speak the words.
    “I need a housekeeper who can cook. She does okay at both.” He didn’t particularly like being questioned about the situation. “I’ve been too busy to run an ad. And Teri needed a job temporarily.” Even though he knew it would be best for them all if she moved on, the mention of ‘temporarily’ rubbed him wrong.
    Walker moved away when Seth walked to the four-wheeler. “I can put an ad in the local paper, even one in the Topeka paper. Find some older woman…”
    Seth ground his jaw to keep from yelling at his friend. He didn’t like to be pushed about anything, even a decision that made sense. His last housekeeper had been a grandmother who had tended her business, took care of his needs, and kept her distance from his private life. He’d told Walker that was the kind of woman he wanted around here again. Then he’d shown up with Teri. A woman pretty enough to tempt any man with breath still in his body. A woman who took care of the household chores, but who rebelled a bit against his idea of the proper schedule for things. She could cook okay, but, again, she didn’t like being held to an exact schedule. She hadn’t pried into his personal life and he hadn’t pried into hers. But he’d seen her watching him curiously now and then, seen a hunger in her eyes…sadness, too. Sometimes she seemed far older than in her early 20s.
    He shoved the thoughts aside. “Maybe next week. For now, there are chores to get to. That fence on the north range needs looking at again. We might have to replace it.”
    “I’ll get the work pickup and follow you out there.” Walker sounded disgruntled. He wasn’t satisfied with putting off looking for a more suitable housekeeper, even if he didn’t personally have to deal with Teri. But as he headed for the battered Ford truck nearby in the building, he said over his shoulder, “There’s something off about that little gal. Can’t put my finger on it. But she’s….well…different.”
    Seth straddled the four-wheeler he used for riding his ranges. He wasn’t a horseback-riding cowboy except on rare occasions. Most horses shied away from him, sensed his inner wolf. But a lot of ranchers worked their ranches on four-wheelers or trucks these days. None of his men questioned his preference.
    He pondered Walker’s “she’s different” comment. He’d felt something odd about her, too, from the beginning. With his kind of secrets, he wasn’t about to press her about anything. Especially when his secret would be driving him to take off to stay in the small line shack on the far western edge of his land tomorrow for a few days. Piss poor time to have to leave. Nothing he could do about it, though. He just prayed Teri would stay out of trouble and stay away from Walker. He trusted the man, but with Teri… Mine. As the declaration popped into his head, he frowned. She wasn’t his. Couldn’t be his.
    The disturbing idea only added to the growing urgency within him. Maybe he need to leave today instead of tomorrow.

    Teri rubbed her tender bottom beneath the jeans she’d reluctantly pulled back up. She couldn’t believe she’d actually let Seth spank her. It hadn’t been a pleasant experience, nor was standing in a corner. With her healing abilities, even the slight hint of sting would be fading away shortly. But the embarrassment would stay with her. Turned over his knee, her bare bottom up. What he must have seen! Talk about awkward. How would she face him again?
    Leave. Now. No. She wasn’t ready to leave here yet.
    She looked out the window in her bedroom toward the equipment building where she’d seen him heading. Big, irritating, dominating man. But instead of being disgusted with that description, tingles of excitement fluttered through her. Although he was a head taller than her and twice as big, she liked his size. A lot. Yes, he was irritating when he held steadfast to his rules for running his household…and how she should
