have to worry about an invitation when she starts talking about wanting a stick in her hands.”
    She glared, getting into kid sister mode. “Who said he doesn’t? No one has ever gotten into my pants… just like yours. The difference is mine is by choice. Can you say the same?”
    Billy chuckled as he moved from the chair. “Just because I don’t talk about my sex life with you doesn’t mean it isn’t there.”
    “Maybe, but I still have more opportunities with people who aren’t related to me.”
    She saw even Mitch laughed at this joke at the expense of small town living. They climbed into the truck and headed to the bar.
     

Chapter Five
    When Mitch saw Moira step off the porch, it took all he had not to scoop her up and kiss her there and then. She was everything you heard about country girls. He never thought, in all his time in the city, that he’d find a woman from the country who could seem at home in a lecture hall and a cornfield. Somehow, Moira pulled it off, and pulled it off well .
    As he watched her climb into Billy’s truck, he almost laughed. She could even make that look elegant and sexy. He wondered how she’d learned to do that. He would have to ask her that some time.
    As soon as they arrived at the bar, he went into action. He wanted to do what he could to get closer to her that night. When Billy went to get the first pitcher, he looked at her.
    “Hey, Moira. Want to play a game of pool? I’m probably worse than your brother but it would be fun.”
    She smiled. “Sure. Cue ‘em up.”
    He did just that, letting her break. He watched the way she bent over, poised over the table. He tried to stay focused on the game but he was a twenty one year old male. Her jeans looked really good on her when she bent over. In fact, he stared so hard, he didn’t even realize when Billy had come back.
    As he poured the three of them a drink, he smiled and said. “Hey, Mitch, you stare any harder and you might burn her pants off her ass.”
    His head jerked up and he felt his cheeks warm and redden. “Shit. Sorry, man.”
    Billy shrugged. “Like I told you at the field… she’s a big girl. I don’t have a problem with whatever. Just treat her right if you guys get together. She deserves respect.”
    He nodded. “I don’t plan on treating her with anything but.”
    Billy handed him a beer. “Good. I think she finally stopped sinking them. Your turn.”
    He turned to the pool table, dismayed to find half of her solids already in the sockets. She sauntered over, taking a glass of beer from her brother. “Your turn, Mitch.”
    He shook his head but went over to the table. He scratched out on the first try. He had been serious as a heart attack when he’d told her he couldn’t play to save his life. When he turned around to head back, he saw that Billy and Moira’s friends had shown up. They were all corn-fed country boys with stained hats and a Skoal ring in their jeans. He saw Brady, who he’d met the night before, give her a hug. He felt the jealousy rise even though she’d made it abundantly clear she wasn’t attracted to him – and never had been.
    Just then, he walked back. “Your turn, Moira.”
    She smiled mischievously as she handed her beer to her brother. “Hold my beer. I need to finish this game so I can beat you next.”
    “Everyone,” Mitch included and laughed. Sure enough, she managed to finish the game. As he watched in wonder, Brady came over, taking a swig from his long neck.
    Nodding toward Moira, who was racking the balls for a game with her brother, he asked Mitch. “Did either of them tell you how she made money in high school until the older guys found out?”
    He shook his head.
    Laughing, Brady told him. “She’d learned to play pool from Red when she was young. She became really good at it too. Well, anyway, she would come in and wager that she could win against these guys, right? Well, she would. Then, of course, being that she was a teenage girl and their
