“You’re quitting? You’re going to write a book?” Sam looked dumbfounded. He’d come all this way to see her and she’d apparently stole his thunder. She’d never forget what he’d been willing to give up for her though.
“We have a line of paranormal fiction books that have been ignored due to lack of time and interest. I’m planning to revive the imprint. Write a few of my own and maybe recruit a few other authors. Finally put my English degree to use.” Tabby leaned forward and pressed her lips to his briefly. “And I can do that from anywhere. I’d only have to travel if I needed to do some research that couldn’t be done any other way.”
Sam cupped her face with his large hands and a shiver went up her spine. “By anywhere do you happen to mean Springwood?”
He actually looked nervous about her answer. She nodded, more tears welling up in her eyes and her throat growing tight. He seemed as emotional as she was and he pulled her close, not speaking for the longest time.
“I want you to come back to Springwood with me, Tabby. I love you and I want to make a life with you. I know we haven’t known each other very long but I’ve never felt anything like this before. I know that I can’t turn my back on it. On you.”
She could feel his words as well as hear them, the urgency of his tone strong. “I know there aren’t any guarantees. We could crash and burn but I can’t stop thinking about you. I love you and I need to be with you.”
He tipped her chin up and their gazes locked. “You don’t have to do this. Change your life, I mean. I’d never ask you to make all the compromises, Tabby.”
That’s what made Sam different than any other man she’d ever known.
“I know and thank you for that. But I was ready to make a change. The show was ready for a change. It’s worked out better for everyone, really. I promise you this is what I want.”
“You’re what I want.” His arms tightened around her. “Anything else is negotiable.”
Tabby gave him a mischievous smile. “I want you too, Deputy Sam Taylor.” She popped open the first button on his shirt. “Check out time isn’t until noon. Got any ideas of how to pass the time?”
Grinning wickedly, Sam rolled her onto her back, his hot, hard body pressing her into the mattress and making her think of wicked, naughty things they could do on this bed.
“I’ve got several ideas actually. Been thinking about them all week.”
Sam spent the next few hours showing her how much he’d missed her and how good it was going to be together. Lost in the magic of their brand new love, they didn’t hear Serena banging on the connecting door asking about her coffee. Tabby would find out about that later when she introduced her sister to Sam.
At this moment, they were the only two people in the world.
I hope you enjoyed another Cowboy Justice Association happily ever after! Thank you for reading.
