Chapter Ten

“I trusted you both, and both of you just left me out in the cold.” Matt Matteo sat his plate of food on the table. Its mounds of barbequed ribs, brisket, and sausage, along with sides of potato salad and pinto beans, were ready to do battle with his appetite. A cold bottle of cerveza filled the empty space next to his seat at the long picnic table. “Remind me to do that next time you have a legal problem that needs my immediate attention.”

“What are you mumbling about?” Jaxson was finishing off the bowl of cherry cobbler in front of him. Beaudry, not one to let words interrupt his appetite, kept eating.

“Neither of you told me about the blonde from Hollywood by the name of CeeCee Lane. That she was here in our town and single and a knockout.”

“Sorry about that. Guess it slipped our minds, what with running a few hundred thousand acres and watching out for fires and empty water holes and the like. Beaudry, from now on, you need to do a better of job of keeping an eye out for females and reporting them to our pal here.” Jaxson flashed a not-too-sorry grin at the attorney.

“I’d get right on that one, but since my wife might not think too highly of that idea, I’ll leave single females up to you to handle. Looked like you had things well in hand taking the lady for a walk to the stables after dinner the other night.”

“I see how it is. Jax, my old buddy here, is saving the best for himself.”

“The best of what? Is there food I’ve missed from that huge buffet the Tremaynes have laid out this year?” Sammi Jo slid onto the bench seat next to her husband, her salad and bottle of water in hand.

Jaxson raised his eyebrows as he eyed her plate. “I’d say that your eyesight went bad on you if that salad was all you found over there.”

“My wife is being very good and following the obstetrician’s orders to the letter. I am proud of you, sweetheart.” Beaudry planted a swift kiss on her forehead as he rose from his seat.

“Where are you going now?” she asked.

“I need another bowl of the homemade peach ice cream. I couldn’t decide if I really liked it until I finished the first bowl. Be right back.”

Matt and Jaxson shook their heads. “If I ate like he does, I’d be the size of a barn,” Matt observed, buttering one of the rolls on his plate.

“Yes, I can see you have great restraint,” Jaxson remarked dryly.

“Is this a private party?”

CeeCee was standing at the side of the table, a plate held in her hands, and a wide smile on her face. Her short jean shorts showed off tan legs that went on and on. The tank top was an explosion of colors and left a lot of skin bare. Neither he nor Matt could get to their feet fast enough.

“Where are my manners? Please, sit here.
