Page 28 of A Billionaire's Cabin Love

“I had a hangover.”

“She was in good hands. I’d like to think I took good care of her.” I winked at Kara.

She scowled.

Garrett’s smile dropped, and he stared at Kara.

It was time for me to step away. “Where can I find the dog food?”

“In the red shed.” His eyes never left hers.

My job was done. All the guys who had a crush on her would know I was the man who she belonged to, even if she wasn’t officially my woman, yet. It was just a matter of time.

I hustled to the shed. I poured dog food in eight bowls, then dispersed the bowls between the dogs. Two dogs shared each of the large bowls of food. I ran back in, grabbing bowls to fill with water for them also to share.

Many tasks were completed for me in my life, but I could handle feeding my own Bull dog growing up. He died when I was fifteen. Maybe Kara and I will get a dog.

Running my hand up and down their fur, I smiled. “Good doggies.”

“Collin, why did you do that?” I heard at my back.

I stood, staring down at her. Her chest rose and fell.

“We had this discussion yesterday. I told you, Kara, you’re mine,” I growled through gritted teeth.

“Doesn’t matter if I never had a girlfriend. You are who I want to be my woman. Remember how you felt with me the other night.” I grabbed her hand. “Remember how yesterday you laid in my arms, nuzzled against my chest. You want me and I want you.” I turned my head to the dimming sky and blew out a breath.

“This is your job, I get it.” My eyes met hers again. Her gaze softened a bit.

“I’d like to take some of the load off of you if I can. Did you tell him we don’t need two igloos?”

She gaped. “No.”

I shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. Pick an igloo for us to share.”

She shook her head. “Collin, I can’t.”

I tapped the tip of her red nose. “You will, sweetheart. The dogs are fed. I’m hungry.” My eyes poured over her.

She shifted her weight from leg to leg. “I’ll set up dinner.”

“I want to feast on those lips, Kara.”

She visibly swallowed. “Jesus, Collin.”

“I’ll help.”

She nodded.

We gathered our gear and crawled into the small opening of the igloo. Kara climbed onto a raised floor. She flipped on the lantern and placed it against the wall.

“Can you roll out our sleeping bags? I’ll prepare our dinner.”

“Ok.” I was able to sit up comfortably and stretch my legs. Earlier, I wondered because I’m so tall if my feet would’ve hung out the door.

“After we’ve used the restroom, which is located in the medium gray building next to the red shed, we’ll place snow logs in the opening to block out the cold winds.”

I smiled wide. “Sounds good. You experience this life every day. Is there ever a time you don’t want to rough it?” I rolled our sleeping bags outside by side.
