Chapter Four

Cord slipped his shirt on while Waco gave Dani a goodnight kiss. Not that he wanted to leave, but he needed to speak with Waco about Dani.

She was headstrong and stubborn. Hell, she had to be. The ranch hands wouldn’t respect her if she showed weakness. Managing the Iron H would take a strong hand—

managing Dani was impossible.

Waco walked out the door, giving Cord an opportunity to say goodnight in private, acknowledging that there was something more between he and Dani.

Looking into her face, Cord felt his gut clench. After years of denying his desire for her, he almost couldn’t bear to walk away.

He kissed her briefly with lips, tongue and hands. After he parted, he said, “Sleep well.” Because he would be back.

Cord followed Waco down the stairs. Crickets chirped from the darkness. Heat from the day hadn’t dissipated with the setting of the sun. His thoughts went to the cattle in the fields. Unless the heat wave broke, they’d continue to pull dead livestock out of the pastures. Tomorrow he’d talk to Dani and Ray about selling off most of the herd before they succumbed to the elements.

“I can’t say I don’t have concerns.”

Cord startled from his thoughts. “Yep.” He inhaled deeply. “I have plenty on my mind.” Not just about the cattle, Ray, Dani and now the potential complications of a sexual triangle.

“Will tonight change my position here on the ranch?”

Cord cast a quick glance at Waco. “Yep, suppose it will.”

Waco nodded. “Play it straight with me. I know you were pissed off in the barn today. Tonight was a bit of a shock, but I can roll with just about everything.” He raised an eyebrow. “I don’t worry much about the future. Right now I enjoy living for the moment. I think Dani is a lot of fun.”

“She is, and I know the two of you have become friends.”

“Good friends.” Waco chuckled. “But I don’t expect to have an open invitation to Dani’s bed. Fuck, Cord, we all know she’s in love with you. But if you weren’t going to fuck her…” He shrugged. “She does what she wants. If she wanted to do me, no way was I turning her down.”

“I’m hoping tonight changes things between me and Dani.” Cord paused and stopped Waco with a hand to the forearm. “What happened tonight doesn’t have to become complicated. But after being with her, I’m not going to let her go.”

Waco nodded. “Understood.”

“Thank you.” He put a hand on Waco’s shoulder. “I’m not saying sex between the three of us has to be a one-time event. It’ll be up to Dani. I needed you to know where I stand.”

Waco cracked a grin and continued on the path to the bunkhouse. “After tonight, I can’t help but hope that invitation is quick in coming.”

He liked that Waco accepted the situation. He’d always been protective of Dani, even when she didn’t want his interference. Muscles stiffened in his neck. He rolled his shoulders. Teasing him was like teasing an ornery bull.
