Wrangling the Cowboy (Circle B Ranch #3) - Kennedy Fox Page 0,62

way he reacted to her. I just saw the two of them together, and that was it. Shaking my head, I roll my eyes. “If he did that…”

“Wait, so is he going to travel with Cooper?” Elle asks. “Did you ask him?”

“I’m pretty sure he is because Uncle Jackson mentioned he was looking for another trainer. Why would they need someone else if Gavin wasn’t planning to leave? I thought about it, and that’s the only solution. It’s not like I can just come out and ask him because we’re not really on speaking terms at the moment,” I explain.

“That does make sense, but it could be coincidental.” Elle places a hand on mine. “I’m sorry. Men are dickheads.”

“Speaking of dickheads, how’s that boss of yours?” Kenzie asks.

“I am not talking about him tonight. This is about Maize, not me,” she announces.

“He’s just so hot. I literally thought about getting an assistant job just so I could stare at his tight ass in those jeans all day long.” Kenzie grins, then shrugs. “It’s not a lie.”

I snort, and I’m so happy to have them as my support system. “Maybe you should apologize,” Rowan suggests. “Tell him how you feel. You won’t know what you’re missing out on if you don’t give him a chance. You have no idea if he’s going to break your heart until he does. Sometimes, finding love is worth the risk. I know you’re asking yourself, what if it doesn’t work out? At least you would’ve had a good time. The flip side of that is, what if it does? What if he’s your match, and you’re so determined to push him away that you lose that opportunity?” Rowan stares at me, waiting for my answer.

I have nothing, though. She’s right.

“When did you become so logical?” I ask.

She gives me a small smile, and I see her glance down at the gigantic diamond on her finger. “Love does that to a person, I guess. If I hadn’t given Diesel a chance or allowed him to explain himself, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. I was convinced marriage wasn’t in my cards too, and the whole time the man of my dreams was right in front of me.”

“I’m so damn happy for you,” Elle exclaims, and Kenzie pipes in too.

“It was the sweetest proposal I’ve ever seen,” Kenzie tells Rowan.

I look at her as she grabs our glasses and the tequila, and that’s when I realize she hasn’t drunk a sip. “Are you gonna have some Patrón, or are you trying to get us all drunk for a reason?”

The alcohol streams through my blood, and my face is starting to feel numb. “Well…” She hesitates.

My eyes go wide, and my mouth falls open. “Are you pregnant?”

A hint of pink meets her cheeks.

“You are!” Elle says, and Kenzie gasps.

Immediately, we stand and move to her, then exchange a group hug.

She places her finger over her lips. “Shhh…I don’t want your parents finding out before mine do.”

“You haven’t told them yet?” Kenzie asks.

“No, and I was hoping I’d get you all trashed before you noticed I wasn’t drinking.”

“This is so amazing!” I admit, really meaning it. “More Bishop babies!”

She places her hand on her belly and laughs. “Told you they’d love you.”

“Diesel knows?” Elle asks.

She nods. “After he proposed, I took him off to the side and told him. He’s ecstatic to give Dawson a little brother or sister and so am I. Diesel’s already an amazing dad, and I’m so happy he’ll get to experience all the nuances of having a pregnant wife. He’s already excited for the doctors appointments and making me tacos whenever I demand them.” She laughs, and I notice how she’s glowing. “You all better keep that secret because if Grandma finds out she didn’t know before you three, she will kick my ass.”

“You’re right.” Elle nods. “She’d lose her shit.”

“But, back to you, Maize. Time to admit you were wrong and give the man a chance. Also, what did he say to you when he pulled you to the side?” Rowan asks.

I roll my eyes again. “He said he tames wild horses, and he’ll tame my attitude too.”

Kenzie slaps her hands together. “That’s fucking hot. If you pass up the opportunity, I might let him tame me.”

I playfully smack her. “You are too much sometimes.”

“You need some grand gesture to show Gavin that you’re sorry for being an asshole,” Elle suggests as we move back to the bed. “You were literally
