Christ!I hated myself for noticing how attractive she was when she laughed.
Okay, the woman was attractive regardless of her facial expression, but when she laughed, she was even prettier.
She looked beautiful in the colorful dress she was wearing and with her hair falling around her shoulders.
I was used to seeing her hair pulled back in a ponytail when she was working.
“She’s a good woman, Asher. A woman worth talking to,” Cole said in a low voice right before the women got to our table.
I shot him an annoyed glance, but he simply sent me a shit-eating grin.
Hell, there was probably nothing that was going to piss my little brother off on his wedding day.
And nothingshouldget him down today.
My increasing curiosity about Sierra wasmyproblem, and it was something I was determined to forget about.
She’d been my housekeeper for months now, and we’d gotten along just fine without getting personal in any way.
Why would I need to know about her family and if she was from Montana or Texas?
Why would I need to knowanythingabout her personal life?
And I sure as hell didnotneed to know if there was a man who was waiting at home for her.
However, if there was a man in her life, he needed to take better care of his woman.
She obviously wasn’t eating enough.
Fuck!
Questions about my housekeeper had been crossing my mind more often lately, and that needed to stop.
It shouldn’t matter to me what Sierra did once her workday was over and she drove back to Billings.
Hell, maybe I should have done an extensive interview with her when she’d first shown up at the ranch, but I hadn’t expected her to stay.
It had never crossed my mind that she’d report to work every day before nine and take every bit of crap I tossed at her with a sunny smile.
I watched as Cole rose from his chair and held out another seat at the table for his wife before returning to his own chair.
My brother reached for his bride’s hand, and the two of them became immediately absorbed in each other, like no one else existed.
Sierra smiled at me as she took the only available seat next to me. “Everything okay?” she asked.
“Fine,” I said tersely, irritated as the light, floral scent that was uniquely Sierra made my cock instantly hard.
Yeah, that was another thing…
Lately, I hadn’t been able to control my body’s instinctive reaction whenever Sierra was around.
Shit!To be honest, I’d been attracted to her since the very first day she’d walked through my door.
Okay, it had been a while—a long while—since I’d gotten laid, but I thought I’d gotten used to not being with a woman a long time ago.
I couldn’t even remember the last time I’d felt sexual attraction.
Sex wasn’t even possible for me anymore since I hated getting too physically close to anyone.
