with Colt.
    Mace had been a gracious host and constant companion, all the while never giving up on seducing her. And as much as she had fun joining in their outrageous flirtation, she didn’t let it go any further.
    She liked Mace, found him very attractive, but a part of her held back and she wasn’t sure why. She didn’t feel guilty not indulging with Mace because the rule between her and her cousins was “If he trips your trigger, go for it”. Mace made her laugh and her ego soar but something was missing…oh yeah, the tripping of the trigger part, she thought with a smirk as she put one hand against the wall while reaching with the other in one last attempt to retrieve the grooming brush.
    “Here, let me help ya.” Strong hands came around her waist at the same time the man spoke. His hard chest pressed against her back, causing her to freeze and her heart race.
    He smelled so good, like faint cologne and leather. God, he smelled of leather ,she thought as he easily lifted her so she could retrieve the brush. The smell of leather was the ultimate turn-on for her. Sabrina quickly grabbed the brush and waited for the stranger to set her down so she could see his face.
    Instead, he lowered her slowly to the ground as he said in a low, husky voice, its deep timbre skidding down her spine, “I don’t think I’d ever be allowed on this property again…” He paused and let go of her waist with one hand so he could push her heavy braid away from her neck as he finished with a whisper in her ear, “if Colt knew the impure thoughts running through my head right now.”
    Sabrina’s heart slammed in her chest at her reaction to this man, a man she’d yet to see, a man who had the hots for Elise, big time!
    As she started to speak, the man set her away from him saying in a gruff tone, “I’m sorry, Elise. I shouldn’t have said that.”
    Sabrina turned around, saying, “Well, I guess it’s a good thing I’m not Elise, so those impure thoughts can just stay between you and me.”
    When she let her gaze scan the man’s six-foot tall form, the first thing that came to mind was definitely impure thoughts… Did he ever trip her trigger…wow!
    Trim, jean-clad hips, a silver and gold buckle, a black T-shirt that fit his muscular physique very well, broad shoulders and the sexiest, square jaw she’d ever seen. But what made her body jerk to attention was the intense look in his arresting teal green eyes, before his expression shifted to surprise. Man, she’d love to have him look at her like that! Well, technically he did, but he thought she was someone else.
    His straw cowboy hat hid his hair color, but from the color of his eyebrows, she’d say his hair was dark blond.
    He quickly swiped his hat off his head as an embarrassed expression crossed his face. “I’m sorry, ma’am. Please forgive—”
    Ohmigod, he had the sexiest wavy dirty blond hair she’d ever seen! She interrupted him before he could finish. “Impure thoughts are only bad if they aren’t returned.” She followed her comment with a devilish grin.
    His regretful look changed to surprise at her statement. Then a broad smile spread across his face as he put his hat back on his head and held out his hand. “I’m Josh Kelly. My family owns the neighboring Double K property next to the Lonestar.”
    Sabrina shook his hand. “Nice to meet you, Josh. My name is Sabrina Gentry. I’m a college friend of Elise’s visiting for a couple weeks.”
    Josh’s grip was firm and once he shook her hand, he didn’t let go, but instead ran his thumb slowly across the soft flesh between her thumb and forefinger as he spoke. “Are you from Virginia, too?”
    She looked down at their hands, mesmerized by the seductive movement of his finger across her skin and the tingling sensation it caused to slide up her arm. Blinking to clear her head, she met his gaze once more.
    “No, I live in Arizona.”
    “Ah, so you’re used to the heat, then.” His Texas drawl
