Chapter Five

Old habits were hard to break, and though he was dying inside, more sure than ever that Cord was done with him, Sully smiled at him the next morning as if the conversation following sex had never happened. He had a troubled horse to deal with; he didn’t have the fortitude to deal with a troubled partner as well.

“You’ll have to come out and meet Kally Kin,” he said as he passed Cord the serving plate of bacon. “She’s a little moody, but I bet you can make friends with her.”

“Moody?” Brian scoffed then looked over at Cord. “Try cantankerous and ill-tempered. Watch your fingers. She’s a biter.”

“She’s coming around,” Sully argued. “Besides, she’s never bit me. If she likes me, she’ll probably get on with Cord.”

Brian raised his brows and looked down at his eggs, clearly thinking his brother was twelve kinds of crazy.

“It’s good to have both my boys home,” Gran gushed. She clasped her hands together on the table behind her plate, surveying the dining room’s occupants. “And Sully’s young man too. I’m so glad he’s found someone, and such a handsome boy, to boot.”

Sully glanced over at Cord to see the man’s cheeks darken with embarrassment.

“Tell me,” she said, and her eyes narrowed slightly, her congenial look fading. Terror sliced through Sully. He knew that look.

“Gran,” he tried to interrupt, but she ignored him.

“Do you love my grandson?” she finished.

“Gran, don’t put Cord on the spot. Good grief, you just met him.”

“But you haven’t. If this is the man you’re choosing to live with, I want to know how he feels. You’ve denied me any part of your life for ten years. Give me this.”

He jumped on the opening. Cord had said he loved him last night, but that was during sex, and Sully didn’t want to face whatever misgivings Cord was having in the bold light of morning. “You know what happened. They probably would have killed me if I’d stayed.”

She blew out a breath through pursed lips. “Did they kill your brother when they went after him? No. They put him in the hospital, but he stayed in Blue Grove. He saw the right thing done and those hooligans went to jail. Even your rotten cousins—thank God they’re from the other side of the family and not related to me. It’s so shameful. That group’s acquaintance with you had nothing to do with their horrid behavior. They’d attacked several young men in the county, but it wasn’t until your brother that they were identified by name. The other victims came forward and those thugs were punished accordingly. It was well-publicized. When the arrests hit the news and people around here learned what had happened in their quiet region—repeatedly—they were outraged that this could occur here.”

Sully shook his head, trying to follow the conversation. Had he misjudged the people of Blue Grove so badly? And how had his brother gotten involved? “I don’t… Why did they go after Brian? Was it because of me?”
