Chapter 6
As he pulled back, I rapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. When our lips met for a second time Jake relaxed. He snaked his arms around my waist and held me to his hard body.

We broke apart to find Bryanna standing in the doorway with a camera. We both looked down in embarrassment. With a laugh Bryanna continued to the tack room.
"I should probably get to work." Jake said reluctance in his voice as he let me go.
"Who are you working today?"
"I was thinking Lady Godiva."
"Need help?"
"Actually I wanted to see how she did on the range so it couldn't hurt if you wanted to come along."
"Sure. It's either that or stay here and clean." I said with a shutter. As I followed Jake to the tack room I stopped and turned off the radio. When I got in to the tack room I asked Bryanna if I could go with Jake out on the range. I turned to get my saddle to find that it was missing.
"Bryanna, have you seen my saddle?"
"What do you mean?" she said turning toward me.
"My saddles not here."
"Samantha what have we told you about leaving your tack laying around."
"I swear I put it back here last night when I got back from riding." I said looking around the tack room in disbelief. Suddenly I realized that my saddle wasn't the only thing missing from the tack room, "my halter and bridal are missing too."
"WYATT!" Bryanna said shaking her head in disbelief.
My dad walked into the room carrying his own tack, "what is it dear?" he asked putting the tack into its place.
"Your daughter has misplaced all of her tack." She said to her husband.
"Samantha Ann, you better find it and fast. We do not have the money to just pick up a new saddle and bridle for you when ever you forget where you placed yours."
"But dad I set it right here when I came back from my ride last night I swear it." I said begging that my father believed me.
"I don't want to hear it Samantha, now go look out in the yard or barn and see if you can find it or you'll have to pay for your own new tack" he said sternly.
I slumped my shoulders as I walked out of the small room. I know I put my tack back in there last night. I told myself as I walked out of the barn to look over by the coral to see if I had left it there. What I saw stopped me dead in my tracks.
