He would probably be really good in bed.There was something about the way he moved, so graceful.And she couldn’t stop thinking about the way he ate that sandwich!
But he was a conniving snake.Who knew if he was really offering her sex, or if this was just another trick and he was planning to spend the whole night reading Sarkadian poetry out loud?
“Good night, Luke,” she said quickly before she changed her mind.
“I could see you wanted to,” he said with an evil grin.
“I did not.Bye.”She retreated to her bedroom and closed the door.
Stifling a groan of frustration, Hallie fell on the bed, the familiar comforter with its floral pattern as boring as ever.
Was her life ever going to change?She had never had the kind of heart-stopping sex that people talked about.Every relationship she had been in was just mundane and unexciting.And even those didn’t really last.
Now here was a man offering a good time, and she turned him down.It didn’t have to be meaningful, her instincts urged, why not just do it?
No, things were already much too complicated with Luke.She needed to see if she could trust him even a little bit.
Chapter 9: A Good Ranch Hand
“You are loving this, aren’t you,” Luke stated rather than asked.
He had just been presented with his first task of the day: shoveling horse manure.Hallie couldn’t deny there was a certain enjoyment in watching the “sophisticated city guy” shoveling horse droppings.
“It’s a job just like any other,” Hallie said, making an indifferent expression.“We all do it, and today it’s your turn.”
“Aren’t you going to help?”he asked.
He had received some of his clothes and personal effects in the morning, hand-delivered from the city, and he was wearing a baby blue plaid shirt paired with dark-blue jeans.
Hallie wasn’t sure these fashionable clothes were going to stand up to a day of real ranch work, but they would have to do.
“I’m going to be supervising you,” Hallie said, giving him her most angelic smile.“Making sure you don’t get into any trouble.”
“I’ll help you,” Johnny said, coming over with a wheelbarrow and a shovel.“How much fun was mini golf last night?”
“It was amazing!”Luke crowed, “I never knew a tiny version of golf could be that much fun!”
