Mirrors don’t lie, but you could make them fib every once in a while if you were careful. Abby turned this way and that, making sure none of the ugliness showed. A low cut pink sleep shirt would have to do. It came down long enough to cover her to the middle of her thighs. Maybe the sexy panties would serve their purpose. For ten years, she’d avoided intimacy, turned down dates and kept herself sexually cloistered away from men – especially Cade. The times she’d turned him down were the ones which hurt the most. Embarrassment and shame over how she looked below the waist had robbed her of intimacy, tenderness and love.

For a few more seconds she stood there, gathering her courage. So often Abby had tried to convince herself that her life was full enough. She had her work and her family. She had the satisfaction of knowing she’d saved those horses and she’d have saved Cade if he’d been there. Because of that day and what had happened to her and the horses, she’d decided to enter the field of veterinary medicine. Besides, animals didn’t judge. Of course, she’d never given anyone a chance to judge her—until tonight.

Cade waited. He smoothed his hand over the sheet, anticipating touching her velvet skin. Lord in heaven! She’d never know how much he wanted her. How often he’d thought about her over the years. Every time he climbed on the back of a bronc or a bull, she went through his mind. Cade wanted to stay alive for her – she was his inspiration. He’d tried to ignore it, he’d tried to explain it away…after all, he and Abby were like dynamite and fire. Anytime they were together it was explosive. Well, tonight, he was aiming for an explosion of a different variety.

He heard the bathroom door open. The bedside lamp was on, filling the room with a warm glow. Abby walked toward the bed and he felt the earth shift beneath him. Dark brown tresses flowed past her waist. A baby pink shirt clung to her, thin enough he could see those generous breasts. Cade was well aware of her figure, for she dressed in tight jeans and western shirts all the time. But he’d never been privileged to see so much of those long, gorgeous legs or her tempting cleavage. His mouth watered.

But more than that, Cade liked her. God, he really liked her as a person, and yes, as a friend. Saving his life was huge, but she’d been making his life worth living for a very long time.

Abby froze. He wasn’t saying anything. Cade was staring at her. She glanced down to make sure how she looked. Had he changed his mind? “Is something wrong?”

“No, everything’s finally right. I could look at you forever.” Was his quiet reply.

Tingles of awareness and relief sparkled over Abby’s skin. She moved another step or two and when he held out his hand, she ran the rest of the way and he caught her easily.
