“So, now what?”
“Meaning what?”
“Are you going to see Alex now?”
Dylan smiled. “Yes. He’s coming by tomorrow night.”
“I’m glad. You seem to like him a lot,” Peyton said.
“I do, Peyton. I know you think I’m crazy because he’s a cowboy, but that man makes my heart skip a beat. And speaking of hot, you should have seen the agent with him. Yowza!”
“Really? What’s his name?”
“Luke McCallister. He’s tall, dark, and way past handsome.”
“But is he a cowboy?”
“I don’t know about that. I mean, he wore the hat, jeans, and boots, but I think that’s what all the agents wear.”
“Maybe.” Peyton sighed. “I’m hoping to find someone one day, but he will not be a cowboy.”
“You said it wasn’t their fault!” Dylan exclaimed.
“It’s not, but if I date one, the odds are, I’ll fall for him, because I can’t help myself. If I don’t date one, I won’t fall for one.”
“That is the weirdest thing I have ever heard,” Marlowe said.
“I still think a cowboy is going to come along and you, Peyton Donahue, will fall for him, and he’ll be the best thing to ever happen to you.”
“Nope. I don’t see how. I’m not going to date any cowboy. As much as I do love them, I’m done with them. I’m tired of my heart being broken.”
Dylan sighed. “We’ll see. Let’s order a pizza and watch a movie.”
“Yes, let’s do that and maybe you two will let up on me. I’ll prove you wrong.” Peyton sipped her wine.
Dylan shook her head. She knew how Peyton felt. Afterall, she’d felt that way herself, but like Marlowe, she met a cowboy who changed her mind, and she couldn’t wait to see him again.
The next day, Dylan drove to town, and pulled into the parking lot of Paige’s. A lingerie shop that sold some of the sexiest items around. She planned to get something very sexy, and rock Alex’s world tonight.

That evening, Alex pulled to a stop beside Dylan’s porch, shut the truck off and stared at the house. He couldn’t wait to see her. After all they’d gone through, he was more than ready to take this to the next level. He wanted her in his life and hoped she wanted the same.
With a sigh, he opened the door, exited the truck, and walked up the steps to the porch. When he raised his hand to knock, it opened and Dylan stood there in a pink fuzzy robe, making him frown.
“Did I interrupt your bath?”
Dylan laughed. “Nope. Come inside.”
Alex wiped his feet on the mat, removed his hat, and entered the house. He hung his hat on a peg then turned to look at her. She stood there, staring at him, then a slight smile lifted her lips.
“I hope you brought condoms,” she said.
He grinned. “Maybe.”
“Well, if you didn’t, you need to get your ass back in your truck and go get some.”
He slowly walked toward her, stopped in front of her, reached out, and took a few strands of her hair between his fingers. He gazed into her eyes.
