Chapter Ten

Sasha had enjoyed the ride over, that feeling of being part of a couple. She hadn’t realized how much she’d missed it until Remy began teasing. She missed the shared inside jokes that came naturally to couples who’d been together for a while. A silly thing to miss but there it was.

Annie Metcalf, a petite, dark-haired woman dressed in T-shirt, jeans, and bright green Wellington-style boots, appeared in the barn’s open doorway and waved them over.

“I thought I heard a car pull up,” Annie said as she approached.

“Annie, hi, sorry we’re a little late. We made a stop.” Remy’s hand came to rest on the small of Sasha’s back.

Sasha swallowed. It was as if the heat from his palm had spread throughout her whole body.

Annie’s wide smile lit up her face. “No problem. I’m here all day, every day.”

“I’m not sure if you two have officially met.”

Sasha held out her hand to Annie. “I’ve seen you at the school, but we haven’t had the opportunity to talk.”

“Yeah, sorry. I haven’t been able to get over to the school as much as I’d like.” Annie shook Sasha’s hand, then waved to encompass the ranch. “I’d love to volunteer more, but this place keeps me busy.”

Sasha glanced around. “I’m impressed you can handle all this on your own.”

Annie laughed. “I can’t, but I have a decent ranch hand. I don’t know what I’d do without Landry. Have you decided if you want Ranger or the Gator?”

Remy glanced down at Sasha. “You still good with the horse?”

Sasha shivered in anticipation. Remy hadn’t planned a simple date like she’d expected. No, he’d put a lot of thought into it. She wasn’t sure what to make of that. Jimmy had thought dinner out at the local bar was a romantic night out. “I’m looking forward to it, but I confess I haven’t been on a horse in a long time.”

Annie wiped her hands on her jeans. “Well, good. I’ll go get Ranger saddled up.”

Remy dropped his arm from where it rested on Sasha’s lower back. “Let me do that. You two ladies can talk.”

Annie brushed hay off her jeans. “Let the big strong man take care of things?”

Remy hooted with laughter. “I know better than to pull that on either of you.”

“You’re damn right,” Annie said and balanced on her toes as if that would give her some height, and Remy laughed again.

Still smiling, Remy tapped Sasha on the shoulder. “Be right back, cher.”

Annie turned to Sasha after Remy disappeared into the barn. “So, you two, uh…?”

“No. I mean, um, I’m not supposed to date the parent of a student.” That was an easy answer, but none of this felt easy. She had thought not getting involved with another lawman would be simple. But she hadn’t foreseen Sheriff Remy Fontenot.

“…if anyone would really mind,” Annie was saying.

Sasha shrugged. What could she say? “This is the auction date I won.”

“I heard about that. Deirdre tried to intimidate Floy, and you stepped up. Go, you.” Annie raised her curled hand and did a fist bump with Sasha.
