Hand in hand Quote by Donna Kauffman
““Are you sure you want to sign on for this cattle drive, jillaroo?” he asked her. “Oh, indeed I do.” She slipped her arms around his waist. “You just try to stop me.” He grinned. “Well, I tried that once and we see how well that worked out.” She tipped up on her toes and kissed him. “And aren’t you glad I didn’t listen to you?” “More than I can say, Starfish.” He pulled her up off her feet and kissed her, and it didn’t take any time for it to shift to something needier and far hungrier than a simple kiss on a side porch would fulfill. “Do you think they’d miss us in there?” Kerry murmured against his mouth. “If we, uh, went out and inspected the grounds? Or…something?” “You know, there’s a separate entrance to my quarters around the back. But it’s thumping rain out there, luv.” She nodded toward the window. “It’s stopped. Look. You can see the moon.” He looked out to discover she was right indeed. He pulled her over to the window, then looked down to find her eyes sparkling a particularly mischievous shade of emerald in the wash of the golden glow. “A starfish moon,” he said, thinking form now on the two would always go hand in hand.””
