CHAPTER SEVEN

“Ms. Haines.” Kyle nodded.

And then walked right past her!

Had she just been dismissed? Grace scowled and pivoted to view the interior of the barn. Kyle squeezed Emma Jane’s shoulder at the door of the office and The Tart disappeared beyond the glass, presumably to go sharpen her claws.

Then he strolled across the wide center of the barn and disappeared around a corner.

Without a single ounce of forethought, Grace charged after him. She’d waited around, half-crazy with worry to assure herself he was okay, and he couldn’t bother to stop and talk to her? How dare he? Emma Jane had certainly gotten more than a perfunctory nod and a platitude.

She skidded around the corner, an admonishment already forming in her mouth.

It vanished as she rounded the corner into a small, enclosed area. Kyle stood at a long washbasin. Wet. Shirtless. Oh, my.

Obviously she should have thought this through a little better.

Speechless, she stared unashamedly at his bare, rippling torso as he dumped another cupful of water down it. Water streamed along the cut muscles, running in rivulets through the channels to disappear into the fabric of his jeans.

Some of it splashed on her. She was too close. And way too far.

Every ounce of saliva fled from her mouth, and she couldn’t have torn her gaze from his gorgeous body for a million dollars. She’d have paid a million dollars, if she’d had it, to stand in this spot for an eternity.

“Something else you wanted, Ms. Haines?”

She blinked and glanced up into his diamond-hard green eyes, which were currently fastened on her as he glanced over his shoulder. Busted. Again. There was no way to spin this into anything other than it was. “I didn’t know you were washing up. Sorry.”

Casually, he turned and leaned back against the long sink, arms at his side, which left that delicious panorama of naked chest right there on display. “That really didn’t answer my question, now, did it?”

He was turning her brain mushy again, because she surely would have remembered if there had been talking. “Did you ask me a question?”

His soft laugh crawled under her skin. “Well, I’m trying to figure out what it is that you’re after, Grace. Maybe I should ask a different way. Are you here to watch, or join in? Because either is fine with me.”

Her ire rushed back all at once, melding uncomfortably with the heat curling through her midsection at the suggestion. “That’s a fine way to talk after flirting with Ms. Cattle Queen.”

Kyle just raised an eyebrow. “Careful, or a man might start to think you cared whether he flirted with another woman. That’s not the case. Right?”

She crossed her arms, but those diamond-hard eyes drilled through her anyway. “Oh, you’re right. I don’t care.” Loftily, she waved off his question. “It just seems disingenuous to make time with one woman mere minutes before inviting another one to wash up.”

All at once, she had a very clear image of him dumping a cup of water over her chest and licking it off.
