get into her pants. Not every man was a pig. But in a second she
was brought down to Earth by the unforgiving McReed brothers and their seeds of
doubt. Why couldn’t they be happy for her? Just because they didn’t see the
value of taking wives for themselves, didn’t mean she wanted to be alone
forever, too.
    “He likes me,” she insisted. “Have you never heard
of love at first sight?”
    “You’re in love now, are you, little one?” asked
Colton, humor in his tone.
    She shrugged.
    “Horny cowboys are a dime a dozen at these rodeo
events. Guarantee you he’s already forgotten your name, darlin’.”
    “Thanks a lot, Colt. Just help me get the cows out.”
    Eva wasn’t naïve enough to give her heart to the
first stranger she came across, but she wasn’t going to throw away any
opportunities either. Wade was handsome and made her feel attractive and
desirable. Just thinking of seeing him again at his bull riding event made her
stomach flutter. She wondered if the McReed brothers would be a wrench in her
plans the entire week.
    After getting the animals checked into the holding
paddock for new arrivals, they had to line up at the registration desk set up
just outside a large barn. It was a mad house, people arguing and shoving,
cursing and threatening. Eva kept her mouth shut and stayed safely between
Colton and North. There was a makeshift tarp set up to keep the direct sunlight
off everyone waiting in line, but the rays still managed to get to where she
was standing.
    Another thing she noticed were the number of buckle
bunnies hanging around the periphery, just waiting to sink their claws into an
unsuspecting cowboy.
    One of them wore a barely-there shirt, showing off
her midriff. Her jean shorts didn’t even cover her whole rear end. Eva knew the
woman wasn’t a real cowgirl because her boots didn’t have a scuff on them and
her make-up and hair were coiffed to perfection. It was all an illusion, a trap
to snag her prey.
    Eva didn’t wear make-up. If she was lucky, she
remembered to put on moisturizer in the morning. Her mother frequently told her
about the benefits of keeping the skin supple and natural. When she noted
Colton and North whispering and gawking at the scantily-clad women, she looked
down at herself and began to feel self-conscious. Her jeans were fitted but worn
out, and her blouse covered all her skin except her forearms. But Wade seemed
to think she looked good enough, and that’s all that mattered. She hoped he didn’t
judge a woman by the size of their chest like the twins. They were so busy
staring at all the cleavage that she had to prod them to move forward in the
line every time it shortened.
    After registering, they unhitched the trailer in the
large field on the perimeter of the main event areas. Colton fell asleep within
half an hour of entering the camper, and North rummaged through the small
fridge. They’d had a long day and early start. Now it was almost dinner hour.
    “I can’t believe they made us come here today when
the event doesn’t start for five days,” she said. “You could have had all that
time to work your fields.” She felt bad forcing the brothers to be idle when
they had a massive workload back home. But they were the ones insisting on
accompanying her.
    “Everyone has to register today, Eva. If they don’t,
they’re out,” said North.
    They sat on either side of the small laminated
table. North bit into an apple, the crunch obscenely loud in the small trailer.
He wouldn’t look her in the eyes, obviously still upset due to the drama from
yesterday.
    “You’re still mad at me.”
    He scowled. “I’m not mad at you.” After another bite
of apple, he continued, “I just wish you hadn’t come over without asking.”
    “Like you? You must crawl in through my window at
least twice a week. Sometimes I don’t even know you’re in my room until I climb
into bed.”
    “That’s different.”
    “Really? How so?”
    He leaned back in his chair,
