When Sawyer knocked on Remy’s front door, he braced himself for another go-around with Remy’s father Braxton. The door swung open to reveal Remy instead, and he released a breath.

“It’s you,” he said.

“What are you doing here?” Remy asked, staring at him like he’d grown a second head. “Are you crazy?”

Remy was in jeans and a tight white t-shirt, hair thrown up in a messy bun, and looking way better than she had any real right to. Sawyer ripped his gaze from her body and gave her a tentative smile.

“I’m here to talk about saving your farm,” he announced.

Remy’s gaze narrowed on him. “Keep your voice down!”

Sawyer glanced around behind him, then gave Remy a skeptical glance.

“Who am I hiding from?” he asked.

Remy opened the door all the way and shooed him back a step, then closed the door behind herself.

“Look, my dad and I are the only ones who know about… what I told you the other day. So if you don’t mind, I’d rather you didn’t go around announcing it.”

Sawyer crossed his arms over his chest, not missing the way that Remy’s eyes drifted down to check him out.

Damn, she does still have the hots for you… somewhere under all that anger, he thought to himself.

“No problem,” he said easily, unable to keep the smirk off his face. When she glanced up and realized she’d been busted, she colored.

“You need to leave.”

“Or you’ll kiss me again?”

Her mouth opened, a shocked sound escaping as she worked to control herself.

“You kissed me,” she hissed, lowering her voice.

“Sure.”

Remy reached out and smacked him on the arm, looking offended.

“Will you leave?” she said, her face red.

Sawyer repressed the grin that threatened to burst free, knowing he needed to get serious before she slammed the door in his face again.

“I came here to talk to your father about a joint venture between the Romans and the Rivers.”

“Work together, you mean?” she asked, the fine line between her brows knitting together.

“Yeah. I have a plan that I think could be really lucrative for both of our families,” Sawyer said.

“So you’re not doing this to ingratiate yourself with me?” Remy asked.

“Well… maybe a little,” he said, giving her a teasing grin.

“Sawyer, I don’t even know what to tell you right now,” she said, looking annoyed.

“Look, Remy,” he said, reaching out and catching her hand. To his surprise, she didn’t yank her fingers from his grasp. “I’m serious about this business proposal. You have to know I’m serious, since your brother threatened to kick my ass for talking to you, and your father told me he’d shoot me if I came back here. Give me a little credit, will you?”

Remy softened a little, then flapped a hand. “Go around the side of the house to the picnic table. I’ll get my dad.”

She was gone before he could say another word, the front door closing firmly in his face. Sawyer headed around the side of the house, taking a seat on the picnic table to wait for Remy and her father.
