Chapter 7

Rhett had never been a morning person, but that didn’t stop him from waking up early for the second day in a row and driving up to the Saddleback Ranch. The more he drove the dirt roads to Cassie’s place, the more he understood why she’d opted for that old truck which had served as the setting for their impromptu first date.

Today he’d come prepared, wearing jeans and flannel of his own and sporting a baseball cap on his freshly washed hair. Baseball, no thank you. He’d played for junior varsity in high school but never made it past that. Football was the only sport for him. It had paid his way through college and now that he was in his late twenties, it was still paying the bills… and then some. In fact, his handsome salary had allowed him to buy his car with cash. He’d never imagined he could do something like that as he grew up the only son of a single mother working two jobs, but now here they were.

So he was good—okay, really good—at running a ball. Did that make him any more deserving of such luxury items than, say, his mom or any other blue collar worker? As spoiled as he had become since making the national league, he still made sure to give back to his mother whenever he could and whenever she’d allow it. That’s why she had a Viper of her own. After all, what good was having all that money if he couldn’t take care of the one woman who had always looked out for him? He had more than enough to have whatever fun he wanted afterwards.

He pulled up to the stables and got out of his car, but Cassie was nowhere to be found even though both horses stood impatiently in their stalls. He tromped up to the farm house and rang the doorbell.

Nothing.

He took out his phone, but remembered that he still didn’t have her damned phone number. Where could she be?

At last he found her in the barn, snuggled up in the hay next to the same cow they’d wrangled the afternoon before. He hated to wake her, especially since she really looked like she could use the sleep. But he was also pretty sure that she hadn’t meant to sleep in so late and that she’d be upset for missing the start of her work day.

He cleared his throat, and she squirmed and rearranged herself into a new sleeping position, her eyes still closed.

“Cassie?”

“Mmm,” she answered, still in sleep’s embrace and looking so sexy he almost climbed down into the hay with her.

He laughed. “Cassie,” he urged louder.

“Rhett?” she said with a dreamy sigh, proving once again that she did like him, that she did think of him the way he thought of her.

He stooped down and touched her face. “Yeah, Rhett.”

Her eyes shot open and fixed on him. She sprang up so fast that they bumped foreheads. “Oh my God, Rhett. Oh my God.
