Chapter Nine

Ethan stood in the center of the fifty-stall barn, each one filled with a tail-swaying cow, wondering why in the hell he had agreed to this. He peered at Quinn dressed in a tight navy blue T-shirt, faded denims that hugged his well-developed thighs, his thick, dark hair raked away from his broad forehead, and the answer came to him.

He wanted Quinn.

Then last night, what he could remember of it, turned over in Ethan’s head. Certain events might still be foggy, but he remembered the touch of Quinn’s weathered lips against his own, the warmth of his breath racing across his cheeks when Quinn pulled away, moist and smelling of peppermint gum. Ethan exhaled, watching Quinn out of the corner of his eye, squatting to adhere the milking machine to a cow’s teats, his pants waistband riding down low and exposing his tan line. Feeling light-headed, Ethan was unsure if it was due to lack of sleep, being hung over, or getting an eyeful of milky skin heaven. He gripped a nearby metal divider so he wouldn’t fall facedown into a cow patty.

Get a fucking grip.

“Feeling rough this morning, buddy?”

Ethan opened his eyes, not realizing that he had closed them. He breathed through his nose, hoping that oxygen would rouse him, but the fresh scent of manure made his stomach do flips instead. He attempted to speak, to say anything, but the words got stuck in his throat.

“You’re looking a little green,” Quinn said. “Guess you had more than you could handle, huh?”

Ethan nodded as Quinn laid his hand on his shoulder. “You need to sit.” He cocked his head in the direction of the barn’s open sliding door. “Flip over that bucket so you can use it as a seat. I can handle this by myself for a few minutes.”

“No, no,” Ethan protested, refusing to appear to be a lightweight and layabout. Ethan needed to prove to Quinn that he could not only select the perfect shade of interior paint for the outbuildings that would eventually become retail space, but could also help with the more physical work of managing a farm. “It’s just been a while since I’ve done this.”

“Don’t be a hero on my account. I don’t feel like dragging you out of this place. I might look strong, but dead weight can be hard to shift.”

Ethan straightened to his full height, breathing through his mouth this time. “Like I said, it’s been a while.” He smiled tightly. “What’s next, boss?”

A glimmer sparked in Quinn’s eyes, and his left brow twitched seductively. “I love it when an attractive man says that to me. Makes me warm inside.”

Good God almighty. Ethan was toast.

“I mean,” he began fighting back a stutter, “what do you want me to do next… in here…. with the cows?”

Quinn winked. “I was teasing.” He squeezed Ethan’s shoulder before dropping his arm to his side. “Feel like wiping down a few udders? The ones at the end of that aisle are next up. After that we’re pretty much done.
