Holiday Rider

Wyatt Houston broke me with his cowboy grit and filthy promises. Now I'm supposed to save his career.

It'll be a cold day in Hell.

He's the only man to ruin me so thoroughly I still taste the ash.

But my family? They're relentless.

They ask why I won't help, but I can't exactly confess how my brother's best friend was my first everything.

Or all the nights I snuck into his bed.

Or how he used my heart like a stepping stone to fame.

I swore I'd never again crave the way his voice drops when he's angry.

I'd forget the hands that once worshipped me like a sin.

So I'll just stay professional.

Yet when he looks at me like I'm the only thing he's ever wanted to ride hard and claim twice, I remember exactly how I broke.

God help me. I might cave and let him do it again.
