Chapter Three

Montana stood on the back porch of Boone’s ranch house, looking out at the peaceful scene stretching to the horizon. Over the past week, he’d taken her to dinner three times. The sexual tension between them was so incendiary, she thought she might have to ask him to get the fire department to put it out. At the end of each date, he’d taken her home and left her with a kiss that scorched her right down to her toes.

“I think we have something going here,” he’d told her when he took her home the night before. “And I’m talking about more than the sex, which you have to agree was off the charts.” He’d reached across the table and stroked his thumb over her lower lip. “But I don’t want what else we could have going to get lost in that. You have no idea how fucking hard it’s been to keep my hands off you.”

“I feel the same,” she’d whispered. “How did this happen, Boone? What happened?”

He touched his mouth gently to hers for a brief moment. “At first, I thought it was nothing more than a combination of circumstances. The night we met, we were both on the ragged edge of emotion, needing something to ease that. To satisfy some internal need. And, god, we certainly did that.”

He whispered a kiss over her mouth again.

“But?” she’d asked in a low, barely audible voice.

“But when I saw you again, that day in the Sunrise Diner, it was like being hit by one of my prize bulls. It purely knocked the breath out of me.” He’d traced the line of her mouth with the tip of his tongue. “But, in the next minute, I wanted to tear off your clothes and throw you down right then and there.”

“That would have certainly livened up the diner.”

“But, sitting there, talking to you? I realized it was more than the physical. What we shared that night at The Highway Motel was a lot more than raw sex. I wanted to give it a chance to develop, and it’s been hell keeping my hands off you. I never believed in fate before, but I swear, Montana, fate definitely had a finger in this.”

“I think I have to agree with you,” she’d murmured. “I felt it, too.”

It was a good thing she had something else to occupy her mind because just being near Boone Crider sent her temperature spiking and every pulse pounding with frenzy.

Tonight, unexpectedly, he’d asked her to drive to the ranch for dinner. From the moment he’d called, she was filled with anticipation.

They’d enjoyed a leisurely meal of grilled steaks accompanied by ice-cold Lone Star beer. All the hands had obviously left for the day, unless Boone had stuffed them in a closet somewhere. Waiting for whatever came next had her nerves stretched to the limit. She only hoped she could keep herself from attacking him. Lord, what was wrong with her? From the moment she and Boone met, the air between them ignited and the heat kept climbing higher on the scale.
