Chapter Eleven

Okay. She was meeting the Kaids.

The Kaids.

Sam was driving her to meet the actual real-life Kaid brothers.

Wes and Hunter Kaid were legends. They owned the biggest ranch around these parts, and they were rough-and-tumble sorts who had put many-a-man through the windows of local bars. All the girls in town swooned over them. Even after they’d paired up with Maris and Sadey, the ladies in town became like little vultures, gossiping about any trouble in paradise they imagined.

“I saw Summer Kaid in the coffee shop the other day and she looked upset. She was frowning. Probably can’t handle Wes’s mood swings…”

No, she was probably just tired, hence why she was getting coffee.

Cassidy had even heard a mother hen at the Brown Stag Bar in town say that Hunter Kaid’s lady, Sadey, looked like she had narrow hips and probably wouldn’t get pregnant.

People were ridiculous with rumors in small towns.

But still, all the things she’d heard about the Kaids—their violence, mystery, anti-social tendencies, and their bullying prices at auctions—affected her nerves now.

She clutched the bottle of red wine in a stranglehold.

“You smell scared.” Sam’s voice was a gritty animal tone.

“Not scared…just nervous.”

His dark eyebrows furrowed deep over his chocolate brown eyes. “Why?”

“Well, because your brothers are intimidating. The whole town knows who they are. They’re like royalty around here. But royalty who has beat the shit out of several mouthy guys in town. Their reputation is a little nerve-racking.”

Sam shrugged. “Wes and Hunter aren’t the ones you should worry about.”

“What? Then who?”

“Bryson Locke. Grizzly bear shifter and off his rocker half the time. I wouldn’t bring you here if I thought you were in danger,” Sam said, turning under the Kaid Brother’s Ranch sign. “If they piss you off, just tell me, and I’ll kill them.”

She huffed a relieved laugh.

“I’m serious.”

And, eek, if he didn’t sound serious. She’d forgotten that Sam was dangerous because, well, she felt safe with him.

Her survival instincts were broken.

Sam reached across and squeezed her hand in a sign of affection that shocked her. He released her fast and mumbled, “I saw Wes do that with Summer once.”

Cassidy pursed her lips against a smile. Sam was gruff, strong, and didn’t take shit from anyone, but he was trying to match the needs he thought she had. A rich man could buy a million roses and fill her life with them, but they wouldn’t mean as much as Sam, working on himself just to make sure she was happy. A man who put in the effort to work on himself for the comfort of another person? It was hard work. The hardest work, perhaps. He didn’t have much, but what he did have, he gave her. That much was evident in the time he spent on her dad’s old car, in breakfast every morning, in the time with his horse, listening to her while she trained them both. It was in the way he said goodbye every day before he left to go back to work at the Kaid Ranch.
