it.
    Last night had been a huge mistake and there was no way they could come back from it. She made him crazy and he wasn’t sure what to do about it. He couldn’t lose this ranch, that was for sure. They would have to either avoid each other or he would have to find a different surrogate.
    He swore as he beat the dust off of his hat. Thinking about her leaving was too much, it was too hard. She was as much a part of this as anyone else. They had spent hours talking about the ranch and life there. She knew how important it was for him to keep it. If they couldn’t stop this thing between them, she would understand if this wouldn’t work. There was more about it to consider. He cared about her. It was that factor that made him think more about finding a new way out of this situation.
    He remembered how she had looked that morning when he left. She had been wrapped up in front of him and he had slept like a baby, when he pulled away from her to leave it had been the hardest thing he had ever done. He wanted to wake her up gently, slowly and make love to her in the early morning hours of dawn.
    He sat on the chair beside the bed watching her for a moment. She slept with a sleepy smile on her face and her body was perfectly shaped. For a moment he thought about how she would look pregnant and he swelled up with a sense of purpose. She would be even more beautiful then, creating and carrying life.
    Even now, thinking about how she felt beneath him, he felt himself harden. He wanted even more of her than before. He had hoped by crossing this line that he would be able to put her behind him and see her as the surrogate and nothing more. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. He would have to tell her this wasn’t working, He would have to let her go.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter Eleven - Jasmine
                  There was no denying things were different. She felt her heart race when she heard the front door slam closed. Today had been the longest day of her life. She needed to see him, talk to him. They needed to make sense of it all. She waited for him in the dining room and stood when he entered. He brushed past her and sunk down in his chair, not looking up at her. She could tell he was in a mood, but her heart was breaking slightly at his indifference. How could he be so cold to her after the night they shared? She tried to talk to him a few times, but his responses were short and clipped. Eventually she gave up and left the room. She felt the tears well up as she headed to her room. She was a fool. She had given herself to him last night and now he treated her with indifference as if nothing had happened at all. She went out the back door and out onto the lawn. The sun was just setting and she needed the fresh air. She felt him behind her long before he said anything.
                  “Jasmine, we need to talk.” She turned around quickly and put her hands on her hips.
    “Oh really Parker, now you want to talk to me? I tried to talk to you for over an hour and you treated me like I didn’t exist. Now you follow me all the way out here to tell me you’re ready to talk to me NOW! You think the world revolves around you Parker but it’s not just you anymore.”
    She stood there her breath coming in short bursts.
    “I’m sorry Jasmine, really. Last night… well the thing is I don’t know what to do anymore.” He wrung his hands and walked over to a bench in the yard. She followed him. And he continued. “I feel things about you Jasmine, I do… the problem is I can’t.”
    “I watched my father fall apart after my mother died and I swore I would never love anyone like that. Ever. I don’t intend to start that now. I care about you and the truth of it is I want you. Even now standing here looking at you full of fire. I want to pull you in my arms again and take you in my room and make love to you for hours.”
    She took a deep breath. Even hearing the words did something to her and
