Forty Four
He grinned at her. “Come on, let’s go make breakfast.” He stood and held his hand out to her.
Kara took the offered hand, but used very little of its strength to pull herself to her feet. She concentrated on her feet when she started walking towards the kitchen, forgetting that she still held his hand.
He stopped her with a crooked smile. “Don’t look at your feet.” He said as he lifted her chin with the tip of his forefinger, never releasing her hand.
She threw hi

Kara woke him again the next morning when she sat down on the bed and tickled his face with a feather she had found on the windowsill of her room. He had stayed out so late the previous night that she had been asleep when he finally came in and his cold dinner was gone this morning. She just wished she could remember what she had done, since she had found her clothes strewn along the hallway all the way into the bathroom.This was the second time she had drunk champagne and the second time she had found her clothes thrown on the floor and all but naked in bed with no memory of what had happened. Perhaps she ought to make a point of avoiding champagne after this. There had to be a reason why Matthew had stayed out so late. Did she say or do somethin

Kara was back at her ranch and she missed the conversations she had had with Matthew. He had only managed to make her love him more. Her days seemed endlessly long without the excitement of knowing she would see him soon. And the silence in her house seemed oppressive, so she avoided it until she could no longer stay outside without raising questions. She would have to automate some things or at the very least get more hands, but she had still not managed to figure out her grandfather’s filing and bookkeeping system. That was probably the next thing she had to set to work on; she could not keep going if she did not know what she had to work with.

James was standing in front of her when she opened the door. He seemed much happier since he had taken control of the men. He was in his element and she wondered why she had not allowed him to be foreman earlier; he had all the character traits. She smiled her welcome, before they went through to her office. He still refused to just walk in like she had suggested so she would wait in the kitchen or living room for him to knock so she could open the door for him.James was watching her intently. He could see she was missing Matthew. They all knew about the situation, it was clear enough. Why these two young people did not sort things out and get together was a question of its own. Her eyes were far-off every time she thought no one was watching. He
A Water Nymph for the Billionaire Forty Eight
Kara tethered her horse at the border and climbed through the fence. She walked a few steps and then went down on her haunches to check the quality of the earth. The soil had good potential, but it had been drained. The land had been severely over-used and it would take a lot of work to get it back to the quality it had once been. But that did not mean that the soil was not good quality. Thankfully it seemed that erosion had not yet set in and could be prevented when the earth was allowed to recover from the abuse. But it did seem like a good buy. She could till the earth and let the land rest through the remaining weeks of the winter with a layer of manure. They just had to kill off weeds for a while afterwards….allow the grass to sprout again and keep the topsoil from eroding with the rains and snow melting and this land could be prime fields for cattle. Hearing footsteps close by, she glanced up and was surprised to find Matthew standing there. She caught her breath for an

As they came close to the buildings, he suddenly looked at the mill and the pigsty. “Kara, what is the mill for?”“The mill? Oh, we use it to grind the manure from the stables and the pigsty for the fields. It’s much cheaper than buying fertilizer. And the vegetable garden seems to thrive on it; more than it did on the bought fertilizer.” She smiled at him.He frowned in thought for a moment and then smiled. “I would not have thought of that.” He stated with amazement.Kara laughed with amusement. “But then your ranch is already thriving. I had to get creative, since I could not use as much money after the men had walked out. You know, less work, less income.”“That’s true, I suppose.” He smiled at her. “Would you mind explaining the process to me after lunch?”“Sure, if you’re interested it’s really very easy.” She smiled and tugged on the reins to slow her horse to a stop and dismounted. “I have a free stable for your horse. He can stay in there until you’re ready to

“Kara…”“Yes?”“Thank you.” What was the hesitation for?“Sure…” She smiled faintly before they ate in silence. Was that hesitation because he had wanted to tell her something? No, she was imagining it. She had fallen for him, and now she was foolishly thinking that he felt the same. She was not a teenager anymore, why did she have these foolish ideas? She had learned long before that life was not a fairytale. Why was she hoping for a fairytale now?Once they had both finished lunch, he automatically helped her clean up. Kara was thinking how easily they fit back into their ways when she had lived with him and she missed it desperately.“So, show me your pig farm.” Matthew teased while she finished putting the last things away.She smiled. “Sure, let’s go.” She answered before she
A Water Nymph for the Billionaire Fifty One
Kara had made an appointment with Brad again for early Friday morning. She wanted to discuss some decisions with him, before she could go to the seminar with Matthew.He showed up in casual clothes at around seven, but she realized again that she had forgotten his later working hours. He looked like he had just got out of bed again and thrown on whatever he could find in his closet. He did not look disheveled, but he did look too casual for work.She tried to compensate by giving him fresh muffins and coffee for breakfast. “If this is going to be my breakfast every time I come here, I’ll be here at seven every morning.” He grinned after he had finished.Kara smiled. “Goodness, you’d think since you owned a company you could afford muffins every now and then.” She teased.“Well, bought muffins could never taste as good as fresh home baked muffins.”“Then

They were completely quiet until they had left the ranch; almost as if he had waited for them to be away from her ranch borders. “I didn’t know you and Brad were an item?” He said quietly.Kara glanced at him, before looking out the window to hide the hope of his returned feelings that she was sure showed in her eyes. Why could she not just get over these feelings she had for him. Obviously he did not feel the same. “We’re not.” She stated softly, hoping that her voice did not give anything away.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him glance at her. “Didn’t know he kissed all his clients goodbye.” He stated coldly.“I’m sure he doesn’t.” She answered emotionlessly. “But I believe he does with his female friends.” What did that have to do with anything? Her heart thought that perhaps he was a little j
