Diablo
“Diablo, Nicky kept warning herself. But warnings didn’t do any good now. She kept reminding herself that he was a killer and outlaw, but she saw only the man who’d risked himself for her.
Always watch your back, her uncle had taught her. He’d never told her what to do if a man sneaked up on her blind side and wriggled into places he ought not be.
She went riding the morning after Kane woke up. She knew she must or she would find herself hovering outside his door, wanting to go in. Afraid to go in. Afraid of all those feelings that were eating her up inside.
She rode to her hill to watch the sun tip the mountain, but some of the joy was gone. Her private place was suddenly a lonely place. It seemed to echo with his voice, and she remembered every word he said, every touch, every emotion she’d felt when she was with him, even the humiliation, the anger. She tried to bring both back, but the impact was gone. He had risked his life for her without thought. He was suffering because of her.
