“Ledger…”
“Ma’am,” I drawled out. “Let me remind you that all a man needs is a button-down shirt, a pair of jeans, some boots and a cowboy hat…” I grabbed mine off the counter, placing it back on my head “And I’ve got all that covered.”
She shook her head, hiding back a smile. “You sound just like your father.”
“Couldn’t think of a better man to be compared to.”
She beamed.
“You know, out of all my boys, you’ve always been my special cowboy.”
I smiled, tipping the front of my hat in acknowledgment.
“Fine.” She smirked. “You win. It doesn’t matter what you wear, Ledger Beckham, you’re still my handsome guy.”
I tipped my hat again.
“Oh,” Chance announced, striding into the kitchen. “Don’t fall for his bull charm, Mrs. Beckham. He’s full of it.”
I opened my mouth to reply but was rendered speechless the second Hazel walked into the kitchen behind him, wearing a fucking clingy red dress that simply accentuated all her curves.
Clearing my throat, I quickly peered back at Chance. “You let your sister out like that?”
“What’s wrong, Ledger?” Hazel questioned, shifting my gaze to her.
“Don’t like what you see?”
I met her eyes. “Don’t poke the bear, Zel.”
Standing firm on her ground, she challenged, “Ledger doesn’t tell me what I can and can’t wear.”
“Is that why you’re moving?”
“I mean, can you blame a girl? I’ve had two bodyguards for most of my life. This is my first taste of freedom.”
“Freedom entails you dressing like that?”
She peered down at her outfit. “What’s wrong with my dress? It fits perfectly.”
Mom intervened. “What my overprotective son is trying to say, Hazel, is that you look gorgeous.”
“I always knew you had style, Mrs. Beckham.”
Mom turned to face me, muttering, “Be nice.”
I mouthed, “I’m always nice.”
“Chance.” Mom’s gaze shifted to him. “Can you move your car into the garage please?”
He nodded. “Sure can.”
After they left the room, Hazel locked gazes with me. Not missing one fucking beat, she enticed, “I see the girls you’re into wearing a lot less than I am.”
Why is she baiting me?
Over the years, Hazel changed the most out of the three of us. She went from relentlessly following us around, trying to be one of the guys, to a woman before our very eyes.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t attracted to her. Hazel was always a pretty girl with her long blond hair and almond-shaped bright-green eyes, but now she was fucking stunning. I’d be blind not to notice she was curvy in all the right places. Her pouty pink lips and petite nose just added to her sexy-as-sin allure.
