wasn’t sure what was happening with her and Luke but the slightly silver fox sure had caught her eye.
    Until he opened his mouth.
    “Daniels, you turn around and get that exotic Buckle Bunny right back in that truck and out of here. I told you, no girlfriends. I thought I made that abundantly clear after what happened with that Jeffery’s girl last summer. Get her out of here.” Foxy, as she dubbed him in her head, barked at Luke. Such fire, he must be the one in charge.
    He was pissed. But at that moment so was she. Exotic Buckle Bunny? Really?
    “Excuse me…” She tried to interject, her tone giving him a clear understanding of her irritation.
    “Not now, honey. I’m sure you have a great story about why you need to be the exception but…” Oh, he put on a voice like he was the boss, but she couldn’t help it. She let him continue his tirade until he was done.
    Wow he gets more grating by the moment. Still can’t stop staring at his biceps…
    She cleared her throat and interrupted him. “I’m here because I own the place.”
    “You what?” He stopped and squinted at her.
    “Own it. I’m Jayda Rivers.” She stood up straight and looked him right in the eye. “John’s daughter.”
    “I didn’t know…”
    “Surely you knew he had a daughter. I’m guessing you didn’t know she was a sister?” All the snark loaded into one comment, but if he was offended, he didn’t let it show.
    She had to fight the urge to giggle when she saw his face. He knew exactly who she was and what she meant. And he had put his foot in it. To his credit, he recovered quickly. He put a hand out for her to shake.
    “Dustin, Dustin Snow. I’m a friend of your dad’s.” He waited just a tad longer, so she shook his hand. It was strong. Firm. Another set of strong hands she wondered about. She tried to shake the thought but it was too late. Her lips got a bit of color and her face felt hot, she didn’t blush the way a white woman did, but she was light enough that some red flushed her face and her ears.
    Hope no one notices.
    She shot a sideways glance in Luke’s direction.
    Shit.
    He definitely noticed. His jaw was clenched and he was looking at Dustin with the same intensity he had on his face when he was about to jump out of the gate on a bull. With no mercy. The tension emanating from him sent shivers down her spine.
    “I apologize, a woman causes distractions. A man trying to show off. It could cost a life.” He didn’t back down. Dustin was strong, and also a natural leader. She liked that in a man.
    Luke fidgeted next to her but didn’t say anything.
    “Sounds like your men need to control themselves a little better. I’m not in the business of slut-shaming, Mr. Snow.” She set her shoulders and met him toe to toe.
    “I don’t disagree, but that doesn’t make it a reality. I don’t blame the women, I blame the men and their foolishness. Business is business, Ms. Rivers. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to sign that insurance report.”
    “You have me there. We can discuss gender politics another time. I just want to see my operation.” She smiled at him, turning off her calculated businesswoman approach and moving into a more relaxed gear.
    “That’s fine, let’s just get you into the office so that we can get you into something a little safer, if you are going to be around the bulls.” He kept his jaw hard but there was a twinkle in his eye as he walked towards the office.
    Just as she started to follow Luke grabbed her arm.
    “Give us a minute, will ya, Dustin?” Luke asked, pulling her aside.
    She humored him, trying to keep calm while his hand was on her. Being directed and controlled, it wasn’t something that would win Luke points. At least, not in this way.
    “What the hell do you think you are doing?” Luke growled as he jerked her towards him and then let her go.
    “What do you mean?” She feigned innocence as she looked until into his eyes.
    “Can’t you see that I am standing
