His Reluctant Rancher
by Roxanne Snopek
Des cast a cautious glance at Zach’s expression. Maybe it was okay. So she knew more of his history than she was comfortable with. That didn’t have to mean anything. He was just a nice guy who could use a little comfort and Lord knew she could stand some tension relief. But it wasn’t too late. They weren’t involved. There was no reason they couldn’t still have a good time together, without anyone getting hurt. Maybe it was time to test the waters.
She closed her laptop, pushed her plate away, and stood up. “Come with me.”
He rubbed a hand over his face. “Where to?”
“Just shut up and follow me, okay?” She smiled and tugged his sleeve. “No arguments.”
He seemed empty after his outburst and he trudged after her wordlessly. She led him to the barn, where he’d shown her the kitten.
But when they reached it, she no longer remembered whatever she’d been thinking of when she first grabbed his hand. She slammed the door behind them, then shoved him to the wall and pressed herself tightly against his body, holding his hands.
His eyes widened. “Des,” he said, his voice raspy.
“Shut up, cowboy.” Keeping her eyes on him, she slowly brought her lips to his. The instant they touched, she felt a quake run through him and pass into her. A tsunami of sensations roared over her, his lips, cold from the outdoor air, then warm, then hot. His tongue, sending sparks up, down, and sideways. His arms, so strong, his embrace wide enough to hold even a girl who’d never let herself be caught. She felt the connection between them like a lightning bolt, shared knowledge, desperate fellow travelers down a lonely, rocky road.
Zach kissed, she thought dimly, like a starving man, grabbing and enjoying and remembering against the day when the feast was gone and he went hungry again.
Damn, damn, damn! What was this? Des struggled to slow her breathing, but it felt so good in his arms that she pushed whatever that might mean to the back of her mind and reveled in the warmth of his embrace.
She had no idea how long they stood there, necking like teenagers, tasting and touching and teasing. But she could have stayed forever.
