wasn’t confused enough about everything going on.
“We could exchange chores for practice time,” Chase suggested.
“Yeah, who wouldn’t be grateful for some extra hands around the place?” Garret turned to look at Aaron. “And if you keep your eyes and your hands to yourself, we should all be good.”
Aaron scowled. “And if you weren’t married to my sister, you would be looking at Riley too.”
“With Butch around?” Garret rolled his eyes. “No, don’t think so. Unlike you, I’ve got a brain in my head and I’d like to keep it there.”
“All right, boys. No bickering like a couple of little girls. Let’s get back on topic. We’ll have to ask, but if he’s game, who’s in?” Mustang looked around the table.
“I could stand to brush up on my skills, I’m sure.” Garret nodded. “I’m in.”
Slade dipped his head as well. “Hell, I’m in too. I go batty not being able to ride during the time off.”
“Jenna will be okay with you being in Arkansas instead of visiting with her in New York over the break?” Mustang asked his traveling partner.
“She’s flying down to Texas tomorrow. After this visit, I’m hoping there won’t be any more long-distance shit.”
Mustang’s brows rose as he stared at Slade. “Something you need to tell me?”
Slade snorted out a laugh. “Not here and now there isn’t. No.”
Skeeter and the rest of the guys watched the exchange with interest until Chase broke the silence. “So what do you say, Skeets? If we can arrange it, will you do it?”
“If we can find a place willing to let us ride, Butch’s or wherever, then yeah, I’m in.” What did he have to lose?
If it did all work out, Skeeter figured he could learn a lot by hanging around a man with as much experience with bulls as Butch had. It wouldn’t be any hardship to spend some time around Riley either. Sure, Butch would likely flay any guy who touched his daughter, but that didn’t mean they all couldn’t be friends. A girl as nice and cute as she was who also knew as much about bucking bulls as any man in this business—that was a rare find. How could a guy not appreciate all that?
Mustang brushed his hands together. “It’s settled, then. I’ll give Butch a few days to get settled back home and then I’ll give him a call. See where we stand. You guys all go home and enjoy a few days with the families, but be prepared. If he agrees we’re gonna work hard and long.”
“Bull-riding boot camp. I like it.” Chase grinned.
Mustang cocked a brow. “We’ll see how you feel once it starts.”
Chase laughed. “You don’t scare me. My brother wakes me up at five to run with him every morning when I’m home in Oklahoma. Rain, snow, heat. Don’t matter.”
“Good.” Mustang leveled his gaze at Chase. “You’ll be in charge of arranging the physical training schedule then.”
“All right. Done.” Chase grinned. “Be my pleasure.”
Garret groaned. “Great.”
Aaron laughed. “We’ll work hard, but I also expect to play hard when the work is done, so I’ll be in charge of bringing the cooler full of beer.”
Chase shook his head. “Your sorry ass had better be out of bed every morning with the rest of us.”
“It will be. Don’t you worry.” Aaron turned in his seat and craned his neck one more time. “I’m going to find that waitress. She must think we’re just here to hang out and bullshit, but I need to eat.”
Skeeter watched Aaron go in search of food. The rest of the guys kept talking about possible training exercises and other stuff for this boot camp they were planning. All because of him. It was a little overwhelming but nice. He had good friends. Skeeter just hoped he’d get to keep being with them.
He had to get back on this tour.

Riley made good time and pulled into their town before dawn. That could have been because there wasn’t another soul on the road. But more likely it was because once Butch had fallen asleep, she
