He had no clue what tonight—or every other night for the next four weeks—would bring.

It’d certainly be a challenge. He’d already moved his things in earlier that morning. He’d taken a quick stroll through the rooms, but not the one at the far end of the hall—the nursery.

Walking back to his truck, he jumped in the seat and started the engine, pulling out.

He wouldn’t deny that a part of him hoped Hope would share his bed, but he knew that was overshooting reality. And sex would only get in the way.

A cowboy could hope, though.

Her scent lingered in his nostrils. Every time he closed his eyes, he remembered walking in and seeing her touching herself in his bed, and then the expression on her face when she saw him. His cock jerked alive and he shifted in the seat.

He rubbed his face and sighed. Now that he’d gotten a taste of her again, he wanted more. But no matter how much he got, he’d never be satisfied.

Sex wasn’t why he wanted Hope here at Havens. He could have a good time with any female, if that’s what he was looking for. He’d been there, done that, and he’d never digress.

He’d have to keep his emotions in check. But was that possible?

Time would tell.

Hope dropped her suitcase in the foyer at the same time she heard the familiar hymn. Following the singing, Hope popped her head around the doorway of the kitchen and spotted Delores wiping down the glass cabinets.

“Delores? What are you doing here?”

Her singing stopped. She swiveled on her heel and planted her palms against her heavy bosom. “Well, well, if it isn’t the sweetest woman I ever did lay eyes on.” Her cheerful smile made her plump cheeks redder. “Come here and give this old woman a hug.”

Hope crossed the room and stepped into the housekeeper’s warm embrace. Hope got a strong scent of pine. “I’m a little shocked to see you. Forgive me.” Hope admitted. She’d expected to have the house to herself, at least for a bit while she looked around.

“I offered to come in and give this place a sprucing so you wouldn’t have to. Tucker boy was going to have one of those cleaning businesses come in and clean, but I could only imagine the chaos.” Delores waved a hand through the air and dropped her dirty rag on the counter.

Hope swallowed. Leaning against the counter, she swept a hand across the smooth granite. “But aren’t you helping with Becca?”

Delores nodded, sending her tight silver curls bouncing. “The child is in pre-school until two-thirty. Then I’ll go and get her. There ain’t much to do over at Cash’s with the baby away all day long. I hope you don’t mind that I’m here. You probably had your mind set on how you wanted things.”

“I’m very glad to see you, Delores, and you’re always welcome here. I’m sorry I haven’t been around to visit you.”

“I understand, sweet pea.” She took Hope’s hand into her larger ones and gently squeezed.
