Though Saturday was technically her day off, and though she hadn’t gone to bed until almost three o’clock, Molly rose to fix breakfast at the usual time. She hadn't slept well. Maybe she’d take a nap in the afternoon. In the meantime, she wanted breakfast; it didn’t prove to be that much extra trouble to prepare it for everyone.

She cooked French toast and sausage, putting everything in the oven to keep warm. The men drifted in one at a time. Billy never did show up. Nor did Josh. Molly wondered where he was. Sleeping in?

The others appreciated her efforts and thanked her.

Excited to have the rest of the day to herself, she cleaned up the kitchen and headed for the office. Turning on the computer, she pulled up the last chapter she'd worked on and reread what she’d written. It seemed flat. Sighing, she began to edit, trying to get some spark that would reach out and grab her.

But she couldn’t concentrate. Gazing out the window, she thought about all Josh had said, and suggested. Unbidden, Gillian’s voice echoed in her mind. How friendly was Josh with Gillian? Had he made arrangements with Gillian for more dates?

Where did that leave her? He had said he’d abide by her guidelines. Could she take what he had to offer and set some limits? Like, not going to bed together? She wanted love and some commitment before going that far. Yet his kisses inflamed her, set her body spinning like nothing else ever had. She longed to ruffle his hair, trace those sleek muscles, taste him again. Have the right to touch.

And if she could capture some of the feelings that spilled through her every time he came near, she’d find the spark she missed in her book.

It was time to make a decision. Did she want to live life to its fullest, or stay safe and secure as her father had taught her?

“The words won’t type themselves,” Josh said, amusement lacing his voice.

She spun around, her heart beating rapidly at the mere sight of him. He looked wonderful.

“I was thinking.”

“Yeah, I know.” He walked into the office, his loose-legged gait like poetry in motion. His eyes never left hers. “If you want to see some of the ranch, come on. I’m riding out and you can go with me.”

“Great!” Without a thought to her manuscript, she flicked off the computer and rose.

“I need to get my boots.”

“Right. I’ll meet you in the barn. Do you have a hat?”

She shook her head.

“I’ll find you one. Hurry up.”

“Did you get breakfast?” she asked as she passed him on the way to the stairs.

“Yes. Thanks for fixing it. You didn’t have to, Saturday's your day off.”

“Wasn’t much bother. I’ll be right there.” She ran up the stairs, her thoughts spinning. Josh had asked her to go with him today. She'd get to spend as much time with him as she wanted, and learn more about ranching.

Excitement spilled through her like warm wine. She could hardly wait.
