People were still coh the doors, while the band who also worked at Kinky Spurs, the best watering hole in town, played the fourth song of the night Soon the party would be happening, and once Darryl got his Santa work coht with the only woman on his mind

Darryl reached for the bag of gifts again,

when a softer, sexier voice said behind him, “Hi, Santa Am I on the nice list this year?”

He turned and immediately reached for Penelope’s hand Dainning to think it would serve hty list” He pulled her in close and kissed her, not caring who saw hi that his lips met hers “My My,” he said when he backed away He held her hand and twirled his finger, and she obliged, giving his with a little green dress, and sleek, sexy black heels that did incredible things for her legs Her hair was in big curls and her ht ether

The song shifted to a slow song “Co her onto the dance floor “We’ve got work, but first, let’s dance” He pulled her in close, loving how she smiled sweetly at him

A dozen or more people danced around them, but he was focused on her On the way she stared into his eyes and felt all soft against him He didn’t want her to leave And he hoped she realized she didn’t want to either

Darryl snorted, recognizing the voice He turned to Nash Blackshaho danced with his wife, Megan, in his arms “Aren’t you the one who usually takes up most the room, Blackshaw?”

Nash barked a loud laugh

Darryl glanced at Megan “Thank you for providing the band again”

“Thank the band” Megan sht tonight “They’re doing all the work Since we’re kidless tonight, I’hed as Nash twirled her away

In their place, Darryl noticed the other two Blackshaw brothers, Shep and Chase, along with their wives, E their father, then some financial and personal trouble cauest ranch, but anytime Darryl saw them now, they all seemed happy and busy with their kids

“They’re all brothers, aren’t they?”
