Catching the Cowboy (Circle B Ranch #2) - Kennedy Fox Page 0,15
greedy with him all day, I eventually pass him to Dad. Riley enters, and we’re all beaming. Considering there are so many family members here, I give my brother a congratulatory hug, then tell Zoey and Zach how much I love them before leaving so others can visit. As soon as I make it to the waiting room, Grandma and Grandpa excuse themselves to go in next.
“So?” Kenzie prompts as Maize stands next to her. “How are they doing?”
“They’re great! But I don’t know how my brother made such a cute baby.” I chuckle. “Newborns typically look weird, but not Zach. He’s absolute perfection,” I tell her. “Where’s Elle?” I look around.
“She said she got stuck at work and would be here as soon as she could,” Kenzie explains.
“You got baby fever yet?” Maize pops an eyebrow.
“You kinda need a partner to have baby fever,” I retort.
“That is true,” I hear a husky deep voice say over my shoulder. Turning, I see Diesel’s wide grin. I give him my well-practiced groan and go to hell look.
“Mind your own business,” I mutter and ignore him. Maize tilts her head as Diesel moves closer to us, forcing himself into our conversation. I turn and look at him. “What?” I challenge, needing him to go away.
He shrugs and tilts his cowboy hat toward me. “If you really want a baby…I can help you with that. Big D is at your service.”
I look at him like he’s lost his mind, then roll my eyes. “What’s wrong with you? Do you have brain damage or something? Eat too many paint chips as a kid?”
Kenzie snickers. “It’s all the cow shit he’s sniffed over the years. Affected his critical thinking skills.”
Diesel arches a brow, smirking. “Man, are all the Bishop women this quick on their feet? Hopefully that means the same under the sheets.” His eyes pierce through me, and I’m ready to clock him right in the jaw as a blush hits my cheeks.
Uncle John walks up, and my other uncles Evan and Jackson are behind him with their wives. Usually, when all the Bishop brothers are together, it means trouble or a celebration. Thankfully, this time, it’s the latter. As soon as he sees all of my uncles, I see the fear of God in Diesel’s eyes as he wonders if they overheard him or not. He quickly leaves and sits in a chair against the wall on the other side. It takes everything I have not to laugh at how quickly he cowered. My uncles are mighty intimidating, especially Uncle Evan, but I think it’s because he’s a doctor and has an arrogant air about him.
Kenzie and Maize go with their parents to see the new addition to our family, and I pull out my phone and sit, trying to busy myself while everyone takes their turn visiting. Diesel gets up and moves close to me, taking a seat next to mine. I ignore him the best I can, but it’s nearly impossible when I can smell the fresh scent of his body wash and cologne. I’ve always enjoyed how he smells, even when I was teenager, but I’ll deny it till the day I die. I try my damnedest to breathe in the other direction, but it’s so obvious, he notices.
He clears his throat, trying to get my attention. Some things never change. I scroll through my social media to tune him out, but it’s no use. Diesel’s being so obnoxious as he shakes his leg and taps his foot. I turn my head and glare at him.
“What do you want?” I look into his green eyes.
He pops an eyebrow. His gaze meets mine, then trails down to my lips, my breast, and further before he shrugs.
“You’re an animal.”
When he leans over, his lips are mere inches from my ear, and his warm breath brushes against my skin. “Only in the bedroom. Care to find out for yourself?”
My mouth falls open, but I quickly close it. Swallowing, I try to force the images of him out of my head. Diesel is undeniably attractive and has muscles for days, but I also know his history. He’s known for banging women’s brains out and then not calling them the next day. While there have been times in my life when I may have gone for something like that, I don’t find that appealing anymore.
After my heart was used and abused by a cheating bastard, I need something more than to be dicked down by
