“I didn’t even think about that.” He grinned. “I guess that makes you happy?”
“It’s amazing.” I laughed. “I can’t wait until I tell her.”
“Okay.”
“If you don’t want me to say anything, I won’t.”
“Why wouldn’t I want you to say anything?”
“I don’t know. Maybe you want to keep it a secret for now?”
“Honey, there’s no keeping it a secret. I love you and this is now your bedroom. There’s no way you’re going back to your own room after this.”
“What about your parents?”
“As soon as my parents get back, God willing”—he took a deep breath—“I’m going to let them know that we’re in love, you’re staying, and you’re going to help me with the eco-retreat.”
“I was thinking maybe I could take an interior design class online or see if there’s a community college or something around here where I could do some design classes.”
“Whatever you want, my love.”
“You’re so sweet, Beau. And I can get student loans to pay for it. You don’t have to worry that I’ll expect anything from you.”
“You’re not getting student loans.”
“But I don’t have enough money in the bank to pay for it.”
“I’ll pay for it.”
“No, you can’t pay for it. That’s just too much.”
“I’m not broke, you know.”
“It doesn’t matter if you are,” I said softly. “I’ll still love you even if, for some reason, you don’t have the ranch anymore and we have to move to a motel or a trailer park or whatever. I’ll still be here for you. I’ll still love you.”
He laughed. “I have millions of dollars in the bank. All of the brothers do.” He stroked my cheek. “I’m not going to be in the street. We’re not going to be in a trailer park unless you want to live in a trailer or an RV or whatever you want. Frankly, I don’t care. I just want to be with you.”
“But you’ve been so worried about money—”
“My family has trusts for all of us. My brothers and I are well taken care of. The real concern is the ranch and all the other families we support,” he said. “If push comes to shove, we could dip into our own personal finances and see what we could do. But in business, that’s not always a smart idea. I’d like to be able to leave something for future generations, just as this was left for us.”
“I get it.” I nodded. “I understand.”
“But I love you even more knowing that you’d still be with me if I was broke.”
“Of course, Beau. I didn’t fall for you because of your money.”
“I know. It was my big cock.”
“Really?”
“What? Tell me you don’t love my big cock.”
“Are you going to say that again?”
“Say what? Big cock, big cock, big cock?”
“Beau Hamilton, that is enough.”
