here, all by yourself. Lambing
season… heck, any season with sheep is a lot of work.”
    Ann smiled. “It’s an
amazing amount of work. Lambing season puts me behind on everything else. I
usually just sleep in the barn, so I’m here for the moms who are having a hard
time with delivery, or the newborns that need special attention.”
    Jason shook his head. “You’re a
tough lady. You’d never know, looking at you.” He caught her look, laughing. He
took a step toward her, pulling her against him, taking her hand. “Look.” He
made a circle of his fingers, placing them around her wrist. His big fingers
easily circled her wrist, overlapping almost to the first joint. “You’re so
delicate looking…so tiny.” His voice had grown soft. “Not that you’re weak…but
there’s something almost fragile about you. But underneath that there seems to
be a core of steel.”
    He held her for a
moment, resting her head on his shoulder.
    “Jason?” She could hear
the hesitation in her own voice.
    “Hmm?”
    “Can I ask something of
you? For you…and for me? If you have nowhere to go after tomorrow, will you
stay here?” Her eyes met his, hoping against hope she hadn’t overstepped her
bounds.
    He looked down at her,
startled. “You want me to stay with you, here?”
    “Yes. I think… if you
want… I mean… I have work. And, well… we… it’s been….” She felt herself
blushing, shook her head. “I’m a writer when I have time. You’d think I’d be
able to say what I mean.”
    Jason was smiling at
her. “Just say the words. We’ll figure it out as we go.”
    “I want you to stay
here, since you have no place else to go.”
    “Why?” His voice was
light but she sensed something else, a question he wanted an answer to.
    “Because I like you.
Because we’re good together. Because I have sheep and you need a job.” Her eyes
met his. “It’s not a charity case, I’m offering you legitimate work. But I’d
also like you in my bed at night… and in the morning.” She felt her blush
deepen. She’d never been so brazen with any man before. “Does that work for
you?” She looked into his eyes, holding his gaze.
    He cocked his head at
her. “Well, ma’am, I think it’s something I can work with. I mean, work is work.
And pleasure is pleasure.” He bent his head, kissing her hard. “And I like
being in your bed. I like it a great deal.” He held her face in his hands. Then
he stepped away, holding out his hand.
    Ann took it, shaking it
formally.
    “Okay then, we have a
deal. I’ll start work tomorrow, finish with the shearing first, start on
whatever else you need done.” He pulled her back into his arms. “But for
tonight, I think we should go back to the bedroom, finish up any business we have
there. Does that work for you?”
    Before she had time to
answer, his mouth was on hers, locked in a kiss. It was a long time before she
broke away, looking up at him.
    She smiled. “I like how
you think.”

Chapter 3 – Please Me, Please
    They fell into a
routine, their lives meshing together. Jason took on the tasks around the ranch
that Ann had struggled with, working long hours mending fences, clearing land
for new pastures, helping with anything Ann needed him to do.
    At night, he was there
for her, holding her, making love to her until she was completely satisfied.
He’d learned quickly what turned her on, what made her hot.
    Jason asked her what
she wanted, talked to her during sex, something David had never done. It was
hard at first, embarrassed her terribly. Maybe it was his openness, or his
youth. It was rare that she thought about the difference in their ages.
    “What do you like? What
can I do to you?” They were lying on her bed, a soft breeze blowing across them
from the open window. She shook her head, suddenly embarrassed. “You can say
it… there’s nothing you could ask for that should be embarrassing.”
    Ann pulled the pillow
over her face, laughing at her own
