Chapter 15

Booker

Ishouldn’t have kissed her. I also shouldn’t have brought her into my shower last night and let us wash each other with soap. But alas, I’d done both, and now I was royally regretting it. Brynne was here for one reason, and that was to get the damn deed back for this fucking ranch. Not to chisel her way into my granite heart and make me fucking feel.

I’d left her in my bed this morning—because of course, she’d slept next to me—and found Austin and Henley in the kitchen. Austin was lucky. He wasn’t the one falling for a girl he had no business catching feelings for. He had his fun with her, and walked away without a worry in the world. But me? I’d started caring for her after the first time I made her come uncontrollably, and that’s where I was going wrong. For some fucking reason, though, I couldn’t fucking stop.

The woman had wrapped herself around my head—both of them.

“She sending the text today?” Austin asked, not looking up from where he sliced into a sausage.

I stared at the knife in his hand, hesitating, which was a mistake, because Austin’s eyes shot to me. “Oh no.”

I looked at him. “What?”

“Don’t tell me you’re feeling soft.”

I shifted on my feet the slightest bit, but of course he fucking noticed that, too.

He set the knife down on the counter. “She’s here for a reason, Booker.”

“Well the fuck aware,” I said, biting out each word.

Henley shook his head where he sat, as if he had a fucking right to be disappointed in me.

I pinned my glare on him. “You got something to say, asshole?”

He looked at me like he was fucking innocent in this. “Don’t lose sight of the plan.”

I scoffed, stepping closer to him so he had to tilt his head up at me. I only had a couple inches on him, but it made all the difference in the world right now with him perched on his seat. “We wouldn’t need this fucking plan if you hadn’t gotten us into this bullshit mess in the first place.”

Henley stood, the stool tipping over onto the tile floor. “Don’t take your feelings for her out on me.”

One more step, and our noses were nearly touching. “Or what, Henley? Huh? It’s not like you can do any more damage than you’ve already done.”

Then, his fist swung, and my jaw snapped to the side. My nostrils flared as I tried to keep my calm, tasting blood in my mouth from where the inside of my cheek had snagged on my tooth. Austin stood to the side, shaking his head. But it wasn’t him who kept me from swinging. It was the little pitter patter of feet coming down the stairs.

“Good morn— Oh my fuck! What happened?” Brynne rushed over, stepping in front of me and placing those delicate little hands on my face to turn it every which way like she was a fucking nurse or something.

I batted her hands away, stepping back.
