Chapter Fourteen

‘SO WHO EXACTLY did you say you were?’

Robyn raised her chin to stare into the cold blue eyes of the tall blond cowboy who stood in front of her.

‘I’m Robyn Cooper, Mr Scott’s personal assistant.’ She waved her security pass in his face. ‘See? It says so here.’

He frowned down at her. ‘Well, I’m Jay Turner, his brother, and I don’t remember hearing anything about you.’

She fluttered her eyelashes at him. ‘Well, perhaps that’s because you weren’t on set yesterday as planned.’

‘Lady, I talked to Dakota last night. He sure didn’t mention you.’

‘He didn’t?’

‘Mr Turner, are you saying Ms Cooper shouldn’t be here?’ Robyn noted that Stephanie could barely keep the note of excitement out of her voice as she smiled triumphantly down at her.

‘I’m saying I need to talk to my brother.’ Jay looked around impatiently. ‘Where the hell is he?’

‘I’m right here.’

Robyn turned to see Dakota emerging from the make-up trailer, his half-unzipped jeans barely hanging on his hips, his chest oiled and gleaming.

‘Jeez, what the hell did they do to you?’ Jay laughed out loud. ‘You look like someone from the gay rodeo.’

Dakota kept going until his toes were aligned with his brother’s. Robyn noticed they were about the same height and build.

‘They did what you told them to do, asshole,’ Dakota growled.

Jay held out his hands palms up. He was still chuckling. ‘I didn’t choose your clothes, dude. You’ll have to take that up with Lauren.’

Robyn frowned. Who the hell was Lauren?

‘Lauren did this to me?’ Dakota’s expression darkened. ‘Where is she?’

‘She’s coming in with Grayson later today so you can fight it out with her then.’ Jay punched Dakota’s shoulder. ‘I only supplied the boots. Lauren came up with the props and your clothes, and the film production company put it all together.’

‘Lucky me,’ Dakota muttered. He caught sight of Robyn and put his arm around her shoulders. ‘Robyn, I’d like you to meet my brother, Jay Turner.’

The humor in Jay’s face abruptly faded. We’ve already met.’

Robyn managed a smile as she moved out of Dakota’s embrace. ‘Mr Turner thinks I’m here under false pretenses. Apparently you didn’t think to mention me when you talked to him last night.’

Dakota grimaced. ‘Damn, I’m sorry, Robyn, I meant to but Jay’s news kind of put it out of my head.’

Jay pointed at the office building behind them. ‘How about we take this inside?’ He glanced at Robyn, his blue eyes glacial. ‘Might as well keep it in the family.’

Robyn took a step away from him. Strange how much that comment hurt. ‘I’m not part of your family, Mr Turner, so I suppose that means I should stay outside?’

Dakota grabbed her hand. ‘You’re coming, honey. My brother is just being a mite overprotective.’

Jay turned on his heel and headed for the production office. Dakota edged past a gawping Stephanie and a couple of the crew, Robyn’s hand held tightly in his own. Inside the office, Jay took the commanding space behind the desk, leaving the uncomfortable chairs to Robyn and Dakota – as if they wanted to sit anyway.
