Top 5 Reasons We
All Fall for Cowboys
#5 All that sexy
hotness packed into a tight pair of jeans. Need I say more? Okay, we could talk
about their sculpted muscles beneath sun-kissed skin from all that hard work.
*Fans face.*
#4 Cowboy kindness.
It’s the manners that get me. All that, “Yes, ma’am,” and opening doors for
their ladies. They tip their hats and smile so nice, all with a gleam in their
squinted eyes.
#3 They’re animal
lovers. Whether it’s a barn cat or their favorite horse, Cowboys care for the
animals they tend. It’s in their nurturing spirit. Don’t we all just drool when
we see a hot cowboy in the cab of his truck with his trusty dog right beside
him?
#2 They’ve got a
wild side. How else can you explain their crazy need to get on a bucking bull?
Or ride like the wind on the back of a horse? It’s that fun-loving side that’s
got them dancing in the local saloon and chasing their favorite cowgirl and
stealing a kiss.
#1 Strength. Yes
please, I do need you to pluck me off my horse with your strong grip at my
hips. Lift a heavy bale of hay, or a sack of feed, no problem for our tough
guys. But that strength goes deeper than their tight muscles. It’s in their
determination to get the job done and go after what they want, to hold onto
tradition and a way of life that’s rooted in the land and providing for others.
It’s in their dedication to family and home and the woman they love.
Your
order might be different. I can only say that for me after you get past the hot
guy in a tight pair of jeans with a really fine ass, cowboys have a hell of a
lot more going on to temp any cowgirl into falling head over heels for them.
Excerpt
A
hand settled on his shoulder and shook him. He groggily moaned and tried to
open his eyes. The bright sun blinded him until his father leaned over and
blocked the light as he stared down at Dane.
“Dad?”
“Are
you okay, son? Is anything broken?”
“My
head hurts. Ankle, too, but nothing is broken but my pride. I fell off my damn
horse.”
“Okay,
now. I’ll get you home. Can you get up?”
“I
think so.” Dane pressed his hands down at his sides and rose to sitting. The
wet piece of fabric fell from his head and landed on his bare belly, along with
the blue feather that fluttered into his lap. “Where is she?”
“Who?”
“The
girl.”
“Dane,
no one is here.”
“She
helped me. She’s got to be around here somewhere.”
“There’s
no one for miles.”
“How
did you find me?”
“Your
horse came home without you. I know you like to ride along the river, so I
followed your trail.” His dad cocked his head, his eyes taking on a thoughtful
gleam. “I did think I heard you whistle for me.”
“I
passed out.”
“Must
have been the wind in the trees.”
Dane
didn’t think so. He pinched the end of the feather between his thumb and index
finger and stared at it. He scanned the riverbank and out toward the hills. He
didn’t see her anywhere. He didn’t understand the way his chest went tight and
the sadness that overtook him. Nothing but his regret that he didn’t get to
thank her or say goodbye. He never got her name.
His
dad held out his hand. Dane took it. His father pulled him up, and Dane stood
on his good leg. He tested out his twisted ankle. The slight pressure sent a
bolt of pain up his leg.
“How’s
your vision?”
“Better.”
“You
did a good job using your shirt to bind that ankle and staunch the bleeding on
your head.”
“I
didn’t. She did.”
His
father eyed him, shaking his head side to side. “Dane—”
“I’m
telling you, Dad, there was a girl. She helped me.”
“Okay,
son. I believe you, but I didn’t see anyone out here with you. I don’t know
where she could have gone. We’re in the middle of nowhere.”
Which
was the reason Dane liked it out here so much. Still, how did she get out here,
and where did she go?
He
lifted himself up into the saddle and grabbed the reins on the horse his father
brought back for him to ride. He kept his eyes trained, searching the entire
area the whole way back home, but he saw nothing, no one.
Dane
went back to the spot beside the river more than a dozen times, looking for his
dark-haired, blue-eyed angel. He never found her, but he’d never forget her
either.
