this timely rescue, Callie sucked in a deep breath of sincere relief. She was saved. Rafe, and indirectly, Bo, had come to her rescue.
    She turned her face into his chest, unable to hold back her emotions. Rafe’s other arm went around her as she sobbed a couple times.
    “It’s going to be okay, I promise,” he whispered. “Don’t worry about a thing.”
    Callie lifted her head. Several tears dripped off her cheeks and formed spots onto the front of his starched blue shirt. She looked up into his dark, sultry eyes filled with the same lust she’d seen five years ago on the hotel balcony. The kiss she wanted so desperately was likely inevitable. Why fight it?
    One of his strong, square hands came up to cup her face. He brushed half her tears away with his thumb. He kissed her cheek before securing his mouth against hers.
    Supreme gratitude still fresh in her soul, Callie responded in kind. For the second time in less than half an hour, she licked past a man’s lips to taste him after so long without that particular comfort.
    Seemingly unfazed by the fact that she’d just been locking lips with Bo earlier, Rafe poured on his personal brand of seductive charm into the luscious kiss.
    He didn’t so much as kiss her but instead he invaded, overwhelmed, and devoured her.
    Her nipples tingled and hardened. Her pussy gushed freely. Without realizing it, she pushed her hips forward until she encountered his growing cock.
    Rafe tightened his grip. His hips also pressed closer in response to her overture.
    Suddenly breathing hard, Callie wondered what in the world she was doing. While it had been quite a while since she’d been with a man, today was not the day to have sex with Rafe in the barn after he’d saved her life. Especially not after the long, hot hello kiss from Bo only a few minutes ago in the house.
    Bo and Clay were out of sight, but somewhere close. It wouldn’t do for them to catch her kissing Rafe. Or fucking him, which was where her mind currently resided. Confusion over her obvious attraction to two men made her mind shut down.
    Callie broke the kiss and pushed back from Rafe and his wonderful body and amazing lips. Given the right circumstances, she would have loved to be with him. But not today. Not when she had so much at stake.
    She wasn’t willing to pay the debt she owed him with her body. Was she? She glanced at his amazing physique. She closed her eyes and pushed out a long breath of regret. No. He was beautiful, but she didn’t plan to use her body for payment of anything. No matter how magnificent it would feel.
    “I’m so sorry, Callie,” Rafe said. “I let that go too far. I just didn’t want you to be upset. I didn’t mean to come on so strong.”
    “I didn’t exactly stop you right at first.” Callie looked up into his guilt-filled expression. “And then there was the kiss with Bo a few minutes ago. You must think quite awful things about me.”
    His expression darkened for a second. He reached out and pulled her into his arms again. “Please don’t ever think that. Bo and I have a unique relationship.”
    “Does it include sharing kisses with women?” She laughed. But he didn’t.
    His expression softened. He smiled and whispered, “Perhaps I don’t mind sharing you with Bo. He’s my very best friend.”
    “So if I want to go back and kiss him, you won’t be upset.”
    He grinned like he’d just won the lottery. “Not even a little bit.”
    Feeling like they’d stepped into a place she wasn’t stable in, Callie backed off and promptly changed the subject. He let her.
    “Thank you for Delbert.” She crossed her arms as if to protect herself from a man who sincerely pushed all of the right buttons for her sexual satisfaction.
    Rafe didn’t approach, but moved in tandem. He kept an arm’s length away as she moved toward the barn doors. “We’ll see you tomorrow morning.”
    Together, they walked back to Clay’s SUV. She didn’t see Bo, but Clay was closing the
