Dave rapped on the door. He could have sent someone else to deliver the message, but with all the hubbub around Nick’s wedding, he hadn’t gotten a chance to see Jarrod for a few days. Riding out to inform him that the newest resident of the Stockton jail had requested the lawyer’s services was a perfect excuse.
Dave’s heart skipped a beat when the object of his desires answered the door himself.
“Dave,” Jarrod greeted with a rakish grin, “what brings you out this way?” He stepped aside to let Dave into the house.
Dave removed his hat and turned to give Jarrod a devilish grin. “Jeb Miller was arrested for drunk and disorderly. Harry wants to throw the book at him and Jeb asked for your help.”
Jarrod shook his head in mild disbelief. “Isn’t that the fourth time this month?” At Dave’s nod, Jarrod took his hat off the rack. “Guess I’d better head in to see him.”
Dave put a restraining hand on his arm. “There’s no rush,” he said slyly. “House seems quiet. Where is everyone?”
Jarrod caught Dave’s intent and his eyes gleamed. “Nick and Emily are on their honeymoon, Silas is taking a well-deserved day off and Mother and Audra took Emily’s sister to a neighbour’s for tea. They shouldn’t be back for hours.” He took a step closer and slid an arm around Dave to grab his ass. “Shall we adjourn upstairs?”
“Lead the way.”
Once safely behind the locked door of Jarrod’s bedroom, they didn’t waste any time in stripping off each other’s clothes. Gunbelt, boots, pants and shirts were thrown into a haphazard pile as they groped each other, hands and lips seeking to devour whatever they could reach. They stumbled over to the bed and Jarrod ended up on top.
“Take me, lover,” Dave insisted. He spread his legs so Jarrod could slide in between and raised his hips to give Jarrod unrestrained access. Jarrod reached over, grabbed some oil from the bedside table drawer and smeared it on his engorged cock. Penetration was swift and easy and soon Dave was clutching Jarrod’s ass, urging him harder and faster until they both exploded in mutual ecstasy.
“Damn, I love you,” Jarrod said huskily into Dave’s ear as their breathing slowed.
“Wish we could warm your sheets more often,” Dave told him as Jarrod lay beside him. “You’ve got an awfully comfy bed.”
Jarrod trailed a hand through the hair on Dave’s chest. “Maybe we can.” At Dave’s quizzical look, Jarrod explained. “It’s going to get a bit crowded around here. Heath and Sharon have their little one, Nick will be living here with Emily…” He shrugged, but there was a smile on his face. “I think I’m old enough to move out on my own, don’t you?”
Dave reached out and pulled Jarrod over to kiss him soundly. “Too bad the place right beside mine was just sold.”
“Was it?” Jarrod’s face was innocent.
Dave chuckled. “How come I get the feeling you already knew that? And how come I get the feeling the buyer’s initials are ‘J.B.’?”
Jarrod kissed Dave back. “I don’t think anyone’ll be too suspicious about two bachelor neighbours spending their free evenings together.”
“I don’t know if it’s going to be easier or harder having you so close,” Dave observed with a grin, “but I’m glad to have the chance to find out.”

Caroline closed the door quietly. She had started to develop a headache and rather than cut her sister’s in-laws’ visit with their friends short, she had just borrowed a buggy to return to the ranch. If she lay down quietly for a bit, she was sure it would go away.
Hearing the click of a latch from Jarrod’s room as she entered the upstairs hall, she suddenly found her headache wasn’t so bad. If she was alone in the house with Nick’s brother, they could talk and she could find out if he was interested or not. He didn’t seem completely put off by her advances, but there was something she just couldn’t put her finger on.
But it wasn’t Jarrod who came out of the door. Caroline quickly ducked around a corner and peered out. She managed to keep her surprise to herself when Jarrod emerged from the room, embraced the other man and she thought her heart would stop at the passion in the kiss they exchanged. She quickly retreated down the stairs and opened the door again, this time closing it loudly to let them know they weren’t alone in the house.
“Thanks, Jarrod, I know Jeb will appreciate it,” came a loud voice from the second floor.
The two men appeared at the top of the stairs.
“Hello, Caroline, what are you doing back so soon?” Jarrod greeted politely. From their demeanour, Caroline wouldn’t have had any indication of the ardour she’d just seen.
Caroline felt her face flush. “I, uh, wasn’t feeling too well and decided to come back early,” she stammered and her face grew warm again.
Jarrod turned to the tall, well-favoured man beside him. “Caroline, I don’t know if you’ve met Stockton’s sheriff, Dave Barrett. Dave, this is Nick’s new sister-in-law, Caroline Lewis.”
“Pleasure to meet you, ma’am,” the sheriff said with a slight drawl. Caroline couldn’t stop herself from thinking what a handsome couple they made and blushed again.
“You too, sheriff.”
Sheriff Barrett replaced his hat on his head. “I’ll tell Jeb to expect you soon,” he told Jarrod and tipped his hat to Caroline as he left.
“If you’d like, I could make you a cup of tea,” Jarrod offered solicitously. “It might help.”
“Thank you.” As she followed Jarrod to the kitchen, Caroline allowed herself a brief thought of how lucky any woman would be to have him in her life. Or man. Not something Caroline had ever considered before, but somehow, Jarrod and Sheriff Barrett just seemed to belong together.
She sat quietly at the table as Jarrod put a kettle on to boil and said, “It’ll be just a few minutes.” She could see the slight tension in his posture and knew now why her pursuit of him had left her with a vaguely uncomfortable feeling.
“I need to apologize,” she finally said.
Jarrod turned to her with a puzzled expression. “For what?”
Caroline shrugged and looked at her hands. “For making a nuisance of myself,” and winced inwardly when she remembered telling her sister that was just what she wouldn’t do. “A lady should let a man know she’s interested and wait for him to give an indication he’s interested back.” She looked back up at him and was relieved to see him relax. “I’m sorry if I caused you any discomfort.”
Jarrod sat down beside her. “Don’t worry about it, Caroline.” He smiled. “You’re a lovely person and any man would be lucky to have you in his life. I’m just…” He sighed and shrugged.
Caroline put her hand on his. “You’re just not available. I understand.”
Jarrod gave her a wary look, but patted her hand nonetheless. He just said, “Thank you,” and rose to his feet when the kettle started to whistle.
“Will you join me?” Caroline asked as he set a cup and saucer in front of her and as he smiled and set out another, she remembered the toast Jarrod made to Nick and Emily at the wedding and silently wished him and the sheriff the same, a long and happy life together filled with health, happiness and to love each other without restraint.
