Jenny was singing as she idly folded laundry. She seemed to be singing a lot more lately. She knew it had to do with how things had been going with Camp, once he’d finally gotten past her defenses. She’d wanted to say yes when he’d asked her out so many times before, but Andrew required all of her extra time and she’d not thought it fair to subject another person to her endless problems.

Jenny had been delighted to see Camp at the lounge. As far as she knew, she’d never performed for friends or coworkers. She wondered how he knew she’d be there, but he seemed dead set on keeping that to himself. His words after she’d finished her set had meant everything. Had he really said, You are beautiful, and my God, when you sing, you are celestial? She never wanted to forget that—celestial. Then he’d taken her back to his childhood home and extracted her secrets, secrets she didn’t even want to face herself. Lord, how he’d looked standing at the end of the bed, his gaze intense on her and the riding crop loose in his hands. He’d looked dangerous. And powerful. And hot.

His tight trousers had hung low on his taut, muscled, and veined body. He’d burned in his intensity, and his eyes had become a vortex in a storm. That night she actually thought it might be possible to catch fire. The ignition point would have been her burning sex. It was burning for him now.

She’d finally agreed to let Camp meet Andrew. She’d done it before. But only a couple of times. He’d met Richard. But that hadn’t turned out well for any of them.

She’d met Richard when she was in the air force. Three years later, they’d maintained their relationship long distance while he was overseas. When he returned, Jenny had been twenty-one and very much in love. But Andrew hated Richard. They’d tried to introduce Andrew to the idea of becoming a family and slowly Richard had started coming around more, but Andrew had become increasingly more aggressive toward him. One morning Richard went out to his car to find that Andrew had taken a hammer to it. It had been so bad his insurance company declared the car a total loss. Andrew had been only eleven. Jenny couldn’t expect Richard to stay around after that.

She’d already decided that if Andrew didn’t warm to Camp, she’d have to let him go, but her mind couldn’t zero in on what to do if Andrew were to like Camp. Where would they be then? It was probably nothing to worry about because she was ninety-nine percent sure Andrew would never warm to any man.

Camp was running a brush through his hair. He’d just showered and was about to go downstairs to make sure everything was just as he wanted it. It had taken several weeks for Camp to talk Jenny into letting him meet Andrew. Today was the day.

When Camp found out Andrew loved horses, he contacted his father.
