He was playing with fire, Chance admitted to himself, as he pulled on his jacket and headed for the barn. The cold wind, buffeting his face, restored some, but not all, of his good sense. He had no business getting involved with Hallie O’Rourke. She was just passing through, she’d said so herself, and one of these days she was going to be gone for good. He tilted his head back, looked up at a sky full of stars. The sight made him feel reverent, gave him a deep sense of the sacred, even as he lusted after Hallie O’Rourke. He’d have given just about anything, right then, to be alone with her, to take her down in some private place and feed the fire that was consuming both of them until it raged out of control and slowly, slowly burned itself out.

He was just letting himself into the kitchen again, twenty minutes later, when Hallie came down the stairs, looking frazzled and moist and utterly delectable.

“They’re in bed,” she said, with relief. “Any sign of Jessie?”

“Are they sleeping?” he asked, and wriggled his eyebrows.

She tilted her head to one side. “Don’t get any ideas,” she told him, but there was a sparkle in her eyes, and a little smile lingered at the corner of her sweet, soft mouth.

“Too late,” he ground out. Truer words had never been spoken, God help him.

She laughed. “I’ll make another pot of coffee,” she said. “This might be a long night.”

He nodded, sighed again. He was going to suffer the tortures of the damned before it was over, unless he 1) made love to Hallie, or 2) threw himself into the creek to cool off. Since the second scenario seemed much more likely to happen than the first, for the time being at least, and likely to give him pneumonia into the bargain, he elected to endure. Hell, he’d never known a hard-on to last more than, say, six weeks.
