Chapter 15

They took a shortcut home, which was more arduous and kept Tucker behind Copper as she and Ranger picked out a trail through steep declines and thickets of brambly brush. Tucker had to concentrate on keeping in the saddle, ducking low limbs, and sweet-talking Hauler to keep pace with the more adventurous Ranger.

The afternoon was warm, but had begun to cool toward twilight by the time the ground leveled and Tucker could nudge Hauler even with Ranger.

“Are we going to make it to the cabin before nightfall?”

Copper nodded. “We’re almost there.” Her eyes slid sideways. “How many women have you bedded?”

Tucker inched back his head to give her a thorough once-over. “Beg your pardon, ma’am?”

Copper faced front, her chin angled up and out. “You said you’d had enough,” she reminded him. “How many is enough?”

He laughed, then sobered when he realized he’d have to fashion some kind of answer. “A few. I’ve bedded a few.” His frown deepened as he swung his gaze around to her. “But not lately.”

She bit her lower lip to deny a grin, but her eyes sparkled with mischief.

“That’s funny to you, huh?”

Copper shook her head. “It’s just the way you said it.” Her dancing, dark eyes laughed at him. “Like it’s my fault.” Her smile won out, dazzling him.

He laughed, conceding the point.

“None of the women complained?”

“Complained? Hell, no.” His male pride flinched at such a thought, then one corner of his mouth lifted. “A few begged.”

“Begged …” Worry lined her forehead. “Begged for what?”

“For more, of course.” The grin spread across his face.

“Oh, you pompous pig!” She tipped her head back and laughed at the sky.

Tucker’s gaze traveled the length of her throat to the swell of her breasts. He could taste her on his tongue and in his mouth.

Her laughter dwindled to a chuckle, then she snuffed it out altogether. “Serious now. You didn’t hurt any of these women? You’re sure you didn’t? Would they have had the courage to tell you if you brought them pain? And where would you find so many women who would bed with you and have you ruin them for other men?”

“Whoa, whoa! One question at a time.” The mule slowed and Tucker planted his heels in Hauler’s sides. “Not you, lazy butt. I wasn’t talking to you. Get up there. Feed and water are on up ahead.” He returned his attention to Copper, who held Valor against her shoulder. She patted the baby’s back, helping to relieve the build-up of air in Valor’s stomach. “Believe it or not, some women don’t deny themselves pleasure. Of course there are those who charge for their gifts. I’ve spent a few dollars on them.”

“Whores.”

“Ladies of the evening, yes. And no, I didn’t hurt any of them,” Tucker said. “My mama raised a gentleman, you know, not a rutting ram. I do believe they would have told me if they weren’t pleased. At the very least, they wouldn’t have asked for seconds.” He sent her a wicked grin. “Some even asked for thirds.
