They stood, locked together, their bodies slick, their hearts thundering.

Whit’s face was buried against her throat. He found himself wondering what had just happened. He couldn’t remember a time when he’d been so out of control that he’d lost all direction.

He’d wanted this. Thought of nothing but this since he’d first seen Cara that night at the range shack. But he’d never expected to feel this. As though he’d been run over by a truck, and yet couldn’t wait to be run over again.

And there was more. He was feeling…crazy happy. Here in this sad, haunted place, he wanted to shout to the world that he’d found something wonderful. Someone special.

She was…incredible. Amazing. Magic.

That was it. This woman was magic. She’d bewitched him. And instead of being afraid of her power, he was enchanted by it. Sucked in. Addicted. Intrigued.

In love.

Never.

Hadn’t he vowed he would never get all sappy and stupid like his brothers?

All right. Not in love. It was just…lust. That thought seemed to steady him. He was in lust. And he wanted more of it.

It gave him little comfort, but it would have to do for now, until he could find his brain.

He eased her gently to her feet, then lowered both of them to the cool, damp grass. It wasn’t enough to cool their fevered flesh.

Leaning up on one elbow, he touched her face. “You all right?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

He grinned. “I guess that’s yes.”

“Mmm.”

“Sorry. Really sorry.” His tone was a low growl of guilt. “I didn’t mean to be so rough.”

“We both were.”

“But I’m bigger. I shouldn’t have been so rough. I could’ve hurt—”

“You were fine.”

“Really?” He looked down at the dazed smile on her lips. “You look the way I feel.”

“Is that good?”

“Very good.” He paused a moment before saying, “You know you’re too tenderhearted for your own good. If you hadn’t gone all soft and mushy about my grief, we might have made it home without…this.”

“Are you sorry?”

“Hell no.” He gave her one of those sexy grins. “You just made my day, Goldilocks.”

“You didn’t call me that a few minutes ago.”

“I didn’t? What did I call you?”

“My beautiful Cara.” Her voice sounded all soft and dreamy.

“I must have lost my mind for a moment.”

“Yeah. Just for a moment.”

He brushed his lips over hers. “I wouldn’t mind losing it again.”

“Are you saying…now?”

“Well, yeah.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “If you’re not too exhausted.”

“Don’t you know that women are always ready? It’s men who sometimes need time before they can…go for seconds.”

“Not this man.”

“Are you sure you’re not just bragging, Cowboy?”

“I never make a claim I can’t back up.”

Before she could say more, he rolled her on top of him. Her hair fell forward, tickling his chest.

As she wiggled around, she suddenly went very still. “Oh.”

He was laughing. “Told you.”

He touched a finger to her mouth, still swollen from his kisses. “I never meant to be so rough. I was in a strange mood.”

“I know.” She brushed a lock of hair from his forehead. “You were so sad.
