Wild About A Texan. Jan Hudson

СКАЧАТЬ brief fling with Jackson had been a mistake, just as she knew that rekindling their affair would be a mistake. She sensed that although Jackson played the clown on the surface, he was a deeply intense individual underneath. The first time their eyes met, she had responded with a visceral feeling that stunned her. The first time he’d kissed her, she’d gone up in flames. The first time they had made love, she’d been lost.

      Those feelings were still there.

      Jackson Crow was Trouble. She was glad that they would be living over two hundred miles apart.

      Holding a heaping plate of food in each hand, Jackson scanned the room.

      Mitch Harris strolled up. “Lose something?”

      “Yeah.” Ignoring Mitch, his gaze scanned the clusters of people again. Where in the dickens had she gone now?

      “You thought any more about accepting that appointment to the Railroad Commission?”

      “I’ve had other things on my mind.”

      Mitch chuckled. “Yeah, I noticed. Beautiful woman.”

      Jackson glared at his friend. “Keep your mitts off her, Mitch. I mean it. This one is special. If you try to move in on her, I’ll break both your legs and all your writin’ fingers.”

      “I got the message earlier, my friend. Jackson, I really wish you’d take that spot for Bledsoe’s unexpired term. Things are getting backed up over there. I need to make an appointment this week, and you’re my first choice. You’re sharp, and I don’t know of anybody any more fair-minded than you are.”

      Jackson snorted. “You’re laying it on a little thick, aren’t you?”

      “No, I’m serious. You know the oil business backward and forward, and I know you keep up with the other areas that the commission regulates. I think you’d be perfect for the job.”

      “Actually, I have been thinking some about it. I’d have to move to Austin, wouldn’t I?”

      “Be a devil of a commute if you didn’t. Come on, Jackson, it’s not permanent—just till the next general election. I know you like Austin, and remember, we’ve got some fine golf courses in the area.”

      “None of them as good as Crow’s Nest—the first tee is only ten yards from my front door. Austin’s golf courses aren’t the big drawing card for me.”

      “Ah,” Mitch said, grinning, “but we’re soon going to have a drawing card that no place else has. The lovely Olivia.”

      Jackson answered with a slow grin of his own.

      “Tell you what, if you’ll agree to take the appointment, I’ll show you which way Olivia went.”

      “Buddy, you’re on.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
