Chapter Eleven

“Justin, let me introduce you to my father, since you haven’t met.” She moved to his side and took the cup of coffee from his hand. Brushing her lips near his ear, she whispered, “Go with me on this, please. I’ll explain later.”

When she stepped back and her gaze met his, she could see anger reflected brightly in his eyes. Damn, I hope I didn’t fuck this up. “Daddy, this is Justin Wilder. You probably remember seeing him at Gram’s birthday party.”

Her father glared at the man at her side for a moment before he held out his good hand for Justin to shake. “Mr. Wilder.”

“Mr. or should I say Colonel Jamieson?”

“Mr. is fine, son. So you’ve asked my Kat to marry you?”

“Uh—sort of. We haven’t really had a lot of chance to talk about it yet, sir.”

“What do you do for a living, Mr. Wilder?”

“Call me Justin, please.”

“All right, Justin.” Her father shifted in the bed before he continued. “So tell me about yourself. I understand you are a business acquaintance of Mark’s.”

Justin chuckled, and she began to relax a little. “Mark and I are business associates, yes, and to answer your first question, I’m a rancher, cattle to be exact.”

“Ah. You own land outside of town from what I’ve heard.”

Her startled eyes swung to her father before she exclaimed, “Daddy? Have you been checking up on him?”

Her father shot a look at her before answering, “You showed interest, Katrina. Of course I’ve checked up on your friend here.”

“Yes, sir, I do have a place outside of town, and I raise and sell cattle on my property. I’m originally from Wyoming, but I settled here a few years back. Got tired of the snow.”

“My contacts tell me you have quite a spread out there on the Flying W.”

“If you can call two thousand acres quite a spread, then I’d say you’re right.”

“Two thousand acres?” she asked surprised, but clamped her mouth shut with a click when her father’s eyes swung to her. No wonder it seemed like we rode for hours and never left his land. Holy shit!

“You didn’t know how much land he has, Katrina?”

She slipped her arm around Justin’s waist and looked up into his face. “Well, I, uh…I never really asked, Daddy. It doesn’t matter to me how much land he owns. I love him anyway.” Those words were a little too easy to say. Justin leaned down and brushed his lips against hers.

“I know you haven’t been seeing him that long, daughter. It couldn’t be more than a couple of months at the most.”

“I know, but I always told you it would take a special person to tame me.” Justin chuckled next to her, and she felt like jabbing him in the ribs, but she held back. “Justin is everything I need.”

Her father’s gaze narrowed when it rested on Justin, and she could tell he stiffened next to her. “Forgive me, but I’ll reserve judgment until I know him a little better.”

“We probably should get going.
