Chapter Twelve

It’d been years since Haley had a fun girls’ day. And even though the day had been spent discussing her least favorite things, like ledgers, account receivables and payables, and payroll, she’d pretty much had a smile on her face the whole time.

Jovy and Beth were a riot, and she got on with them instantly. It was refreshing not to be judged or pitied. Just accepted. It made setting up accounting programs and rearranging the office actually enjoyable.

“Are you kidding me about the cow?” Haley opened the desk drawer to shove a folder inside when her gaze caught on a copy of the divorce papers Drew had never signed. She needed to get rid of them.

The pretty brunette snorted. “I wish I was kidding.”

Forbidding her mind to revisit that dark time, Haley shut the drawer, opened another, and dropped the folder. “Did she really stalk you?” she asked, refocusing on the conversation.

“Yeah,” Jovy replied. “That mother heifer tried to run me off the road the other day. Thank God the fence held.”

At the mention of fence, Haley’s gaze strayed to the window, again. All afternoon it drifted to the great view of male testosterone in action. The Mitchum brothers were gorgeous, but it was Cord who captured and held her attention. And made her hot enough to squirm, remembering a time those competent hands had worked on her.

“That’s some view,” Beth remarked, gaze trained on the older Mitchum.

Jovy sighed. “Indeed. The only thing better would be if they were shirtless.”

Holy hell, Haley’s temperature skyrocketed just from the thought of seeing the rippling muscles she’d touched a few hours ago. “Not sure my heart could take it.”

“Mine, either,” Jovy remarked. “But I’d bring the popcorn.”

Beth giggled. “And I’d grab the wine…and leave the ogling of my brother to the two of you.”

Haley’s laughter mixed with theirs. She probably should feel weirded out by ogling Beth’s brother in the woman’s presence, but since the friendly girl didn’t seem to care, and the guy was going to be gone in a little over two weeks, she figured she should look while she could.

“You know, Haley.” The woman turned to face her. “I need to thank you.”

She frowned. “What for? You’re the one who spent the afternoon helping me.” Beth’s ideas for the grand opening were smart and thrifty, involving a few local venders the woman insisted she’d call on Monday. “I should be thanking you.”

Green eyes, the same shade as Cord’s smiled at her. “But you’ve done something pretty amazing.”

“Okay, now you’ve completely lost me.”

“I’m talking about my brother,” Beth replied. “Whatever you’ve been doing to him, for him, with him, whatever, please don’t stop.”

Haley stilled, but inside her heart thudded hard in her chest. “I haven’t done anything, really.” Except share a few amazing climaxes with the guy.

“Yes, you have, and it’s made a difference,” Beth insisted. “It may be subtle, but I’ve seen it.”

“Me, too,” Jovy said. “The tension around his lips is gone, same thing with his shoulders.”

“And his eyes.
