It was mid morning when Trace drove into Kalli's yard and drew to a stop beside the kitchen door. He had taken care of a few things at his own place, letting Kalli sleep in. When he opened the screen door to the kitchen, he was startled to see her standing by the sink, washing dishes. She was balanced on a pair of old crutches, her long legs bare and tanned beneath an indecently skimpy pair of white shorts. Her yellow cotton shirt was fitted, showing every delectable curve even more than the T- shirts she slept in. He stopped dead, staring at her.

She turned and smiled at him. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, her dark hair tied back in a thick ponytail.

"You must have slept in," she said.

"I thought I'd leave that to you. How long have you been up?"

"For ages. Charlie came by to check on me, but I was already up and dressed, so get that scowl off your face. He found these crutches for me. Apparently some cowboy a few years back broke his leg and used them. They had to be adjusted for me, of course."

Her sunny smile warmed him. He stood in the doorway and watched her talk, watched the animation in her face. Except for the evidence of the crutches and the bandage around her ankle, she looked as fresh and fine as anyone he'd ever seen.

Tossing his hat on the rack, he crossed the floor to pour himself a cup of coffee. He leaned against the counter while he sipped.

"So you ate?"

"Yes, just finishing cleaning up. What do you have planned to teach me today?"

"The ranch is late in its spring roundup. We'll discuss that." He took a sip of the hot coffee, his eyes drawn again to her shapely legs. He remembered how silky her skin had felt beneath his fingers, how he'd like to feel those tanned legs wrapped around him, holding him tightly against her. Closing his eyes, he forced himself to look away, think about the work yet to be done.

"Shall we use the office?" she asked brightly, a flood of sensations shimmering at his look. She licked her lips, wishing he'd kissed her good morning. Wishing for a lot of things that had nothing to do with learning to run a ranch.

"Yeah, the office is fine." Without waiting for her, he pushed away from the counter and headed down the hall.

By the time Kalli reached the room her uncle had used as the ranch office, Trace was sitting behind the desk, looking at her stacks of bills and reports on the desk.

"How far along are you?"

"I'm up to April," she replied, sinking into one of the comfortable chairs across from the desk. Pushing the other one around, she rested her injured ankle on it.

"How's the ankle?" he asked, still studying the piles she'd made when organizing all the material for inputting into the computer, afraid if he looked at those silky legs again he'd forget why he'd come.
