Chapter Ten

The strains of Georgia on My Mind erupted from Gage’s cell early the next morning. Bobby curled around his pillow as he climbed out of bed and searched through his clothes for it.

“This had better be good,” he grumbled into the phone. He began pacing the room as he listened to the caller, rolling his free arm as if to work out a kink in his shoulder. “A tweaker?”

Barely awake and half-listening to his end of the conversation, Bobby watched him move about the room. Dear Lord, the man’s body. Even the three scars didn’t detract from the vision. If anything, they gave him a dangerous edge, like a warrior from days past.

Technically, as the town sheriff he was the modern day version of a knight. A physically and mentally strong man sworn by his honor to protect the people around him. There he stood, in all his naked glory, hers to watch.

Hers?

When had she started thinking like that? She barely knew the man. A hot flush ran over her body. Oh God, she’d done the one thing she’d harped on her sisters never to do. Jump into bed with a man after the first date and think she was in love.

Had they even had a date? Not really.

When she’d traveled north to Westen, she hadn’t been looking for romance, just adventure. Well, she’d found adventure, all right. Maybe being with Gage was another kind of adventure. She’d lived her whole life for others, taking the safe, conservative route. Why not take a chance and have a hot fling with a sexy man? No regrets, no commitments.

Suddenly, Gage stopped pacing, his whole being taut with concentration. He signaled her to get out of bed.

“Yeah, I can be there. How long can you keep her there? Half an hour?” he asked whoever was on the other end. His eyes on her, she realized he was also asking her if she could be ready that fast.

True to his words of last night, he was including her in whatever was going on. She nodded, quickly scrambling out of the bed and grabbing the sheet around her, she headed to the bathroom, tripping over her makeshift cover all the way down the hall.

Why was it men felt comfortable prancing around in their grand nakedness and women always felt the need to hide their imperfections?

No time to reflect on the differences between men and women now.

She jumped in the shower and gave herself a once over, wishing she had the time to let the hot water pound her muscles. Some of the places she ached she never knew existed. Heat filled her cheeks. How was she supposed to spend the day with the man after the things they’d done last night? Well, at least the day wasn’t starting with awkwardness. Whoever had called Gage wanted them somewhere pronto.

Who called and what had they said to set off Gage’s intensity meter once more? It was scary that she could already read this man so easily and he seemed to be in tune with her as well.
