“You have the biggest heart,” Adalynn whispered. She
 
 brushed her lips over Cassia’s temple, smoothing away her
 
 hair first, and probably more than a few clinging stems of hay.
 
 “I love that about you. That, and a heck of a lot more.”
 
 “I love you. Every little bit. Even if you’re the one who’s
 
 always saying there’s room for one more. One more chicken,
 
 one more goat…”
 
 “It’s not my fault there are so many being given away who
 
 need homes.”
 
 “Well, you do follow quite a few goat and chicken rescue
 
 pages.”
 
 “That’s for educational purposes,” Adalynn excused herself.
 
 “Right.” Cassia rolled her eyes, and then let out a squeal
 
 when Adalynn reached around and pinched her bottom. “Hey!
 
 I’ll behave, I swear.”
 
 Adalynn’s hand rubbed away the sting and drew Cassia
 
 closer so that they were flush up against each other, bodies
 
 melding together in an easy, practiced, perfect fit. “I’d like it
 
 just as much if you didn’t,” Adalynn whispered suggestively.
 
 “Oh really? I can arrange that. After we take out the rest of
 
 these bales, we’ll be good and sweaty and in dire need of a
 
 shower.”
 
 “A shower, hmm?”
 
 “Together.”
 
 Adalynn’s eyes lit up with humor even as her pupils
 
 darkened and widened with desire. The gray of her irises was
 
 shot through with darker metal hued spokes. “In that case, we
 
 had better hurry and get this truck unloaded. I can’t wait to
 
 take you inside.”
 
 “It’s a date, then.”
