Adamâs knees were still shaking two hours after heâd made love to Eve. The experience had drained him, in more ways than one. He could still smell her scent on his body. It might have been his imagination, but he didnât care. His life had changed again, this time for the better.
Eve was passionate, more than heâd expected. His experience with women had been limited to two, one paid and one a widow. Heâd learned quite a bit from the woman he paid. She told him she wanted to âgive him a lesson in pleasing a womanâ. Judging by Eveâs reaction, heâd done just that.
Their wedding night had taken place in the basement of the mill in the middle of the afternoon. Not the most romantic location, but he couldnât regret it. The pleasure heâd found in her arms was beyond anything heâd known existed. He wasnât completely sure, but he suspected Eve wasnât a virgin. There had been no blood when heâd washed up.
It didnât bother him, though. They were both reborn when heâd crashed the wagon. The flour had been a baptism of sorts for them. Sheâd found him and heâd found her. Now they had started their lives together, in truth. They had many years ahead, an open road of experiences to share.
Adam was still finding his way in this new world where he was responsible for his family, a wife and the mill. Thinking about what heâd be doing in a year was ridiculous. He had trouble thinking about what heâd be doing in a week.
He shut down the wheel and finished loading the flour into the bins upstairs. Tomorrow heâd deliver them, this time without an accident. Uncle Lee and Clint had helped retrieve the broken pieces and taken them into town for repair then lent Adam a wagon to transport the flour until they could fix the old one.
Adam didnât know how people survived without families to support them. He sure as hell wouldnât have anything without them. As he left the mill, he saw Rose come tearing out of the house toward him. His heart slammed into gear and he moved toward her.
âRose!â
âItâs Pa!â She reached him in moments, her chest heaving from running. âH-heâs awake!â
Adam blinked and pulled his sister into a hug. âThank God.â He took her hand and they returned to the house side by side. He didnât want to ask how Pa was. The truth might be too hard to accept. Heâd rather hope for the best than know the worst.
Voices echoed down the stairs as he took them two at a time, Rose hot on his heels. He found Bella outside the room, tears rolling down her face. She shook her head and leaned against the wall, seemingly overcome.
Adam entered the bedroom with his heart somewhere near his throat. Mama sat on the edge of the bed while Eve stood on the other side. Pa lay partially sitting up, a few pillows behind his head. His head and shoulders were still swathed in bandages, but his eyes were open.
