Upstairs Lilah had given herself a stern talking to about considering this to be more than a friendly invitation to dinner. But when Easton paused to place a hand on the small of her back and guide her down the porch steps, that small flutter inside her grew.

They took a couple steps and a shout brought her head up. She drank in the scene in a heartbeat—the horse galloping hell-bent across land it never got to run unless it jumped the fence like this one was prone to do. And her brother Cody sprinting after it, rope in hand.

“Damn, Ranger’s gotten out again. That horse’ll be the death of Cody,” she cried.

Easton pulled away from her and ran to his truck. She hadn’t known such a big man could move so fast, but he was a blur when he grabbed a coil of rope from the back and sprinted off after the horse.

Lilah clapped a hand over her mouth as she looked on at the scene. Easton shouted for Cody to head around his flank and push him Easton’s way. When the horse cut right, Easton tossed the lasso and it landed squarely over its head.

With one throw.

That never happened with Ranger.

Easton jerked the rope and dug in his heels, but still Ranger dragged him a good ten feet before Cody ran up and forced him to a stop.

Lilah hurried to them, panting after holding her breath for so long as she watched. Easton shot her a wry grin. “Wish my cousins and brother had been here to see that. I got more practice with ropin’ than I would have liked this morning.”

“Thanks for your help, Dalton,” Cody said, catching the horse’s halter to get him moving back to the barn.

Easton wiped the dust off his jeans. “Just in the right place at the right time.”

She caught herself smiling at him and quickly turned her gaze away. “Do you want to wash up before we go?”

His intense stare pinned her to the ground. She couldn’t even move a toe if she tried. “Maybe I like bein’ a little dirty,” he said, voice low and rough.

Her stomach dipped and heated. She opened her mouth but snapped it shut. What to even say to that?

“Well then.” She tilted her head toward the truck. The faster they got to the Daltons’ ranch, the sooner she would be surrounded by enough people to distract her from Easton’s gaze.

They started walking toward the truck, and she found the skin of her lower back prickling, almost begging for Easton to put his hand there again. But he didn’t, just opened the passenger door for her and closed it when she’d climbed in.

Once he was seated behind the wheel, they turned to each other. He stared at her lips, and she wet them nervously. No, she was not thinking of his kisses, the way his hot tongue ruled her mouth.

“Tonight the maze is open to the public,” she said.

“That’s right.” He made no move to start the engine.
