“Why both?”

“Because I love how you talk to me, but I also know I’ll never hear another man say the things you say.”

“I should hope the hell not. I don’t want another man talking to you the way I do.”

“Any men in my future––”

“Fuck, no.” Grabbing her hand, he led her from the dance floor and out the barn door and didn’t stop until he reached the corral fence. Cupping her face in his hands, he looked into hereyes. “I don’t want to hear about any future men.”

“Let’s be honest here, Devin. One day I will find someone who is more suited to me.”

“And you think I’m not?”

“You’re in Montana, I’m in California. Neither of us will move,andI’m older than you. I want a man around my age or older.”

“Do you know what fucking bullshit that is? Any man, no matter what his age, can screw around. Don’t assume I will just because I’m younger. Your jackass of an ex-husband proved that.”

She stared up at him. “We can agree to disagree.”

“You just don’t get it, do you?”

“Get what?” Willa frowned up at him.

“Never mind. Do you want to go back inside or leave?”

“Are you offering to walk me home?”

“Yes.”

“Oh… all right.”

“And I want to see those Jimmy whoever shoes.”

Willa laughed and stood on her toes. “Kiss me first.”

Devin groaned and pulled her to him then took her lips in a deep kiss. When he moved his tongue into her mouth, she moaned and sucked on it. Running his hands around her waist, he then wrapped them around her ass and squeezed it as he pulled her tight against him. He raised his lips from hers.

“Do you feel what you do to me? I’m so hard Icould take you right here. I love hearing you scream my name and I love feeling your breath on my skin. You bring me to my knees, darlin’.”

“I know this is big mistake but let’s go,” Willa whispered against his lips.

Devin took her hand in his then walked with her along the road to reach her cabin. He stood on the porch as she unlocked the door then pushed it open. Once inside, he picked her up and kicked the door closed.

Monday morning after taking a group on a ride along the fence, Devin entered the barn to see Rocky standing by the corral. Rocky glanced at him and smiled.

“I’m anxious to ride Gypsy,” he said when Devin reached him.

Devin stepped up beside him and laid his arms on the rail. “You must be since you’re here so early. I told Chip to get her ready when I saw him on the way in. I hope she’s a good fit for you.”

“Me too. Lucy’s nice to let me see if we get along first.”

“Lucy’s a good person.”

Rocky grinned at him. “Seems like all you Callahans are.”

“We try. Here comes Chip with Gypsy,” he said as he looked over his shoulder.
