Chapter Five

Eli Travis was far too high-handed by half. As if any man was going to keep her locked away in the house. Her body may have felt as if it had been rode hard and put away wet… Come to think of it, it had. That was still no excuse for sneaking out early and leaving her in his damned house with nothing but a note.

Get some rest. I’ll be back soon and we’ll talk

—Eli

Like she needed to know who wrote it. If he thought for one second she was giving up her job on the ranch… Suddenly it wasn't so important that he had given her shit jobs, which he admitted he had done purposely. She was born on the ranch; it was in her blood. There was no way he was turning her into the little woman waiting at home while he went out and “took care of things.” She would shoot him first.

Sure, part of her was happy, ecstatic, really, that Eli was looking at her like a female, but she only wanted him to look at her like that after hours. Well, okay, not at first, but now she did. Damn it! Why the hell did he have to go and confuse her like that? When she saw him again she was going to give him a piece of her mind. She would rip him to shreds with her tongue. She’d—

“Gilly, what are you doing on that stallion?”

She really needed to start paying attention when she was mad. She had ridden all the way to her house without even thinking about it.

“How else was I going to get home, Eli? You took the truck.”

She noted the stallion beneath her was dancing around nervously, eyeing the horse on which Eli sat. He looked as if he’d already been out on the range for a bit, which, given the time, was understandable. Gilly usually rose with the dawn, but today she’d slept like a log until after ten. Given the position of the sun, it had to be nearing noon, but she’d had to shower and scrounge for clothes that wouldn’t fall off her. She wound up in some old jeans and a plaid shirt that practically drowned her.

Eli was backing his horse away carefully, motioning to one of the hands. What the heck was this about? She was about to follow him to give him a piece of her mind when his soft-spoken command cut through her.

“Stay there, Gilly. Try to keep him calm.”

It was then she noted the horse was more than nervous—he was downright jumpy. Something was wrong. Wasting no time questioning, she leaned down to talk softly to the skittish stallion. She saw out of the corner of her eye Eli dismounting and handing his horse over to a ranch hand, then approaching slowly. It wasn't until after he grabbed the reins that Gilly exhaled a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding.

“Get down and go in the house and wait for me. I’ll be in directly.
