Chapter 13

"We're going on a date."

At Steen's announcement, Erin looked up from filing the last notes from the day's patients in Josie's antiquated filing cabinets. There were no electronic files here, which Erin actually found sort of refreshing. She was so accustomed to a life of gleaming medical equipment and patients worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was such a shift to be dealing with animals who simply lived with the people who owned them, animals who mattered for reasons other than as a million dollar investment. She'd spent the morning driving to assorted ranches, and the afternoon had been spent in office hours. She'd seen three large mixed-breed dogs, a Chihuahua, a gecko, and sixteen cats, the latter of which had all been owned by the same woman. She was really hoping the cat lady wasn't a warning from the universe about what her future held now that she was divorced and hopelessly infatuated with a man who had absolutely zero interest in pursuing anything long term.

She and Steen had talked deeply over the last few days about his past and hers, but he'd continuously made it apparent that he believed their time together had to end when her stint as Josie's replacement was over. He'd erected a wall between them that she couldn't break through. She was incredibly frustrated with him. Why did he think she cared that he had been in prison? He was innocent, and she didn't need a pardon from the governor to know that.

Even his well-creased cowboy boots had clearly been polished up for the night. His jeans were low on his hips, showcasing his lean physique and his broad shoulders. He was almost clean-shaven, with a hint of whiskered shadow on his face, as if he couldn't quite eliminate it. In the short time since she'd reconnected with him, he'd already put on weight, and his stamina had improved. He was healing quickly, and he no longer looked like a man who'd almost died recently. He looked, in fact, like a dangerous predator ready to eat her up…which was a really, really tantalizing thought. She couldn't keep the anticipation from fluttering through her as she watched him lounge against the doorframe, looking so deliciously masculine that she was pretty sure he would be illegal in certain states.

Yes, indeed, there was nothing weak about him anymore. He'd been putting on serious muscle, which she knew from the last few nights in his bed, learning exactly how amazing it was to be truly desired by a man. The fact that Steen was tireless in his dedication
