Chapter Ten

Georgia stared out at the countryside. Cows and sheep dotted the hillsides like little commas with their heads down, and a weak sun filtered through a gray sky. At least it wasn’t raining. They’d slowed for a passing car, tractor, and a herd of cows. Callum nodded to the motorists, who nodded back, then stopped to chat with Leonard while he led his cows across the road.

“It’s nice that you do this,” Georgia said when they got back on the road, “but I don’t see how it has anything to do with my plans for your hotel.”

“Today is my Meals on Wheels run day. There are some people I want you to meet.”

The meals were in huge canvas containers inside plastic tubs, with lids even Delilah couldn’t chew through. The goat shoved her head out the back window instead of trying to make trouble, seeming to enjoy the wind in her face.

Callum had sideswiped her earlier. Sure, she’d ogled him in his sleep like a stalker, but holy hell the man was built. What she’d expected under the layers of clothes had proven her assumption correct: Callum MacGregor indeed pulled trees from mountains. Ripped shoulders with cords that stood out. Silky skin covered his body. But her gaze had drifted down to his stomach. Muscle stacked upon muscle greeted her, and her mouth had dropped open at the line of dark hair that snaked down to below his pajama pants where he’d been very much awake.

She’d heated like a furnace from the inside out. She knew about males and human biology, and for guys it was a morning thing. But to say the man was built… She let her mind wander. She’d gripped the doorframe harder to stop herself walking across the floor, straddling him, and kissing him awake before she draped herself over his body and whispered take me. She knew she’d sound all guttural, and like a cat in heat. So she’d tightened her thighs, gripped the doorframe hard enough that a splinter had worked into her finger. Reality had kicked in at that point, and she’d fled like the stalker she was, staring at the poor man who was asleep.

Ugh.

“Penny for your thoughts?” Callum asked over the jaunty sound of trumpets coming from the Jeep’s sound system.

Ah, no. No. No. No.

If she turned and faced him, surely he’d see the lust in her eyes, and what her mom would say was her “sexy aura.” She squirmed at the pulse that had started a slow, steady beat between her legs.

She pulled her hair over one shoulder. “What’s with the trumpets and classical music?”

“I find it soothing or invigorating, depending on my mood. Always have.”

That’s not all that’s invigorating. Her cheeks heated and she kept her face firmly turned away.

“Want to tell me what’s really on your mind?”

Nope, not looking. She turned her head. “That’s what was on my mind,” she lied.

“You’re a shite liar.” An amused smile was on his face.

Her eyebrows arched upward. “Well, that’s rude. A girl doesn’t share everything that’s on her mind.
