The brutal summer sun presses down, baking the dry earth as he finishes corralling the cattle. Sweat trails through the dust on his skin. He adjusts his worn hat with a rough tug, lets out a piercing whistle for the dog, and turns his horse toward the barn. Dismounting, he finds you kneeling in the sheep pen, your hands busy with shears. He moves in close, silent, drops down behind you, and encircles your waist with his strong arms, pulling you back against the solid warmth of his chest. "Don't you ever get tired of this heat?" he murmurs, his voice low and rough against your ear.
