Chapter 13

After a long week of putting in hours at the store, moving cattle, and helping put everything together for the party, Reno was surprised he had any energy left. But as he buttoned up his shirt and set his favorite Stetson on his head, energy zapped through him like he’d stuck his finger in a light socket.

In past years, he’d offered to help his brothers man the party grill, which often took up most of the evening hours. This year, he’d assigned himself to other projects that might not be so time-consuming. Tonight, he’d decided to take a break and try to enjoy himself for once.

What had changed?

Everything.

Each morning when he awoke, he had thoughts running through his head that were often accompanied by a throbbing erection. Those thoughts always included Charlotte Brooks. Naked. Half-naked. Fully dressed. But mostly naked.

It had become a habit. She’d become a fever in his blood he couldn’t ease. An itch he couldn’t scratch.

A dream he couldn’t make real.

But that didn’t stop the dream from coming night after night after night.

Stretched out by his boots, Bear gave a colossal groan.

“Sorry I can’t take you this time, boy.” He bent down and gave the dog a good rub. “You’d either get stomped on the dance floor or lost in the shuffle.”

Bear’s head snapped up. He whined, jumped to his feet, and trotted out of the bedroom. Moments later, a knock on the door rose above Jake Owens on the radio complaining about some girl only kissing him when she was drunk. In Reno’s mind, that didn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. As long as she knew what she was doing and remembered it the next day.

And when a man started trying to make explanations for a song, he needed to wake the hell up and get out a little more often.

He nudged an anxiously wiggling Bear aside and opened the front door. In a flash of orange, Pumpkin dashed inside, took a running nip at Bear’s ear, then disappeared into the back of the house. Bear followed.

“Would you mind if Pumpkin stayed here tonight?”

Reno swung his gaze back toward the door and did his best to keep his tongue inside his mouth.

Standing in the doorway with the waning sunlight highlighting her from behind, stood Charli, in a floaty, short, and sexy sundress. Her dark hair floated down over her slender shoulders and wide, halter-style straps in loose, sexy curls. The creamy color made him think of the famous Marilyn Monroe dress, and he wished for a sudden breeze to lift the fabric and give him a glance at Charli’s long legs. His gaze traveled down the deep-cut cleavage-revealing front of her dress to a pair of red Western boots.

He swallowed.

“Would that be okay?” she asked, her lips sparkling with a sheen of gloss. “I mean, I don’t want to intrude. But our dogs seem to have a good time together.”

His gaze snapped up, and he noticed that in her hands she held a large bowl of something that smelled sweet and delicious.
