Maddie nodded. After discovering the real reason why Howard wanted to marry her, she totally understood Garrett’s reasons. She certainly didn’t expect him to hand out a card to everyone he met that said Garrett Trask, rich man.
She trailed her finger down his cheek, a hint of stubble grazing the soft pad of her fingertip, sending a tingle of electricity through her.
“How could I not fall in love with you, Garrett? You’re everything I've ever wanted in a man.” She gestured at the junction in the distance. “I was going to turn around and come back, to talk to you, to see if there was some way we could save the ranch and be together.”#p#分页标题#e#
“Maddie.” He crushed her to him, holding her as if he would never let her go. “You have no idea how much I love you.” His expression became serious. “Promise me you’ll never run off like that again. No matter what, we’ll talk things through. When I realized you’d gone...” His lips tightened. “I can’t go through that again, sweetheart.”
“I promise.” Love shone in her eyes.
He swept her up into his arms. Squeaking with surprise, she clutched his shoulders, realizing they stood on the side of the highway. The helicopter had landed neatly on the shoulder of the road, so cars could still pass, unimpeded.
“Then let’s go home to the ranch.” Her lips tingled from his passionate kiss.
Garrett helped her into the helicopter, and tossed the pilot the car keys. “I’ll fly us back, if you drive the car,” he told the wiry, middle-aged man.
“Yes, sir.”
Once seated at the controls, Garrett turned to her. “When we get home, we’re going to set a wedding date. For next month.”
“Next month!” Her eyes widened, then she laughed. She couldn’t think of anything better than marrying the love of her life - the sooner the better. Her eyes sparkled up at him. “How about next week?”
“How about tomorrow?” His wickedly sexy grin made her heart race. “We can fly to Vegas in the morning.”
“Perfect.” And Maddie knew with utter certainty that marriage to Garrett would be absolutely wonderful.
The End
