FOR THE FIRST time in a long time, Cole Chisholm was alone on a Friday night.

He sat at the bar, a bottle of beer in front of him, a lively two-step number bouncing off the walls around him.

The small honky-tonk sat just off the highway on the outskirts of Three Rivers, a postage-stamp-size town that played to sportsmen with its rolling acres of prime hunting ground. It was just a few weeks into deer season and so the area was crawling with men. More men meant that the local women came out in droves.

All he had to do was scope out the sea of hot bodies that filled the dance floor and pick whichever one caught his fancy. A blonde bombshell with big breasts or a brunette with a nice ass or a redhead with long legs. Someone to take the edge off and ease the damn near constant hard-on making his life freakin’ miserable. A good lay and he would stop fantasizing about Nikki.

Then he could think again.

Concentrate.

At the same time there was nothing wrong with pacing himself. He had all night, and so instead of eyeballing a woman he settled for a beer.

He took a deep swig of Coors, but the liquid didn’t ease the tightening in his gut or sate the thirst that clawed at his throat.

So get to it.

He should. But damned if he could make himself move. Instead, he downed another swig of beer and wished with all his heart that he could punch something.

His gaze fixed on the woman currently two-stepping her way across the dance floor with another man.

His woman.

She wore a short black leather fringe vest that didn’t have anything underneath except smooth, silky skin and a pair of black leather pants that hung low on her hips. Add a pair of blinged-out cowboy boots and Nikki Barbie was definitely the hottest thing in this joint.

But her appeal went deeper than the sexy getup. Her long blond hair was slightly mussed and flowed down around her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled. Her skin glowed. She looked as if she’d just rolled out of bed after a night of incredible sex.

Yeah, right.

She’d built such a fortified wall between them that sex wasn’t even a remote possibility. Hell, he’d barely kissed her since that first night.

No, the only thing they’d been doing was talking and sharing and spending time together.

And damned if that didn’t make him feel that much more twisted inside. Because he liked spending time together, even if they weren’t having sex.

Because they weren’t.

Because Cole Chisholm wanted more than sex from her.

He ditched the last thought, downed another gulp and barely resisted the urge to haul ass across the room and inform her that she was making a fool of herself.

Why, she was hanging all over that guy.

Her arms looped around his neck. A smile tilted her full lips as she drank in his every word. She slid this way and that, her boots kicking up sawdust as she danced and lived up to her infamous Barbie reputation.
