“I know that. I just, uh, I fucked this up, and I’m sorry. You’re stunning—you’re hot, actually—hot as fuck and extremely se—”

“It’s okay, Ranger, really.” I hold out my hand and place it against his chest. He’s clearly exasperated. “You’re confused that you want to fuck me. I get it.”

His eyes practically bug out of his head and he lets out a loud laugh as his head falls back. “You’re something else, you know that?” He takes a step closer to me, his hand running through his hair again as his smile fades and his eyes darken. Gone is that fumbling and embarrassed man from a moment ago.

“Yeah, I’ve heard that a time or two.” I chew my bottom lip.

“Now that we’ve cleared the air, mind getting your sexy ass in that car and moving it so I can get the hell out of here?”

“You mean now that we’ve established that you want to tap this sexy ass?” I tease, pushing the limits.

He reaches around me to open the door of my car, his crotch brushing against my ass as he spins me around and ushers me down into the seat.

“You really are a disobedient woman, aren’t you?” He clutches the edge of my door as he leans down. Our flirting has never gone this far . . . he’s never let it. “Someone should teach you a lesson someday in how to behave.”

Before I can respond, he pushes off the door and walks toward the barn.

“I’d love to see you try,” I say toward him as I lean out the window.

He stops in his tracks, turning back around and walking toward my car. My belly feels like a million butterflies are attempting to take flight as he slowly closes the distance between us again. He leans down, that smirk back on his face as he lowers his head down to mine. He drags his eyes leisurely over my body, finally settling them on mine.

“Honey, you couldn’t handle the lessons I’d love to teach you.”

RANGER

“Fuck me,” I groan as I rip the barn door open harder than necessary. I thought that woman was a temptationbeforeI saw her in a bikini! Now, whenever I close my eyes, I don’t know how I’m going to see anything other than her in that goddamn string.

I climb onto the tractor and slowly drive it out of the barn. I keep my gaze forward, hoping she scurried her sweet little ass back to the pool already.

“Don’t work too hard!”

I look to my right to see Dolly waving at me, her bright yellow swimsuit calling to me like a siren.

Dammit. No such luck.

I tip my hat toward her, telling myself to look away when she spins on her sandal and turns to walk back toward the house. But I don’t. I watch her full hips sway, her perky ass cheeks bouncing with the movement, causing my cock to stiffen like I’m 14 years old again. I swear she’s exaggerating her movements, then just before she reaches the edge of the house, she glances over her shoulder at me quickly, a smile on her lips before she disappears around the corner.

“What the fuck?” I shake my head as if that will loosen the images now burned into my brain. I can’t keep the smile off my face as I drive the tractor down the road, back toward the main barn.

For the first time since I’ve known her, the guilt that usually instantly plagues me when I steal a glance or allow a thought to linger longer than it should isn’t there. For the first time, I truly wanted the moment between us to turn into something more. I let myself imagine what would’ve happened if I’d kissed her—if I would’ve been able to stop myself after a single taste. If she would’ve let me pull her into the barn so I could trail my tongue down to her tits. I wonder what color her nipples are. How she’d sound if I bit down on one of them.

“You okay, man?”

“Huh?” I glance down at Teller, one of our ranch hands, who’s staring up at me sitting on the parked tractor. “Oh, yeah, sorry, just lost in thought.”

“Must have been a good daydream.” He laughs as I climb down. “Who is she?”

“Nah, nothing like that, just preoccupied with work,” I say before changing the subject quickly. “I need you to pull the two long trailers up front here with this tractor. When Tyler gets back, we’ll be hooking them up to the Super Dutys and heading over to pick up some horses. We’re going to need you, Carl, Axel, and Logan to help us unload them when we get back.”

“Got it, boss.” He tips his hat, climbing up into the tractor before maneuvering it over to the trailers.

By the time the sun has set and I’m finished with the workday, I’m beat. Pretty typical for life on a ranch. I let the almost-too-hot water of the shower run over my shoulders and down my back as I close my eyes, the steam billowing around me.

I’ve thought of nothing but Dolly the entire day. Her flirty little grin that was begging me to push the limits. Her coy comments that she has to know drive me wild.

I shut off the shower and grab my towel, drying myself before slipping on pajama bottoms and heading to the kitchen to find something to eat.
