Love Profound (Cowboys & Angels 2)

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Don’t be. I’m not. I never felt anything for Liam but attraction. He’s a great guy, but he wasn’t the guy.”

Thank fuck. Amelia deserved better than some schmuck who was only interested in sex.

“I guess it’s good you figured that out before it was too late.”

She laughed. “Yeah. So how are things going? Are you settling in with everything?”

“I am.” We rode next to one another as the storm moved in closer. “Your parents are amazing. First, your dad had the foreman’s cabin fumigated and now he is insisting on updating everything. He really doesn’t have to go through all the trouble.”

“He wants to. Besides, it needed some new paint. It was remodeled a few years back, but Daddy never replaced the old crap furniture.”

Letting out a chuckle, I replied, “Well, I would have been fine with it.”

“Have you been to Cord’s to sing yet?”

“Nah. We’re all going out tonight, though.”

“Who’s we all?”

“Your brothers. I guess it’s the first time in a while they’ve all had the same night off.”

Amelia whistled. “Ah hell, look out. All five Parker boys out at the same time…and with you. The girls will be swarming tonight.”

“Very funny.”

“Wade, have you not been out yet with all my brothers?”

I shrugged. “Trevor and I have gone out.”

“Take that and multiply it by five…no, six. Six hot guys, most of them on the prowl, and the women come out of the woodwork.”

“You think I’m hot?”

She was looking straight ahead, and then her head snapped over to look at me. She faked a shock expression. “Did I say that?”

Tipping my cowboy hat at her, I replied, “Yes, ma’am, you did.”

With a half-hearted shrug, she added, “I mean, you’re decent lookin’, I guess.”

“I’ll take it. What about you and Waylynn? Would y’all like to join us?”

“That might be just what the doctor ordered for both of us.”

“Now, don’t feel obligated. I don’t want to cramp your style. Two beautiful women in the company of five hot guys and one half-decent looking one.”

Amelia fought to hold her smile back. “You think I’m beautiful, Wade?”

Our eyes locked. “Yes, I do, darlin’.”

Her smile faded.

Shit, that came out too soon. I don’t want to scare her away.

Pressing her lips together, she asked, “Can I show you something?”

I grinned. “Of course, you can.”

She kicked her horse lightly and started off in a trot. “It’s right up here.”

We were soon going down a path and an old cabin appeared.

“Wow.”

She glanced over her shoulder. “I know. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

I slid off of Rio and draped his reins over his neck.

The smile Amelia wore was contagious. She grabbed my hand and hauled me up the porch. She unlocked the door and walked us in.

“This is beautiful,” I said.

“The cabin,” she whispered. “I have written a lot of books here. I love it. My thinking is clearer here. Well, when my damn brothers aren’t bringing women here to fuck.”

I swallowed hard. The sound of that word coming from her lips instantly made my dick hard.

“I can see why you’d love to write here. It’s very inspiring.”

The way she looked at me made my chest tighten. Her eyes turned dark, and I could have sworn she had naughty thoughts running through that pretty little head of hers.

“It’s very inspiring.” Her teeth dug into her lip. If we stayed in this cabin much longer I was afraid I might do or say something I couldn’t take back.

Finally, she broke eye contact. “Anyway, you’re more than welcome to come here if you want.”

My brows pulled together. I wanted to ask what made her think I’d need to come to the cabin.

“I’m just saying it’s a nice escape. You know if you wanted to disappear for a bit, this is the place to go. The key is under the mat if you ever…want…something. Um, if you want to…get um…”

It was cute as fucking hell how she was stumbling over her words. I wouldn’t have thought Amelia Parker was one to stumble over anything.

“Get lost?” I asked.

She pointed and jumped. “Yes! Get lost.”

I nodded.

“You want to race back to the house?” she asked, changing the subject before the sexual tension in the room grew.

I let a crooked grin spread over my face. “You don’t think you could beat me, do you?”

Her hands went to her hips. “Think? Oh, Mr. Adams, I know I can.”

We were soon back on our horses, making our way into the pasture. I kicked Rio and took off as Amelia yelled out, “Cheater!”

“Dude, why do you keep staring at the door? You waiting for someone?” Trevor asked.

“No. I’m not waiting for anyone.”

Trevor grinned. “Good. Look around, brother. Endless pussy at your disposal. You walk up to any of them, and I promise you’ll get some. Even if it’s only a hand job.”

I laughed and took a long drink of my beer. “You haven’t changed a damn bit, Parker.”
