Cross

Staring out over the lush green pasture in front of the lodge, I let Bishop’s words wash over me for the millionth time. I’d been up all night trying to figure out who it could be.

A snake in the grass at Twisted Cross Ranch was the last thing I’d expected.

Call me naïve, but these people were more than ranch hands. They were family. Most of them had been with us for years. Hell, Tex took over after his father died. It wasn’t just the family business for us. It was true for most of them as well.

No one at the ranch would betray us. Would they?

They sure as shit wouldn’t have if Senior was still alive. But he’s not. Which put the blame squarely on my shoulders.

Three cowboys rode by on their way from one pasture to another. One gave me a wave, and I simply raised my coffee cup from my place on the front porch in response. Was he the traitor? Jesus, I was getting paranoid. But all my life, I’d known I would be the one who kept this place going. I’d been trained to take on my daddy’s mantle. And fuck, I wanted it.

Now, though? I seemed to be flushing everything my family had worked for, stolen, bled, and died to have, right down the drain. All I’d ever known was that I’d be his successor.

And I was failing.

No wonder he had River in his back pocket.

I couldn’t help but wonder how’d he know she’d do a better job than me when she’d been sent away and had absolutely no idea what the job entailed. Had he been keeping tabs on her? Seemed like the kind of thing he would do.

Maybe that’s why it stung so bad. He knew she’d go into this blind, and still he made the call.

The weight of the last few weeks was crushing me. Between her return, my father’s death, the multiple attacks on my brother’s life, and now this . . . I was losing my goddamn mind. Nothing was making any fucking sense.

“You won’t get yourself any answers by sitting on your ass and whining about it,” I muttered to myself.

Trouble was, I didn’t know where to start. Without a name, I couldn’t exactly do anything. And going after Dominik without a fleshed-out plan was a suicide mission. The only thing in my life I could actually work on right now was my relationship with River. And even that was a damn minefield.

She was guarded when it came to me, with good fucking reason. I’d done plenty of damage, especially after she came back. But the other night in my shower was a start. That was the most playful she’d been with me. Hell, it was the most conversation the two of us had shared without her nearly slapping me. If I’d had it my way, I would’ve torn those little leggings off her and fucked her against the shower wall until she forgot anyone else existed.

She made me crazy.
