“There’s Ian,” Cammie said.
“I see him.” Eden didn’t take her eyes off him. “Did I tell you he has one hell of a body? He has an amazing six-pack stomach.”
“Is that all that’s amazing?” Cammie teased.
Eden looked at her and laughed. “Oh, hell no. Hung would be an understatement and he knows how to use every inch of it.”
“Oh, God. I want to have sex.” Cammie sat up and glanced around. “Where’s Dusty?”
Eden burst out laughing. “You’re a slut.”
“Hell, yeah, I am.”
“Are you going to have a problem leaving him?”
“I don’t know, Eden. I really don’t. I have so much fun with him, and he’s hot in bed too. I sure didn’t come here looking for a relationship.”
“Isn’t he afraid of getting fired?”
“He never said, so I guess not.”
“You both need to be careful. I know you’d hate to see him lose his job.”
“I would. I’ll talk to him about it. I don’t want him getting into trouble, but I’m not sure I could stay away from him.”
“I get it.” She stared at Ian as he walked away.
“Damn, he has a great ass, too.”
“Stop. You’re not helping me by pointing out his qualities. Point out his flaws.”
“What flaws?” Cammie laughed.
“True.” Eden smiled.
They stayed at the pool for a few hours then walked to their cabins, agreeing to get together for dinner at the lodge later. She hoped Ian would lead the camping trip tomorrow.

Tuesday morning, Ian placed the saddle on Breeze’s back and watched as guests entered the barn. He wasn’t looking forward to seeing Eden, but yet, he was. When he saw her and Cammie enter, his heart hit his stomach. Was it possible to have strong feelings for her so fast? He never let a female guest get to him, but she had. All she had to do was look at him with those green eyes, and he was a goner.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her as she walked to a horse and mounted it. She looked around and her eyes met his. They stared at each other until she glanced away from him. He blew out a breath, mounted his horse, and placed his forearms on the saddle horn to watch everyone, and help if needed.
He sighed with relief when he saw Bonnie get on a horse by herself, then frowned. She sure learned fast. Had she been conning him?
“If everyone is ready, we’ll move out,” Chris told them. “This is an overnight trip. It won’t take us long to get there. If you’ve been on this before, you’ll know what’s expected. Tents and blankets are in the saddle rolls. You’ll need them. Let’s go. Single file.”
Ian watched Chip lead the group out and noticed that Eden was at the front of the line. Heknew she did that to stay away from him. Damn it. He wanted her again, but was it worth losing his job over? He didn’t think so.
As he rode out of the barn, he noticed Bonnie right in front of him. He shook his head. He was going to have to do as Chip suggested. Be cruel to be kind. There was no way anything could or would happen between them. He did his best to ignore her, hoping she’d take a hint.
“It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” she asked him.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Bonnie, please.”
Ian nodded but didn’t say anything. Maybe if he didn’t speak, she’d move on to someone else. He hoped so, anyway.
