Chapter Ten

There was a pattern to the next week. Amanda arrived in the morning and J.D. had the coffee ready. He answered any questions she had; made the choices she needed him to make. Then he left her alone in the house. She knew he operated out of the office in the main show barn, Coop had said as much when he had stopped by the house to pick up a package they had been waiting on.

Fences and corrals were repaired and painted and the interiors of the outbuildings and barns were being updated. There was a full crew hired and the bunkhouse stood refurbished and they made use of it. J.D. came to the house for a quick sandwich at midday and then was off again. There was no sight of him when it came time for her to leave. He was doing his best to keep things on a professional level. She appreciated his effort. Yet, there was a part of her that missed the way it was before… before the past darkened the present and that truth weighed heavily on her thoughts. What she had thought was the truth of the man, had not been true at all. Yet, there was a wide gulf between them with no bridge in sight.

On Monday morning, Amanda arrived to find the coffee made and J.D. standing at the window, mug in hand, sipping the liquid while his gaze roamed across the pastures and to the hills beyond. As usual, the sight of him always stirred her senses and that morning was no different. The jeans and cream colored shirt fit his physique like a glove, and when he turned to smile a good morning to her, the light in the emerald eyes coupled with the devastating, grooved smile was just that…devastating on her heart rate. She tried to not react to the sight of him, but it was a battle lost before it began. She had come to the realization she had to accept the fact that this man would always bring out that reaction in her even if she lived to be eighty.

“Good morning.” He spoke first. The look in his eyes telling her he approved of what he saw. She had taken more and more to wearing slim fitting jeans and today, she had chosen a spice colored turtleneck sweater that enhanced her figure to advantage. The weather was crisper in the mornings as October had turned into November and Thanksgiving would be upon them in less than two weeks so it was time to look toward her fall wardrobe.

“Good morning to you, too,” she replied, stirring her coffee once more and then turning from the cabinet, she moved to stand at the same window. She kept a discreet distance between them as she took a sip of the coffee from her mug, but she caught the aroma of his cologne, a manly scent that suited him perfectly. Tracy had enlightened her to the fact earlier in the week the cologne was probably his own product.
