beach hut reignited the whole skinny-dipping fantasy. “I’m thinking somewhere tropical,” he said in a low voice, making sure it was close enough to her ear to give her some serious goose bumps. “So I can watch you walk around in a bikini for a week.”

The happiness in her laugh filled him, too.

She peered up at him, joy blaring from her luminous, honest eyes. “I don’t care where we go. As long as I’m with you. That’ll always be enough for me.”

He cradled her face in his hands, marveling at the beauty Ruby had brought into his life. Marveling at the power of something real and lasting. “That’ll always be enough for me, too.”
