Rancher

I wake up the next morning and feel the bed next to me. It’s empty. I raise up and look around the room, but Nova is gone.

I grab my crutches that are leaning against the nightstand and gingerly get out of bed.

After taking a quick shower, I walk into the kitchen and find her standing by the big window, looking out on the ranch. The men are pulling out of the driveway and I realize that I must have slept really late this morning.

Walking up behind her, I wrap my arms around her and pull her to me. She turns her head to the side to look up at me, and I kiss her lips. “Mornin’, honey.”

“Morning. I thought I was going to have to come and wake you up. Your new physical therapist will be here any minute.”

She kisses me once more and then goes to the oven and pulls out a plate of bacon and eggs. Setting them on the table, she tells me, “if you want breakfast, you better eat. You don’t have much time.”

As I sit down, she leans down and kisses my head, then tells me she’s going to get the living room ready.

I eat quickly, not wanting to be away from her. I walk into the living room, slide onto the table and then lean the crutches against the couch.

“Breakfast was good.”

She smiles at me. “Thanks!”

She’s laying out instruments, and I can’t resist teasing her. “So, is today’s therapist as hot as you?”

She laughs. “Oh, hot. Definitely hot.”

The doorbell rings and she smirks at me before she goes to open it. Something tells me there’s something up.

When she walks back in, I figure out why.

“Bruce, this is Rancher. Rancher, Bruce. He is your new therapist.”

The man beside her is huge, probably the size of Brick. He’s smiling at me and cracking his knuckles. Something tells me I should be scared.

“Well, I’m going to go shower,” she tells me before touching Bruce on the shoulder, “Be good to him, Bruce.”

“Uh, uh, Nova. Get back over here,” I tell her.

Later, I’m going to talk to her about touching other men, no matter how innocent it is. For now, I’m going to make sure I get that kiss before she leaves.

She walks slowly over to the table with a worried expression. “You okay?” She must see my frustration and I try to relax the strained look on my face.

“Yes, I’m fine. But I want a kiss before you leave,” I tell her, wanting to make sure that Bruce knows what’s up.

“Rancher!” she gasps.

I simply shrug my shoulders and pucker up.

She bends over and kisses me briefly before turning to go out of the room. I don’t even see it, but I know her face is blood red.

“So that’s how it is?” Bruce asks her with an approving smile on his face.

She nods her head, looks at me over her shoulder and then back at Bruce. “Yep, that’s how it is.”
