Three weeks later, Eva sat in the stands at the Deadwood rodeo. Sitting with the crowd instead of getting ready to ride crushed her soul. Although her leg was healing really well, she hadn’t been cleared to ride yet. At least it didn’t hurt anymore.

“Eva! I wasn’t sure you’d be able to make it,” Mitch said. “How’s the leg?”

“Still attached.”

“That’s a good sign. Are you riding in Preston next week?”

“If my doctor ever gets around to clearing me, I will be. I don’t know yet.”

“Take it easy until you get the go-ahead. You don’t want to end up worse off in the long run.”

“Have you seen Xavier?” she asked.

“Not yet. I recon he’s back there sweet talkin’ either a bull, or one of the girls.”

Her gut clenched. She’d only spoken to Xavier a handful of times since the night they’d spent the night in her hotel room. She didn’t have any claim over him, but that didn’t stop her bear from huffing indignantly.

“I’ve got to head back. First rider’s about to go.”

“Take care.”

After Mitch left, she considered trying to find Xavier, but the prospect of seeing him chatting up another woman sent her belly into a spin. She knew better than to think about him as anything other than a friend. So what if he’d made her see stars with his perfect hands. And the bear gift? It didn’t mean anything. Not really. Friends gave each other gifts all the time.

She shifted against the cold metal bleachers. Flanked by families, she couldn’t help but feel completely alone. She traveled so much that it was almost impossible for her to make real friends outside of the circuit. That made her friendship with Xavier even more valuable. Messing it up over a night of hot sex wasn’t worth it. But she couldn’t stop thinking about the hard plane of his abs and the rippling muscles in his arms.

When he stepped into the bucking shoot area, her breath caught in her throat. A black Stetson barely contained his wild black hair. In addition to his signature smirk, he wore a perpetual five o’clock shadow. She longed to run her fingers across those whiskers.

She shoved her hands under her butt and sat on them, as if to remind herself to keep her hands to herself.

The bucking shoot opened. Bull and rider spilled out in a flurry of bucking glory. Xavier clung to the raging beast. It did everything in it’s power to dislodge him, but didn’t succeed.

As the buzzer blasted through the stands, she let out a scream of happiness. He’d totally nailed the ride.

He sauntered across the ring toward the fence. When he reached it, he glanced up into the stands. His hazel eyes met hers. A shiver of desire shot straight to her sex. God, he could seduce her with just a look.

Several fans stopped him as he made his way through the attendees toward her. The slight kick of her heart quickened with every step. By the time he reached her, it thundered.
