Taming the Texas Tycoon / One Night with the Wealthy Rancher: Taming the Texas Tycoon

Kate rested her head on his shoulder and held on to him with a strong grip. He knew that the attraction between them was mutual but until this moment hadn’t realized just how much that would mean to him.

He just wanted to know what she’d be like in his bed. To know if the woman he couldn’t live without in his work life would also be as important to his personal life. His gut said yes.

“You look fierce,” she said.

“Do I?”

She nodded. “Are you sure about this?”

“Hell yes,” he said, reaching down to open the door to the living room. He walked up the stairs to his bedroom without pausing to turn on a light.

“I’m not,” she said.

The shyness in her voice stopped him. He couldn’t force himself on her. He never wanted passion between them to be all about him. He knew Kate well enough, had observed the changes in her and knew she had doubts about herself.

And he wanted to show her that he loved her as she was…well, loved her body, he corrected.

“I’m not rushing you, Kate,” Lance said. He set her on her feet and led her out onto his private balcony, gesturing to one of the lounge chairs that faced the east and the fireworks.

“How about a red-hot and boom?”

She shook her head. “I had one last year and think I still might be a little drunk from it.”

He laughed. It was then that he realized he was nervous. He knew his way around an oil field and a boardroom but a woman—one who mattered to him—that was an entirely different subject. And Kate had somehow become this woman who mattered to him.

“Champagne?” he asked.

“I’m good,” she said.

“Still nervous?”

“A little. You know, I’ve been wanting to be here with you…like this…for longer than I can remember,” she said.

“Is it what you imagined?”

She shook her head, those long silky curls of hers brushing against her collar.
