meal. "I'd appreciate it, Mitchell. I sure do love Mexican food."
    "You
two follow when you're ready. Dinner is about done. I'll grab you those clothes
and leave them by the door. There's a bathroom just inside the back door you
can use to change." Mitchell disappeared out the barn doors, leaving the
two of them alone. Tension crawled down his back at being this close proximity and
not touching her.
    "You
did fabulous with the mare."
    "All
in a day's work." Her lips lifted in a radiant smile. He forgot
to breathe.
    "I
hope I have the same bedside manner with my patients."
    He
chuckled running his hands down his wet thighs, glancing at his damp clothes.
"A little different I would think. I know I couldn't handle humans as
patients. At least animals can't complain about their treatment."
    "Why
did you want to become a veterinarian?" she asked, handing him a towel.
    "I've
always loved animals of any kind, but especially horses. It's one of the
reasons I settled in Red Rock. I'd love to have some land someday."
    "Have
you ever been married?" She blushed, dropping her gaze to his boots. "Never mind. That's really none of my…"
    "No,
I haven't. Not even close."
    "Me
either."
    "But
I thought…"
    "Thought
what?"
    "Never
mind. It's nothing."
    She
grabbed the spare towel from the low stall door as he stepped closer, running
the edge of the rough material across his cheek. "You've got some on your
face," she whispered. The riot of curls around her face looked so soft. Her
blue eyes burned like the center of a flame. Soft looking lashes framed the
dilated orbs. The whisper of her breath wafted over his lips. His whole body
hummed as her tongue peeked out, wetting the surface
in the most erotic gesture he'd ever been privy to witness. After a moment, she
cocked her head to the side and frowned. "Have we met before?"
    "I…uh."
    "Marcus?
Elizabeth? Dinner is ready."
    She
stepped back as she turned toward the door. "Coming, Dad."
    Once he
shut the stall, he sighed heavily, following behind. Her sweetly shaped ass
wiggled slightly as she walked toward the house. He had to fight with his cock
not to react to the scent of jasmine or her luscious body. When his feet hit
the porch, she held the door for him and pointed to the clothes lying on the
bench.
    "There
are the clothes. The bathroom is through the door there to your left."
    "Thank
you. You're a very gracious hostess."
    The pink
color in her cheeks delighted him and made him edgy at the same time now that
he knew she hadn't really gotten married. Getting involved with her would be
wrong on so many levels. If she didn't get married, it meant she was probably
on the rebound from a breakup. Those types of relationships never last. Not
that he thought of her on a long-term basis. They were too different. He'd
grown up poor whereas he knew by the look of the house and the land surrounding
it, she'd grown up fairly well to do. Yes, he had a thriving practice, but at
the moment ends barely met. He hardly had time for any type of relationship
anyway.
    After a
moment of uncomfortable silence, she dropped her gaze to the floor and he
headed for the bathroom to change. The sooner he could leave the better. The
more time in her presence, the more apt she would be to guess his identity.
    Mitchell
kept up the conversation during dinner as Marcus listened to the two of them
tease each other and laugh. The sound of her laughter made him smile. The
throaty chuckle drew his balls up tight against his groin as his fingertips
tingled to trace her smiling lips.
    "Do
you have siblings, Marcus," she asked, her
attention now on him as she slipped the tines of the fork between her lips.
    "Yes,
two brothers and one sister."
    "Oh,
I bet you all tortured her terribly while you were growing up."
    "Not
so much. We protected her more than anything else. Of course, she says we never
let her have any fun."
    "Where
do they live?"
    "Boston."
    "I
thought I heard a hint of a New England accent. What brought you
