now.
Wade looked a little nervous, then he laughed.
She did a double take to his amused face. “What the hell is so funny?”
Marge ignored her sniping and made her way back to the door.
He shrugged his wide shoulders. “She’s right. I suppose I was surveying for something precious and I found it.”
Struck speechless again, all she could do was gawk at him.
“Time to get home, Kanda, and I will expect a report on my desk, Wade.” Marge turned from the door to look at him. “I swear, you must have lava inside of you, boy!” She cackled like mad as she made her way out.
Despite her ma embarrassing her, she knew Marge always told it like it was and Kanda couldn’t agree more. Pure, molten lava—burning me to the ground. She studied his face as he watched her ma leave. Why would a man like him want me at all? She was puzzled by him in so many ways.
“And here I thought I’d made a pretty good hideout. First, your cowboy brother shows up, then my Pops and now your fire-breathing mom.”
Kanda just stared at him, not really hearing anything he said. I think I could just look at him all day long. Like a sunset that never ends. Why, he’s like a piece of art.
She never understood how people could stand around and stare at paintings and the like for hours. Now? She had a living, breathing statue of perfection. He was easy to look at, funny, bullheaded and powerful. Hot damn, just grab me a lawn chair and I could drink from this tall glass of tea—forever.
He smiled slyly at her. “You don’t realize it, but I think I see sparks of fire in your eyes, Kandy girl.”
At the mention of the word fire , her cheeks did flame.
Chuckling, he looked around at the cabin.
“What are you looking for?”
He got down on his knees and searched under the bed. “This!” He threw her jeans up onto the mattress. “Of course your shirt isn’t gonna do, you’ll have to wear mine.”
Shaking her head, Kanda took the jeans up.
“Unless you wanna arrive home naked?”
Kanda laughed.
“I sure would like to keep you naked, Kandy,” he purred at her.
The purr caused goose bumps to rise along her arms. “Remember what I said about that? The riding backward with the gunny sack hat thing?”
“Nah, you look best naked and your face shining, like you looked in the river.” He sat down next to her and caressed her arms. “I never saw anything as beautiful as that.”
Gulping, Kanda tried not to look into those blazing blue eyes. Lost, hypnotized and forever caught if she stared too long. Talk about staring into the great but wonderful unknown. Oh…I think—I love him?
“I want to give you that again and again.” He tugged her closer. “Just watch you writhing in passion. To watch you climax in my arms.”
Her throat closed all the way up now. His eyes did trap her and she couldn’t think straight. What was it I was supposed to do just now?
Wade bit at his lip and watched her face. “I won’t get enough of you, sweet Kandy. Not for a long while.”
Kanda was shivering just by the sound of his deep voice. So, he felt strongly about her too! Maybe, this could work. Maybe…?
Sighing as if he had some regrets, he stood up and grabbed his boots. “I think I scared you just now. I promise to take it easier.” He sat on the edge of the bed and tugged on a boot.
“Easier?” she whispered.
He put on the other boot. “Yep.”
“No!” she shot back.
He turned to look at her.
Embarrassed by her heated outburst, she shook her head. “I don’t want easy.” She nervously fiddled with her jeans and couldn’t look at him. “I want the man I had—in the river.” She looked up into his eyes now. “You. Just the way you are. Hell, I’ll take the man I roped; he was tied down and still knocked me for a danged loop!”
Wade looked serious now as he tilted his head at her. “I don’t know.”
Kanda felt confused again.
“If I jumped you every time I had the urge?”
Kanda gasped and lowered her
