Chapter 10

Rylie put on a pair of small gold hoop earrings, spritzed on her vanilla musk perfume, and then checked her appearance in the mirror. She rarely wore makeup, but wondered if today she should make an exception considering how she looked—like she was nervous or something. Her cheeks were so pale it made her freckles stand out across her nose.

What the hell, she might as well go for it. She settled for dusting a bronze blush on her cheekbones, a light coat of brown mascara, and lipstick in a burnt-cinnamon shade. And, why not?—a little sable liner along her lashes, just like the Avon lady had shown her.

Frowning at her reflection, Rylie smoothed the skirt of the strapless black dress that came to mid-thigh. It wasn’t an expensive dress, but it had a classic look that supposedly made it appropriate for any occasion. Truth be told, she didn’t give a damn about that—she just hoped that it would make Clay so out of his mind with lust that he’d want her as soon as he saw her.

It had been almost a week since she’d seen Clay, and she was regretting agreeing to go with him to the mayor’s dinner. She wanted him so badly she didn’t think she could wait until the dinner was over.

Her frown turned into a grin as she thought about how much fun it would be to find a secluded corner in the mayor’s house, and tease Clay right there. With all their dirty talk on the phone every night this week, she was so hot for him she’d probably jump him the moment he arrived. She almost wished that tomorrow she didn’t have to go to Skylar and Zack’s reception. Clay had agreed to go with her, but right now she wanted him all to herself so that she could enjoy his body.

Rylie grabbed her black beaded handbag, tossed in the lipstick, and walked through the quiet house, wondering where it was that Levi had been going off to every night. He must have started working some kind of side job that he wasn’t telling her about. How else could he have afforded the water heater? And why would he be so secretive about what he was doing?

When she reached the window that looked out onto the front yard, she pushed the curtain aside and peered through the clouded pane and into the night. A pair of headlights cut through the darkness, and headed up the dirt road to her ranch house. Her hand automatically went to her ear and she pulled at the gold earring.

Clay. Rylie held her purse tight to her belly with one hand, as if it could calm the sudden flutter there, and stepped back from the window. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

He’s just a man. Nothing special.

The roar of a truck’s engine came closer. She remained still, almost unable to move while she listened to the sound of gravel crunching under big tires... the engine cutting off.
