Roz Denny Fox - A Baby On His Doorstep

His cell phone rang. Picking it up off his tray where the nurse had set it, Rio saw the call was from JJ.

“Hi, buddy. How goes everything at the ranch?”

“Funny, I’m calling to ask how it goes at the hospital.”

“Some better.” Rio launched into telling his ranch hand all he’d learned.

“So, you think you’ll get to come home next weekend? Then you’ve settled on hiring yourself a home nurse?”

“I haven’t decided. Why?”

“Well, now,” JJ drawled, “Binney Taylor came out to take a gander at the ranch. She’s some looker, boss. Tag liked her so much if she’d been a burglar he’d have invited her in and showed her the silverware.”

“Binney drove out to the ranch?”

“Drove isn’t the right term. Not only is the lady damned pretty, but she rides a Harley like a pro.”

“She what?”

“You got hearing problems? The gal showed up here astraddle of a big old hog. She won over your dog, who usually bares his teeth at strangers. Oh, and before she left she said you have a nice ranch and it wouldn’t be a hardship to work here.”

Someone came into his room and removed his lunch tray, but Rio didn’t acknowledge her. His brain had stalled out picturing the tall slender nurse with soft, soft hands and gorgeous eyes, riding a motorcycle. He then imagined her legs clamped around one of his horses. That image quickly morphed into one where, whole again, he reclined in his king bed, and those same long, luscious legs straddled his hips with just the right amount of pressure.

“Rio, you still there?” JJ whistled into the phone.

Barely managing to say “Yeah” in gruff tones, Rio reined in derelict visions he chalked up to pain and forced inactivity. “Listen, I’m gonna have to call you back later, JJ.” He hit disconnect and willed away the all-too-enjoyable snapshot lodged in his head.
