don’t want to be here, and for some unknown reason you don’t like me, so let me put you out of your misery. Thank you for the room, I can help myself from here. You can go now, Mr. Cooper” she said giving a quick nod towards the door and turned away from him, pretending to study her surroundings; but not before he glimpsed a flash of hurt in her dark, expressive eyes.
Devin stepped outside feeling like a world class jerk. He hadn’t meant to hurt Mary Lou’s feelings. He was just royally pissed at Abe and everyone else for not being here to do their jobs. First of all, this was all Abe’s idea and he should have been here to sort everything out. When he had called the old man to ask him why there was no one here to welcome their one and only guest, Abe had said, “Well, I thought you had taken care of that boy. When I told you my plan, I assumed you called a few staff members and told them to come out a few days earlier than scheduled.” He wanted to strangle the old man right now.
What the hell was he going to do? No one was close enough, or had even planned to make the drive out here by this evening. Now he was stuck with the responsibility for the guest. He sure as hell couldn’t leave the girl out here by herself. Maybe he could take her back to his home in Paul’s Valley for the night; it was only another thirty minute drive. No, he highly doubted she would agree to that, she hated his guts right now. Aw hell, he groaned inwardly. Guess he was staying at the ranch until tomorrow. He would have to make a few calls and cancel a few meetings. He set off back to the main cabin to accomplish the task.
Half an hour later Devin was finally able to put his phone down. He sat back in his chair at the check in desk and closed his eyes for a few minutes. Resting his head against the back of the chair, his thoughts wondered to the woman in the cabin a few feet away. He remembered the way her full lips had formed in a cute little pout, when she politely kicked him out of the cabin. He found that he wanted to taste those lips while red and run his hands up her smooth thighs, and under her sexy short dress to grab that rounded, ass of hers. Not to mention her breasts which he gauged were little more than hands full. He pictured himself taking one of her breast into his mouth and sucking, until she moaned with pleasure - whoa there cowboy.
He snapped back to reality, he was making himself hard with thoughts of Mary Lou Carpenter; he shifted to ease the uncomfortable tightness in his jeans. What was the matter with him? She wasn’t even his type. The leggy blond that he woke up to this morning was more his type, but he found that he was incredibly attracted to Miss Carpenter. He wondered what she was doing at the moment. He hoped she wasn’t still sulking over his utter rudeness to her, from the moment they had met. Guilt pricked his conscience, he need to make it up to her.
An idea popped into his head, instead of leaving her to her own devices for the rest of the evening, he was going to take her on a little nature ride, they could take a couple of the horse form the stable around back. It was a while since he had done anything like that of the sort, the day he had taken over the family business was the day he had to forget about horseback, riding, hunting and all things fun. As a younger man, when his father was still alive, Devin had had the time to interact with the guests and even participated in the nature hikes. He smiled at the memory of taking part in the day to day running of a few of the ranches.
Taking over the behind the scenes, business aspect of running Cooper’s Ranch and Tours, he had said goodbye to everything he enjoyed. A sad smile formed on his lips; well somebody has to do it. He would use today as an opportunity to get back in touch with nature, with Miss Carpenter at his side.
