Chapter Twelve

Geneva stayed crouched down where she was. Calhoun’s voice floated on the air. She could only make out a few words of the conversation, but it was clear that he knew the men.

“Thanks for letting me know,” she heard him say, and listened as the two men rode off before she stood and walked back into the clearing.

Calhoun was putting his rifle into his scabbard on his horse when she came out of the woods. She caught a glimpse of two riders through the pines before they disappeared from view.

“Who were those men?” she asked, sounding breathless from the kiss right before the surprise of horseback riders approaching.

He didn’t answer right away. Nothing new there. She still had the taste of him on her lips, or she would have thought she’d dreamed the kiss. “Who were those men?” she asked again.

He stopped what he was doing, let out a sigh and turned. “They work for me. They rode over to tell me about the three men who came through their camp this morning. Now, could we please get moving?” He didn’t wait for an answer as he took the puppy from her and swung up into the saddle.

“I guess this means we aren’t going to talk about the kiss,” she said as she started to walk back to her horse. She smiled to herself as she heard him swear under his breath. She’d gotten under his skin in more ways than one.

But then he’d done the same to her.

As she led her horse over to a stump, she mounted it as if she’d done this a million times. Her body felt as if she had. She touched her tongue to her upper lip, remembering the kiss, remembering the urgency in him as he’d pulled her against him. His arm had locked her in place with a strength that had made her dizzy. That woman he’d kissed and who’d kissed him back felt as if it had been someone else. She barely remembered that other Geneva Carrington Beck, the one who was still married to Lucian.

Once in the saddle and trailing up the mountain behind Calhoun, she looked at his broad back astride the horse and warned herself to be careful. She’d never met a man like this one. He wasn’t the kind of man a woman dallied with, she told herself. That kiss proved it.

As she rode after him and the packhorses, she realized that whatever his men had told him, it had the outfitter worried and moving faster than he had before.
