Wild Weekend. Susanna Carr

just as she had when she’d been on the edge of the Top of the City Hotel, ready to let go and fall.

      She wanted to pursue this. Pursue Travis. It didn’t make sense. She didn’t have flings. She had relationships. Loving, committed relationships with a future. She wasn’t thinking about that with Travis.

      And yet, she wanted him more than she wanted to check something off her list. But she couldn’t repeat that mistake. She couldn’t allow a man to distract her from a goal. When she had delayed her dreams for Darrell, she had considered the pros and cons. She thought it had been the right decision to stay in Cedar Valley and make their relationship a priority.

      A lot of good that did. She should have put herself and her dreams first. This time her dream list was top priority. She wanted Travis more than she wanted to climb Mount Rainier or get a tattoo, but she simply couldn’t leave Vegas with nothing crossed off her dream list.

      As she followed Travis’s movements, her breasts brushing against his chest, Christine fought back the urge to roll her hips against his. She hadn’t crossed anything off her list and she had only two more days here.

      What if she crossed one thing off her list before exploring this thing with Travis? The excitement started to fizz through her veins as she grabbed hold of this idea. Just one. That was all she needed. Complete one goal and then she could add Travis to her list.

      “You look very serious all of a sudden,” Travis said against her ear.

      A one-night stand. But it wasn’t enough. She wanted more than one night, one time.

      “Relax,” he continued. “I won’t let anything happen to you.”

      But she wanted something to happen. Something that would change her life. Her point of view.

      “I was thinking I haven’t checked anything off my list since I got to Vegas,” she said. What would be the easiest thing to accomplish? Something quick. She didn’t want to waste any more time. The sooner she crossed something off her list, the sooner she could start her wild night with Travis.

      “We’ll have to do something about that,” he said as his hands slid down the small of her back. “What’s on your list?”

      You. And by this time tomorrow, Travis Cain will have been added and checked off her list. “How do you feel about the Grand Canyon?”

      “I can make that happen.” Travis said.

      Christine smiled. “I know you can.”
