“This is my secret place,” Maverick said. “Too good for the New York guys. Not too good for my mate.” He jumped off his horse and held out a hand for her. She took it, and he helped her off the saddle, putting a hand at her waist.

When he settled her in front of him, she looked up into his eyes, feeling more bonded than ever before. Already, those dark eyes were starting to feel like home.

It was crazy. Was this what her friends had been feeling when they’d decided so quickly to settle down with the McAllister brothers?

He looked away from her and went to tie the horses to a nearby fence where they could graze on some soft, green grass. Then he took her hand and the picnic basket and led her to the edge of the overlook.

He let go of her to open the basket and take out a wide, woolen blanket, and she missed the feel of his warm, calloused palm.

She felt she could spend her whole life trying to figure out the mysteries behind this odd man and never quite do it. But maybe it would be worth a try.

Still, a part of her couldn’t ignore it wasn’t really a good match. Not logically.

He helped her down onto the blanket and opened the basket to start pulling out lunch.

She grinned. It was all clearly made by Fanny and was fairly simple. Sandwiches. Bottles of milk. Chips. But then he pulled out a lumpy, misshapen chocolate cake, and Harmony grinned.

That part had to be all him. The slanting, off-kilter shape was kind of romantic.

“What?” he asked gruffly, noting the direction of her gaze. “Looks good, right?” He handed her a sandwich. “But you have to eat the healthy stuff first.”

She scowled. “Why? Afraid I’ll get fat?”

He gave her a long, slow look. “Hell no.” He grinned and took a bite of his own sandwich. “But I’m told it’s best to eat the healthy shit first so by the time you get to the dessert, it’s even tastier.” His brow crinkled. “Plus, I’m a little nervous I messed it up. I’d rather you ate other stuff first, just in case.”

She laughed. She didn’t want to mention to him that anything Fanny made, healthy or not, was going to taste amazing and probably wouldn’t help him by comparison when they got to his dessert.

But she was so touched that he’d made it that she decided it was going to be delicious no matter what. She’d plow it down even if it tasted like sawdust.

Or worse.

When he’d finished his sandwich and was nibbling his chips, she noticed he was staring at her again. She couldn’t help but burn with a sizzling heat whenever he did that. Her whole body seemed to buzz with awareness.

“What?” she asked self-consciously.

“Why wouldn’t I want you to get fat?” he asked, raising one dark brow as a muscle ticked in his jaw. “You made it sound like a bad thing.”

“Um, it is,” she said. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like me the way I am, but I don’t want to be unhealthy.
