If just kissing this woman was driving my body insane, I didn’t even want to think about what it would be like to make love to her.

My hands slipped under her shirt, and when I found her nipples hard under her bra, I rubbed my thumbs against them, causing her to moan. The sound traveled straight to my cock, which throbbed in my jeans. I hadn’t even taken myself into my own hand for the last few months, and if this kept up, I’d come in my pants.

Emeline’s hands found their way under my shirt, and the feel of her skin on mine was enough to make my mind go blank. For a moment, I considered pulling her to the ground and taking her right there. Luckily, I regained power over my dick, and my mind started to work again. I wasn’t about to have sex with Emeline on the ground, out in the open. Not for our first time.

She drew back eventually, panting as if she’d just run a marathon. “We should stop.”

“Agreed,” I said, my own breath sounding heavy. “I’m going to guess you’re not gonna be able to break away this week for that date?”

Looking sad, she slowly shook her head. “I don’t think so. Starting tomorrow, it’s going to be very busy days.”

“Then we’re going to have to get creative.”

Her brows lifted. “Creative?”

“If you think I can see you every day and not at least kiss you again, you’re crazy.”

She giggled as she took my hand. “I’m sure we can figure something out. We need to get going.”

We headed down the path, walking hand in hand until we got to the pasture. Both horses were still there, only a few feet from one another.

Emeline whistled, and her mare lifted her head, then happily trotted over to us. The gelding followed. We mounted up and rode back down the trail in silence. It was a comfortable silence, though. Giving me time to think about how I’d let Rhett know that Emeline and I would be going on a date.

I didn’t think he would have a problem with it, but how would everyone else feel?

Emeline

I was positive that once we got back to the barn, everyone would know Levi and I had kissed. Hell, my lips still tingled, and my heart rate hadn’t returned to normal.

As we rode up, Levi looked my way and winked. I couldn’t help but smile back at him.

Marshall approached us, along with Caden and Lilibeth. When my eyes met hers, she attempted not to grin but lost the battle.

“Trail okay?” Caden asked as Levi dismounted.

Levi nodded to Marshall as he took the horse’s reins. “Thank you, Marshall.”

“Everything was fine,” I replied, sliding off and quickly walking my horse toward the wash station.

“We can take care of the horses, Emeline,” Marshall said with a smile. “I’ve got Tommy here to help out.”

“Are you sure you don’t mind?” I asked.

Marshall chuckled. “It is my job.”

I squeezed his arm. “Thank you, Marshall.” Turning to face everyone, I couldn’t help but notice how Caden was glaring at Lilibeth. “Is everything okay?”

Lilibeth grinned. “It is. We had a bit of a situation earlier, but everything’s fine now.”

Caden made a grunting sound.

I took in my brother…and noticed he was soaking wet. “Caden, why are you wet?”

He shot a look toward Lilibeth, who covered her mouth with a hand to hide her smile, and that seemed to make Caden even angrier.

“She,” he dramatically pointed toward Lilibeth, “made me look like an utter fool.”

“You did that all on your own, cowboy,” Lilibeth retorted, hands now on her hips.
