She sighed. “Uh-huh. I’ll take a quick shower.”
He chuckled. “I made that sound like I’m capable in the kitchen, but I’m not. You’ll need to tell me what to do.”
Mia burst out laughing, arms around him as she leaned in for another kiss. “You’re crazy. I can’t believe you tricked me like that. Were you waiting for me to decline your offer and tell you how much I was looking forward to cooking for you?”
He shrugged, his mouth kicking up into a grin even though he was trying so hard to keep a straight face. “Would you think I was an asshole if I said yes?”
She punched his arm. “Yes! But you’re just lucky that I happen to love cooking, and I’m not prepared to wait while some novice cook tries to whip something up to impress me. Especially after making me work up an appetite like that.”
Mia rose and walked to the bathroom, crossing the room and giving him an eyeful of her pert butt and beautiful, slender body. Her skin was lightly tanned, golden blonde hair long and falling down to the middle of her back.
She turned, as if knowing he’d be watching her, still smiling as she shook her head and disappeared from sight. Sam lay back on the bed, wondering how on earth he’d come to the Ford ranch so reluctantly to work a horse, and had ended up sleeping with an heir to the Ford fortune and crazily entering into a completely different kind of contract. This time, it was his sexual services on offer though, not his horsemanship skills.
“First time for everything,” he murmured to himself.
He heard the shower running and imagined Mia in there, water skimming across her skin, hair wet and clinging to her back, naked body shimmering beneath droplets of water. Sam felt himself start to get hard again almost instantly, but he didn’t storm in there to go looking for more.
Anticipation was almost as good as the real thing, but Mia was hungry and he wanted her full of sustenance and ready to match his pace. He’d wait until after dinner before going back for round two.
