got you. You just let yourself go.”
    Gabby held out for a few more strokes of his fingers, then she convulsed around them, her whole body shuddering in pleasure.
    Cooper continued his pace until she drooped back over his knee, her body spent, tiny aftershocks twitching on his finger.
    He withdrew his hand and lifted her to sit on his lap. She clung to him as he cupped the back of her head and kissed her tenderly. After she calmed down, he stood her up in front of him and leaned down to plant a kiss just above her sex, then he reached down to pull up her panties and then shorts. When he’d refastened her shorts, he hugged her hips and pulled her toward him.
    He reached around to cup her bottom, and she said, “My pants are still wet.”
    He chuckled. “Sorry, baby.”
    She ruffled his hair. “I’m not complaining a bit.”

    As they left the barn, they saw a trail of dust coming up the driveway indicating a visitor. Gabby’s heart sank when she recognized Susan’s cherry red Dodge Ram pickup truck. Gabby flushed red at Susan’s smirk when she eyed Gabby’s wet and grubby clothing, but Cooper tucked Gabby into his side. He looked down and smiled. “What’s up, SueBee?”
    Susan said, “Mother and Daddy are throwing an ice cream social out at the ranch next weekend, and we would love nothing more than for y’all to come.”
    Gabby stiffened and started to stammer excuses, but Cooper squeezed her tightly in warning and looked at Susan. “We’ll be there, Sue. Count us in.”
    Susan gave Gabby another smirk. “Good, good. Mother will be glad to see you. Well, gotta run. Million things to do.”
    As Susan drove away, Gabby wrestled away from Cooper. “I don’t want to go, Cooper.”
    Cooper held up a hand. “It’s a perfect opportunity for you two to get to know each other, and it’s a perfect opportunity for her to see us as a couple.”
    Gabby shook her head. “I don’t want to go. It’ll be torture.”
    Cooper put his hands on his hips. “Eating ice cream is torture? Now you’re just being melodramatic.”
    Gabby crossed her arms. “I can get ice cream at a store.”
    Cooper took his hat off and wiped his brow. “You’re going, Gabby. Get used to it.”
    Gabby tightened her jaw. “I don’t have to like it.”
    Cooper dusted his hat off on his leg. “Well, you can damn well make yourself miserable if you want, but you’re going.”

Chapter Seven
     
     
    Gabby awoke on the day of the ice cream social dreading everything that was to come. She didn’t want to go. She didn’t think she could be nice to that woman and had no desire to deal with her snide remarks all day long. Plus, she was just plain angry at Cooper for insisting she go, even though he knew how difficult it would be for her.
    She thought about the day ahead of her and covered her head, but Cooper came into the bedroom. “Come on, honey. Time to get up.”
    She tried to roll over, but he grabbed her blankets. “Uh uh, Gabby. Lots to do today. Time to get up.”
    Gabby grumped and tried to roll over, but Cooper pulled the covers off of her. She sat up then. “I don’t want to get up yet, and I’m an adult who can make that decision.”
    Cooper froze and glowered down at her. Gabby gulped but tried to cling to her bravado. Cooper said with silky softness, “Get out of bed… now.”
    Gabby hesitated only the briefest of moments before she rolled off the bed, on the other side of course, and stomped toward the bathroom. She tried to sidle past Cooper, but he caught her arm and swatted her bottom before letting her go with a push to get her going. “Lose the attitude, Gabby.”
    Gabby sulked all the way through her shower and her jerky motions caused her to get soap in her eyes. When she tried to get dressed, the button on her shirt fell off and her shoelace broke. She went downstairs and started slamming around the kitchen trying to make breakfast. Nothing she did worked out right. She dropped the first eggs, then
