He chuckles, unfazed by her antics. “I’ve tamed wild horses, Maize Bishop, and I’ll tame your attitude too. I like a good challenge.”
She scoffs. “Is that a threat or somethin’?” Maybe she doesn’t notice, but I can hear the shakiness in her voice as I pour my punch.
“Not a threat, sweetheart. That’s a damn promise,” Gavin keeps his voice low, but the confidence oozes off his words before he walks away. Maize comes up to me completely infuriated.
My eyes are as wide as saucers as I glance at her, and she groans before pulling a flask from her back pocket and taking a long swig. “I hate him. I hate him so much! Egotistical, bigheaded, tight blue jean wearing bastard!”
“You forgot to say brooding and sexy as sin in there somewhere,” I say, snorting at how annoyed she is.
“He just needs to go away. I don’t shit where I eat for a damn reason, yet here I am,” she says as Gavin walks back to Sarah with a cocky grin. Maize watches them for a minute, and I swear laser beams are going to shoot from her eyes at any moment. It has me holding back laughter.
“Come on, ignore them,” I say and grab our drinks and meet Diesel back on the blanket. Maize follows me, bitching under her breath as she plops down next to Kenzie with her arms crossed.
“I thought you got lost or something. What took so long?” he asks, kissing me right behind the ear, causing me to squirm.
I giggle and turn toward him, whispering. “Oh nothing other than Maize and Gavin exchanging words. He totally confronted her.”
His stares at me, and his mouth falls open. “No way.”
“Yep, and she’s ready to murder him and his date,” I explain.
He laughs. “Welp, my money’s on her. She’s scary as hell.”
“I guess we’ll see,” I say, chuckling, then lean over and plant kisses on his mouth. “That was us at one point.”
Diesel grins. “It was, and now look whatcha’ve gone and done.”
“What’s that?” I ask.
“You roped Big D,” he gloats. “You actually caught the uncatchable cowboy.”
I shake my head and slide my lips across his as our kiss deepens. “No, Cowboy, you’re wrong. You caught me.”
