CHAPTER FIFTEEN

She’d been starving while she put together a meal for the two of them; now she was having difficulty swallowing. Had she really just propositioned JC Benjamin? Not actually, but she’d hinted at their relationship heading that way because more often than not, Lynn found herself thinking about him. Thinking about running her hands over his hard-muscled body. Feeling the weight of him on her as he kissed her and stroked her and buried himself deep…

Lynn jumped up from the table and went to the sink where she filled a glass with water and gulped it down.

“You okay?”

“Um, yeah.” She didn’t turn around. “I-I burnt my tongue.” Burnt her brain cells, was more like it. Thankful the tee shirt covered the heat of her chest if not her face, she returned to her seat. She ignored JC’s quizzical look as best she could.

“Are you planning to open the stand tomorrow? I would’ve painted it had you said something.”

“You told me I could do what I wanted with it,” she said defensively. “You should’ve told me what my limits were.”

He placed a hand over the one gripping her fork tightly. “When I asked you to take over the stand I didn’t expect you to work yourself to death. I should have thought about fixing it up and done it before you ever saw it. I pictured you spending a quiet day crafting, or whatever.”

From what little he’d said, it sounded like JC’s mother and ex-wife had expected to be treated as royalty, and had been until each had left the farm, and their men, behind. Her eyes narrowed as she decided insult won. “Now, see here, James Cotton. You’ve no call to be insulting me.”

“Insulting you? You call me by my full name, which is an insult in itself, and after I tell you how wonderful you are. What the hell’s wrong with you?”

“Wrong with me? You’re the one with the problem—”

“You keep shaking that finger at me and I’ll bite it off,” he growled.

“You and who’s army?” Lynn jammed her hands on her hips. For a moment she couldn’t remember why they were fighting, but she loved it. Donny never argued with her; he just agreed with what she said, then did whatever he wanted behind her back.

“I don’t need an army. I need—” JC grabbed her by the hips and pulled her onto his lap before covering her mouth with his. He made a low sound in his throat and she heard a whimper.
