going on since I'd done my morning's work and was bored out of my mind, I get into trouble when I'm bored.
The men were having some sort of pow wow it looked like because everyone was here. Colton stood in front of them giving out orders for some up coming riding event.
The way he stood with his arms folded across his muscular chest, legs braced apart as he looked down at his men like a king with his subjects did something to me.
It might sound weird but I wanted to worship at his feet, I'd never seen a more beautiful human being in my life. Too bad he would eat me for breakfast and keep going.
Men like him didn't fall for girls like me, if only.
He turned that piercing green gaze on me as if sensing my scrutiny, my inner turmoil.
His eyes travelled up and down my body before settling once more on my eyes.
"Something on your mind Sloan?"
Eeek, I just soiled my panties.
I should start charging him for those,a girl could only go through so many panties before she ran out.
"Well!"
He hardly speaks but he sure does get his point across, I think one of his hard glares is worse than a shout.
"Going back to work sir."
Oh shit, I remembered the sir thing too late as I made a bee line for the office.
I could hear the soft drone of his voice as he continued speaking to the men before there was a line of footsteps tromping back to the shop.
It wasn't long before the door was opened and you know who came in.
Working here, take your sexy eyes and bitable ass on down the hall thank you very much.
"What are you thinking about now?"
"Uh...excuse me?"
I hate this stupid bun, if I wore my hair down I could hide behind it, with my hair pulled back like this he could see my blush.
"You're blushing again, do I make you nervous or something?"
I was shaking my head before he was through, and why was that? I'd just realized that he didn't make me nervous at all, in fact this whole place made me feel safe, I had no doubt it was because he was here. Weird.
Funny, I hadn't even thought of it until now, but my dad and Jared were the only two males I'd been able to spend anytime around without going into panic mode.
The thought made me smile, maybe, just maybe, I was healing.

What the fuck is she smiling about now, I think Jake sold me a lemon, I just can't figure out what the hell is the issue.
When she isn't blushing like a medieval virgin, she's tearing into someone or smiling for no damn reason.
"Are you trying to make me crazy?"
"No sir...uh...uhm...nope."
She shook her head again.
"I'm going to start tallying up those sirs and hold them for future payment, now was there something you needed before?"
"No...ahem...no, nothing."
She was one strange duck, now her voice sounded like she was strangling.
Where the fuck is Jared, I'm gonna kick his ass, his 'little sister' was driving me nuts, kept me up all night wondering about her, the fuck, that's not my style.
Besides, I don't have time for some little wilting flower with split personality disorder or whatever the fuck.
"What's going on with you and Jared?"
Real smooth Lyon, why don't you just drag her by her hair into your lair.
"Jared, like what?"
Good, she didn't seem to pick up on the undertone of pissed off in my voice.
One of the reasons I'd been up all night was because of that little byplay I'd witnessed between those two yesterday.
"Forget it, I'm in the shop."
I turned and left before I made an even bigger ass of myself.
I don't know who she was getting to me, she wasn't even my type, except for those eyes of hers she didn't really have anything going for her, she wore her hair like an old school marm, her clothes were less than anything approaching attractive and she was nuts.
Not a very enticing combination, so why the fuck was she the only thing I could think of for the last twenty four hours?
Fucking Jared.
Instead of going to the shop I decided to go for a ride and clear my head, there was no point in staying around here with her so near,
