Chapter Ten

Jason sang along with the song on the radio as he drove down another long Texas road. He didn’t want to examine the why too closely, but he’d been in a damn good mood the past few days. Ever since Sloane had texted him congratulations on his win. That talk he’d had with himself about focusing on his work and not on the memory of how she’d felt in his arms didn’t have the lasting effect he’d intended. He’d made it through the rodeo successfully, but he hadn’t been off his horse five seconds before he’d wished she was there so he could celebrate with her.

Though it was all kinds of crazy, he’d canceled his next event in California and replaced it with yet another rodeo in Texas, near San Antonio, in the hope that he could see her again. He didn’t even mind all the extra miles of driving to get back to the Lone Star State. That alone told him he was being irrational.

But irrational felt good at the moment. It would feel even better if Sloane agreed to come see him ride. Of course, he had to ask her first.

He put off the asking until he arrived at the rodeo grounds and unloaded Oscar into the barn and parked his trailer, then again while he checked into his hotel. He knew it was procrastinating because he liked anticipating seeing her. If he asked and she declined, he was pretty damn sure his mood was going to sour.

Jason sank onto the side of his bed and resisted the sudden need to stretch out. He’d spent the night before at a crappy little motel in a town he was fairly certain wasn’t on a road map. A morgue slab had to be more comfortable than the bed he’d attempted to sleep in.

I’m getting too old for this crap.

He refused to put off the call any longer. If she said yes, he wanted to be able to spend as much time with her as possible. Ignoring how nervous he was, he hit her number. After three unanswered rings, the call went to her voice mail.

“Hey, it’s Sloane. You missed me, so leave me a message.”

The way even her recorded voice caused him to get to his feet and pace was evidence enough that he should be in California right now.

“Sloane, it’s Jason. I’m competing down near San Antonio. Thought you might like to swing by.”

Swing by? What the hell was he saying? It wasn’t as if he was asking her to pop over to the other side of Blue Falls. She could very well be too busy. Might not be interested in seeing him again.

She’d seemed interested enough to kiss him with more than a little heat.

He realized he’d left a long pause in the message. “I’ve got some extra time, so give me a call if you want to get together.”

Before he made himself sound like even more of an idiot, he hung up. That’s when he flopped back on the bed and discovered that it was every bit as soft as it looked.
