His cock stirred.

He could picture her trying to squirm, but he would have her spread-eagled and tightly tied.

“I’ll move the side of the blade all over your naked tits,” he whispered, but his decadent thoughts were abruptlyinterrupted by an incoming call from Gino.

“I’m doing your job for you,” his boss exclaimed. “I found her. I know where she’s taking riding lessons.”

“That’s great news,” Paddy exclaimed as the waitress arrived with a bowl of soup.

“She probably spends the afternoons there and returns to the Rutherford estate when she’s done. It’s not like there’s much to do in this pokey town.“

“Are you on your way back?”

“I am, and now we know where she is I want to discuss our plans.”

“Do you want to join me for the fun?” Paddy asked, spying a waitress on her way to his table carrying a plate of steaming pasta.

“Paddy, you know the answer to that question.”

“You’ll be on your way back to Dallas.”

“Correct.”

“Sorry, I have to go. I’m in the restaurant and my lunch has arrived. Will you join me?”

“Probably better not to be seen together just in case.”

“Got it. I’ll let you know when I’m back in my cabin.”

“Will there be anything else,” the waitress asked, her eyes twinkling down at him.

“A glass of your best Cabernet. I’m celebrating.”

“Right away.”

Watching her as she turned and left, he was admiring the sway of her hips when his attention was snatched away by a happy group walking through the door. The restaurant had been quiet, but as they were led to a table he suspected the dining room would soon fill up. Picking up his fork, he twirled the noodles, and wasn’t surprised when the door opened again and a couple entered.

But idly glancing in their direction, he caught his breath.

It was Karen Harper, and she was with a tall, muscledcowboy.

Grabbing his phone, he sent an urgent text to Gino.

“Don’t come here. Karen Harper just walked in the door.”

CHAPTER TWENTY

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Cade glanced at his watch then excused himself and walked across to the bar. As Karen watched him stop to speak with the waitress she assumed he was asking for the bill, but her attention was diverted by an attractive man sitting alone a few tables away. He caught her eye and smiled. Not wanting to be rude she smiled back, but only for a moment before Cade returned and reached for her hand.

“I have a surprise for you,” he said, lowering his voice.

“What kind of surprise?”

“A fun one. Come with me.”

Leaving the restaurant and returning to his truck, he drove deeper into the campgrounds and turned down a narrow track, passing a large sign reading NO ENTRY.

“Uh…are we allowed down here?”
