“So, you’re not only bedding Summer Sanchez, but you’re also gonna move her into your house?” Luke asked Austin again.

“Bro, how many times do I need to explain this to you? She’s fucking awesome. I’m in love. I know I said I’d never fall, but I did. Just have to get Preston to stay the hell away. I plan on walking out of the arena tonight $10,000 dollars richer. I’d say that’d buy a pretty damn nice engagement ring, not to mention the millions I’ve racked up this season.”

“I feel it bears mentioning before you up and spend all of your bank on a ring that barrel racers are generally a little wild and completely crazy.”

“Yeah, she’s perfect. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you,” Austin laughed.

As they searched for a parking place near the arena, Luke jerked Austin’s shirt to the side, reveling several of the hickeys Summer had left on him the night before. He shook his head. “Figures. I somehow suspect she has more.”

Austin smirked and waggled his eyebrows.

“I hope you know what you’re doing. Whole thing seems nuts to me, and I really don’t want to be a scavenger bird in this like that woman kept calling me, if it’s all the same to you.”

“Ekta took good care of Summer when Mitchum used to ride here every year. Summer adores her. I don’t give a shit if she is crazy. I’m just glad somebody was there for her at some point in her life.”

“Speaking of riding here, shouldn’t you be getting your head out of Summer Sanchez’s crotch and be getting it into qualifying on a bull tonight?”

“I’m in it. Should have seen my last ride in Cody when I knew she was waiting on me outside the chutes. Ninety-fucking-two. My best ride yet. She’s my good luck charm.”

“Okay, fine, geez, she all you’re ever gonna talk about again?”

“Sorry, guess I am obsessin’.” Austin tried to feel badly that he’d dominated conversation the whole day with talk of Summer. His brother wouldn’t be in town too long, but convincing Summer to be his permanently took up all of his brain capacity. “Uh, how’s the ranch?”

“Hay’s mostly in. Grant and Natalie are finishing it up, but Gilbert’s ranch is heading for the auction block.”

“What?” The news effectively jerked Austin out of thoughts of he and Summer making Camden Ranch their permanent home.

The Gilberts had owned the small 7,000-acre ranch next to the Camdens since long before either Luke or Austin had been born.

“Yeah, you remember back last winter when their barn burned?” Luke reminded him.

Austin nodded.

“Bunch of bad investments near about bankrupted them just before that. Looks like arson, but it was an inside job.”

“No way. Ames Gilbert is as honest as the day is long. He wouldn’t torch his own barn for cash.”

“No one thinks it was Ames. Seems Derrick put his daddy’s money in oil a month or two before OPEC slashed the price per barrel instead of in corn, where everybody with half a brain knew the money was gonna be.
