“Maybe I do.” She went over to Wyatt. “What’s up, grumpy?”
He scowled at her. “I’m not grumpy. I’m just tired. I’ve been in the barn all morning.”
“Aw, okay.” She rubbed his shoulders. “You should meet Eloise and Arya.” She nodded toward the couch where the two guests were sitting and watching Sadie.
I could guess what they were thinking and feeling because I felt the same way. It was clear that all the brothers adored her. I was a little jealous of her relationship with them. I was positive that every single one of them would kill anyone that tried to harm her. She must have felt like the most protected and loved woman in the world. But it didn’t make me hate her, because even though she was gorgeous, she was also the warmest and sweetest woman I’d ever met. If you looked up genuine in the dictionary, you would see her face.
“Hi, Eloise and Arya.” Wyatt nodded. “Friends of yours?” he asked Sadie.
“No, they’re friends of Beau’s.”
“Oh, okay.” He shrugged. “Sadie, come with me real quick?”
“What for?”
“I need you to massage my back. I’ve got some knots I really need to get out.”
“Fine,” she said, rolling her eyes. “But you really do need to get a professional masseuse at some point. My fingers hurt.”
“They’re fine. Excuse us, everyone.” He grabbed her arm and almost dragged her out of the room. I stared at them as they exited, and when I turned back to focus on the room I was in, I realized Chet was next to me.
“You think they’re going to bang, right?” Chet grinned. “But nope, she’s really going to give him a massage. I’ve never seen two more clueless people before in my life.”
“It seems like everyone in your family thinks they should be together.”
“If anyone else even tried, Wyatt would kill them.” He laughed, his light blue eyes dancing. “So, you’re entertaining Beau’s friends?”
“Um, yeah.” I nodded. I wanted to say, “Those aren’t his friends. That’s his baby mama and kid,” but I knew it wasn’t my place to drop that bomb.
“Would you like anything?” He looked at Arya and she shook her head, not even looking at him. “Well, okay then.” He shrugged. “I’m going to go have a shower. I’ll see you later, Olivia.”
“Yeah.” I nodded. “Bye.” He walked out of the room.
I continued to stand there, awkwardly staring at Arya and Eloise.
“Is that your boyfriend?” Eloise asked me.
I walked over to the couch so I could sit down. “No, he’s Beau’s brother.” I chewed on my lower lip, not even sure what to say next. “My best friend, Lucy, is marrying Austin, who’s another one of the brothers. I just came to visit her. I’m from New York.”
“Nice.” Arya looked faintly impressed. “That’s cool.”
“It’s okay.”
It was weird. I usually raved about the city, but being here in Montana was having a funny effect on me. I was finding that I actually quite liked nature and quiet. But maybe it wasn’t really nature that I was falling for. Maybe that had to do with a certain hot cowboy who was about to find out he was a daddy.
Would he want to get back with Arya? It seemed like he hadn’t even known who she was. They must have had a one-night stand or something. Jealousy stirred within me, but I ignored it. It was before he’d ever met me. But what would happen between them now?
“Are you hoping to get back together with Beau?” I asked Arya lightly, trying to act nonchalant. I didn’t want her to know how much I cared about her answer.
“Uh.” She blushed and looked away.
“He’s single, if you were wondering.”
“Look, I . . .” She sighed. “This is an awkward situation. I don’t know what to say.”
“He’s a good guy. I’m sure he’ll do right by you.” As I said the words, I knew them to be true. Beau Hamilton was a standup guy. There was a reason why he was the most eligible cowboy in Montana. He was a bit of a grump, but he was honest and sweet and hot. And he was hung—oh boy was he hung—but I needed to stop thinking about that now. I wasn’t going to tell Arya that I’d had him in my mouth the night before or that we’d been naked together.
I could feel my face growing red. This was too much. What had I gotten myself into? Why did I always have such bad luck with men? As soon as I met a guy I thought I might like, a baby mama showed up. I’d have no luck if it wasn’t for bad luck.
