Chapter Four

Blayne stepped back and walked away from the door. Morgan followed, closing the door behind him. He went into the living room. Blayne sat on the couch, staring at him. Morgan walked over to the window looking out on the main ranch house.

“I don’t want to be late for dinner,” Blayne prompted.

“Christ, you’re prickly,” Morgan said, turning to face him.

Blayne stood, then barked out, “If all you’re going to do is insult me, you can leave.” Morgan walked over to him and reached for him. Blayne slapped his hands away.

Determined, Morgan grabbed his hands and pulled him in to his body. Blayne held himself stiff.

“Let go.”

“No. Calm down and listen to me,” Morgan said.

“You do—”

“Hush,” Morgan said.

“Don’t hush me,” Blayne growled.

Morgan smiled. “You’re like a cactus—all prickly, but nice and succulent inside.”

Blayne sighed. “Calling me a cactus is not the way to win me over.”

Morgan’s grin widened. “So I can win you over, huh?”

Blayne watched him through narrowed eyes. “That’s not what I said.”

“We both have a temper. And I’m set in my ways. Like things my own way.” He shrugged.

“I’m still not hearing an apology,” Blayne said.

“Let me see your ears,” Morgan said, stifling a smile.

“What? Why?” Blayne asked.

“To check your hearing.”

Blayne’s look was disbelieving. His lips twitched, and he started to laugh. Morgan rubbed his hands along Blayne’s back.

“You don’t seem as angry as you were earlier,” Morgan said.

“Spoke with HC and Thomas. They helped calm me down. Pointed out you couldn’t help being an asshole,” Blayne replied.

Morgan frowned. Blayne grinned cheekily. Morgan leaned in. Blayne put his hand on his chest, stopping him.

“You’re not going to apologise, are you?”

“We really need to check that hearing.” Morgan touched Blayne’s ears.

“There’s nothing wrong with my hearing, you stubborn cowboy.” Blayne covered his ears with his hands.

Morgan grinned, then leaned in and kissed him. Blayne returned the kiss, then pulled away.

“Let’s go,” Blayne said.

Morgan sighed and walked back to the door. When he noticed Blayne wasn’t next to him, he glanced around.

“Come and get it,” Blayne called.

Morgan looked up and saw him standing in the centre of the staircase leading to the upper floor. Blayne swung his braid. Morgan went after him and Blayne laughed as he ran up the stairs. Morgan caught him on the landing, lifting him over his shoulder.

“Hey!” Blayne cried.

Morgan smacked him on the ass. Blayne growled, then a stinging blow hit Morgan’s butt. Morgan jerked at the slap and smacked Blayne’s ass again.

“Behave,” Morgan warned.

“You’re the one acting like a caveman, carting me off,” Blayne groused.

Morgan entered the bedroom, strode to the bed, and put Blayne on his feet next to it. He pushed, and Blayne flopped down. The exasperated look on his face was cute. Morgan reached for his shirt but Blayne slapped his hands away and rolled off the other side of the bed.

“Nope. This is my time, caveman. I’m in charge.” Blayne’s tone was daring.

“Come on, then.” Morgan smiled and put his hands out, palms up.

Blayne walked over to him. He ran his hands down Morgan’s chest, then unbuttoned his shirt.
