Terry Blaine had had a very tiring day, and she was thankful to be heading home at last. Home to her dear old farmhouse, with its huge front porch and creaking swing, its peeling paint and neat flowerbeds. She thought of the long, hot bath she would take after the supplies were put away, and sighed, knowing it would be awhile yet. Going to town for her weekly shopping trip was always tiring, especially since she lived so far out in the country, and alone to boot, but she wouldn't have had it any other way. Terry was very independent; she'd had to be, ever since inheriting the farm 8 years ago, at 18. Her parents had died in a car crash, leaving everything to her as their only child. She had struggled at first to keep things running smoothly, but had succeeded, determined to keep the home and land she loved so well. She owned several acres that she leased as grazing land, and a few wooded ones as well, that she kept posted, not allowing any hunting. She loved the animals that roamed about her land, and planted a small garden just for the deer and rabbits. They pretty much left her larger garden patch alone because of it.
Terry rounded the last curve of the dirt road, thankful again to have no neighbors nearby. It allowed her the peace and quiet she so loved, as well as the privacy she craved. She knew she needed help on the place, but she loved being alone. The hard work helped keep her fit and attractive, although she didn't worry too much about her looks. She was 5'3", with a petite frame, but very curvy. She had long, auburn hair, that she kept pulled back out of her way in a long braid most of the time, clear, expressive hazel eyes with long lashes, high cheekbones and a heart-shaped face. Her stomach was flat, and she possessed the kind of figure most men dream of. She wasn't interested in attracting a man at the moment, although she was aware that it had been almost 7 months since she'd been intimate with anyone, when she'd broken up with Jake. She did miss the physical side of that relationship, but Jake had turned out to be an arrogant asshole, and she was far too independent for his macho bullshit. He was good in bed, though, and she'd been almost tempted today when she'd seen him to take him up on his offer of dinner, but she knew that it would only send the wrong message, so she'd turned him down again. He wasn't too happy about that, but that was just too bad.
Ah, home at last! Terry pulled her truck into the yard, glancing about as usual, feeling the pride of ownership. She was so thankful that she owned her farm outright, and didn't have to worry about a mortgage payment. She climbed out of the cab of the truck, and carried a couple of bags of groceries to the door, setting them down on the step as she unlocked it. She quickly unloaded all her foodstuffs, getting the cold things put away first, then everything else. She thought briefly of getting out of her jeans and slipping on a pair of shorts to go with her tank top, but decided against it, since she'd soon be bathing anyway. Instead, she headed out to the barn, to check on her stallion, Shadow. She wanted to make certain he was well fed and settled before settling in for the evening herself. As she neared the barn, she could hear him whickering, and pawing at the floor, and she frowned. Shadow was a very calm horse, and for him to be so unsettled, something had to be wrong. She walked into the dim interior, smelling the familiar and comforting scents of hay and horseflesh, but nothing else. Terry made her way over to Shadow's stall, calling softly to him, her voice made even more soothing by the southern accent that she wasn't even aware of.
"What's wrong, boy?" Her gentle fingers stroked his velvet nose. He rolled his eyes, and nuzzled her palm, but still was uneasy. She noticed he kept looking over into a shadowy corner of the barn near his stall, and wondered if a fox or bobcat had come into the barn. She stroked his nose again, and then moved slowly toward the shadows, expecting to see a furry creature. What she did not expect to see was the man crouched in the shadows, his tangled hair falling into his eyes as he peered up at her. Her eyes widened in surprise, as he rose to his full height, now that he had been spotted. After the initial shock wore off, Terry felt fury flooding through her. "Who the HELL are you and what are you doing in my barn?!" Her voice was sharp with anger, and her hazel eyes shot sparks at him, as she pulled herself as tall as possible, her hands balled into fists on her hips
