“If you hurt him, I’ll kill you!”
What was I thinking?Rex walked calmly to the rear, where the horse was safe as could be.
Jade closed the trailer doors and wagged her finger inches from Rex’s face. “Don’t you hurt that horse or else, you hear me? Who taught you to drive anyway?”
He smiled. How could he not? She looked adorable spouting off threats like she could carry them out. He had to stop thinking of her in terms of cute and sexy. She was a Johnson, end of story. He headed back toward the truck.
“Smiling? You’re laughing at me?” She stalked back to the truck.
He climbed in beside her, and she stewed the rest of the way. He finally pulled up beside the trees at the top of her property and stopped the truck. Without a word, afraid of what might come out of his mouth, Rex stepped from the truck and headed for the trailer.
“Aren’t you bringing him down to the barn?” she asked, hurrying out of the truck.
He lowered the ramp and backed the horse out.
“Nope,” he said.
“What? What kind of gentleman are you?” She yanked Flame’s reins from his hands.
“The kind that knows better than to walk on Johnson property.” He tipped his hat and smiled. “You’re welcome.” He wanted nothing more than to drive down that driveway with her in the cab of the truck, if for no other reason than to be next to her for a little longer, but he’d taken enough of a risk bringing her this far. He wouldn’t dare give Earl Johnson any reason to start breathing down his father’s back. He needed to get away from the Johnson propertyandto into an ice cold shower.
