Wistfulness curled through her heart and she wished for the freedom to enjoy the attention of a man.. to indulge in a lady-like flirtation.. to fall in love. Although the wishes weren't new, for the first time, she had someone to weave the fantasy around. She could easily paint a romantic dream of living here with Tyler. But, Lily knew that dreaming about such a life would only make it harder to live with her reality. Yet, she couldn't help imagining him in the pool like this, naked as a newborn babe, yet all man.Debra Holland

In the morning, as we're enjoying a shower together, Cash asks Mikey how long he's been working here." Since I was fourteen."" How OLD are you now?"" Eighteen."" Nice. Are there any other hot guys working here besides you?"" I'm not a prostitute. I'm a ranch hand."" Sorry- I didn't mean-" "It's okay."
