The handsome one made no attempt to shield his gaze as he
watched her. Her insides quivered in acknowledgment of the offer held in those
glittering eyes. Biting back the sudden desire and frustration, she wiped the
table in front of her a little more vigorously than normal.
Once the last thundering pop sounded overhead, she made her
way back to the bar and locked the taps for the night. A shadow obscured the
tent opening, causing her to look up from her task.
"I'm sorry, sire. No more draughts may be pulled this
eve."
Though only six inches taller than her five-ten-frame, he
seemed to tower above her in the darkened area.
"I don't want another beer."
Inwardly sighing, she found herself somewhat disappointed
that this gorgeous specimen would follow the footsteps of so many before him.
"Oh? Then what would ye like?"
The man's cheeks flushed slightly, redeeming him a fraction
in Callie's eyes.
"I would like to ask you out on a date."
His loafer shuffled in the dust, his unease surprising her.
She didn't figure he would worry about her answer. It took great effort not to
give in and indulger her curiosity about the man in front of her.
"I'm sorry, sire. Thy request may not be granted."
"Not tonight. In two weeks. I'll be back in town…if
you're available. By the way, I'm Simon."
The name didn't fit the slight hint of a Cajun accent she
heard. The inconsistency piqued her interest further. He extended his hand and
she reluctantly put her hand in his. Her fingers tingled with the contact,
sending vibrations throughout her body.
"Callie...sire"
