'Denise.'" Marcy huffed. "I stared at her in the mirror," she pointed at herself as if reenacting, " Marcy . My name is Marcy ." She rolled her eyes and grabbed a pair of pants from her suitcase. "She didn't like her new hair color and then she slapped me and that was that. I packed up my tools and walked out."
    Ramon doubled over, laughing hard.
    "It's not that funny." Marcy kept her eyes on him, watching until he calmed down.
    "I think it is." He grinned. "So, would you cut my hair?"
    "Sure. But it looks fine to me."
    "It's just long enough to annoy me right now. And I don't have time to go to the barber shop." He snorted. "I was supposed to get it cut last week before Armando's wedding but I didn't."
    "Okay. I didn't bring my tools with me but I guess I can find a beauty supply store tomorrow."
    Ramon nodded. "All right." Then his lips parted in a massive yawn. "Well, I gotta get some sleep." As he stood, he gave her body a lingering glance, then met her eyes. "If you need me for anything , remember, I'm just on the other side of that wall." He pointed behind him.
    "I'll definitely remember that." Was that a thinly-veiled sexual advance? And did she want it to be? She held his gaze for a moment, unable to think of a better response.
    But then Marcy thought of something she heard him say in the kitchen when they were introduced. She said, "And by the way, thank you for letting me stay in your house. I'm sorry they kept me a secret. For the record, I'd be pissed if I were you."
    "I am, a little. But not at you. It wasn't your fault." He shrugged. "Sorry to hear about what happened to your company. I can relate to that. But I'm glad you found a job, however temporary it is. I hope this'll be good for you."
    "Yeah. Thanks."
    He looked into her eyes like he wanted to say something else, and suddenly extended his hand. "It was nice meeting you."
    She took his hand, unprepared for her body's physical reaction to his rough fingers. "Likewise." An odd, sensual quiver started where his skin touched hers, radiating all the way down to her toes.
    "I'll be lookin' forward to that haircut." Ramon let go of her hand and calmly left the room.
    Marcy waited until she heard his door shut, then she sat on her bed, dumbfounded and wondering what the hell just happened.
     
     

     
     
     

Chapter 4
     
     
    Ramon whistled happily to himself when lunchtime came the next day. His pulse quickened, hopeful he'd see Marcy in a few minutes.
    Suddenly, he understood why Henry hooked up with Elsa. Also, dare he say it, why Henry hooked up with Mama. Ranching was a lonely life, but even if he wasn't lonely, it would be difficult to resist a woman like Marcy.
    She was so lovely and lively. Vibrant. Soft. Hopefully she'd be okay with a no-strings-attached relationship. He'd love to have her as his little plaything for the next few weeks.
    But he surely couldn't offer her more than that.
    More than anything, Ramon was determined to keep his attraction a secret lest Patty and everyone else try to insinuate there was more going on.
    He'd thought of Marcy practically every minute since he went to her room the previous night. She'd surprised him. So bold. So quick with a comeback.
    Mmm. A feisty little thing.
    But… shit. Maybe she was a tease. Hell, maybe it was all a trap. Maybe Cara hated him enough to plant Marcy there to see if he'd hit on her to use it as a reason to get Victor to leave…
    Nah. That seemed pretty far-fetched. She was flirting with him.
    Ramon often used his lunch hour to socialize with the guys in the trailer where they ate, but not today. He was well rested and wanted to see her again with a clear head instead of his usual exhaustion.
    He was on the back porch, taking off his dirty boots, when his phone rang.
    It was Armando.
    Why the hell was he calling from his honeymoon? Surely, it wasn't about Henry.
    Ramon answered the phone with a snicker. " Pendejo . Four days of marriage. She kick you outta bed already?"
    Armando laughed
