THEY ENDED UP on a dusty back road that wound its way up to a steep cliff overlooking the lake. Lucky’s Point had once been the hottest make-out spot back in the day. The spot, in fact, where she’d made out with Jesse James Chisholm for the very first time. Times had changed and the kids now hung out down below on the banks of Lost Gun River, and so the Point was deserted when they rolled to a stop a few feet away from the edge.

Still...this wasn’t what she’d signed up for.

“I thought we were going to the motel,” she said as he swung the truck around and backed up to the edge of the cliff.

“And fight our way past the reporters camped out on my doorstep?” He spared her a glance before killing the engine. “I thought you wanted to keep this low-key.”

“I do. That’s why I thought we’d go someplace a little more private to do the deed.”

“Sugar, there’s not a soul up here.” He climbed out and went to lower the tailgate.

“That’s not altogether true,” she said as she followed him around to the back of the truck.

The sharp drop-off overlooked a spectacular view of the canyon and the rippling water. A huge bonfire blazed on the riverbank below. Ice chests were scattered here and there and dozens of teenagers milled about. Trucks lined the edge of the dirt road leading up to the gathering. Jason Aldean blasted from one of the truck radios, his rich, deep voice telling the tale of a dirt road just like the one that wound its way to the river.

“They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them.” He winked and patted the spot on the tailgate next to him. “Climb up.”

She hesitated, but then he touched her hand and she couldn’t help herself. She climbed up and settled next to him.

He shifted his attention to the scene spread out before them. “It’s still just as pretty as ever up here.”

Her gaze followed the direction of his and she drank in the scene. A strange sense of longing went through her. It really was beautiful. Picturesque.

She dodged the thought and focused on the frantic beat of her own heart and the six feet plus of warm, hard male camped out next to her. “I’m surprised you remember.” She slid him a sideways glance. “If memory serves, you didn’t spend much time enjoying the view.”

A grin tugged at his lips. “Oh, I enjoyed it plenty. It just didn’t have much to do with the canyon.”

“You were pretty fixated on one thing back then.”

“Yeah.” His gaze caught and held hers. “You.” The word hung between them for a long moment and she had the crazy thought that he wasn’t just talking about the past.

That he still felt something for her despite the fact that she’d walked away from him and ruined all their plans.

Crazy.

This was about lust and nothing else. Sex.

Thankfully.

“Thirsty?” His deep voice distracted her from the dangerous path her thoughts were taking.
