“Are you kidding me? This is the best entertainment I’ve seen in a long time.”
I shook my head at Steed, and focused back in on the other Parker brothers, who were all attempting to get the goat.
Paxton was laughing so hard she had to take deep breaths. Amelia stood with her hand covering her mouth. “He’s destroying everything!” she said, trying not to lose it laughing.
“Oh no! The food!” Waylynn called out as they chased Patches.
“I feel like we should help,” I said with a chuckle. “I mean, it is your daughter’s goat.”
Steed was still cracking up, clearly enjoying this too much. Amelia pushed me and said, “Go help before Trevor pulls something.”
“There’s Leroy!” Steed cried out in a laughing fit. He was bent over holding his stomach and pointing to Chloe’s other pet goat who came in unnoticed because of all the commotion and made a beeline for the food.
I made my way over to the long food table. Waylynn attempted to grab Patches by the collar. When she crawled up on the table I stopped and stared. She was crawling through the food, calling out for Leroy. Patches joined in and I swore he sounded like Chloe yelling.
“He’s eating me! Get the beast off of me!” Waylynn said as Trevor rushed over, slipping on food and sliding right past the table. Tripp and Cord threw up their hands and tossed in the towel. I don’t think I’d ever seen anything so damn funny as Trevor sliding under the table on his ass as Patches jumped on it, watching from above, like a king looking out over his dominion.
I whistled and Leroy and Patches stopped. That was something I had started doing right before Chloe and I fed the goats each morning. I’d been trying to teach Chloe to whistle, and it turned into a signal for the damn goats that it was breakfast time.
Leroy looked at me, a piece of fabric from Waylynn’s dress hanging from his mouth as he chewed. They jumped off the table and followed me. Every now and then I’d whistle so they’d stay on track.
As I walked by Tripp and Cord, they glared. “And you didn’t think to do that when they first ran in?”
With a shrug and a smug smile, I replied, “I was distracted by y’all chasing them. I wish I had recorded it.”
“Fuck you, Adams!” Cord said as he turned and headed straight to the bar.
After getting Leroy and Patches back in the barn, I poured them some food and turned to leave. Amelia stood at the entrance of the barn looking sexy as hell.
“You saved the day. Although, had you done that earlier, people wouldn’t be leaving, and Waylynn would have her dress in one piece.”
With a smile, I sauntered to her. “What fun would that have been?”
Her eyes sparkled as a beautiful grin graced her face. “That’s true.”
I stopped short in front of her. “I can’t stop thinking about kissing you.”
Her eyes fell and her cheeks turned slightly pink.
“Same here.”
Taking my finger, I lifted her chin, but she looked away nervously. “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are, Amelia? You take my breath away.”
She rocked back, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at how adorable she was.
When she met my gaze, she inhaled sharply and my chest squeezed. She closed her eyes briefly, and it felt as though time stood still.
I pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. “I would give anything to know what you dream of when you close your eyes.”
Her gaze searched my face. I reached for her hand and laced our fingers together.
“I’m thinking you aren’t real. You’re a dream. Something I write about in books but never truly believed in.”
With a half-smile, I leaned in and whispered against her ear. “If I were to pick my nose or fart under the covers and hold you down underneath them…Would that make me more real?”
Amelia pushed me back with her free hand and laughed. “I guess that means we have to get to know each other. Want to go out on a date with me, cowboy?”
The way she chewed her lip drove me insane. I leaned in and kissed her, pulling that lip into my mouth. My hands gently took her hips, and I pulled her body against mine. The low moan coming from her mouth moved through my body at light speed. After only two of her kisses, I was already addicted. My dick grew harder by the minute. I had to slow this train down before we ended up in one of the stalls with Patches watching.
We drew back from one another. Our chests rose and feel with each rapid breath.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Amelia whispered.
Resting my forehead against hers, I replied, “That is very much a yes.”
With a deep breath, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My mind drifted back to the night before, when I was out riding. The sun had barely begun to set, and I found myself up by the foreman’s house where Wade was now living. Placing my hand on my stomach, I closed my eyes and smiled, remembering…
