WEST WAS UP with the sun the next morning, and he made sure that Emmett was up with him. It was his first day at the school on the Dalton property. And West figured it was as good a time as any for him to go and spend some quality time with his brothers.

The ass crack of dawn, after a night spent not sleeping, which as far as he was concerned was pretty damned unfair considering the strength of the orgasm he had.

He was a man who’d been dead below the waist, for all intents and purposes, for the last few years. You’d think that he would’ve been able to hijack the benefits of his climax. But no.

He’d been worried about her. All damned night.

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been worried about another person other than Emmett.

But hell, he was worried about her.

He had a feeling, though, that him showing up at her house unannounced in the middle of the night wouldn’t have been taken too kindly.

So, he left her alone.

He’d tossed and turned for a while, then gone downstairs and got a beer and sat up, watching TV till he fell into a half sleep on the couch that had lasted until about 5 a.m. And now, he and Emmett were just pulling into the ranch property.

“Are we early?” Emmett grumbled.

“Yep,” he said. “You sure are. But, it’s good to be early on your first day.”

“Is it?”

“When I was a kid I used to stay up late and watch these old reruns on the Disney Channel. There was stuff from... I don’t know, the nineteen fifties, probably. They used to talk a lot about work ethic. Show up fifteen minutes early at least,” West said. “I took that to heart.”

“We are more than fifteen minutes early.”

“Maybe,” West said. “But I don’t think the literal time is as important as the concept. You want to set yourself apart. You want to make sure that you work harder.”

“Why would I want to work harder?”

“Because nothing in life gets handed to you, Emmett. No one is standing around waiting to give kids like us a handout. So we can either stay in the exact same place our parents put us, or we can figure out how to do something different.”

“I’m not better than where I came from,” Emmett said. “I expect you think you are.”

“I don’t know that I’m better, but I want better. What kind of life do you see having?”

“I don’t know,” Emmett said.

He knew what that was like. To be afraid to think too far ahead. When you were a kid whose life was governed by the adults that were supposed to take care of you, you didn’t the hell know what might come next.

But until you got past that, until you could get to a place where you could dream... You were stuck.

“You’re being given an opportunity here,” West said. “Make something of it.”

“Why do you care?”

He didn’t know. He really couldn’t answer that, because in the grand scheme of things he didn’t care about much that wasn’t him.
