“Well, I spent the rest of the weekend with her, and as it turns out, she’s married.” He lets that sink in for a bit before going on. “And I just got the pleasure of meeting her husband while I was balls deep inside her.”
My eyes shoot to my hairline, and I rub the spot between them to relieve the headache that’s already forming.
My youngest brother is Lavender Falls biggest playboy and has found himself in trouble a few times, but this definitely takes the cake.
As a million dollar Bronc rider, the women flock to him.
“While I’m not proud of it, I do feel like it’s a little funny because you’ll never guess who her husband is.”
A smile stretches his face, and all I wanna do is smack it off.
“Beck Maythorn.” He snickers, and my jaw drops.
“Jesus Christ, Hayes. Your rival’s wife? Really, man?”
“I didn’t know! But hey, at least I got something to throw him off his game in the pen.” He waggles his brows, and I glare at him in return.
Beckett Maythorn has been Hayes biggest rival since his early bronc days. The two often neck and neck at rodeos. I didn’t even know the guy was married, which is odd in a town so small. Everyone usually knows everything about everyone.
“You have issues. Now get out of my station.” I stand and shout for Cade.
“What’s up? Oh, hey, man. What the hell happened to you?” My brother scowls at Hayes.
“Slept with a dude's wife.” He shrugs, like it’s no big deal.
Cade’s mouth drops open. “What the fuck? What the hell were you thinking, man?”
“Does it make it better that it was Beck Maythorn’s wife?”
“Wait. As in that burly bronc rider that hates your guts?”
“That’s the one.” Hayes shoots finger guns at Cade, and we both shake our heads.
“Okay, I’ve got shit to do. Hayes, take your drama out of my station. Cade, drive him home.”
My middle brother sighs. “Come on, then. And don’t get blood anywhere in my truck.” He smacks the back of Hayes’s head as he walks past him, and I don’t blame him. I’d like to give him a little swat too.
Two hours later, I’m lost in paperwork when Cade knocks on my door.
“Ran into mom when I dropped Hayes off. Her and the tornadoes were out on the side-by-side. I was instructed to invite you out for dinner this evening. Wrenley will be there.”
“I thought she was staying in Hadley for the summer?”
“I guess she changed her mind. Ma said she’ll be staying in the guest cabin for a while.”
“Huh. Well, it’ll be good to have her back then.”
“Maysie is over the moon. She missed Wren.”
“She’ll have Maysie hanging upside down on the back of a horse before summer ends.” I chuckle.
My sister Wrenley is a wild one. Between Hayes and Wren, my parents had their hands full. If it wasn’t Hayes getting into trouble for missing curfew and being out all night with Sarah, it was Wrenley giving Ma and Pa heart attacks when they’d find her out stunting on her horse. She was really good, but they never did let her compete much. Especially not after her accident.
“Ugh. Please don’t be giving those girls any ideas. Maysie is already too much like Wren for my liking.” He runs a hand through his hair, and I laugh.
My niece may only be four, but she sure keeps my brother on his toes. Colter, Cade’s twin, likes to rag on him about who will get grey hair first.
Ian steps into my office and greets Cade before turning to me. “I was going to head to the deli for lunch. You guys wanna join?” he asks us.
