AS OLIVIA RODE SHOTGUN in Wyatt’s truck for the second time in two days, she thought about how everything had changed since the first time they’d shared the cab of a truck. She couldn’t remember ever getting sexual with a guy so soon after meeting him, but getting sexual didn’t mean they were headed for the altar. She’d made that clear, at least.

No question that Wyatt had to be the yummiest guy she’d ever run across, though. He was clean-shaven again and had that mint scent going on. When he’d put on the cowboy hat she’d nearly swooned with lust.

“Want the windows down or up?” Wyatt asked.

“Down is fine.”

“Good.” He lowered both windows with the buttons on the driver’s side. “Didn’t want to cause a hair issue with the wind.”

“I’m not that focused on my hair. I just don’t like hats.”

“Or hat hair,” he said with a grin.

“I’m a beautician. I practically grew up in a salon. I think about these things.”

“I know. I’m just teasing you. You agreed to go camping with me sometime, so I know you can’t be totally a girly-girl.”

“I’m pretty much a girly-girl, but I realize I’m not in Pittsburgh anymore.”

“So what was so important about moving out here for your dad, anyway? It sounds like Pittsburgh was home.”

“It was, but my dad loves old Western movies, has a whole library of them. From the time I was a little kid, he always said if he ever came into money he’d move out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. So the money arrived and here we are.”

“And is he happy with the move?”

“Delirious.” Olivia smiled fondly as she thought about how happy her father was these days. “When he’s not working in his lab, he sits out on his front porch swing and stares at the mountains.”

“What about the cowboy thing? Did he take up riding or get all duded up?”

“No. Says he’s too old to start learning to ride and he really doesn’t care about clothes. Trust me on that one. Just being here seems to be enough.” She glanced over at him. “Why?”

“I’m sort of fascinated by his story, I guess. And if this is what he wanted, I’m glad his razor blade invention gave it to him. I’m also glad he talked you into coming along.”

“Once I knew he was completely serious, I couldn’t imagine sending him out here by himself. Besides, as I said, he’d watched cowboy movies for all those years, so for me, cowboys were heroes.”

“So you came out to find yourself a cowboy?”

“Not exactly. Maybe more to window-shop.”

“How’s that working out for you?”

She reached over and ran a hand over his denim-covered thigh, causing the muscles to contract under her palm.

He sucked in a breath.

“So far, so good.” Wow, he was pure dynamite. Touching him sent flames licking through her.

“Better cut that out if you want to actually make it to the sacred site.” His voice roughened. “I’ve already got sex on the brain.”

“I have sex on the brain, too.” She gave his thigh a squeeze and moved her hand.
