Clint: A Hidden Lane Ranch Cowboy Novel

by Sammi Starlight

  I kept my eye on Alexis the rest of the night, always knowing where she was. She caught me looking at her a few times but instead of glaring at me or looking away quickly, she would smile or wink. This girl had spunk and I liked that. I had a feeling she wouldn’t put up with my shit and could quite possibly be a challenge. Maybe that was just what I needed to get out of my funk with the ladies.

  The party finally started clearing out and I noticed Alexis walking towards where all the cars were parked. Her bitch cousin wasn’t with her, so I decided I was going to make an attempt to talk to her while I had a chance. I jogged after her, slowing down the closer I got; I couldn’t have her thinking I was chasing her.

  “Hey, did you have a good time tonight” I asked when I finally got next to her.

  She looked over at me and smiled, brushing her hair from her face. “I did. Everyone’s so nice. Big difference from back home.”

  “Oh really, where’s ‘home’?” I asked, hoping I wasn’t being too forward. Wait. Since when did I care about offending a girl?

  She shrugged. “California.”

  She didn’t say much more and I wasn’t going to ask. “How long are you in town for?”

  “Not sure. Awhile.” She looked around; she must have been looking for her cousin.

  I gave her my panty-dropping smile. “Well how about we go out sometime?”

  She laughed and my face got warm. I didn’t get laughed at by women. Ever.

  “I don’t think so. My cousin warned me about you. Many times.” She crossed her arms across her chest and tilted her head, studying me. “Although you might be fun. Hmmm.” She shrugged. “Maybe. I’m sure I’ll see you around this small town.” She turned and walked away from me. “Have a good night!”

  I stood there speechless. What the fuck just happened? Women didn’t turn me down and they certainly didn’t leave me speechless. Maybe she’d go out with me? I shook my head and turned back toward the house.

  This girl intrigued me. She was fucking hot as hell, but she also was interesting, unlike the rest of the women around here. I was looking forward to getting to know Alexis from California. That much was certain.
