Chapter Eleven

“Terms, terms, who cares? You’re the best, Ross Denton.” She looked up at him, realizing that she’d just thrown herself into his arms. Judging by the expression on his face, he was just as surprised as she. His arms tensed around her and she noticed they were close enough to kiss. Her eyes drifted to his lips, the moment stalled and every thought vaporized into thin air.

Oh, no, girl! She pulled back and he let her go easily. But as she moved away from him, her thoughts were spinning. And to her dismay, she wished for nothing more than to feel his arms around her, pulling her close again as he kissed her.

Crazy. Crazier than crazy. Now more than ever, it was imperative that she maintain a professional relationship.

“My terms are,” he said, clearing his throat and raking a hand through his hair, “that I’ll help, but you’ll have to take my advice. Because I still don’t believe you have the slightest notion about what you are getting yourself into.”

That was no joke, she thought, as her eyes cried mutiny and dropped to his lips. “I agree,” she finally said. At that moment, she’d agree to anything. The man was letting her use his barn. That was all that mattered. She focused, and took a deep breath. She wasn’t worried. She would be able to get him to see things her way once they got going. The key thing was just getting started.

For that alone she wanted to kiss him.

Who was she kidding—she just wanted to kiss him, period.

And that was not happening. No way. Not at all.

“Well, I guess you should check those steaks and I had better go check on those pickled prunes, or whatever it is I put on the stove. And—and then we can talk.” She hurried away as if she were being chased by a pack of beavers.

“If there are prunes in there, you’re on your own,” he called after her.

“Hey, I’m so happy right now that I might eat them.”
