“Caroline.” He scarcely recognized his own voice.
Barely aware of what he was doing, he deliberately turned her to face him, bent his head, and caught her mouth under his.
He didn’t know how long he moved over her lips, but he did know he never wanted to stop. She was sweet beyond belief, and soft. And female. So female he ached all over.
“Don’t you ever, ever do that again!” she shouted, pulling away.
He could see her body shaking; the ruffles down the front of her shirtwaist trembled.
He stared at her. Her eyes blazed into his and without thinking he reached for her arm.
“Stay away,” she warned. “Just stay away from me.”
What the—? He stepped back but couldn’t stop looking at her. He’d never misjudged a woman this badly since he was a green boy of fourteen.
Women in the Old West struggled to be treated as equals, to own property in their own names and to exercise their right to vote—things we take for granted in today’s America.
This story reminds us that such rights had to be fought for.
