Chapter Three

Taking Rose home with him had meant she couldn’t run out on him again. But it also meant she was sleeping just down the hall from him, and that was a distraction Cabe hadn’t been prepared for. The fucking fantasies were driving him nuts. There was no escaping her. Three days running, he’d gotten up and out early, but she’d been waiting for him at lunchtime.

Today, though she was completely dressed, she looked tousled and sexy, and all he could think about as soon as he laid eyes on her was figuring out a way to get her back upstairs and into his bed. He saw her, and he remembered the sweet, hot feel of her body beneath his when she’d pulled him into the swimming hole, when he’d taken her into his arms on Auntie Dee’s porch three nights ago. Hell, just hearing one of his brothers or the housekeeper mention her name had heat blasting through him.

Out of sheer desperation, he’d suggested she ride out with him in the pickup that afternoon to check on a watering trough. Surely that had to be about as unsexy as ranch work went.

Still, he was proud of his herd, and the animals needed their water. He had the best fucking beef cattle in the state. Select—that was the only way to make any money at it—and even then, it was a break-even proposition at best.

“We get to the trough, you follow the rules,” he cautioned. She might have him hotter than hell, but he knew what she was like. When she looked at him, all sweet innocence, he added, “I mean it, Rose. No games.”

“Sure.” Her hand darted out and flicked the radio on.

He covered her fingers with his. “Tell me I’m not going to regret this.”

“I can follow the rules.” When he shook his head and smiled, she repeated, “I can.”

“You never met a rule you didn’t want to break, Rose.”

“I was a kid,” she protested.

“You were eighteen. Old enough to know better. Remember that time you took the truck out into the foothills and camped out in the truck bed for two days? You had a bonfire going when I showed up, and the only food you had were marshmallows and beer. And what about the time you toilet papered my barn? You toilet papered my orchard,” he continued. “If I posted a no trespassing sign, you’d be sitting just beyond it in a lawn chair, Rose.”

“Just once,” she muttered, her fingers twitching in his hold.

“You cemented my saddle to the tack room wall and I woke up one morning and you were all sleeping in the cattle chute,” he continued ruthlessly. “Tell me how that is following the rules.”

“Those were pranks,” she protested.

“I discovered you in the cattle chute when I pulled up with a load of bulls,” he continued. “What do you think would have happened if I’d unloaded directly into the chute, Rose?”

“You didn’t.” She pulled against his hold and, this time, he let her go.
