Rodeo Daddy: Book 3 in the Stubborn Texas Siblings Trilogy (10 page)

A year later, Jeff was sitting in the stands watching the
rodeo with Dana sitting at his side. On his other side,
Alexis was bouncing excitedly up and down, yelling and
screaming for the man trying to ride out his eight seconds
on one of Jeff’s bulls. In his arms, he held his tiny son; only
three months old. He was sleeping through the whole thing,
missing out on his first rodeo event.

Dana nudged him, sipping her soda. “You’re so busy
looking at the baby, you’re missing the show. I thought you
wanted to see how Slayer did in his first competition.
You’ve spent so many hours training that angry beast to
buck anything that tries to climb onto his back; one would
think you’d want to see how he did in the arena.”

Jeff grinned crookedly at her, loving her even more than he
had before. “I can’t help it… I’m so damn crazy about the
little guy; I can’t take my eyes off him unless I’m looking
at his even lovelier big sister or stunningly gorgeous
mother.”

“I try,’ he said, teasing right back. “What do you say, Mrs.
Schmidt? Shall we see if Eric and his clan want to take our
little ones for a few hours and see if there’s an available
trailer we can slip into for old time sake? Your husband is
feeling a bit randy, hanging out with you out here on the
rodeo sidelines.”

“I don’t know,” she said playfully, knowing that she would
never be able to say no to her husband anymore now than
she had that first day she’d seen him entering the arena.
“Let’s see how that beast you’ve been training does first. If
he bucks his ride off before the bell rings, you’ve got
yourself a deal. If not, we wait to see how Killer does when
it’s his turn. With a little luck, one of your priceless bulls
will take a rider down before his eight seconds are up.”

“Then I guess we’ll just have to do it twice,” Dana
answered laughing. “You know me… when it comes to my
sexy rodeo cowboy, I can never seem to be able to get
enough. I’m always up for a rousing round of lovemaking.
If it’s fresh off a win on your part, my panties seem to fall
off that much faster. Your bull’s win is no different than
your win in my book.

T
he look on Jeff’s face was priceless. His eyes heated with
desire and he was already looking through the crowd for his
brother. He had worked hard with both of those bulls and
he had no doubt that neither one of them were going to be
successfully ridden for more than three or four seconds
tops. He was going to get to make love to his heart’s truest
desire… the most beautiful woman he’d ever known. His
wife and mother of his children. The only thing his poor
lust addled brain could think when he spotted Eric and his
family was ‘
Hot damn… this cowboy’s about to get lucky.
With a little of God’s grace on my side, in nine months time
I’ll be a rodeo daddy once agai
n!’
