They reached the house and Ella took him through the side entrance, straight into the mudroom where they shed their coats and boots and hats and anything else that was wet. Sure, he was a visitor, but he’d also been a cowhand for the afternoon and hopefully they were past standing on ceremony with each other. From there she took him through the huge galley kitchen, with its bank of east facing windows and from there she showed him through to the adjacent wash room; the one with the super pressure and the oversized shower head. She gave him towels and fresh soap. She may even have sighed wistfully as she’d watched him close the bathroom door behind him.

“I’m going up to another shower,” she said, loud enough so that he could hear. “Help yourself to tea, coffee or whatever else you want when you come out.”

“Okay.”

Ella went to her room and set her own shower to scalding and then she got in and scrubbed everywhere, twice, before declaring herself squeaky clean and starting in on her after shower care. Lotion. Comb. Teeth. Towel wrapped around her while she stood in her walk-in-closet and wondered what to wear for a night out at a restaurant or a night snowed in here, the latter seeming more likely by the minute given the way the snow was coming down outside.

“Everything to do with the lust,” he told her dryly. “You want to hope that the level of lust fades as you get to know me better, otherwise you’re going to want to please me all the time.”

“I can see how that would get tedious, but back to the now. What shall I wear?”

“You’re really task oriented, aren’t you?”

“I think it’s a family trait. I’m also standing here in a towel and it’s getting chilly. At this point, clothes would be good.”

Silence.

“Sawyer?”

“I’m trying to decide if you’re torturing me deliberately.”

“Rest assured, that is my intention.”

“Wear whatever’s comfortable, Ella.” There was a smile in his voice. “Rest assured you’re going to torture me anyway.”

Ella grinned as she went back to her wardrobe. She narrowed her eyes and gnawed on her lower lip before finally reaching for her favorite pair of jeans. They were low slung, soft to the touch and perfectly comfortable.

Bonus points for being blue.

She had a yellow top in there somewhere, with three-quarter sleeves and a pretty sweetheart neckline. Team it with a burgundy, hot-pink and grey plaid shirt and she still looked country but not staggeringly so. Add a
