Lea was smashed between Jewel and Eli in the center of the front seat of the pickup truck. Jewel had not anticipated the drive being the worst part of the trail ride. With Lea pressed so close to her, the heat from their bodies mingling, she couldn’t do anything but think of what this would feel like in a completely different situation.

She tried her best to keep her hands to herself, to not touch Lea’s thigh, or her arm, or push too hard into her side when Eli took a turn sharper than she had anticipated, which seemed to be a lot. At some point, she leaned over Lea and shot Eli a dirty look, wondering if the woman was doing it on purpose. The responding smirk confirmed that fact.

Jewel was doomed.

Everything she wanted was sitting right next to her, but until they had some time to properly talk, they were going to have to leave well enough alone. Jewel wouldn’t push Lea to do anything, especially with what had happened the night before, without a good long conversation. When they got to the lake, Jewel got out and stretched her legs. It had only been a forty-five minute drive, but sitting in such close confines with Lea had pushed her to a limit she hadn’t known she’d had.

Eli got out and opened the back of the trailer. She got the horses ready while Lea helped and Jewel hung back. She had no idea what she was doing, so it would definitely be better if she didn’t intervene or attempt to help. She would only make it worse. She shoved her hands into the pockets of her jacket and looked around.

She hadn’t been to this lake before, although she’d heard her students talk about it for years. She’d never found the time. She could see why they all loved it so much. It was gorgeous, as if they had dipped into an oasis in the middle of the high plains. Trees lined both sides, the lake below shimmering in what there was of sunlight, but it was a deep blue. She caught sight of a couple old men fishing down by a dock and wondered if they were there rain or shine.

Eli held out some reins for her to take, and Jewel hesitated before allowing the leather to fall into her fingers. “This is Mercy. She’s my best and my calmest horse, so don’t you go worrying about anything.”

Jewel drew in a deep breath and let it out. She hadn’t realized horses were so big. In retrospect, she should have. They were beautifully strong creatures. Jewel put her hand out for Mercy to smell, and Eli immediately clucked her tongue.

“Fingers flat or she might nip at them.”

Shoving her hand back in her pocket, Jewel looked at Lea with a tinge of fear. Lea looked relaxed as she ran her hands along the neck and muzzle of her horse. Together, they seemed to bond. Jewel would never have that—with the horse or with Lea.
