Charly tried to keep her feelings in check as Tobias’s truck approached the city limits of Wilde. The plane ride back had been done in complete silence. Now she was vibrating with a mix of anger, confusion, and hurt. Keeping her mouth shut was no longer possible.

She blurted out, “Afraid to go against the grain? I didn’t take you to be someone who gave a damn about what other people thought. Wait…that was your brother Nate. You could learn a thing or two from him, mister.”

It seemed that Tobias gripped the steering wheel a little tighter, as his knuckles turned white.

Her blood was boiling, and her heart was breaking. “What? Surely you have something to say, cowboy. You told me you wanted me, and now you’ve had me. I suppose that’s all you wanted and it’s enough for you.”

“Hell, woman. I told you I loved you, and I don’t say those words lightly. In fact, you’re the first woman I’ve ever said that to.” His tone sounded angry but also sincere. She could handle his ire. It would likely fade. But he’d been clear with her already that he didn’t believe that he and his five brothers would ever make a family with her. So honesty wasn’t going to solve her problem.

Tobias turned left and pulled up to the Hotel Cactus, next to the shining streetlamp. She opened her door and jumped out, slamming it behind her. There wasn’t anything else to say to him, so she ran for the entrance.

He got out of his truck and bolted straight for her. “Wait, Charly. I am not done yet.”

“What else is there to say?” She turned to face him. “You’ve already decided my life and the life of your brothers, Tobias.”

“I can’t change how things go down in this town. I’m telling you, Charly, I would love it if I could.” He put both his hands on her shoulders. “My brothers mean the world to me. But even my parents would never bless such an unconventional union.”

“Ha! That’s where you’re wrong, cowboy. Your parents are on board with this.”

His eyebrows shot up. “What?”

“Yes. We talked about it at the Horseshoe when you guys were outside. They’re not afraid to break tradition. Too bad their eldest son is.” She jerked free of him and shot straight for the front door of the hotel without looking back. She wanted to be alone in her room. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but she didn’t turn back to see if he followed. She didn’t want him to see her cry.
