Carson had never been more nervous in his life. Not even during the third round of the NFR last year, when he’d been poised to win it all. He’d never felt so out of his depth as he did leading her up the stairs.

“Are you sure about this?” he asked when they paused outside her bedroom door.

Could she really want him? An injured cowboy with a question mark future, who made a tiny fraction of what she did in a year. She answered with a nod and a tiny half smile that made him feel kind of funny inside.

“I’m sure.”

So he took his courage into his own hands, told himself he was up to the challenge, leading her into a room that was a mass of contradictions. Frilly where Ava was no-nonsense. Warm where Ava projected an air of cool confidence. Whimsical with its stuffed animals and cartoonlike pieces of artwork on the walls.

She had stopped by the bed and, for such a confident woman, she suddenly seemed awkward, but he knew how she felt. His hands shook he was so nervous.

She had changed earlier, the baggy pink T-shirt she wore making her seem younger. Or maybe it was the trousers. They were baggy and had a striped pattern to them. Hardly sexy attire, but to him she looked adorable.

“This might not be easy,” he said, glancing down at his wounded arm.

“How did you get your shirt over it?”

He shot her a wry grin. “Well, it’s actually a size large, and then I looped a rubber band through the buttonhole and then around the button.” He held his arm up so she could see.

“Ingenious.”

“Desperate to impress you.”

He saw her eyes soften at his words, saw the way she licked her lips and yet she also seemed flattered, as if she hadn’t expected him to want to try to impress her. If she knew how insecure he felt standing next to her, she’d never doubt his words again.

“Do you have any idea how gorgeous you are?” he asked. “How hard it is to stand here and think, what in the heck does she see in me?”

She dropped her gaze. “You don’t have to try and flatter me.”

He lifted her chin. “I’m not flattering you. It’s true. You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever met. And if you doubt me, here—” He pulled her hips up against him so she could feel what she did to him.

“No.” There was an intensity in her eyes, a sincerity that he couldn’t doubt. “If you knew how often I’ve thought of you over the past few days, you would never say that.”

So she felt it, too. That crazy attraction between them. Before he could change his mind, he bent and kissed her again, and it was just like the first time. Exciting. Exhilarating. Unnerving. She tasted like sugar and exotic spices and he could have stood there all night just kissing her. But when she groaned, it did something to him, something that made him want to please her even more.
