pushed the truck to the end of the parking lot and next to Trent’s.
The tall drink of spitfire water pulled the parking brake and climbed down. “Thanks.”
“Let’s see if we can get Audrey to let us in long enough to wash up,” Isaac said.
Trent snorted. “Did you forget so soon?”
“Oh yeah, back door’s locked. And even if we go in front, we won’t get past Greta Sue.”
“Tell me about it.” The woman crossed her arms beneath her breasts, only emphasizing their lovely swell.
His cock twitching, Trent couldn’t help but stare.
Isaac smiled, his gaze on her breasts as well. “If I mention I was helping Audrey, she’d let me in. I think deep down she likes me.”
Trent shook his head, not at all interested in getting inside the Ugly Stick when the women in there were hungry with lust and not afraid to attack anything male. “I think I’ll stay out here.”
“Suit yourself,” Isaac said.
“I need to talk to Audrey again,” the woman said. “I’d appreciate if you could get me in too.”
“Done.” Isaac led the way confidently.
When the sandy blonde started to follow, Trent snagged her arm and held her back. She smelled of sunshine and the outdoors, unlike many of the women doused in perfume that reminded him of bug repellent. “Is this why you wanted in to see Audrey?” He spoke in a low voice so that his brother didn’t hear.
She stared at the hand on her arm. “What do you think?”
He touched his sore nose. “I think you’re trouble.”
Her gaze turned stony, her lips thinning. “Let go of me.”
Trent’s eyes narrowed. He’d struck a nerve. What kind of trouble was she keeping to herself, besides knocking Audrey’s truck into a ditch and nearly breaking his nose?
He released her arm. “Despite your propensity for bad luck, I still find myself wanting that kiss.”
“Keep wantin’. You’re not getting it.” She spun and walked away, without glancing back.
Trent’s gaze followed her all the way into the Ugly Stick.
What was it about her that made him look twice? She wasn’t his usual type. Too tall, too thin and on the tomboy side.
She’d had the courage and strength to outsmart him and shove him out the door. He could admire that in a woman. And those well-rounded breasts beneath the tank top. Mmm . He could admire those as well. Then again, she wasn’t from around Temptation or Hole in the Wall. Either that, or he hadn’t noticed her. For all he knew, she was passing through. Just as well. He had too much work on the ranch to get involved, even if he still wanted a taste of those kissable lips.
He shrugged and went back to where Nick, driving the tow truck, was pulling Audrey’s bright red pickup out of the ditch.
Jackson stood to one side, frowning.
“Much damage?”
“The right front fender has a big dent and one of the headlights is broken. Other than that, it’s drivable.”
Nick stopped once the truck was on level ground. He set the tow truck in park and climbed down. “Want me to take it to the body shop in Hole in the Wall?”
“Might as well,” Jackson said. “You and Trent want to come back in for a drink first?”
“I got Lacy waiting at the house.” Nick’s lips stretched into a big grin. “I’d rather have a drink with her. She just texted me that she’s bored and naked.”
“And you’re standing here?” Jackson waved at him. “Go. Bye. Worry about getting Audrey’s truck to the body shop tomorrow.”
“I’ll park it at my shop until the morning.” Nick climbed into the tow truck and drove away, pulling the red truck behind him.
“Where’d Isaac go?” Jackson asked.
Trent jerked his head toward the saloon. “To sweet talk his way past Greta Sue.”
“Come on, we’ll find a way in through the back door and avoid her altogether. Libby can get you a beer while I touch base with Audrey.”
Trent rounded the building again. Charli, one of the waitresses, was hauling a bag full of trash through the back
