EASY.

The word echoed through Cody’s head as he faced off with the pain-in-the-ass reporter who’d been dogging him for the past several months.

Benny wore a pair of faded jeans and a green T-shirt that read The Truth Shall Set You Free. Not that he was the religious sort. It was the name of a band he’d played in back in college. Cody knew that much from the numerous run-ins he’d already had with the man.

Right now, however, he could read nothing in the man’s gaze because it was hidden beneath a pair of Costa Del Mars.

“Isn’t it a little dark out for glasses?” Cody arched an eyebrow.

“I’ve got sensitive eyes.”

That, or he’d finally figured out the truth.

The possibility sent a rush of alarm through Cody. His hands tightened and his muscles went tense.

“The minute I spotted you inside,” Benny went on, “I said to myself, that’s got to be Cody Boyd. But then my sanity kicked in and I realized that it couldn’t be Cody Boyd because Cody Boyd is supposed to be headed for Vegas right now. At least that’s what his publicist told me this morning when I called her.” His mouth drew into a tight line. “But you aren’t headed for Vegas, are you? You’re right here in Skull Creek.” A click echoed in Cody’s ears and he knew James had hit the record button on the small unit in his pocket. “I’m sure the fans would love to know what you’re doing here. Besides picking up women, that is.”

Cody shrugged. “She’s just giving me a lift. What about you? What are you doing here?”

“I go where the stories go. You’re on fire right now, thanks to that last ride. Everybody who follows the bull riding circuit wants to hear your plans for after the win in Vegas. Provided you do actually win.”

“I’ll win,” Cody said.

James shrugged. “So what’s up next for the infamous Cody Boyd? Retirement?”

“Maybe.”

“Come on. You’ve been on the circuit for fifteen years now. You’ve got to be well into your thirties.” When Cody gave him a sharp glance, he added, “Not that you look it, buddy. You don’t look a day over twenty-five. Speaking of which, I’m sure the fans would like to hear how you keep such a youthful appearance in such a grueling sport. Diet? Exercise? Botox?”

“I only eat organic. Listen, I’m in a hurry. I’ve got an early day tomorrow.”

“But I haven’t gotten to the juicy questions yet—”

“Call my publicist. She can issue an FAQ sheet. I’m late.”

“For what?” James shoved the handheld recorder in Cody’s face. “A little R & R with your friend, there?”
