“I can’t seem to get enough of you,” he said through clenched teeth. “Damn. I’m sorry, Doc. I’m coming in for a landing.”
“I’m right there with you.” She panted and moaned his name, and every spasm of her walls clamped him in sweet tightness.
Annie lowered her legs and slowly slid down his body. She laid her cheek against his chest and twirled her tongue around a hard male nipple. His whole body trembled.
“Mmm,” she said. “For a cowboy and a gentleman, you’re an awesome lover, Dallas.”
He knew he had a stupid grin on his face. He couldn’t help it.

“Did Joe say when your car would be ready?” Dallas asked Annie over breakfast.
“No. He probably won’t even get to it until tomorrow. I assume he takes the weekends off.” She petted Jet’s soft head and fed him a scrap of scrambled egg.
“True. Only us ranchers work the weekends around here. I’ll drive you over to the Bay place this morning, and then I’ll take you home.”
“Thanks, Cowboy. You’re a darned cute chauffeur.” She loved teasing him. What was it about this man? “But I need to go home first. I promised Catie I’d take over the rest of the mare’s medication.”
“Not a problem.”
She leaned forward and planted a kiss on his sexy mouth. “I am really glad I met you, Dallas McCray.”
“Me too, Doc, and not just because of the sex.”
“I don’t know. The sex is pretty good,” Annie said, teasing.
“Hell, yeah. But I like you, Doc. You’re special.”
“I like you too, Cowboy.” Oh yes, she liked him. She really liked him. She downed the last gulp of her water. Dallas didn’t have any tea or herb tea in the house, a problem he had promised to remedy before her next visit.
“You still cooking me dinner tonight?” He rose and took his plate to the sink.
“Sure. If you want me to.”
“You bet.”
“Then take out two pounds of round steak to defrost. I’ll bring the rest.” In her mind, Annie began planning an elaborate Italian menu.
“You sure? The grocery’s not open on Sundays.”
“Crap.”
“Small town, Doc.”
“I didn’t think of that. Do you want a rain check?”
“Nope. You can use what I have here. You said so last night.”
“Okay. That’ll work,” she said. “But right now, we need to get over to the Bays’, and then I need to get home. I still have a lot of unpacking to do.”
“Need help?”
“Not that kind of help, Cowboy. If you stay with me all day, do you really think I’ll get any unpacking done? Besides, last time I checked you have a ranch to run here.”
“True. Plus, the rodeo starts up in a couple weeks.”
“Rodeo?”
