jealous.” Courtney leaned against the
side of the couch.
    “I’m jealous of you. Braden Carver is a hottie.” Dana
smiled.
    “I’d have to agree.”
    Dana was probably closer to Braden’s age then Courtney was.
She’d never really stopped to think about that fact she was roughly ten years
older than him. Did that make her a cougar?
    “Did you go to school with him?”
    Dana nodded. “Yup. Quiet guy, but all the girls crushed on
him with those dimples. He never dated though.”
    “I wonder why.”
    “He was always shy, I guess. My friend Taylor did kiss him.”
    Courtney held a hand up. “I don’t need the details.”
    “Sorry. I get carried away sometimes.”
    “I should be home to tuck the little princess in.”
    “Okay.”
    A car door shut out front. He was there. Courtney took a
deep breath, and when he knocked on the door, she let the air out. Swinging the
door open, she almost bit her tongue. Wowzers, he really cleaned up nice in a
white button-down with dark jeans. He held a black Stetson to his side.
    “You look beautiful, Courtney,” he said as his gaze traveled
over her.
    “Braden!” Anna bounded up, wrapping her arms around his leg.
    “Hey there.” He rubbed the top of her head. “How are you?”
    She released his leg. “Good. We’re going to watch a movie
about a princess and a garden.”
    “Cool,” he said.
    He glanced up and Courtney could see he recognized her
daughter’s babysitter. He nodded at her then looked back at Courtney. “Are you
ready to go? I made a promise to get you back here before someone’s bedtime.
Speaking of, what time is that?”
    “Eight,” Anna spoke up.
    “I’ll have your mama back by then. I promise.”
    Courtney smiled. “Don’t make a promise you can’t keep.”
    “Oh, I intend to keep it.” He winked.
    She hugged Anna bye and waved to Dana then followed him out
of the small house. Dinner and a movie, she could do this, even though her
chest warmed like she was having a panic attack. Why am I so nervous? It
wasn’t like she’d never been on a date before.
    Braden opened the truck door, and she climbed in. “Thanks.”
    He was quiet as he closed her door then went around to his
side. He ran his hands along his thighs, and she suspected his palms were as
moist as hers. Thinking back to what Dana had said about him not dating much, she
thought this was probably harder for him than her. Together they would do this.
    “What’s the plan for tonight?” she asked as he backed out of
the driveway.
    “Well, I hope you don’t find it corny, but I knew we’d have
limited time. So, I...uh, packed a picnic and loaded a movie on my tablet. I
figured we’d park someone on the ranch, eat, and watch a movie in the truck
bed.”
    She chuckled, and regretted it when he blushed. “I think
it’s a cute idea.”
    “You do?” He glanced at her.
    “I do. Much better than sitting in a theater. At least we
can talk and get to know each other better.”
    A grin crossed his sexy face, but he was still quiet on the
short ride to Carver Ranch. He turned down a private dirt road that was wooded
with tall pine trees. A few minutes later, he parked his truck in a clearing
where little lights of sun shone through.
    “It’s pretty here.” She opened her door and climbed out.
    “There are a few special places on the property.”
    “How many girls have you brought here?” She cocked her head
as he pulled a comforter from the truck and placed it on the bed of the
vehicle.
    “None, to be honest.”
    “I find that hard to believe.”
    He rolled the blanket out. “I haven’t dated much.”
    She sauntered up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
There was something so innocent about him that excited her, but also raised a
red flag. She had no idea what to do with a sensitive man who wore his feelings
on his sleeve. Now that she was alone with Braden, something stirred inside
her. A need to find out more about him and why he was the way he was.
    Maybe a sweet boy
