to live.
    “For me?” He tried not to stare at her. She was so beautiful to him. Her hair was long, dark and silky. Those ever-changing eyes sparkled with wonder, so big and full of love that he wanted to drown in them. And her body… Jenna was small, but delectable. She was a woman, fully grown, so feminine he ached to touch her, taste her. Logan tried not to notice, but he’d memorized the exquisite shape of her breasts. They would fill his hands to perfection and he’d fantasized how he’d cup them, caress them – how her nipples would melt in his mouth. Fuck ! 
    “It’s chocolate…” she teased, as if he might need further incentive to spend time with her.
    “Oh, well, if it’s chocolate,” he muttered, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow. “I’ll think about it. How’s Stormy?”
    “She’s wonderful.” Jenna stood on her tiptoes. Her whole body yearned to be closer, she had to physically brace herself to keep from pressing against him. “We’ve been working on the hippodrome and the back drag. I think you’ll be proud.”
    Logan didn’t doubt it. Frankly, sometimes she scared him to death. But she was one of the most talented riders he’d ever seen. Would he ever get over this fierce need to protect her? “I know I will be.” Seeing his mother approaching, he knew it was time to give Jenna his gift. Earl moved over to join his wife, leaving Logan and Jenna alone – almost. “So, what does an eighteen-year-old want for her birthday?”
    Jenna held his gaze, giving him a mysterious womanly smile. “Oh, I know exactly what I want.”
    Logan took her comment to mean she was aware of what sat close enough to touch. “Good. A woman who knows her own mind.” He held up a key and dangled in front of her. “Happy Birthday, Jenna.”
    For a second or two she stared at the key with seeming incomprehension. His beautiful smile told her more than anything else. He was proud of himself. As always, she’d only had eyes for him. It was only when he glanced back over his shoulder that she finally saw the white Ford pickup parked in the driveway. “Logan? For me?” Her gasp was genuine and full of thrilled shock.
    “Yes, you graduated in May and I told you I’d give you a special gift for your birthday. You can take it to college this fall. It's heavy enough to pull your horse trailer if you have to take Stormy to the vet or anything. But you can’t drive fast and I don’t want you taking any risks…”
    She didn’t let him finish, her emotions and the excitement of the moment gave her the courage to take what she really wanted – a kiss. Stepping right into his space, she clasped Logan around the neck, pushed her body flush to his and covered his lips with hers.
    Shocked, Logan floundered. The object of his forbidden desire was bringing to life every fantasy he’d entertained in the dark of night. His hands raised to embrace her, then fell to his side. He was afraid if he clasped her to him, he’d never have the strength to let her go. Her sweet mouth was caressing his, her lips clinging, her little tongue darting out to tease and tempt. Unable to resist, for just a second, he gave in and kissed her back. Hungrily. Voraciously. Mouth wide open – consuming - kissing her as if his life depended on it. If moments could last forever, he’d preserve this one in amber for eternity.
    Only his father clearing his throat brought Logan to his senses. With great reluctance, he gently set her aside.
    She still had her eyes closed when they parted, and when she slowly opened them, the same hope shown out of them he’d seen the day he brought her to live with them.
    “Logan?” she asked in a soft voice. She wanted, no, she needed to know what he was thinking. That kiss – that kiss had been the culmination of two years of aching and longing. Licking her lips, she sought to preserve the amazing feeling. The man she loved had just turned her world upside down.
    He didn’t know what to say, his heart
