  “I’ve been dreaming about this moment.” Chief clutches my shoulders and eyes me up and down. I slip my hands down to my waist and pull my dress off over my body. I’m finally naked in front of him.

  “I thought about this, too,” I whisper. I look around the barn, and the hairs on my arms stand up in a shiver. “But I didn’t imagine it happening here,” I giggle.

  Chief smiles, running a finger along my shoulder and down to my hands.

  “I imagined it just about everywhere else,” he says. I bite my lip.

  “Ever since I first saw you, I’ve wanted to make you mine.”

  I stutter before I can speak. There’s no going back from this.

  “Make me yours, Chief.”

  He lunges towards me, our lips coming together in heated intensity. Chief sits back and pulls me on top of him so that we’re sitting together; our bodies pressed together with only his erect sword between us.

  I clutch my thighs around him. He slides his hands beneath my buttocks and lifts me up without so much as a sigh of effort. I take one last look down and his member, slightly wet at the top, but still bigger than anything I’d ever dreamed of.

  With one hand, he takes my chin and lifts my face so that it’s parallel with his own. He drops his head so that our noses just touch. His other hand guides his cock to my swollen entrance, and as his grip on my thigh releases, I drop down onto him, taking him inside of me.

  We cry out together. Chief wraps his neck around mine and sighs into my neck. I bite down into his skin, unable to control my arousal.

  Over and over, Chief drives into me, rocking his hips back and forward.

  “Tell me if you need me to slow down,” he utters into my ear.

  “No, baby, this feels good.”

  The pain subsides quickly when I finally realize what I’d been missing out on. Chief leans over and massages my breasts, sucking on my rock hard nipples and nibbling them between his lips.

  Our bodies dance in sync. I can’t understand how I’ve never done this before, yet somehow, with Chief, it all feels so natural. I wasn’t missing out on something; I was missing out on him.

  That tight feeling in my thighs returns. I suck the air through my teeth. My forehead sweats, but I don’t want to give in, not when I’m this close. Chief's fingers dig into my skin.

  “Ahh,” I sigh. He releases his grip from my waist.

  “I’m sorry, did I hurt you?”

  I try to answer him, but with our bodies still moving, I feel my eyelids start to flutter and I feel tingling in my nipples. Chief twists a lustful smile.

  “Are you coming again, Lexi?”

  “Ye-” I breathe heavily, rising and falling on my knees, sinking him deep into me.

  “Let me try this.”

  Chief lies back, and I scream out as I press into him again. This time he reaches even further and presses against a hot spot inside of me.

  “I knew you’d like that,” he whispers. I lean onto his rock-hard chest and roll my hips over his loin. I thrust harder into him, desperate to feel that sensation all over again. Chief grabs hold of my ass and guides it with forceful thumps. His hips lift into me and looking at his face; I know he’s at the same point as me.

  He waits. When I finally call out his name in long, drawn-out moans, he growls under his breath.

  “I can’t hold it, baby.”

  “Fill me, Chief,” I sigh, the third orgasm is fuller and longer than the two before. We release together. He pulls me down so that our bodies are fully touching, and I feel him drive into me one last time.

  I lie there, listening to his heartbeat slow down. I go to roll off him and lie next to him, but he stops me, instead holding me even tighter.

  “Can we just stay like this, Lexi?”

  His eyelids start to droop. I wipe away the sweat from my brow. If there’s one thing that’s clear after those hours of passion, it’s that I’m his now. Chief has me.

  Chapter Seven: Chief

  A delicate breeze wakes me. My eyes adjust to the morning brightness. When I look to my side, Lexi is gone.

  I notice the barn door swinging from side to side, so I grab my clothes and run out of the barn. Bird and Tiger are already up and working.

  “Hey, Tiger, did you see Lexi this morning? That girl from-”

  Tiger chuckles and stares down at my unzipped pants.

  “I wonder what you two got up to last night!”

  “Did you see her or not?”

  “I came by the barn this morning and opened it up. That girl came rushing past me quicker than lightning. I tried to offer her a ride home, but she ran past the gate before I could. It looks like the two of you had fun, eh?”

  “Well, I thought so.”

  I rub my head and head over to the house to get a shower and charge my phone. Something must have happened to her because I know last night we shared something.

  I rasp my fingers against the table while I wait for my phone to switch on.

  As soon as I can, I call her. No answer, but I’m not giving up that easy. I’ll have to go and find her.

  I shouldn’t. I know I shouldn’t. Her momma probably knows nothing about me, and god knows what she’ll say seeing me turn up at her door, but if something’s happened to Lexi, I’ve got to know. Lexi’s mine, and I have to protect her.

  “Excuse me, ma’am,” I call out, doing my best not to startle Mrs. Miller as she hangs her washing out on the line.

  “Can I help you?” She’s got that stance about her, strong like Lexi. Her eyes are just as blue too.

  “I’m looking for Lexi. Is she here? My name is Chief.”

  “I know who you are. You’re one of the boys from Wild Eagle Acres farm, ain’t ya?”

  “Yes, Ma’am.”

  I hold my hands behind my back and wait as she eyes me up and down.

  “Lexi’s back in the house with her sisters. I’ll go and get her for you.”

  It feels like a lifetime I stand waiting for Lexi. My hands clam up in the fear that she might not ever want to see me again, but just as I think about driving away in my truck, she appears, wearing that same yellow dress from the first day I met her.

  “Lexi!” I shout, and I run over to meet her. She wraps her hands around her body and stares down at the ground.

  “What got into you? I was worried sick when I woke up and you-”

  “Shh!” she hisses. “Momma’s here.”

  Her momma might not know about me now, but I plan to make Lexi mine for real. I want her to be my wife and the mother of my children, so she’ll find out soon enough.

  “Well, can you just tell me what I did?”

  “You didn’t do nothing, Chief. It’s just… complicated.”

  “You think I can’t handle complicated?”

  Lexi sighs, dropping her arms to her sides. I take her hand, and although she goes to pull it away, I hold tight.

  “I’m not leaving here until you explain to me what I did.”

  “Chief-”

  “I said, I’m not leaving.”

  She turns around and waves over to her Mom, peering out the window.

  “Can we get in the truck?”

  I grip onto the steering wheel, preparing myself for the worst, but also planning what I’ll say to stop from whatever her mind is telling her to do.

  “Ava got sick last night.”

  “Jesus, Lexi. Is she OK?”

  “Yeh, she’s OK, but that’s not the point.”

  I raise an eyebrow at her.

  “I should have been there; I promised Lexa that I’d be home to help out. This morning I woke up when the roosters started. I hadn’t even thought to check my phone… well, you know, what we were doing.”

  I try not to smile, I know I shouldn’t right now, but last night my wildest fantasy came true, and it surpassed any expectation that I had. I just thought that would be it. I thought I’d finally won her over.

  “Why didn’t you wake me? I’d have taken you back home. I
could have-”

  “No, Chief, you don’t understand. I’m twenty-five, I’m working on the farm, I’m studying, I’m taking care of Ava, and I’m supposed to be taking care of Mom.”

  “And you’re doing the best you can, baby.”

  “I could be doing better. I told you that I don’t date. That’s not because I didn’t want you, I do want you Chief, more than you’ll ever know, but I made that decision because I’ve got to keep my mind straight.”

  I shake my head from side to side.

  “I don’t get it. Don’t you think I can help you? Do you think I’m bad for you?”

  Lexi hangs her head. She can’t even look at me.

  “Is this because of my past, Lexi?”

  “I already told you, Chief, I’d never judge you for your past, but I can’t be stupid either. My daddy walked out on us when things got tough. I saw first-hand how it broke my Momma.”

  “And I told you, Lexi. I ain’t going back to jail, that’s why I’m in anger management!”

  I can’t stop myself. I can feel the fire flooding through me. It’s not her; I could never be angry with her. I’m angry at myself for not learning my lesson sooner. If I’d have just held back that time!

  “Lexi.” I take a deep breath and take her hand. “You know that I love you, right?”

  “Don’t say that, Chief.”

  “Why not? It’s true. I think I loved you that very first time I saw you standing there on the road. I mean, you were beautiful, and I thought about driving on, but something told me you weren’t going to be like the others, that you wouldn’t judge me for how I look or the mistakes I made.”

  “It’s not about me, Chief. I’ve got responsibilities. I can’t get locked in a barn and romp away while my sister is sick, and my momma’s worrying about me. I promised a man would never come between my family and me.”

  “Well then, I guess I’ve got some talking to do.”

  “Chief, what are you doing? Where are you going? Don’t you dare-”

  I fling the truck door open and stride down the dirt path to her house.

  “Mrs. Miller!”

  “Chief, I’m warning you!”

  “Mrs. Miller. I have something I want to say to you.”

  Mrs. Miller folds her arms. Lexi comes running down the path after me, jolting to a holt when she sees her mother and I facing each other.

  “Well? What is it?”

  I turn back and look at Lexi.

  “Mrs. Miller, I’m in love with your daughter, and I think, well, hope, I pray every damn night that she might love me back just a little bit.” I can see the shock in her eyes. She drops her washing basket down on the floor and looks over to Lexi.

  “Is this true?”

  Lexi draws a short breath and then takes a few steps to stand by my side.

  “We didn’t meet long ago, Momma. I didn’t want to tell you in case you worried about me, but it’s true. I’m falling for Chief.”

  “Now Mrs. Miller, you might look at me and see problems, I can assure you, that is not the case. I will be truthful with you, I’ve had my run-ins with the law, but that was only to protect my family, the people I love most. Now that person is Lexi, and while I’ll never stop protecting her, I know now that I have to be better, that I can’t let my anger get the better of me, even when the-”

  I stutter, holding back the curse words.

  “When the son of a gun deserves it.”

  “Momma, I don’t think Chief is doing a very good job ex-”

  “Well now, Chief, Lexi, I think we’d better go inside, don’t you?”

  Mrs. Miller takes us inside and pours us each a glass of lemonade. I hadn’t quite expected such a calm reaction from her, but I know she’s got her piece to say.

  “Now, Lexi, her sisters and I live a quiet life, we had a man, Lexi’s father, and he turned out to be no good. We look out for each other, and I don’t invite any trouble into my household. Now you said you had a past with the law back there. I don’t like the sound of that one bit.”

  Lexi and I glance over at each other from across the table.

  “I understand that, Mrs. Miller. I don’t mean to excuse what I did, but if I could just explain.”

  The three of us get through two jugs of lemonade before we finish talking about the incident with my sister back in Oklahoma City. It turns out Mrs. Miller knew the boy who was dating my sister and always suspected he was trouble. At times, we even laugh about him and his group of good-for-nothing friends, famous in some of the towns for starting trouble and disrespecting women.

  “If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s disrespecting women.”

  “I hear you there, Chief, but it’s one thing to stand up to it; it’s another to knock the living daylights out of him.”

  “You’re right, Ma’am, but I can promise you, I learned the hard way that men like that ain’t worth it. I’ve been going to my anger management classes, and the boys back at the farm keep me in shape. Plus, there’s Lexi. I’ve already promised her that I won’t get in trouble.”

  Lexi smiles at me, but there’s still an unsettling look about her eyes.

  “Lexi told me she’s worried about her sister. She said that she’s not well and that she never really has been, and as long as Lexi has a problem, I have a problem.”

  “We try our best to manage, the four of us, but it ain’t easy.”

  “Well, I had a suggestion for that, given that you both agree, that is.”

  Lexi and her Ma stare at each other before turning to me.

  “We got plenty of space on the ranch for all of you. Lexi already told me she knows her way around a farm, and I’m guessing you do too, Mrs. Miller. We got a smaller house a few acres away from my own, you’d have your own space, of course, but you’d be welcome to come see us, eat with us, help out on the farm, it’ll be yours, just like it’s mine.”

  “Chief!” Lexi exclaims. Maybe I’ve overstepped again, but I know the boys won’t care, they’d love to have another family around, and I’d have Lexi. We could finally be together.

  “It’s up to you, Lexi, Mrs. Miller, and, of course, Lexa and Ava too. I’m just putting the offer on the table because I do really love Lexi, and if this is the way we can be together happily, then I’d move mountains to make it happen. That said, if both of you want me to disappear out of your lives, you’ll never hear from me again. That’s a promise.”

  Mrs. Miller stammers over her words. Lexi guides her from the table and into a back room. I can hear them muttering, but nothing distinctive, I just have to wait.

  I hear Lexi’s dainty footsteps before I see her.

  “Well?” I ask.

  She places her hands on her hips and lets the faintest smile spread into the corner of her cheeks.

  “Momma wants to know if any of your friends are looking for an older woman?”

  I slam my hand against the table and scream out with laughter.

  “So you’re gonna do it then?”

  Lexi steps towards me and wraps her arms around my waist. Her ocean-blue eyes look into my own.

  “If you’re sure you’ll have me, I’ll stay with you for the rest of my life, Chief.”

  My muscles release as I finally see the happy ending I’d always wanted falling into place.

  “I guess you’ll do, Lexi.”

  She laughs, that same laugh as always, and I pull her up to me so that I can kiss her, knowing, at last, she’s really mine.

  Not too bad for an ex-con, I suppose.

  Epilogue 1: Lexi

  Six months later

  I squeeze Chief’s hand tight and hold back the tears of fear in my eyes.

  “Everything’s going to be alright,” he breathes.

  “I know,” I whisper, but I don’t. Of course, the chances of our baby having the same condition as Ava are low, but ever since the doctor recommended that we take the test, my heart's been racing.

  Chief’s trying to remain calm, but the second the doc
tor walks back in, he clears his throat and stands up tall.

  “Go on, we’re ready,” he affirms, wrapping an arm around me.

  “Your baby is healthy and doing very well!”

  The tear streams down my cheek, and when I turn to Chief, I can tell he’s struggling to hold back the emotion too. He leans over and kisses me on the forehead.

  “Didn’t I tell you everything would be fine?”

  “I love you,” I say, nuzzling into him.

  The whole way home, Chief keeps the scan photos on his lap, glancing at them, and then the road, whenever he can.

  “Do you think I’ll be a good dad?”

  I snort and reach out my hand to brush back his hair. “Any kid would be lucky to have you.”

  “You don’t think,” he swallows the lump in his throat. “You don’t think he might follow in my footsteps.”
