CHAPTER TWELVE

The sun was low in the sky, and after packing an overnight bag, Bridget headed up to Caden’s room, dying for a soak in his large, jacuzzi tub. The big house seemed quiet as she walked up the stairs and let herself into his suite, and tired and dusty from the busy afternoon, she moved straight into the bathroom. Choosing some jasmine bath gel, she turned on the faucets and dropped several large dollops into the tub, then peeled of her dirty, dusty clothes. Stuffing her hair under a shower cap, she slid into the foamy water, closed her eyes, and sinking into the comforting warmth, she let out a long grateful sigh.

I hope Caden’s mare is okay. Poor thing. I wish I was there with him. I couldn’t do anything practical, but I could lend morale support. Heather’s a poor thing too. I wonder what’s making her so sad. That mother of hers is a trip. Good grief. Talk about a prima donna, and she seems like a total control freak. Caden, I miss you. Training. That’s what you said. God, that turns me on! That thing about wearing a skirt so you can lift it and smack me, ooh.

Her hand slipped between her legs, but recalling his edict, moaning reluctantly, she pulled it away.

“It’s not fair,” she muttered. “I should be allowed to do this. I’d be totally focused on you and all your wicked promises.”

Resigning herself to a simple soak, she forced herself to think about things other than her sexy cowboy and his salacious plans. Finally rising from the tub, she toweled off, donned the bathrobe hanging on the hook behind the door, and was walking into the bedroom when the phone rang. Running to answer it, praying it was Caden, she picked up the receiver.

“Hello?”

“Hey, darlin’.”

His voice sounded weary, but not sad or melancholy.

“How is she?” Bridget asked hoping she’d read him correctly.

“It was touch and go, but she’s out of the woods, and I have a brand new foal. A little girl. Cute as could be.”

“Yay. Silly question, but aren’t they all cute?”

“Yes, Bridget, they are, but some are cuter than others. I can already tell she’ll be full of mischief. Her mother is, so it’s in her blood.”

“She’s really okay, the mother?”

“Patty, yes, but I’m stayin’ here overnight just in case.”

“Do you have cameras in the barn so you can monitor her?”

“Oh, sure, but I’m not relyin’ on that. I’ll bring a sleepin’ bag down here and stay in the stall next to her and her baby.”

“Really?”

“I’m not leavin’ her, not a chance. The vet said she’d should be brighter in the mornin’, and as long as she is I can head on back there.”

“Caden, you take my breath away. That is so wonderful.”

“What?”

“Sleeping in the stall to watch over her. I wish I was there with you.”

“Me too, but I think she’s gonna be just fine and we’ll be together again tomorrow. What’s goin’ on there? How was Heather?”

“She’s so nice, Caden.
