Page 68 of Milking His Lass

Shaking my head, I, too, take my cow into my arms. “Even if I don’t always ‘get it’ as long as I get you, I’m content.”

“You have me, my strong, Master Rancher.”

“And I you, my stubborn lass. Forever.”

“Ever ever?”

“Until there are no more stars left shining in the sky. I refuse to be in a world where I can no longer see your beauty.”

Her eyes mist up as she burrows into my arms, a contented sigh dancing on her lips. I hold her tightly against my chest, knowing just how close I came to losing her. I will never make that mistake again. If I have to atone my whole life to make up for the time she spent in Jakroon’s clutches, it will still never be enough.

Taking her into the house, I ease her into the shower. There are still chores to be done, but for now, I can simply breathe in her scent and know everything is right in my world. With my lovely lass by my side, I have everything I will ever need.
