Willa looked past him, her eyes growing wider. He swung around, going for his weapon, expecting to see someone behind them.

The room was empty. He blinked as he swung back around with the gun in his hand and faced her.

Willa stood smiling smugly. "I think we need to establish some ground rules," she said calmly, although he could see she was anything but.

"That was just a ruse?"

She cocked her head at him, still smiling. "Just like that kiss of yours was to make me think I could trust you."

He holstered his weapon, eyeing her warily. He understood now how she had managed to survive this long. And maybe the kiss had started out that way, but it had changed. He thought about calling her on it. She'd felt something. He knew because he'd felt it, too. But she was right about them needing some ground rules.

"Have you heard the story about the little boy who cried wolf?" he asked as he stepped closer.

"I like the one about the wolf in sheep's clothing better," she said, and held up her hand. "That's close enough. Rule number one: Keep your hands off me."

He grinned. "That won't be easy given that your neighbors think we're lovers and up here right now going at it on your bed."

She flushed and he had a flash of the two of them on the bed doing just that. He took a step back as he felt himself grow hard at the thought.

"What?" she asked, frowning.

He looked at her. Was she serious? "How many men have you been with?"

"What?"

He let out an oath and took another step back. "Don't tell me you're a virgin."

Landry looked horrified and Willa wanted to defend virgins all over the world. Instead, she kept her mouth shut, her face flushing and giving her away.

He let out another curse. "How old are you anyway?"

"Twenty-five, and you're wrong. I've been with plenty of men." She groaned inwardly. Why had she said that?

He started to laugh, shaking his head as he stared at her. "Twenty-five? Aren't there any able-bodied men in South Dakota?"

"No, there's only sheep," she snapped. "Of course there are men, and I told you, I've been with my share." Her chin went up.

"Then all the men are with the sheep," he said with a laugh.

"That isn't funny." Her voice broke.

He stopped laughing. "Sorry."

"Could we just concentrate on finding the painting and you stop ruining my life?"

He nodded solemnly. "I haven't ruined your life. At least I hope not." He took another step back.

"Would you stop treating me like I have some communicable disease?"

"Sorry. It's just that you're an attractive woman and I don't want to be the one who deflowers you."

She groaned. Deflower? Could she be any more mortified? "Don't worry about it. It's not like I would want you anyway."

"You're right. The first time should be with someone you love. Someone who respects you and wants your first time to be something wonderful."

"Could you please stop?" His words were getting to her.
