“Yeah, sorry. Anyhow, I didn’t have a chance to call and you were already en route. Wilde is my nephew. He’s a good guy. You had a tour scheduled with him. You know the whole True Ranch Experience.”
“But that was a one-day tour and now you want me to stay there, withhim.”
“He’s about as happy as you are about this.,” she stated cheerfully and laughed. “His place is huge, there’s enough space where you don’t have to interact if you don’t want to but when you see him, you might change your mind. My nephew is quite the looker. Got a lot of the ladies in town chasing after him…”
Not important. He’s still a stranger so I shut her down. “He doesn’t want me there?”
“It’s not that he doesn’t want you there, more so he wasn’t expecting me to call in a favor. He’s not really a people person. More of a horse person. Spends all his time training ’em and what not. Anyhow, he’s doing this for me and truthfully you’ll have more of an experience spending the week out there at his place. You can come to town to do all the other stuff you had planned too. I hope that’s okay and I’m gonna issue you a credit for the week so your stay here in Miller’s Pointe will be free. How’s that sound?
I exhaled a sigh. “You don’t have to do that.”
“Then you’ll stay with Wilde?”
“I don’t have much choice, do I?”
“Not unless you plan on heading back to Boston and you’d still have to stay for two days before you can get a train out,” she said cheerfully, again like she hadn’t just completely derailed my peaceful week.
“Right, well where do I find Wilde?”
“He’s on his way. You’ll know him when you see him. Big guy, black Stetson, jeans, boots, andveryhandsome.” She paused. “Well there are a lot of those kinds around here but I can imagine Wilde won’t be smiling. Start with the cowboy with a scowl in place and that’s probably him.”
“Perfect,” I muttered and she laughed.
“Oh darlin’, don’t you worry. Your week will be perfect. I give you my word. I’ll have Wilde bring you to see the baby at some point. He’s such a handsome little thing. You’re gonna love him.”
Me loving the kid who cheated me out of my cozy B&B stay for the week? Doubtful.
I did a quick survey of the place and landed eyes on a guy who was exactly as she’d described him—black Stetson, jeans, boots and a scowl. Damn if she wasn’t right about how handsome he was too.
Broad shoulders that filled out the jean denim jacket that covered them. The dark t-shirt beneath it pulled tightly over a massive chest, narrow waist, and flat stomach. My eyes traveled lower to jean clad legs that were shoulder width apart leading down to brown leather cowboy boots tucked away under them.
Well fuck me sideways. This man was not just handsome but incredibly sexy.
“I think I found your nephew Melvina, I should go.”
“Oh, great, perfect. I’ll check in with you later to make sure you’re all settled.”
“No need for…”
She ended the call and I closed my eyes, inhaling a slow breath. As soon as I peeled them open a very angry but sexy cowboy had me locked in his line of sight.
ChapterThree
“Wilde?”
I knew who she was the minute I laid eyes on her. Big expressive eyes, jet-black hair tucked beneath a baseball cap. She was wearing a green jacket over a hoodie with Boston printed on the front and a pair of wide-legged jeans that almost covered the sneakers on her feet.
When I didn’t respond right away after she called my name, she rubbed her glossed lips together and tried again, clutching the handles of her suitcases like she thought I might take them from her.
“Melvina said an angry cowboy would be picking me up. You’re a cowboy and you look…” She grinned. “Not happy.”
I snorted at Melvina mentioning I would be angry. If she was that sure about my mood, she shouldn’t have forced me to do this.
“I’ll take these.” I stepped forward to grab her bags because my mama would have my ass about not being a gentleman no matter how much I didn’t want to do something. She yanked both and stepped in front of the luggage.
“You didn’t answer me?”
Well shit, she’s not going to make this easy.
