CHAPTER FIVE

IT WAS HARD for Nick to feel too bad over a broken man rule when the rest of him felt so darn good. Even harder to feel bad when he was next to Lindsay in her bed—a place she’d spent not only the night before but most of Saturday morning.

Since it was already 10:00 a.m., they’d eventually have to get up, but Nick wasn’t pushing it. They’d worn themselves out with the sex, and he was considering seeing just how much more wearing out they could do since neither of them would have to be back at work until Monday morning.

He silently groaned at the thought of the weekend being over. Not just because he and Lindsay wouldn’t be able to stay in bed but also because he’d have to answer a question or two. After all, they had left the Longhorn Bar without so much as a goodbye. She’d even left her purse there. Someone would have realized that, and while it was almost certainly safe, plenty of people could have noticed when he’d kissed Lindsay on the back porch. Or the way they’d made a run through the rain to his truck and then driven off.

Yeah, there’d be questions all right.

From the other hands. And eventually from Carol Ann when word reached her. Before that, though, Nick needed to figure out some things for himself just so he stood a chance of answering those questions.

Since that reminder was now fixed in his head, it meant he wouldn’t be going back to sleep. Nick eased from the bed, gathering up his clothes—at least the ones he could find—and he headed to the shower. Not the one in the master bedroom where Lindsay was still sacked out. He didn’t want to wake her, so he used the guest bathroom across the hall. After he was done, he pulled on his jeans and went in search of coffee. And he found it.

Found Lindsay, too.

She was in the kitchen, her back to him as it had been that night when he’d seen her in the bunkhouse. Except there were no jeans this time. She was wearing a bulky T-shirt and nothing else. He got a nice view of that “nothing else” when she reached into the cabinet for cups, and he saw her bare butt.

Nick found himself going to her. She turned, already smiling, and as if it were something they’d been doing for years, she pulled him into her arms. Any kiss from her was a good one, but a smiling kiss had some extra kick to it.

“How’d your bruised ribs hold up to our marathon of sex?” she asked.

“Just fine. Didn’t even notice the pain.” But he sure as heck noticed her. He pulled her back to him and brushed his mouth on the top of her head. “Just how much of a monkey wrench will this put in your life?”

She eased back, met his gaze. “Big enough, depending on how my sister handles it.” Lindsay paused, and the smile returned.
