CHAPTER ONE
I gathered the reins on Grifter, my majestic black gelding and
scanned the horizon one last time before turning toward home. I hoped I'd done
enough to prevent the feral cats and foxes from taking down any more of the
cattle. Electrifying the boundary fence had been costly and time consuming but,
I couldn't keep Dufus in the barn for the rest of his days and couldn't risk
losing my prized bull. The randy bull produced high quality calves which sold
for a small fortune and it was what kept us making good money rather than just
scraping by.
I galloped my mount across the open paddocks and felt the
strength between my thighs as his muscles rippled and flexed. The horse's
strides were lengthy, he loved to gallop flat out and he ate up the ground in
no time. When I slowed to approach the barn, I noticed my foreman, Wendy,
talking with someone. Someone who caused my groin to tighten and heart to beat
faster. Even with his back to me, I knew who the curly blonde locks belonged
to.
His shoulders were much broader than the last time I'd seen
him, his hair longer and it lifted in the slight breeze. The jeans he wore were
molded over one helluva sexy ass.
Wendy waved when she saw me approach and the man spun around
to face me. My heart missed a few beats when he smiled, pressure mounted behind
the zipper of the jeans as my cock thickened with interest.
"Luke Kelly." I barely whispered the words. It had
been fifteen years since I'd last seen the man who'd haunted my dreams for more
than half of my life. He'd gone off to university in the big smoke to study law
and his family had moved away shortly after. I'd assumed Luke would be working
in his father's legal practice in Brisbane. So, what was he doing here? It
wasn't as if we'd ever been friends.
Wendy took the reins I held out and I dismounted. Luke took
two long strides toward me, his hand outstretched. I knew it was a mistake the
moment our fingers touched. A shudder cannoned through me and I fought to keep
my composure as we shook.
"Kyle Walker, been a long time."
"Luke Kelly. It has been a long time. I guess you're
working with your father, how's the legal business going? What brings you back
here to Clearlea?" More
specifically, my ranch.
"Didn't much like the
business of being a lawyer so I joined the police force, worked out of the Gold
Coast. I tired of being in the city though, missed being here in the country. I
got a promotion to Detective Senior Sargent and requested a transfer here to
take charge of your town."
"Congratulations, but
why my place?"
"I heard your dad
left the property to you and wanted to come by and say hi. I know we weren't
friends or anything in school but, I always admired your ability to ignore
those around you and get on with what you wanted to do."
"It wasn't hard to
melt into the background when you're a country geek surrounded by football
studs and cheerleaders."
"We never purposely
ignored you, we…."
I waved my hand in the
air. "Long time ago, Luke, water under the bridge. You still haven't
answered me though, I find it hard to believe you only came out here to say
hello. Was there something you needed?" Me? Please say me. Get your fucking head on the right way, Walker.
Football Player. Cop. Straight!
I caught the glance he
shot in Wendy's direction and it hit me. Straight guy remember and Wendy is one
gorgeous woman. One very single, straight, gorgeous woman.
"Oh, sorry, you're
here to see Wendy, I'll leave you to it."
I stepped away but was
stopped in my tracks when Luke's large hand gripped the top of my arm.
"No, it's you I need
to speak with. I kind of need a favor."
I write a variety of stories including Male/Male, Menage and Shapeshifter.
Each book has a strong focus on story line with romantic interest building throughout.
I explore real life issues from kids on the streets to motorcyle war
and put my own twist on each one.
