Chapter Seven

Mike threw his t-shirt and hat down on the bed and cursed under his breath.

How could Sandy ask him to do this? Why had she asked him to do this?

He'd never been so angry with Sandy in his life. How could she plan something like this? How could she ask him of all people?

"Man, what's eating you?" Chad asked as he caught him slamming doors and grabbing a towel from the hall linen closet.

"Your girlfriend… that's what!" Mike almost yelled as he slammed the door to the closet and frowned at his brother.

"My girlfriend? Sandy? What are you talking about?" Chad's innocence bugged Mike, especially right now.

"She wants me to romance Wendy."

The dramatic way he said it, had Chad taking a second look.

Chad shrugged. "Wendy? Isn't she the younger sister?"

"That's right." Mike grit his teeth.

"Well, what's so bad about that? She's pretty." Chad shrugged as he followed him down the hall to the bathroom.

"You've noticed?" Mike nearly yelled again. He threw the towel on the bathroom counter and turned to his brother, not bothering to hide his annoyance.

"Of course I have, I'm not blind. The McKay's are a beautiful bunch of women. All of them. So what is so bad about you romancing the littlest one?"

"A lot of things. For one, Wendy is in love with Wade Weston. You know Wade, the foreman?"

Chad nodded with a slight smile. "Oh yeah…the big guy that runs the place. Sure, but I didn't know they had a thing for each other." Chad laughed.

"A thing? Wendy is nuts about the man. Wade doesn't give her the time of day."

"Oh…wow!"

"Yeah, wow! Everyone on the ranch knows how Wendy feels but Wade. It's no secret to anyone but Wade. He has got to be the blindest man I've ever known," Mike protested. "Besides, I don't want to get in the middle of that."

"So why romance her at all?" Chad asked innocently. "Just tell Sandy no."

"Tell Sandy no…!"

"Why not?"

"Because Sandy thinks it will make Wade jealous," Mike explained, giving Chad a strange look over his shoulder. "Then Wendy might get his attention. Wade's hang-up is her age, I'm sure of that."

"Maybe she's right. I mean, jealousy does stir the dust a little." Chad chuckled. "Say, how come you are showering here?"

"'Cause I’m hot and tired and need to clean up before I go home. And because this is my home too, you know. Do you mind?" Mike turned an angry frown on him.

"No-no, of course not. Go ahead. It's your home too. Anyway, that doesn't sound so bad. After all, all the McKay girls are gorgeous. All of them."

"I don't care how gorgeous they are. I work with gorgeous women every day, Chad. Gorgeous is only skin deep anyway. Doesn't mean I want to romance them. Wendy's just a kid. I don't want to take the advantage," Mike insisted.

"Then don't. Just kiss her a little in front of Wade; that ought to do it." Chad patted him on the shoulder for reassurance. "I mean, you wouldn't have to carry it that far.
