“Isn’t my ranch out of the way for your work? I mean, the rest of your jobs today are on the north side of town. Closer to your place than mine. You’ll have to be up and out earlier than you probably want if you stay with me.”
 
 “I’ll be up earlier because I liked how we started off this morning. I plan to do it every day.”
 
 I flushed hotly. How he’d woken up was with meon top of him, then he rolled us over and went down on me until I… yup, screamed.
 
 “Don’t worry about a longer drive. It’s all good.”
 
 “You can drop me back at my place on the way to the MacKenzie ranch because I have to do the afternoon chores, then take a shower,” I directed when he took a turn onto the road that cut south from town. “I have to work tonight.”
 
 “At The Roadside?”
 
 “Yes. I start at seven.”
 
 “You quit.”
 
 I blinked. What? “No, I didn’t.”
 
 “I did it for you the other night.”
 
 “What do you mean, you did it for me?”
 
 “When I went in for your purse and keys, I told Kyle you were done.”
 
 I turned in my seat to face him and yell at him directly. “For the night!”
 
 “For good.”
 
 “I need that job!”
 
 “No, you don’t.”
 
 “Bray. You don’t understand. I have–”
 
 “Bills to pay. I know. You can use Trout’s money that Ellie’s gonna give you. We’ll go over them later and pay them off.”
 
 “I can’t use that money for things that Trout didn’tdo. Like fix my car or repair the spigot behind the stables.”
 
 “What’s wrong with the spigot?”
 
 I waved his question off to stay on topic.
 
 “I need the job to pay for other things,” I yelled, tossing up my hands.
 
 “We’ll pay off the other things with our money.”
 
 “Our?” I blinked. “Our?What are you talking about?”
 
 “You might be carrying my baby, Katie Camden. I bet your panties are soaked now from all my cum dripping from you. I take care of what’s mine. That means you.”
 
 Oh my God, he was right. About all of it. We hadn’t used condoms. I wasn’t on birth control.Andmy panties were soaked with his cum. That didn’t mean he’d use his hard earned money on me. “By paying for my legal bills and having Andy come by to measure for a new window?”
 
 I hadn’t even known Bray had messaged the Feed and Seed owner until he told me he took care of it. While it supplied the ranches in town with everything from farm equipment to chicks in the spring, they also had a reasonable hardware selection as well. It was the closest place without heading to Missoula.
 
 “For starters. Hayes and I are gonna have a littlechat with Conrad Trout, too.” He smiled with what looked like evil glee. “That’s gonna be fun.”
 
 “What if he wasn’t involved in the window being broken?”
 
 “He’s got plenty of other bullshit to answer for and you know it.”
