“Holy hell, what a man,” she whispered as she watched him leave, and her eyes strayed to his ass in those tight jeans.Wow!

Ainsleigh walked in and Celine chuckled as she saw her staring at Killian as he held the door open for her before touching the brim of his hat again and walking off.

“Oh my God, who is he? I’ve never seen him before,” Ainsleigh exclaimed.

“His name is Killian Doyle, and he’s a new livestock agent here,” Celine replied as she stared at the card in her hand, with a smile. She ran the tip of her finger over his name.

“He’s gorgeous,” Ainsleigh remarked.

“I totally agree,” Celine replied dreamily. She was glad no one else knew how they had met. They would think she was crazy for kissing a stranger like that. But she couldn’t deny the strong attraction between them. “And you kissed him,” she murmured.

Ainsleigh frowned. “Huh?”

“Oh, nothing... just talking to myself,” Celine blushed before sighing as more customers entered the shop. All she could hope for was that Killian was right about seeing her again.All you have to do is call or text.

Killian strode down the sidewalk with his coffee, nodding at the people he passed as he walked to the office. Crossing the street, he sipped his coffee, and touched the brim of his hat when a woman smiled at him.

There seemed to be a lot of beautiful women in the area. He glanced over his shoulder at the coffee shop and grinned. Celine was a very stunning woman he hoped to know better, but if she didn’t get in touch with him, he’d stay away.

Entering the building, he strode through the lobby, and punched the button for the elevator, then entered when the doors opened. As they were about to close, a hand reached in to stop them, and Killian immediately hit the button to open them. He grinned when Agent Caysen Anderson stepped inside.

“Hey, Killian. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. I didn’t see you or I would have waited.”

“It’s fine. I came in the side door.”

“It’s going to be a hot one today,” Killian said.

“And yet, you’re drinking hot coffee,” Caysen teased.

“Man, it could be a hundred degrees, and I’d still have my coffee.”

Caysen chuckled. “Did you have breakfast atthe diner?”

“I wanted to, but it was so packed there was no place to sit.”

“Your loss.”

“Hell, I know. But I went to the coffee shop down the street.” Killian held his cup up with ‘The Everyday Grind’ printed on it.

“Yeah, they have great coffee too.”

“Not to mention, a beautiful owner.” Killian grinned.

“Ah, now I see.”

“It was my first time there.”

“Oh, so I don’t see.” Caysen laughed.

Killian chuckled. “It won’t be my last.”

“I’ve been in a few times, but I don’t know the new owner. I know the previous owner, Chelsea. She’s Eli’s sister.”

“Yeah, I found that much out. Are you married, Caysen?”
