Chapter Six

“I can’t believe you talked me into coming out to the Ugly Stick tonight.” Emma grabbed the long neck bottle of beer from the counter and downed a long slug before she turned to face the saloon’s interior.

“You’ve been holin’ up so long you probably forgot how to dance.” Ace patted the seat beside him. “Sit. You’re as nervous as a cat in a room full of rockin’ chairs.”

“I’m not in the mood to be out. Too many people are here, it’s noisy and smells like tube socks and stale beer.”

Brand inhaled deeply and patted his chest. “Man, I love that smell. I can feel my chest hairs growin’.” He reached out and snagged the waitress as she hurried by. “Charli, honey, could you bring us a pitcher of Guinness?”

Charli raised her brows and stared at the hand on her arm until Brand let go. “You got it.” She spun away, collecting empties as she zigzagged toward the bar.

“That Charli has a lot of sass,” Brand noted. “Emma, I think you’re right. I need a woman.”

Emma rolled her eyes. “Charli’s taken.”

Brand frowned, his gaze following the pretty waitress. “That’s right. Mason’s staked his claim, hasn’t he?”

“From what I understand, she staked it first,” Colton corrected.

“That’s what I like…a woman who can take charge.” Brand cracked his knuckles. “Well then, who’s the lucky girl for this cowboy?”

A chuckle rose up Emma’s throat and escaped before she could straighten her lips and give her brother a stern look. “Really, Brand?”

Ace shook his head. “Tone down the ego or you’ll never land a decent woman.”

“Who said I wanted decent?” He nodded toward a table full of bleach-blondes, wearing short jean skirts and cowboy boots. “Bingo.” Brand launched himself from his stool.

Emma grabbed his arm before he got far. “Brand, consider this, those girls have brothers. They’re probably some big cowboys’ sisters. How would you feel if a heart-breaker like you hit on your sister like you’re about to hit on them?”

Brand’s chest puffed out for a moment and then he slumped. “You really know how to take the fun out of a saloon. Did you know that?”

Biting back a smile, Emma turned her brother toward a lone figure at the other end of the bar. “Do yourself a favor and ask that nice young lady to dance.”

Brand’s smile sank further. “She’s not blond.”

“Maybe she doesn’t have a brother, either.” Colton slipped into the seat Brand vacated, a sheen of perspiration glowing across his brow. “Music’s hot tonight. Get out there and show Dillon how to two-step. That boy has it all messed up.”

Dillon slid onto the stool beside Colton and punched his brother’s arm. “I know how to two-step. You were the one crippling your partner, stepping all over her feet.”

Emma sighed. Ace had been right. She hadn’t been out for a long time and being around her brothers was relaxing as they threw good-natured barbs at each other.

Brand strode to the end of the bar and bowed like a gentleman in front of the quiet brunette.
