  Ever.

  “One for each of us,” Marshall said.

  Christian snorted. “Find your own. Those two are mine.”

  “You’re a braver man than I if you want to take two women into your bed.”

  “What’s the matter, Marshall? Worried you couldn’t please both of them?” Christian asked as he turned his head back to the sheriff.

  That’s when his gaze was snagged on a vision with pale brown curls that fell past her shoulders. She was wearing a white shirt that showed off her bronze skin, dipping low enough in the front to get a glimpse of cleavage.

  Christian leaned to the side to see her faded jeans and cowboy boots. She waved at someone. Christian quickly followed her line of sight and saw one of the bartenders, the female, return the wave.

  Curls smiled, her face lighting up as she walked to a barstool and sat at the corner, giving Christian a perfect view of her.

  His body responded instantly, causing his balls to tighten in need. Christian brought his beer to his lips and drank deeply as he took in her oval face and large eyes. The dim lighting of the bar prevented him from seeing the exact shade of her eyes however.

  With her full lips, delicate jaw, stubborn chin, and slender neck, Curls wasn’t just pretty – she was intriguing.

  “Ah, I see someone has caught your eye,” Marshall said.

  Christian pulled his gaze away from the woman. “Just checking things out.”

  “Right. Adding another to your stable?”

  Curls was the kind of woman he would want all to himself. No sharing there. “Yep.”

  Marshall snorted. “Want to play a game of pool?”

  “Sure.” Christian took another drink of beer and spun around on the stool to follow Marshall.

  Marshall raked the balls while Christian set aside his beer and grabbed a cue stick. It was fate that brought Marshall into their lives, but Christian was glad they had someone they could trust in a seat of power.

  Few people of the parish actually knew what the Chiassons did, but there were some that joined in a hunt when needed. Though the majority didn’t have a clue that his family had saved their hides on multiple occasions, they seemed to realize the Chiassons were dangerous.

  Dangerous didn’t even begin to cover what they were. What kind of man brought a woman into such a family and the constant threat of death? His brothers might be willing to do it, but not him.

  He remembered all too well his mother’s murder and his father’s death that night all those years ago. It was enough to ensure that Christian remained alone. There was little time to protect everyone. Why would he add a wife and children into the mix?

  Only an idiot would do that.

  His brothers, obviously, were idiots.
