Sailor
Irub my hand up and down Sugababy’s nose before holding out a baby carrot in my palm. She eagerly takes the treat, and I kiss her nose. I have always loved horses. Probably because they don’t talk back or tell me what a disaster my life is. When Hannah and Holden offered me this job, I didn’t hesitate.
“Are you taking on new clients?”
I close my eyes, almost wishing for the first time in my life that I didn’t work here. That I’d taken that waitressing job at Mary’s instead. Who am I kidding? I’m no waitress.
I finally find the courage to turn around and face Logan. I was in his arms last night. I swear I went to bed with his taste on my lips. I will sure as hell never admit it out loud, but I cried out his name as I brought myself to orgasm.
Jesus.My cheeks are flaming as I recall that memory now that he’s standing in front of me. Now that I wonder if he could make me come as hard as I did. What it would be like to have him driving into me.
My thoughts are highly inappropriate, considering his son is standing beside him. His son with Jolene. The woman he married. The woman he chose over me. I remind myself of these things, and it’s like a splash of cold water. Ice cold fucking water.
“Of course.”
“Liam and Quinton mentioned you give lessons,” he explains.
“Dad insisted I have another hobby besides football,” Campbell says, rolling his eyes.
I place my hands on my hips. “So, this was your idea?”
Now his cheeks turn red, and I’ll be damned if it isn’t a turn-on. I don’t want to do this with him again. Don’t want to fall for his charm. His good looks. His…every damn thing.
“I’ve read that horseback riding is good for core strength,” he replies with a shrug.
His response earns another eye roll from Campbell. It’s clear this kid would rather be anywhere than here.
“If you don’t want to take lessons,” I say, motioning up to Sugababy, “I can always give you a job cleaning out the stalls. There’s always work to be done if you want ?”
“Lessons!” he interrupts. “Lessons would be great!”
I laugh. “I’m sure Liam and Quinton would be happy to join you. They’re over at my place if you want to call them. It’s just on the other side of the ranch.”
Campbell nods and pulls his phone out of his pocket as he walks away. Logan slowly approaches me, shaking his head and chuckling.
“I think I would’ve rather watched him clean out the stalls.”
“Oh? Well, that’s your job, actually.”
He tucks in a finger in one of my belt loops and tugs me close. “Is that so?”
I immediately push his hand away, the smile on my face fading as I turn my back to him. “Logan, no. I told you last night I was not going to do this.”
“And I heard you.”
“Then, respect that.”
I’m ashamed of how weak my voice sounds, on the verge of pleading with him. If he were to spin me around and kiss me, I wouldn’t have the willpower to deny him. Wouldn’t be able to stop him again.
“They’re coming!” Campbell calls out, coming back over, and I thank God for his interruption. “Dad, are you going to learn, too?”
“I’ll let you boys have all the fun. I have to work on the playbook. Just come find me when you’re finished.”
“We can walk over to the diner when we’re done, if that’s okay,” Campbell offers.
“Just call me. We’ll figure something out.”
He glances at me once before leaving, and I force myself not to watch him walk away. I don’t need to see the way his jeans mold to his perfect ass. Besides, I already know exactly how perfect his ass is.
