Chapter Ten

Sam wasn’t a man who spent much time on regrets. If he made a mistake, he left it in the past and moved on with his life. Last night, he had made a huge mistake, but so far he hadn’t figured a way to move past it.

Instead, all he could think of was finishing what he’d started. Or more accurately, what Libby had started. He almost smiled. He wanted Libby in his bed, and not for just one night, but even thinking about it wasn’t fair to Libby. And it wasn’t fair to him.

In a few weeks’ time, Libby would return to the city. With any luck, she would be a better, happier person for the experiences she’d had on the ranch. Libby would go back to the lavish, glamorous life she’d lived in New York, and Sam would stay here on the ranch, the only place he could ever be happy.

There was no chance of a relationship, no future for the two of them.

Hell, how had the word relationship even entered his mind?

He shook his head and concentrated on cooking breakfast, which everyone waited eagerly for Libby to serve. The bacon sizzled in a giant frying pan, and next to it a pan of scrambled eggs turned a perfect fluffy yellow. There was even a batch of biscuits he’d cooked in a Dutch oven over the open flames.

A thought that reminded him of Libby, the fire last night and the terror he had felt. Sam shook it off. Accidents happened. He knew that. Still, it was Libby, and the idea of her being hurt in any way sent a ball of dread into his stomach.

“Everything ready?” Libby asked. She was surrounded by Suzy and Jordy and the rest of the guests, all wearing eager, hungry expressions.

He nodded. “You got the plates?”

“Right here.” Libby handed them over one at a time, Sam filled them, and Libby passed them around. The kids ate first, then everyone else. It took three batches in all, the last for him, Big John, and Libby—though she passed on the bacon.

The weather had been warm and would be even warmer today. As the guests wandered off to explore the area, Sam worked with Libby to clean up the breakfast dishes. Libby had barely looked at him all morning. He tried not to wonder what she was thinking, but it was impossible to do. He had promised her sex would be good between them, but he hadn’t really had a chance to show her. He hoped she at least liked the sample he had given her.

Sam inwardly smiled.

“It’s warming up,” he said as they finished drying the last metal plate and tin coffee mug and put them away. They’d already dealt with the trash, put away the leftover food and hoisted the food box into a tree. No bears in camp last night, but he sure as hell didn’t want to attract them, or more raccoons.

“You going swimming?” he asked.

Libby smiled. “Absolutely.” Was there an impish
