teeth.
She shook her head at the thought. God Almighty, it had been too long since she’d had someone like him—young and rugged and just all male. Hmm, she guessed something could be said for ranch life because they certainly didn’t grow them like him back in New York.
Sure, some good-looking men abounded in the city, but everyone in her circle wore a suit and tie or the latest designer threads trying to keep up with the Joneses.
Jay’s body looked like the most designer thing about him.
Otherwise, he put on no pretension or airs. He seemed simply a desirable man. Tamara blinked when he stood up and turned to her with a frown.
Had he caught her staring at his butt? Not the best way to make an impression and start off her stay at The Double R. She didn’t want the word to spread that a loose cougar prowled the town if this proved the Ebook piracy is stealing. It is a federal offense.

case, at least the on-the-prowl part. She didn’t consider herself loose by any means, just a woman with needs and a healthy appetite. And as for the cougar part? Well, maybe a few, okay, several years separated them, but who counted anyway? They wouldn’t be doing anything illegal . So who had a—
“…problem?”
She blinked. “I’m sorry?”
“I asked if you have a problem. You’re looking at me funny.”
Tamara instantly shook her head. “No problem. I’d just like to get to a bar.” God, had she just said that? The man must surely be thinking she needed rehab!
He chuckled as he opened the passenger door for her. “One bar coming up.”
“Thanks,” she mumbled, and climbed up into the leather seat.
Jay closed the door behind her and sauntered around the front of the truck to get into the driver’s seat. He looked at her from the corner of his eye and said, “I don’t know how you Yankees do things back in New York, but around here, we buckle up for safety.”
Tamara shook herself out of her sensual stupor and pulled the belt across her torso to fasten herself in.
Jay did the same then keyed the ignition before he turned his head to look at her. “There’s a little place down the road a piece that should suit your needs right nice.”
Tamara nodded, not sure what she needed yet, except him.

Where had her insight gone?
Logic told him she hadn’t seen him in close to two decades, that he had been a kid when she’d left and had looked a lot different then than he did now.

Sure, he had aged, but he still had his same basic features, the same eyes.
Couldn’t Tamara see her boy beneath the man? Or did the overall adult package Jay represented blind her?
Even if he was blind to his attractiveness most of the time, Jess always had his identical twin and the bevy of female admirers panting after Jax to remind Jess that he wasn’t too bad in the looks department. Tamara’s reaction to him back at the airport just confirmed this.
He grinned at the memory of catching her staring at his backside.
The look on her blushing face had been priceless and went a long way to assuage his irritation at her snub, no matter how unintentional it had been.
