“Hello, may I help you?”
“Morning, ma’am. Tyler in?” I asked with a tip of my hat.
Her teeth sank into her lip, and she didn’t try to hide the fact that she was eyeing me from top to bottom.
“He is. May I tell him your name?”
“Wade Adams.”
She picked up her phone and hit a few numbers. “Mr. Minor, there is a Mr. Wade Adams here to see you. Yes, sir.”
She hung up the phone and stood. “If you’ll follow me, Mr. Adams. I’ll show you to his office.”
I did as she asked. I couldn’t help but notice how she threw her hips out while she walked. She stopped and stepped to the side, inviting me to enter Tyler’s office.
Tyler stood and rounded his desk while he reached his hand out to shake. “Damn. It’s good seeing you, Adams.”
“Good seeing you, too.”
“You want coffee, water?” Tyler asked while motioning to the receptionist. “Laney can get it for you.”
I held up my hands. “No, I can’t stay, Amelia’s waiting in the truck for me.”
Tyler drew his head back in question. “Amelia…as in Trevor’s little sister, Amelia?”
“Yeah. She needed to pick something up in town so she drove along with me.”
“Uh-huh. Did Trevor buy that excuse?”
Hitting him on the shoulder, I rolled my eyes. “Knock it off. It’s not like that.”
“Is she hot?”
“I’m not answering you, Tyler. Now, do you want this sample or not?”
He reached for it and sighed. “I can’t believe you won’t even throw me a bone.”
I sighed, knowing that if I didn’t give him something, he would keep at it. “She’s a very attractive young woman.”
Tyler packaged the sample and handed it to Laney, who was still waiting. “Here you go, Laney. Will you get that going for me?”
She nodded then excused herself, but not before giving me another once-over.
Tyler went on. “In other words, you think she’s fucking hot, but won’t admit it because she’s Parker’s baby sister.”
Laughing, I replied, “Something like that.”
“I always figured she was hot. Hell, look at Parker. Never in my life saw a guy get as much pussy as him.”
I pushed my hands into my pockets. “Trevor wanted me to invite you out, two weeks from this Friday. He’s having a party.”
Tyler’s brows lifted. “Oh, yeah? What kind of a party?”
“Welcome home party for his sister, Waylynn. She moved back to Texas from New York a few weeks back.”
“Count me in. Have him text me the details. Would he mind if I brought a date?”
“A date?” I asked with a surprised look on my face. “You still with Lee?”
He grinned. “Planning on asking her to marry me soon. Just haven’t found the right ring.”
I nodded. “Good for you. Y’all were always good together. Okay, well, I best get going. Amelia is sitting in the truck.”
Tyler motioned for me to head out of his office. I knew he was planning to walk me out just so he could get a look at Amelia.
“What about you, Adams? You dating anyone?”
“Nah, I’m not looking right now. Not after what happened with Caroline.”
He slapped my back and pushed the door open. “I get it, man. I do.”
Letting out a whistle, Tyler looked at me then back to Amelia. She glanced up and smiled.
Damn. She is beautiful.
Her light red hair was pulled up into a sloppy bun on top of her head. A pencil was pushed behind her ear, giving her a look of innocence.
“Holy shit. She is fucking hot.”
As we got closer to the truck, Amelia rolled the window down.
“Amelia, this is Tyler Minor. Trevor and I went to school with him at A&M.”
She stuck her hand out the window and flashed him an adorable smile. “Pleasure to meet you, Tyler.”
“Pleasure’s all mine. Heard a lot about you.”
Amelia rolled her eyes. “Lord knows what Trevor has said.”
“I believe he said you were joining a convent.”
Laughing at the memory, I shook my head. Trevor had told us everything to keep us uninterested in his sister—even said she was a lesbian.
“Trust me, a convent has never crossed my mind,” Amelia said.
Her eyes swung over to me before she brought her attention back to Tyler. I hoped he didn’t read anything into that. Even though I definitely had.
“A woman as beautiful as you? I’m sure your brother would say anything to turn away his horny, college friends.”
She laughed, and I was startled by how it made my body warm. I cleared my throat and said, “Well, we better get going. Still have a few stops to make.”
Tyler shook my hand. “I’ll get those results back to you right away.”
“Appreciate that, Ty. I’ll see you in a few weeks, then?”
He gave my shoulder a good squeeze. “Hell, yeah. I’m in.”
After shaking hands once more, I walked around the truck and got in.
“So, is that the Tyler who ran around A&M naked?”
I started the truck and faced her. “Um, no. That was me.”
