Chapter Nine

They made their way into the stables, and the two mares that the brothers were working on taming started going wild. Their mule, Odessa, was in a separate stall, her jaw working as she ate, her big black eyes content as she took everything in. Travis went over to Odessa and patted her on the side.

“This is our mule. She does the hauling of our supplies when we do cattle runs or do hunting for the winter months. She’s a good girl, works hard, and definitely earns her keep.” He looked over at Pearl and saw the way she was still twisting her hands together. She’d been doing that the entire trek down to the stables from the main house.

Yeah, he didn’t have to be so lewd with her, but he’d been surprised as hell to see her standing in his house, the woman that was supposed to be their cleaner and cook. Hell, he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her since last night, and that was unusual for him. He’d immersed himself in work as soon as he got back to the ranch, tried to put her behind him, but the scent of her had been engrained in his head and he hadn’t been able to get rid of his damn hard-on since leaving her.

“You can cook though, right? Clean?” Jace asked, and Colton jabbed him in the gut with an elbow. “Man, ouch,” Jace said and rubbed his stomach.

She smiled, cast a glance at Travis, and he felt his cock jerk when her smile faded and her lips parted as she took in a deep breath. Yeah, she was just as affected as he was, and damn if that wasn’t a heady sensation.

“I can cook,” she said and smiled at his brothers.

He could tell they liked her, but then again Pearl had this aura around her, this personality that drew people in. Hell, it had been cone of the reasons he’d been drawn to her. He’d seen her in that bar and felt this pull toward her. She was sitting alone, not even caring that others were watching the newcomer in town, and yet she held herself with assurance, with pride. She may have been afraid, unsure of the situation and her surroundings, but she didn’t allow it to shape her. He liked that in a
