“Yes, I just showed you this because I wanted a latte. Trust me, I’m not as snotty as that sounded. It’s just that I’ve probably already drunk two pots of coffee today, and this relaxes me.” She turned and looked around at all the boxes and sighed. “Now I have to unpack everything.”

“Do you want help?”

“No offense, but not really.”

“Okay, I’ll leave you to unpack. If you like, I can come over tomorrow and give you a closer tour of the ranch.”

“I’d like that,” she said with a nod, and watched the most handsome man she had ever seen walk out her front door. She sighed heavily, waved her hand before her face, then got to work by taking care of her groceries first, before tackling the rest of her unpacking.

CHAPTER 10

Around six the next morning,Kevin held a steaming mug of fresh coffee and stepped out onto his front porch. He knew he shouldn’t, but his eyes were immediately drawn to the cabin across from him, thinking he might see Yvonne standing there. After meeting her the day before, his thoughts hadn’t strayed from her. He wondered what her story was, or if she even had a story. Not that it mattered, not everyone was broken like he was. Though, he wasn’t really broken, at least now that he wasn’t living every day with his ex-wife, he didn’t think he was broken. He knew his destiny was out there somewhere, he just needed to get his head out of his ass and look for it.

As he sat in the chair on his front porch, sipping his coffee, he froze when the door in the cabin he had been studying opened, and his heart beat faster. He didn’t want to look like he was spying on her, so he called out.

“Good morning!” At her start, he rose to his feet, went to the top of the steps, and lifted his mug toward her.

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t see you sitting on your porch.”

“No problem, how did you sleep?”

“Like a log,” she laughed, and Kevin had to grit his teeth as it went directly to his cock.

Not knowing what else to say, and not wanting to shout across the drive and risk the others hearing them, he started down his steps, and walked toward her. When he was close enough that he didn’t have to raise his voice, he saluted her with his still steaming mug.

“When did you want to get together to take the tour?”

“Have you had breakfast?”

“Not yet, why?”

“Why don’t you join me, and we can go afterward.”

“Let me run back over and grab a few things.”

“Sure,” Yvonne said, and sighed heavily as he walked away and she caught sight of his fabulous ass again. She waited, sipping her coffee until he returned. She didn’t say anything, but only raised her brow at what he carried.

“Sorry, couldn’t let the coffee go to waste.” He held up a thermos he had poured his fresh pot into.

“Okay, but what’s in the basket?”

“Oh, eggs. My sister-in-law has chickens and she provides eggs for everyone.” He saw her shocked expression and grinned.

“For free?”

“Sort of,” he followed her inside and put the basket on the counter, then turned to her. “We all chip in a few dollars, enough for her to pay for her feed, oh, and the processing fees.”

“Processing?” She looked at him in confusion as she pulled out a package of sausage, and some vegetables. She looked at him directly. “I forgot to purchase bacon, so how about a sausage and veggie omelet?”

“Sounds good, let me cut up the veggies for you.” They worked in harmony, almost like they had been together for a long time. She looked up as she whipped up the eggs and frowned. “Your sister-in-law.”

Kevin sighed and shook his head. “It’s complicated.” At her look, and sudden stiffening. “Okay, not that complicated. Can I explain while we eat?”

“Sure,” she said and kept her opinions to herself. As she dished up the omelets, he buttered the toast. They didn’t speak until they were halfway through the meal, then Kevin nodded.

“Okay, Erin said she gave you the tour yesterday?”

“We didn’t get out of the truck at RRR or Broken Two. We did at Broken Wheel.”
