CHAPTER 31 Farmwork 

  KAT

  Luke closes the distance between us in just a few steps. He gathers me in his arms and lifts me off the ground. He spins around a few times, causing me to squeal. Luke laughs loudly before he sets me back on the ground. Before he returns to feeding the animals, he kisses me hard on the lips, leaving me dizzy.     

  "What are you doing out here?" He asks sweetly. 

  "I missed you," I say as a heat of embarrassment washes over my chest and cheeks. 

   "You are adorable when you are flustered," Luke says, running his dirty hands over my cheeks. 

  Shaking my head from side to side, I try to compose myself. "What are you doing?" I ask even though I already know the answer.  

  I begin to roam up and down the barn, reaching my hands through the fences and trying to pet the animals, but each one backs away quickly, avoiding my touch.    

  "I am feeding the animals," he says obviously as he reaches through the fence and scratches one of the cows on top of its head.
