Was she with him? Knox’s words to his uncle had firmly grabbed her by the heartstrings and tugged her closer to him. As if she needed more of that—she’d been going crazy for two days wondering how to deal with the fallout of her emotions.

The kisses wouldn’t leave her mind, and even now if she glanced at his mouth, she could feel his lips moving over hers.

Of course, this was all due to her living in close proximity to him for over a week now. Even though they weren’t sleeping together and didn’t cross paths very often, it sure felt like playing house with another cowboy.

Unbeknownst to her nosy family, she had lived with a cowboy back home for three months during her senior year of college. That might be the reason she’d never wanted one. The passionate affair had quickly fizzled out, as soon as she realized they didn’t share the same moral values and no way in hell could she bring that guy home to Momma let alone hold a deep conversation with him.

But Knox was different.

He was seated behind the desk, head bowed over his steepled fingers. His stillness jerked at those heartstrings a second time.

This is probably a bad idea, but…

Kizzy rounded the desk and leaned against the edge near him. She didn’t speak, and he didn’t look up.

After a long moment, she said, “This is a lot of pressure on you in your present state of mind.”

He looked up, lines carved across his forehead. “What state of mind is that?”

“Your grief. Maybe your uncle’s right—you need to give this decision time. Let it marinate.”

“Like a steak?”

She gave a low chuckle. “I guess so.”

He stared at her, gaze roving over her hair and face, down her breasts and then back up to meet her eyes. When he reached for her, she was ready for it. She’d prepared to skirt away from him if this ever happened again, and here she was faced with the decision of whether or not to allow her boss to touch her.

But all that flew out the window at the first sear of his touch on her waist.

She slipped off the desk and he tugged her closer, using almost no pressure, till he sat mere inches from her.

When he tipped his forehead against her middle, an indescribable tenderness took hold of her, and she sank her fingers into his thick hair.

“I’m making a mess of things,” he grated out. She didn’t know if he meant with the ranch or her.

Applying pressure to her waist, he brought her a step closer.

“Kizzy.” He tilted his head to look at her.

She swallowed hard at the yearning expression in his hazel eyes.

“Those kisses weren’t a mistake.”

A low noise of wanting left her, and then he yanked her into his lap, and she wound her arms around his neck. The warm steel of his thighs under her ignited a fire, and she didn’t know if she could control it this time.

She moved in
