CHAPTER 14

Vince wondered what the hell he’d gotten himself into. He’d allowed Georgie’s intense loyalty to her town to override his better judgment, and now he’d given his word that he’d do this thing. On top of that questionable decision, he’d agreed to behave like a gentleman at all times. Ida was paying him well, but it wasn’t nearly enough to compensate him for extreme sexual frustration.

Watching Georgie’s fingers flying over the keys as she took notes on her little computer taunted him with how those nimble fingers could work magic on his naked body. She’d never see that naked body, though, let alone touch it. He’d given his word on that, too. He might be a rogue in many ways, but once he promised something, he kept that promise.

Consequently he avoided promises in general, and he’d just made two of them in the space of five minutes. Apparently being around Georgie caused him to become temporarily insane. But as he reviewed the course of events, he realized he couldn’t have chosen differently.

Once he’d presented his idea to the council, he’d set the wheels in motion. If he had it to do over again, would he keep his mouth shut? Probably not. He didn’t love this town the way Georgie did. He doubted anyone loved this town the way she did. But he hated to see people floundering when he had a possible solution to their troubles. If he’d stayed silent and driven away tomorrow without saying a word about overnight trail rides to see the wild horses, the boarded-up town would have haunted him. Georgie’s futile struggle to save it would have haunted him.

So here he was, watching her type and longing to kiss her and invite her up to his room again. He ached for this woman in a way he’d never ached for anyone. Stupid, stupid, stupid. He was about to spend six months in hell.

She glanced up from her computer. “Sadie’s doesn’t have Internet access or else I’d start searching for horses right now. I could do it on my phone, but we need to look at pictures, right?”

“Right.” He was so busy noticing how her lashes framed her deep brown eyes that he barely came up with the right response.

“It’s better to do that on the computer. How about we set a time for you to come over to the store? I have Wi-Fi there and we can browse to our hearts’ content.”

To her heart’s content, maybe, but he didn’t think his heart would be content for some time. “Okay. When do you want me there?”

“Let’s say nine thirty. I don’t have many shoppers then, which is why I think I can shorten the hours, no problem. I’m thinking ten to three for the new store hours. People here are all retired. They don’t need me staying open any longer than that.”

“Guess not.” Her mouth was perfect, absolutely perfect. He’d thought so all along, but after kissing her yesterday evening, he knew for sure that
