Between the woodwork and hanging flower baskets, framed by lush trees casting dappled green sunlight beneath their branches, everything looks to be plucked straight off a movie set. I can’t help feeling like there’s every chance I’ll bump into a grumpy guy, dressed in flannel, slinging coffee and sarcasm at the one and only café in this town.

I’m still undecided whether I’ve forgiven him for parading around half-naked in front of Sage the other day. I mean, ultimately, I think I’m screwed no matter what with that girl, because I could have brought in a team of cowgirls to work with me while unloading the hay, and there’s every chance she might have found one of them nice to look at, too.

“What are you gonna do? Put me over your knee?” “You’re not a child,” I grunt. “No, I’m not.” Her tongue runs slowly over her bottom lip as she studies me and reads me like a fucking book. “But I am a hot-blooded woman who very much enjoys being treated to a spank or ten by someone who knows how to handle me.”

“Don’t tell me you aren’t feeling this, too.” She challenges, and I’m damn near on her again. Crowding Sage with my bulk, I stand over her, looking down at those perfect, pouty lips. “Fine.
