She cocked her head to the side and studied me. “This isn’t code for coming back here to have sex?”
A grin tugged at my mouth. “What a naughty mind you have, red. Has it always been like this or only ever since I popped your cherry?”
She flushed as red as a cherry and I loved it. “Are you serious?” she asked, all joking aside.
She worked two jobs, took care of a deadbeat dad and paid all the bills for both of them. Since she was fourteen? Seriously?
“You don’t love the Feed and Seed, then come work for me,” I repeated. “I admit, the offer is very selfish because then I’ll see you all the time. Or, I bet Katie would take you back. She’s pregnant and I know for sure Bray’s not letting her on a horse, let alone near the back end of one. She can’t lift anything either. You want a second job, you go work for them.”
She smiled and I reached out and tugged her back onto the bed. I couldn’t help myself.
“Cam!”
I leaned over her and kissed the side of her neck. If I got her lips or any part of her body now covered in cozy cotton, she wouldn’t be out of this bed for the rest of the day.
“Come work for me,” I repeated. “Or Katie. But me, first. Tell Andy to fuck off.”
“I will not!” she shouted. “But I will quit at the Feed and Seed. Not Wild Wild Wilderness because the owner lets me use one of the horses for barrel racing.”
“Which you haven’t done recently,” I prodded. Not since July and the county fair.
“Which I haven’t done,” she agreed. “I’ll… I’ll get back to it when I don’t feel–”
“Guilty?”
She nodded.
“When you’re Taylor Wilder, you’ll racewithyour sister-in-law.”
She stared up at me. Wide eyed. I pretty much just told her we were getting married and she was taking my name.
“Call Katie,” I said. “Use one of her horses. Or hell, we’ll get you one.”
Her eyes widened. “Cam, you can’t justgetme a horse!”
“Sure, I can. My Red needs a horse? I get you a horse. Like orgasms. I give my girl what she needs.”
I tickled her sides and she laughed. “You’re ridiculous,” she sputtered. “Okay, okay! I’ll work for you… and maybe Katie.”
Thank fuck.
“Good girl.” I rolled from the bed and walked into the bathroom. Before I shut the door, I looked her way. “Later, we’re gonna get your things from your house. You’re staying here from now on.”
I shut the door before there was any kind of discussion on the topic. Because there wasn’t going to be any. She’d given me her cherry behind The Roadside and I claimed her last night. My cum was inside her. There was no going back now.

TAYLOR
“What’sthis I hear about you being with Cam Wilder?” Dad asked, a few days later.
I just sat my purse down and shut the front door behind me.
I’d been to the house a few times since the fight, getting clothes that I needed without running into my dad.
Until now.
I finished at the Feed and Seed a little while ago and had texted Cam that I was headed to my dad’s.
