Trial By Fire (2016)
““Oh, she did miss us,” she wailed, and Lachlan had left her to Dad, knowing she needed to blubber some.
Took three days for Miz Margery to feel well enough to go shop, and it was Ryan and Dez, of all people, who drove them into Dallas. Mr. Brandon and Dad rode out together to play cowboy too, Mr. Brandon drilling Dad on his roping skills, which were rusty, but surprisingly good.
Lachlan, he spent three glorious days with Holden and Chloe, stealing kisses from one and snuggles from the other.
Holden asked him endless questions, curiosity never sated. “What’s your favorite band? Do they really make lamb and mushroom pies? What the hell is Vegemite?”
He discovered that Holden was covered in scars, tiny ones, huge ones. They came from ropes and bulls, from horses and fences and fights. All the myths about the American cowboy were alive and well, in that little bitty body.
Lachlan grinned, the very idea of the night before making his body thrum with tension. He’d spread Holden out in the b...ed and looked at every bit of him, leaving the lights on so he could see what he held.MoreLess
