wanted to be with Ethan.”
    She giggled. “I did. But that’s all changed. I…we would be a great couple.”
    He leaned forward so that he was within kissing distance again but he didn’t kiss her. “I think so, too.” He said before touching her lips with his once more. He pulled back slightly and whispered, “Does this mean I have to pay for my English tutoring now?”
    She threw back her head and laughed before throwing her arms around his neck and squeezing him tight. She put her lips against his ear and said, “Oh, you’ll be paying for them all right.”
    He laughed with her and shook his head. “Oh Lord, what have I gotten myself into?”

WESTERN BILLIONAIRE Romance - A Heart in Trouble
    I tried to avoid looking at the clock.  It always seemed to make my shift pass slower when I knew the time.  Instead, I surveyed the grocery store for any customers that may come my way and found none, really.  Working in the wee hours of the morning would do that I suppose, but it made every night drag on almost unbearably. 
    My book that I had brought with me wouldn’t last the entire night and I was hoping to save it until later so I could finish on the bus ride home.  But, it was an indulgence I couldn’t avoid, so I picked up the small paperback and committed myself to a couple hours of reading.
    “Ahem…” I heard from behind my register. 
    I looked, assuming it was my boss, and I wasn’t wrong.
    “Cassidy, I know it’s a boring night, but could you at least make it look like you’re doing something?  If it stays this slow then I’ll have to send you or Margaret home.”  He said while pushing his funny little glasses back to the crook of his nose.
    “Understood,” I said with a sigh while replacing my bookmark and book.  The windows looked a bit dirty, so I snagged a nearby bottle of window cleaner and a rag and begrudgingly trudged toward the new task.
    As I passed, I shot Maggie a glance of utter boredom and desperation. 
    “If I didn’t need money, Maggie, life would be a lot easier.  And, I wouldn’t have to deal with cleaning windows when my degree says I should be designing buildings.”  I said in passing.
    “If I didn’t need money then I probably wouldn’t be sober right now.”  She replied.
    I giggled and continued for the entrance.  The doors parted, and I walked through in a regal manner.  I pretended they opened just for me; closing my eyes to imagine the court waiting for my grand entrance.
    Then I bumped into him.
    “Excuse me,” I said, “sorry, I didn’t mean to-“
    He was, unfortunately, gorgeous and the klutz that I imagined myself as made me blush in embarrassment.  His face was rugged, and square jawed with a tousle of light auburn hair poking from his weather beaten cowboy hat.  What caught my notice the most were his perfect blue eyes, gazing down at me.
    He stifled a laugh and I knew my chances were pretty nil on him asking me out on a date. 
    “So, do you like to walk with your eyes closed often?” he asked, a bit of an accent slurred from his tongue.  He must be a southerner judging from the hat and the accent. 
    “Well, a queen doesn’t need to watch where she’s going,” I responded with a devilish grin.
    “Queen, eh?  Well, your majesty, do you think you could help me with some shopping?  I’m a bit new ‘round here and I’m sure a Queen would know these parts best.”  He replied.
    “Oh, of course!” I struggled out, “One moment.” 
    I threw the rag and the bottle of cleaner to Maggie, while mouthing the words, ‘so hot’.  She nodded and couldn’t help but laugh.  I straightened my hair and clothes a bit and returned to the stranger.
    “Right this way,” I said.
    He offered out an arm, which seemed like a bit of an odd gesture, but I gladly maneuvered to his side and hooked my arm under his. 
    “Alright, so what are you looking for, mister …?”
    “Harris, John Harris.  Glad to meet you, for
