Colton gives me a look that tells me there’s more to it. “At least we’ll be done with the harvest. Then next week I gotta plow the fields, get them ready for the next crop.”

I let out an irritated sigh. “Damnit, I forgot about that.”

He strolls over to me. “I’ll tell you what, darlin’. Once we’re finished with harvesting, we’ll do something fun.”

I lift my brow playfully. “Just the two of us?”

“You and I.” He grins, getting undressed to join me in the tub. “There’s somewhere I wanna take you.”

Where could he possibly want to take me?

Last time we went somewhere together, it ended in a fight with me trying to walk home.

I hate surprises.
