Ride Me Cowboy #4 (The Cowboy Romance Series - Book #4) (9 page)

“Hi, Lexi, what’s going on? Is Mark okay?”

“I’m fine, Emily. Have you seen Taylor recently?”

“Um…yeah. I’m sorry, Mark. She’s been going around
telling anyone who will listen that you’re…um…that you and your sister are…”

“A couple?”

“Yeah, only not that nicely. She’s a vindictive
little witch, Mark. I’m sorry. Most people who know Taylor know that. I don’t
think most people even listen to anything she says anymore….”

“Thanks, Emily.”

“Of course. How did the rodeo go?” I remembered how
happy I was just a few minutes ago. I was on cloud nine and now…shit!

“I came in second,” I told her.

“Awesome! Congratulations.”

“Thanks.” I said goodbye, hung up and looked at
Lexi. “They know.”

“Yeah, I kind of gathered that,” she said. I could
tell she was shaking even from where I sat. The first chance I had, I pulled
the truck off the road. “What are you doing?”

I scooted over a few inches towards her and put my
arm around her. “It’s going to be okay,” I said. I could feel her trembling. “Are
you okay, baby?”

She nodded. “I think the best thing to do is tell
the truth,” she said. “If they already know, there’s no sense in trying to deny
it, right?”

She put her head over onto my shoulder. I wished it
weren’t all so complicated once again. “We’ll do whatever we need to do to get
through this together, baby.”

“I keep playing it through in my head and keep
thinking that if they are mad, it’s really kind of silly. I mean, we’re not
doing anything technically incestuous or illegal or wrong…we’re both adults, right?
I mean, if they’re really mad, they’re over-reacting, right?”

“I can tell you honestly that with my dad, it’s
going to be about how this will look to everyone else. He’ll be embarrassed and
ashamed.”

“I know. I think the thing I worry about most is
that Mom will defend me at all costs. If she does that, it will put their
marriage in jeopardy. I think she’s really happy on the ranch and I hate the
thought of her losing that because of my choices.”

I wanted to tell her that I loved her and that I
didn’t care what anyone thought, but she was too upset right now. I wasn’t
looking forward to my father’s wrath, but luckily, I was used to it. He just
better keep it in check where Lexi is concerned, though, because as long as
I’ve controlled myself when it came to his verbal abuse of me, I know that I
won’t be able to do the same if he attacks Lexi. I will protect her at all
costs, even at the risk of losing any relationship I have left with my father.
