Chapter 14

Tawny, lost in her work, didn’t hear Lucky come into her studio until he cleared his throat. He stood there, 100 percent pure cowboy, leaning lazily against the doorjamb, watching her work.

Since that morning, he’d changed into a fresh pair of jeans, worn and fitted in all the right places, and a plaid shirt that showed off the breadth of his chest. He must’ve gone to his mom’s, where Tawny knew he kept a stack of spare clothes. His black hat dipped low, shading his mocha-brown eyes. And today he had on one of his rodeo belt buckles, drawing Tawny’s eyes to a place she didn’t want to go but went there anyway.

The man was sex in cowboy boots, and she had to force herself to look away to keep from blushing.

“Hey,” Lucky said, and Tawny walked across the room to turn down the music.

“Anything new on the case since I saw you last?” she asked.

“Not a damn thing. I thought I’d hang out here until Katie’s out of school.” He cocked his head at the project she was working on. “Whose boots are those?”

“Clay McCreedy’s.” She tried to focus on what she’d been doing, but Lucky was too much of a distraction.

“You ever gonna make me a pair?”

She waved her hand around the room “There are plenty of ready-made ones to choose from.”

“Nope. I want my own, like the bull riding ones you did.”

“Get on the list. I might be able to fit you in, in two years.” She reached for a wooden foot form in Clay’s size.

Lucky came up behind her and watched over her shoulder. She could feel his breath on her neck and she wanted to tell him to go away. Or stay. That was the problem. He made her so crazy she couldn’t think rationally when he was around.

“Could you please sit down? You’re making me nervous,” she said.

“Why’s that?” He grinned like an arrogant fool.

“Do you like people staring at you while you work?”

“As a matter of fact, I do.” All right, bad example if you’re a professional bull rider.

“Well, I don’t. And at this point in the process I can’t afford to make a mistake.”

He grabbed a chair, turned it backward, and straddled it. “I like your hair that way.”

Tawny had pinned it up so it wouldn’t get in her way while she worked. There was nothing special about it, but she said thanks anyway.

“You still don’t know when you can go back to your ranch?” she asked.

“When they finish collecting evidence. Whenever that is.” He shrugged.

“What did Jake say?”

“He’s not returning my calls. And that reporter is due in a couple of weeks. This is the worst possible time.”

Not the best advertising, Tawny agreed. “None of this is your fault, Lucky. The reporter will understand that. All he has to do is look at Nugget’s crime stats to know that what happened the other night is a fluke.”

“Instead, what’ll happen is he’ll make it out that I run with a rough crowd.
