been in not wanting to see Rafe since that one amazing time. Five years later, Rafe looked good enough to eat whole. She’d been thinking about how to steal a kiss from his perfect lips when she’d slammed into Bo.
    And then she couldn’t think anymore. Strangely, Rafe didn’t seem even remotely annoyed or flustered by Bo’s exuberant kiss.
    The four of them exited the house, crossed the covered porch, and they split off as Bo and Clay went to Clay’s SUV while she and Rafe headed to the barn.
    “You don’t have to answer, but is the reason we never saw each other again have to do with your past with Bo?” Rafe asked quietly.
    “How astute of you. Yes. The main reason. Are you upset with me?” Callie had many other reasons, like the work at the ranch and her secret art passion, but her first thought had been of Bo.
    “Nope. Not even a little bit. We were very good together, but I have slightly more exotic tastes, and at the time I wasn’t looking for anything permanent.”
    Callie nodded in understanding. “At the time, neither was I. When you said you ran the Double R Ranch, I decided it would be best not to prolong things.”
    Rafe laughed. “I drank way too much and was eternally grateful for the note you left me.”
    The memory of their first time together slid into her brain. They were sitting in patio chairs on the balcony of his hotel room. She had straddled his chair and kissed him first. He put his hand down her pants. She stopped him because they were essentially out in public, but he continued because he felt the venue made any sex between them in public all that much more exciting. He was right. It had been amazing. Before she came that first time, he leaned her against the railing and put his head between her legs. She remembered being seven stories up with her ass facing the parking lot. Additionally, she had a man’s head between her legs licking her clit to distraction.
    The experience had reminded her of being with Bo. He loved outdoor sex. The very idea of being caught in flagrante out in public apparently pushed all his buttons.
    Callie wondered if that was what Rafe meant by more “exotic tastes” in reference to their sexual appetites.
    But they arrived at the barn and she was introduced to Delbert.
    She explained her dilemma, and while Delbert wasn’t sure he could take care of her entire herd himself, he promised to do what he could and told her he’d bring along a few other hands that could help.
    “I have two catch pens set up, a cryogenic freezer with all the straws of semen I’ve purchased to use, and now all I need is someone with the skill to inseminate my cattle.” She smiled and Delbert smiled in return. Before he could speak, Callie asked, “How much do you charge?”
    Delbert squinted and looked at Rafe who answered, “Actually, he works for us. We’ll pay his regular salary and you and I can work out the finances later on.”
    Callie was often very proud when it came to money. On a normal day she wouldn’t have settled for an ambiguous financial arrangement for some indeterminate time later. But today was nowhere near a normal one.
    “Thank you, Rafe.” She turned to Delbert. “And thank you. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this.” She shook his hand and he actually blushed.
    “No problem, ma’am. I’ll come over tomorrow first thing and do what I can.”
    Rafe slapped Delbert on the back. “I’ll come with you tomorrow so we can figure out what needs to be done. Gather along anyone you think can help, okay?”
    “Yes, sir, Mr. Latimer. Happy to.” He excused himself.
    “I can’t afford to pay you right now. But I swear I’m good for it.” Callie did several quick calculations, feeling confident she’d be okay to pay them back in a timely fashion.
    Rafe put his arm around her and squeezed. “I have no doubt. We’ll iron things out tomorrow so you will feel comfortable with the process and the financial issues.”
