breast. “This one,”
she squeezed it, “is Off. And this one…” she squeezed the other one, “is Limits. Put that together and you get what they are telling you.” Her hands dropped. “Now get your cute ass up and put on some clothes.”
He grinned. “I love feisty.”
“Then you’re really going to love me. Now get your ass up, put something on, and stop giving me a hard time.” She wanted to groan the second the words were out of her mouth. Her gaze jerked down his body to that rock-hard erection. “No pun intended,”
she added quickly before she spun away. “I’m going to go retrieve my bag from the car.
When I get back, I want something covering you from your bellybutton to your thighs.”
He chuckled as she walked away. She had reached the door when he called out, “You could cover me from my bellybutton to my thighs.”
She smiled. He was persistent in a cute kind of way. She turned and stared down the hallway at him. “Do you want me to make you hot, cowboy?”
“I sure do.”
She winked. “Then I’ll be right back.” She’d give him hot all right. The cream she used to rub into sore muscles would heat him right up.
1 Chapter Two
“Damn it, that’s not what I had in mind.” River Wind gave her a dirty look, trying to inch away from her.
She grinned. “Man up, cowboy. You got hurt how?”
He glared. “Keep away from me with that shit. I don’t like those creams. I know what they do.”
“It’s just a little white tube. It will help with the swelling and pain. It’s just a little ole cream that is going to help you. You rode a bull, right? Most of Dale’s friends are rodeo idiots.”
His dark gaze narrowed and his lips weren’t smiling anymore. “Idiots?”
“You heard me.” She regarded him with a smirk. “How smart is it to climb onto a wild beast that is big enough to kill your ass if it gets you under it?”
“It’s a sport.”
“It’s insane. Now lie down. I’m a trained professional and I’m certified to give you massages and I’m going to rub this into your knee. Dale told me your history and it’s in your file. I’m sure you’ve had rubdowns before with some of the injuries you’ve sustained.”
“Yeah. I’ve had them in the past and that’s why you’re not getting near me with that crap.” He backed up into the corner of his bedroom with nowhere else to go. “So put it down.”
A blonde eyebrow lifted. “Do you need a pacifier to suck on?”
Amusement lit his dark-brown eyes as they lowered to her chest. “The only nipple I want to suck is either Off or Limits.”
She smiled. “Dream on. Now stop hiding in the corner. Don’t make me come after you. If you think you’re the only difficult patient I’ve ever had, think again. Have you met Dale’s friends?”
“Met them hell, I was raised with them.” He continued to frown. “I don’t want that stuff put on me. It is all cool at first and then it starts to burn. Don’t you have any pills I could take?”
“Well, that explains why you’re ornery the way they are. No, I don’t have pills and the cream works faster. It’s just a little burning sensation at first but then it will help you. I’m good.”
He smiled. “I bet you are.”
Sighing, she tilted her head, staring at him. “Don’t be such a baby and stop with the sexual shit. Do you really want to piss off the woman who is going to put her hands on 1you where you’re hurt? Now quit being such a pussy and man up. Get out of the corner or at least stick your thumb in your mouth so you have the whole two-year-old thing going on for you.”
He took a deep breath, that broad chest of his expanding. “Your bedside manner sucks.”
She grinned. “You just wish I sucked.”
She couldn’t believe she’d said that. Her grin died as she fought back a groan. Her attention managed not to dip to the front of his boxer briefs. She saw his eyes widen a little before they crinkled from his grin.
“That would
