barn.
    “I’m getting ready
to head out with your daddy.”
    “On the two-day
trip?”
    I nodded my head,
watching her. She looked so pretty when she flushed up, startled, her
eyes wide, her breathing fast.
    “I didn’t know you
were going with him.”
    “Gonna miss me?” I
couldn’t resist teasing her. She looked so skittish, like I might
eat her up. She was right about that.
    “Bet you are,” I
continued. Her eyes widened. I liked getting her riled up. She sure
did it to me.
    She looked down,
blushing now, the pink rising up into her cheeks. And spreading down
along her collarbone, up to the top of her halter dress. No sleeves,
no straps. A man could pull that elastic right on down and gain full
access to paradise. I stepped closer.
    “I didn’t know you
were going on the trip,” she repeated.
    “You already said
that.” I stepped closer.
    “What are you doing?”
she asked, jumpy, her eyes darting over to the entrance.
    “What do you mean?”
I wasn’t going to touch her, not with her father about to come down
to the truck any second. Hands-off, that was my policy. But it
couldn’t hurt to look, up real close, nose pressed against the
window.
    “Why are you walking
over to me?” She looked pinned, trapped, though I wasn’t holding
her there. I’d like to.
    “Can’t a man say
goodbye?”
    “What are you going
to do?”
    “What do you want me
to do?” I knew I was playing with fire, but who could resist it
when it burned so bright?
    “Declan.” She
glanced away, down, anywhere but right at me though I was pretty
close now. Close enough that I could close the gap real fast, reach
out and pull her to me in the blink of an eye.
    “Yes, Kara?” I
liked saying her name. Even more than that, I liked her saying mine.
I wanted to hear her whisper it into my ear real close in the dark,
breathe it out needy, scream it out loud when she came.
    The screen door slammed
up at the big house. I knew Harlan would be by real soon. He’d want
to get on the road.
    “Guess I’d better
get going,” she said. She didn’t move.
    I brought my hand up
over her head against the wall of the barn. I leaned over her. She
wasn’t a tiny woman, she had real womanly curves and long legs, but
right next to me she felt small and fragile. I could tell she was
trembling. I could smell her strawberry hair, so soft. Her eyelids
flickered closed for a moment, like she was about to swoon.
    “You OK?” I
whispered, real low in her ear.
    “Mmm,” she
murmured, swaying slightly toward me.
    Still in that low
whisper, I told her, “I’ll be thinking about you while I’m
gone. How you tasted in the barn. And that moan I heard you make when
you watched me get my cock sucked.”
    Her eyes flew open,
wide. I pulled back, shoving my hands into my pockets and taking a
few steps away.
    “You do the same now,
y’hear?” I flashed her a grin like it was no big deal. Like I’d
told her to say hi to her grandma for me.
    She stayed pressed
against the wall, breathing fast, her breasts heaving up and down,
her tiny waist below. I just about rushed back and crushed her
against me, pressed my lips to hers, the hell with it all.
    Instead, I tipped the
brim of my hat to her. Such a gentleman. Then I climbed into the
truck with her father and drove off with a raging hard-on for his
daughter. Not such a gentleman after all.

    We came back from the
trip early. Some meeting had fallen through, something else had come
up back at the ranch. I didn’t feel like being out on the road with
Harlan anymore anyway. He’d shot down my idea for wilderness
tourism like I was an idiot. He didn’t see the point in it, didn’t
believe anyone would ever pay to come out and do ranch work.
    When you put it like
that, it did sound stupid. Who would pay to do hard manual labor? But
that wasn’t the point. You had to sell the idea of it, the lure of
the wild. I’d seen it work at the other ranch where I’d spent my
winter. I knew the idea had legs and I
