Staying out of Josie’s way was easier said than done, Blake realized, as he worked on the screaming pipes in the bathroom two afternoons later. The small farmhouse made for tight quarters, and thanks to the weather, escaping out doors was not an option. He retrieved one of the washers from the items he’d found in the toolshed that morning before Josie had convinced him to come back inside.

Convinced?

Hah! For a soft-spoken woman with shy eyes, the lady could give lessons in persuasion techniques. She hadn’t an gued. She hadn’t pleaded or even threatened him. She’d simply zeroed in on one of his major weaknesses—the fact that he felt responsible for the twins. By the time she’d finished pointing this out to him, in that oh-so-reasonable tone of hers the precarious fate that awaited the twins should something happen to him, he’d been ready to take a horsewhip to him self. His need to put distance between himself and Josie had been no match to his sense of obligation for the twins. As a result, he’d been stuck in the too-small house with the too tempting Josie all morning, and he had been engaged in a battle with his hormones ever since.

Ignoring her shy glances and the awareness pulsing be tween them had not been easy. But for the most part, he‘ succeeded. Thanks to fix-up jobs like this one, he had been able to escape for a little while and not think about Josie. He hadn’t thought about the sweetness and passion he’d tasted in her kisses, or about how soft and inviting her body had felt, or about how much he wanted her. He slid the washe into place along the pipe joint and sighed. At least he’d man aged not to think about her all the time, he told himself. Then he remembered the reason he’d gone outside this morning in the first place.

Face it, pal. When you came out of the bathroom and saw Josie with the baby nestled against her breast, the rain and cold temperatures were your only hope of cooling the hunger she set off in you.

Recalling the scene brought back vivid reminders of the previous night—of lying in the dark on the couch unable to deep, seeing Josie slip out of her bedroom and head down he hall to the bathroom. Who’d have thought that beneath he lady’s no-nonsense, practical demeanor lurked the soul of a temptress? Who would have thought that the same Josie who didn’t wear anything but old jeans and drab shirts, would sleep in a long, silky nightgown the color of a summer sky? Or that the body the gown covered would be so ripe with womanly curves? And who’d have thought that the black hair she wore in such a tame braid most of the time ctually hid a mass of thick midnight curls that fell all the way to her waist? He’d been rock hard in an instant, and had pent the rest of the night lying awake, thinking about her in hat bed alone and wishing he could join her there.
