Jason was waiting at the stables, full of questions. Had Nick really taken the reins? How fast did they go? Was it a rush? The necessary explanations—together with the mundane task of unharnessing—went a long way toward settling the smoldering tension.

They were both laughing easily at something Jason said when they reached for the girth strap at the same time. Their hands touched. The jolt—electric sharp, lightning fast—zinged through her, and she was instantly completely aware of him. The grave stillness of his gaze, his earthy male scent, the sheen of heat on his skin, the pulsing beat of his heart. If she closed her eyes, she swore she would hear the blood surging through his veins. But she didn’t close her eyes. They had fixed on the sensual curve of his mouth, so near she could feel his breath on her face.

Oh help. If he kisses me, I’m sunk.

His fingers curled around hers. His thumb stroked once across the back of her hand, and her insides turned to liquid.

Oh help. If he doesn’t kiss me, I’ll die.

“Are you two going to undo that buckle or stand about holding hands all afternoon?” Jase asked with a disgusted snort.

T.C. reclaimed her hand and avoided meeting anyone’s eyes. Jason gathered up the remaining gear and took it off to the tack room. Nick cleared his throat and asked if he should hose Star down. Star snorted and pawed at the ground, and Ug trotted in from an afternoon’s rat hunting.

Everything back to normal, T.C. thought, although her pulse still skittered all over the yard like an unbroken colt. She watched Nick lead Star away and thought about the chores still to be done. She would rather watch Nick, or talk to Nick, or go take a long shower, then stretch out on her bed to think about Nick.

Everything definitely far from normal, she thought uneasily. What was wrong with her? She still hadn’t moved several minutes later when a spray of water arced high above the concrete wall enclosing the wash-bay, closely followed by a muffled oath. By the time she arrived Nick looked about as wet as the horse with the hose clasped between its teeth.

At the sound of her strangled laughter, his head whipped around. “Are you here to help or for the entertainment?”

She folded her arms across her chest. “Oh, definitely for the show.”

“Which is undoubtedly funnier from where you’re standing.”

At precisely that moment Star turned her head, gave him an innocent look and dropped the hose.

“Thanks for your cooperation,” he muttered as the hose, still spurting water, snaked out of his reach. “Would you get that for me?”

She shouldn’t have taken that call for assistance at face value. She should have noticed the narrowing of his gaze, the unholy light in his eyes. But she was too busy chortling at his predicament.

She gathered the hose and brought it to him at the front of the bay, and Nick casually stepped around her to block the exit. Snookered. Her eyes widened on the weapon she had unwittingly handed him.
