Novak Springs, Ginnifer was able to let out a breath of relief. It was short-lived, though, when she heard someone behind her say, “Was that Colt Lewis? What the fuck was he doing here?”
Ginnifer turned to find Dallas standing behind her. Sweat was already dripping down the front of his navy T-shirt. It was sticking to him like glue, and Ginnifer had to stop herself from reaching over to peel it off of his chiseled body. Damn the man had a nice chest, and she hadn’t even had the chance to see it bare yet. She licked her lower lip and looked up at him. His eyes were battling equally between lust and anger as he looked from Ginnifer to the departing car down the ranch’s long driveway.
Looking directly into his cobalt-blue eyes, she asked, “Does it matter? He’s gone.”
“Hell yeah, it matters. He isn’t welcome here. Ever.”
“Yeah, I got the memo from Wes and Emma. No worries, he won’t be back. Ever,” she said, sarcasm dripping through every word.
A devilish smile formed on his lips. “Well, since he’s already gone, how about you and I take a break together?”
How did the man jump from being pissed to flirting with her so fast? Ginnifer’s hands curled up into fists. He frustrated her and made her want to hit something. It didn’t help she never did get any caffeine in her system.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Of course it is. Did you ever get some coffee?” A gamine grin settled on his face.
Ginnifer groaned at his mention of coffee. It was already late morning, and it didn’t look like she was going to get her daily indulgence. Damn him, why did he have to remind her she didn’t get any this morning? She would have to make do with a nap and hope for the best in the afternoon. She glared up and let her irritation flow out of her. “I don’t have time to trade barbs with you right now and have way more important things to do. I’m going back to my cabin to deal with Tori. Bye, Dallas. I’d say it was a pleasure, but well—that would be a lie and I try to keep things simple.”
Dallas’s lips curved up into an even more sinful smile. “I’ll take that as a no on the coffee. I was willing to give you a cup. You should’ve taken me up on my offer. It would have been worth it.”
A look of disbelief came across Ginnifer’s face. The man took conceit to a whole new level. “Nothing would’ve been worth putting up with your company any longer. You make me want to scream.”
He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. “I know. I bet you can’t wait until your mouth releases that scream of pleasure only I can give you.”
Her mouth gaped open in surprise. She couldn’t believe he actually went there. Well actually she did; the man knew no boundaries. Oh God, she didn’t know how much longer she could deal with his sexual innuendos. It had been less than a day, and if she had allowed her hormones control, she’d have been crawling all over him the moment they met. She sighed in frustration. If only she had the energy to find out if he could put his money where his mouth was—yeah he would definitely hear her scream. Ginnifer didn’t have time or the stamina to deal with him at the moment, though. She looked over at him and raised her eyebrows, unable to resist saying, “Oh, I can scream right now. You want me to demonstrate?”
His mouth formed a sexy half smile with laziness filling his drawl, “Definitely, give me a taste of what I have in store for me.”
She should have known better than to bait him. Ginnifer rolled her eyes at him. “Never mind. Go play with yourself, Dallas. I’m not here for your entertainment. I’m sure you can find a way of getting satisfaction all by yourself. I don’t have any desire to indulge you right now.”
She turned and started to walk away when she heard him say, “That’s ’cause you’re running scared, Gin. If you want to experience true ecstasy, you know where to find me.”
She stopped and looked back at him
