Shaking my head, I said, “Damn. He hasn’t dated anyone seriously?”
Tripp nearly lost it laughing. “Cord? Our brother Cord tie himself down to one pussy? Please.”
My eyes widened. “You’re not going to win any election if people hear you talk like that.”
He winked. “Hey, I may enjoy politics and law, but I love women. I’m no different from Cord or Trevor. A nice pussy walks by and I’m going after it.”
I laughed. “There’s the Tripp I remember from high school. Whatever happened to Harley? Didn’t the both of you get caught screwing in the library? By her dad, right?”
Tripp’s beer paused at his lips before he smiled. “I haven’t seen Harley in a few years. And yes, her dad caught us. Nothing like dating the principal’s daughter then getting caught fucking her.”
I slapped the bar. “I just remember you running down the hall, your ass on full display while Mr. Harvey chased you with a baseball bat.”
Tripp laughed again. “That’s right! Bastard would have caught me if Mitchell hadn’t stepped out in front of him and made him trip.”
“That’s right! The future Texas Ranger aiding and abetting.”
Tripp laughed as he tipped his beer back. “Damn, we’ve had some good times.”
A tightness moved into my chest, followed by guilt. “I regret staying away so long.”
He slapped me on the back. “Well, you’re back now and you brought one hell of a good-looking girl home with you.”
Smiling, I took another drink of beer. “Chloe loves being in Texas. The ranch alone had her flying high. Doesn’t help that Dad has her on a damn horse every single second of day. I swear if I let her, she’d sleep in the barn. Plus, he got her a pet goat.”
Tripp chuckled. “That’s good. Get her to fall in love with horses. You remember how much Harley loved horses?”
Harley wasn’t only the principal’s daughter and the girl Tripp screwed in the library, she was also the girl he’d dated all through high school. I was pretty sure she broke his heart when she left him. He hadn’t dated anyone since Harley.
“Yeah, I remember.”
He smiled. “She loved those fucking horses. Loved them more than me. I honestly believed I would have gotten into her pants sooner had she not been so obsessed with them.”
My heart dropped. A swift panic raced over my body. “Fuck. There’s going to be boys trying to get into my daughter’s pants.”
Tripp peered at me with dread in his eyes. “No fucking way. Not with her dad and four uncles looking out for her.”
A sick feeling settled into my stomach. “I’ll kill the little bastard,” I said.
Cord appeared in front of us with a huge grin on his face. “Who will you kill?”
“The little bastard that tries to get into my daughter’s pants.”
Taking a few steps back, Cord appeared to be sick. “What! This early? They’re starting this early?”
“What?” I asked with a confused expression.
“Someone is trying to … with my niece!”
“No, asshole, I’m saying when she gets older.”
Cord leaned against the bar and dragged in a few breaths. “Damn it, Steed. Way to ruin my post sex high.”
My head jerked back as I stared at him. “What? No way.” I turned to see the blonde sitting at the end of the bar giggling with her two friends while putting her hair back up. Swinging my eyes to Cord, I asked, “You fucked her that fast?”
Cord grinned from ear to ear. “Lick her, stick her, make her scream.”
Tripp laughed. “Damn dude, I can’t get a condom on that fast.”
“She wanted fast. I gave her fast,” Cord said as he brushed his knuckles across his shirt.
“Jesus, did you even let the poor girl get off?” I asked.
“Fuck yeah I did. I always take care of them first. I can’t help it if I know how to fuck a girl and make her come fast.”
“Well isn’t this nice. Glad to see the Parker brothers haven’t changed any. Still talking filthy and treating women like sex toys.”
I froze.
Cord’s smile widened, and he clutched his chest. “That wounds me, Paxton. I would never treat a woman that way. If she asks me for sex, who am I to turn her down?”
Paxton stepped between me and Tripp. My dick instantly came to life when I saw her sweet beautiful breasts peeking out from a red dress. Her dark hair was pulled up in a bun on the top of her head. A few loose strands falling out in the back had me itching to push them to the side and kiss her there. My eyes moved down her body to see black heels that made her legs look like they went on forever. I couldn’t help but smile. My sweet Paxton had moved on from cowboy boots to fuck-me heels. I knew by the way she was dressed she was trying to show me what I had missed out on over the last ten years.
