However, the way Ainsley is staring at me with pleading eyes, I know I’ll let it all build up to make her happy.
“You know, I was just thinking that it’s nice outside today and I should take a break,” I say as I get to my feet.
“You were?”
“Let’s go get lunch.”
She grabs the bag. “I have one better for you. Is there a park or somewhere close?”
“No park, but I have a good friend who owes me a favor.”
Her brows lift. “Oh?”
I grab my phone and send a text to the group chat.
Killian, are you cool with me having a meeting at your ranch? I’d like to take the horses out for a ride.
Killian
Meeting with who?
Everett
And since when do you have meetings in barns? That’s usually my gig.
It’s for an interview. I’d like to take Ainsley to see the horses and take her for a trail ride.
Everett:
Now it makes sense.
Miles
He needs a barn to show her the hayloft. You know what they do up there ...
Everett
Nothing says love like hay in the ass.
There’s something wrong with you.
Killian
We knew this. You’re welcome to ride any of the horses. I’m back in Boston for the week, but I’ll have the trainers saddle up two if that works.
Thanks, Killian, that’s perfect. At least someone in this chat is helpful.
Everett
I’m helpful. Listen, once you get her in the “saddle,” you want her to ride the ... horse ... in an up and down motion.
You like to play with the horses a lot, huh?
Miles
Fighting words there. So, you and Ainsley?
We’re doing an interview. That’s it.
