Chapter Seven

Angus and Colin worked silently as they fed the animals, mucked the stalls and turned the horses out to pasture.

“Well, how did your family date go?” Colin asked on the way back to the house. “Did having a kid along cramp the Angus McFarlan style?”

Angus shot his brother the finger, having no intention of telling him what had transpired between him and Gwen. Hell, he was still struggling to keep from hardening every time he thought about how completely Gwen had given herself to him. “Have you called Brody to apologize and ask him to come home?”

“What’s that got to do with your date?” Colin grumbled.

“Nothing. I just want to know what you’re doing to fix what’s broken between you and Brody.”

“You talk to him.”

“I’m not the one who pissed him off enough he’d stay away from home for eight years. You better get on it or the two months Mom gave us will be over before you even find him.”

“Fine. I’ll call him tonight.”

“Call him now.”

“Don’t push me.”

Angus ground to a halt. “I sure as hell will if you don’t get off your high horse and call him.”

“You don’t have to bite my head off.”

“Then grow some testicles and apologize. Family is all we have, and we haven’t been acting like much of one lately.”

Colin’s lips slipped upward in a smirk. “You’re sounding more like Mom than yourself.”

“Well, maybe it’s time I wasn’t myself.” Angus walked away feeling more conflicted than ever.

“Not yourself?” Colin chuckled. “Does it have anything to do with one hot chick who rocks a tight, gray skirt?”

“It has to do with me.” Angus stopped, sucked in a deep, steadying breath and went on, “My life has been on hold for far too long.”

“On hold? You’ve been working your ass off making this ranch work, and look at all you’ve accomplished. A sustainable business and the best quarter horse breeding program in the country.”

“At what cost? It’s like Mom said, who would I leave it to? What’s the use of building up a great legacy if you don’t have a family to pass it on to?”

Colin’s eyes widened. “Wow, Mom really got to you, didn’t she? And Gwen. And how good she made baggy jeans and an old shirt look… Yeah. I can see she rocked your world. But I’m not ready to settle down. The way I see it, I’m three years behind you on the power grid. That’s three more years of living and loving every female I can get my hands on. Why settle for one?”

“You’re wasting time. We have two months before Mom sells the place. I don’t plan on being homeless when I’ve put too damned much time and effort into this place. And I want my children to know where they came from and have a place to call home.”

“Okay, okay.” Colin blew out a breath. “I’ll call Brody.”

Already riled and anxious about his date that night, he didn’t have time for all the drama that had dragged on far too long between his brothers.
