handsome bunch.
Lauren waved the apple under Thunder’s nose. “Would you like a bite?”
Thunder nodded, opened his mouth and took the apple from her.
“Okay, you’ve paid the price of entry and made a friend. Ready to ride?”
“Sure, why not? I am in the Wild West, after all.”
“Here, take my hand.”
Lauren mounted the horse in one smooth motion and settled in behind Adam. As he steered the horse toward the guesthouse where she could change clothes, his phone rang.
“Chris!”
A familiar voice came through Adam’s cell phone speakers. “What’s up, bro?”
He guided Thunder into a soft trot. “Out riding, like I do most mornings. What are you doing?”
Lauren held on to Adam’s shoulders. Hearing Christian’s voice increased her heartbeat. If she was unable to quell these physical reactions at the mere sound of his voice, she decided, then working for Victoria was going to be challenge.
“Golf? Right now? Sounds boring, buddy. I’m heading to the mountains, going to show Lauren the view from Breedlove Peak. Yeah, she’s with me now.” He paused for a moment. “She was out running so I invited her for a ride. Listen, let me holler at you later. We’re headed to Lauren’s house so she can change clothes and then to the stables to get her saddled up. Thunder is getting restless and wants to run. All right, cool. Talk to you later.”
“That was Chris,” Adam said as Thunder ate up the distance with his smooth, increased gait. “He said to tell you hello.”
“I couldn’t help overhearing that it was him on the phone,” she replied, raising her voice to be heard above the horse’s clomping and the wind. “I heard his voice but not the entire conversation. He’s on his way to play golf?”
“No, he’s headed to my house.”
“How do you figure? I heard what he said.”
“Because I told him you were with me. So, trust me, he’s on his way.”
