Chapter Ten

“You’re working too hard, Taylor.” Jace propped one foot on the bottom rung of the corral fence and rested his arms on the top.

Kade continued hot walking the young gelding. “Are you kidding? This is like a vacation.” He’d returned from an hour ride and needed to settle the horse before grooming him.

“When does your friend arrive?” Jace asked. He hadn’t been too keen on Heath inviting Kade to the ranch. He’d changed his mind after a few days.

“Tomorrow. Knowing Nesto, he’ll want to jump right in.”

“He as good as you?”

“Better,” Kade grinned and started toward the barn.

Jace followed him inside and rested against one of the stalls, watching as Kade picked up a couple of brushes. “Heath tell you we have company coming in this weekend?”

“His son, I think.”

“Trey, his wife, and their son, plus a few of their Navy friends. It’ll be a full house. We usually play flag football on Sunday afternoon. Plan on bringing your friend and joining us.” Jace strolled from the barn, then turned back. “Come hungry. The women put together a huge spread.”

Kade continued sliding the brushes over the horse, talking in soft tones, and admiring the lines. He’d been surprised how quick he transitioned from arresting drug dealers to taking care of horses. The time alone with the animals felt good.

He tossed the brushes in a bucket as the sound of an approaching motorcycle caught his attention. A few minutes later, Eric came strolling inside.

“Time to put that stuff away and go for a real ride.” He and Eric had been on several rides over the last few weeks.

“Give me half an hour to grab my bike. I’ll meet you back here.”

“I’ll follow you. No sense wasting a moment. Besides, if I stay around here, mom will get her fangs in me and we might never get away.”

“Fair enough.”

Kade jumped in his truck and took off toward the cabin. The bike sat ready. He grabbed a jacket, strapped a helmet to the back, and they were off. An hour later, Eric pulled into The Tavern, a sports bar popular with locals.

Eric held to a firm rule—no alcohol when he rode the bike. Kade had spent so much time riding with the outlaw gang, he didn’t hesitate ordering a beer. He’d developed the habit of nursing one all night. The others in the gang had never caught on to it as they chugged down one drink after another.

“You hear about the group of riders who tore up Bonnie’s last night?”

They each glanced at the bartender and shook their heads. Bonnie’s sat in the middle of old town and had been popular with motorcycle groups for years.

“About twenty of them showed up, ready for a brawl. From what I hear, the place is a mess and several bikers got thrown in jail.”

“Did you hear what started it?” Kade asked.

“Nope. Guess they’ll be heading out as soon as their friends are released. At least I hope so.”

“You think that’ll be the case?” Eric asked Kade as the bartender turned toward other customers.
