…Kim stood back, hands on hips. "I need to learn to do that."

J.D. shrugged. "You will. But you won't be much good to me with a sore back." He positioned the saddle and went around to the other side of the horse.

Kim reached under Stormy's belly as J.D. passed the girth strap to her. Uncertain what to do next, she waited while he came back around.

"Okay," he said, stationing himself behind her. "Now fasten it."

Kim fumbled nervously. He stood close behind her and a little to the right. She could feel his breath on her neck and the heat of his body almost touching her. Concentrate, Kim. He's only a man.

She finally managed to free the leather tie with one hand, while still holding the girth with her other.

"Okay, good. Now thread that through the buckle on the end."

His voice was gentle and patient. She tried to ignore his closeness. Eventually she succeeded in following his directions.

Before Kim could ask what to do next, his arms came around her. She stifled a gasp and bit her lip. Though callused and hard, his large fingers were gentle as he helped her thread the strap through the loop and back around.

When they finished, his hands lingered over hers. Her heartbeat took off like a herd of stampeding horses. She swallowed hard and glanced over her shoulder.
