Payton and Ember have settled into a nice little life. With their oldest boy Dalton following into Payton's footsteps breaking horses, the legacy continues on.
But breaking horses can be extremely dangerous if not done correctly as Payton and Ember...
Pa asked if I would retrieve a filly from the Murphy's. The stable was pretty much finished. He wanted to start gathering them up as quickly as possible. I took Harper with me. I figure a road trip would give her a break.
We drove along the interstate before stopping at the cabin for the night. I needed a break from the road and just wanted to unwind. It reminded too much when I was on the circuit.
God I really hope they can squash that deal. I didn't want to ride for James or anyone anymore. I just wanted to ride for myself. The rodeo was nothing like I thought it was.
"Dalton?"
Harper's voice snapped me from thoughts.
"Sorry Darlin. I was just thinking about this deal," I sighed, rubbing my forehead in frustration.
"I'm sure your dad and Larry Fisher will figure out a way to get you out of it."
"I hope so because knowing James he will make sure I get the short end of the stick," I sighed.
She walked over and wrapped her arms around which I sorely needed. Having Harper close to me calmed me in a way no other could.
We went into the cabin and I flicked on the lights. I checked the fridge and besides a box of baking soda, there wasn't anything else here. Good thing I brought food.
We went back outside and grabbed the bags from the car. I knew we both had to be hungry. Once inside I set the bags on the counter and got to work. Harper joined me as we both cooked together.

I had to admit it was nice spending time with her like this. Christy would have scoffed at the notion but Harper dug in and went to work.
After dinner was done. We sat down and ate. This meal was amazing. The best part is we worked together. As I ate, I looked at Harper. She did this little movement in her chair and nod with her head while she ate. It was like she got pure enjoyment from food.
This was refreshing considering most girls are trying to watch their girlish figure with salads and whatnot. I love a girl that can chow down. To me nothing was sexier than someone that enjoyed a good meal.
After we ate we figured out our sleeping arrangements. I took one room and she took another. I got her settled in before heading to turn in for the night.
"Got everything?"
"I think so," she said looking around.
"Well good night," I said as I leaned over and gave her a kiss. I pulled back and looked at her.
********* Harper's POV
Dalton looked at me after our kiss and he had a desire that burned in them. Before I knew it, he kissed me again but this time with more passion. We quickly made work of our clothes as he picked my up, with me wrapping my legs around his waist. And laid me on the bed.
