I Never Loved Him...It's You

Request from @bvbwestfall James Dutton. Reader and husband are separated due to her husband can't come on the wagon train because he has small pox. She hopes on a wagon with James ignoring  her husband’s words "I'll find you!"

A doctor pulled up my shirt for a second then put it back down resting a hand on my shoulder where I put my brown cowgirl hat on my head again. "You're clear. The same can't be said for your husband." My husband and I were put together by my mother who insisted I was to be wed before I became too old. Honestly my husband is a pain in the ass and I already have my heart on someone else. James Dutton and I didn't expect to fall for each other...it just happened one night at a bar and we clicked instantly. Exiting the medical room I searched around seeing that the doctors were busy talking with my husband as to what happened with me. Sneaking around the corner I climbed into the back of the wagon hiding behind one of the carts hearing a commotion outside. "Hey my wife's in here. Y/n, get back here. I'll find you!" My husband shouted trying to chase after the wagon as it started moving.

Peaking my head over one of the crates I watched as the sheriff drew his postal pointing it at my husband. "Sir, you can't go with them. You have small pox. You can't infect anyone else." Two other deputies came out grabbing my husband dragging him inside where I sighed leaning back in the wagon until James climbed in the backseat sitting across from me. Someone else was driving the horses and I could see shock on his face that I was here with him. "You're mother ain't gonna be happy you're coming with me. Or you're husband for that matter. Won't you miss him?' He asked removing his black hat sitting it on his lap. Removing my hat from my head the wind blows my hair in my eyes. "Nope. To be honest I...I never loved him...it's You, James."

James blinked a couple times where I felt my face turning red that I had just admitted my crush on the cowboy. He suddenly leans forward cupping my face in his hands crashing his lips onto mine making me gasp. Without thinking I wrapped my arms around his neck kissing him enjoying the feeling just like I imagined I always would. He broke the kiss holding my face in his hands "I love you too, Y/n. I just didn't want to get in the way if you loved him..." Climbing into his lap I shake my head drawing him in for another kiss that he immediately responded too. "We have each other now. Nobody can keep us apart anymore. James, I love you always." He runs one hand through my hair deepening the kiss as we started on the bed journey together.
