His eyes, or his groin, just couldn’t get a break.

It seemed no matter what he did the torment never ceased.

The bartender brought a longneck and placed it in front of him. “Don’t worry about paying for that one. The lady at the end of the bar said she thought you looked like you could use a cold one.”

Sweeping his gaze to the subject at hand, he spotted a smiling brunette. She moved forward and her breasts pushed above the scooped neckline of her shirt that looked two sizes too small. She was a nice looking woman, but he wasn’t interested.

Damn, he was getting old.

He was just too tired. And there was something else bothering him that he couldn’t quite pinpoint or understand—maybe he just didn’t want to understand.

Ignoring the trifling in the back of his brain, he saluted her with the bottle then took a long drink. After all, he didn’t want to be rude. She licked her lips seductively, as if to prove she wanted to do naughty things with her mouth.

“Wow, she’s got the hots for you, buddy.” Scrawny thumped him twice on the back.

Spark realized his zipper should be stretched and his mouth should be watering with a desire to sample the sexy brunette, but instead his gut tightened.

Once upon a time, he’d have welcomed the pass of a beautiful woman—one ripe for the taking— and now his mind was preoccupied with something else. His life’s future had taken the front seat over every impulsive craving. He’d had enough fun times with female fans and now his appetite had made a complete turnaround.

Tearing his gaze away, he concentrated on the lively atmosphere of the country bar. He was ready to head home, until the door opened and in walked trouble in heels and tight jeans. Jewels.

Sucking his beer, it went down the wrong pipe. He coughed and sputtered while Scrawny eyed him with a lifted brow. “Son-of-a-bitch,” Spark mumbled. “What in the hell is she doing here?” He didn’t realize he’d said the words aloud until Scrawny swiveled the barstool to take a look.

“The Stone sisters? They hang out here once in a while.”

Scrawny misunderstood Spark’s meaning, but he wasn’t about to explain. His throat ached from the coughing. He rubbed the back of his neck. Receiving another curious glance from Scrawny, Spark gave a quick shrug and searched his brain for a reasonable excuse why he cared that the ladies had walked in. “The whole idea was to play some darts, drink a couple of beers and get away from the ranch, right?”

It worked because Scrawny chuckled and patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. They won’t fraternize with us boys. They have standards, bro, and I’m afraid we don’t belong in their world.”

Spark tensed. Yeah, and there was the problem. Whether he should admit it or not, he wanted to belong in Jewels’ world, at least within a close proximity. He knew how crazy it sounded, and it’d probably never happen, but he had an itch for a honey-haired beauty that he ached to scratch.
