Long Hard Ride (Rough Riders #1)(79)

“Good. Because I’m in for the long haul. I don’t want little picky stuff to tear us apart when the big picture is so promising.” She smoothed her fingers along the dogged set of his jaw. “Any questions?”


Colby kissed the inside of her wrist. “One.”


“Shoot.”


“Is this where I tell you I love you?”


Channing’s eyes filled with tears and she nodded.


“I love you, Channing Kinkaid. You make me the luckiest, happiest man in the world. Life on the ranch ain’t always gonna be rainbows and butterflies and the heart-poundin’ excitement of rodeo, but dammit, it will be our life. I’ll spend every wakin’ hour makin’ sure our life together fulfills your every fantasy.”


Deliriously happy, she snagged his hat and plopped it on her head.


“Is this where we ride off into the sunset, cowboy?”


“Yep.” Colby kissed her. Long. And hard. “I’d much rather ride you, but hey, I can adapt to anything you throw my way.”
