“You sound like a brochure,” Jackson said.
He probably did. Mostly because Wren had sounded like one and he was basically repeating her. “Well. That’s a good thing,” Creed said. “Since we need some new brochures. And somebody has to write them. It isn’t going to be either of you.”
“True,” Honey said cheerfully.
“You do have to help me barbecue. And you have to help set up this party. I need you two there. If for no other reason than to be witnesses.”
“Witnesses to what?” Jackson asked.
“Just in case Wren decides to murder me.”
“You could take her,” Honey said.
Yeah. He could take her. That was for damn sure. But not in the way his sister meant. “You know I would never hurt a lady.”
“That’s far too gallant if the lady is willing to murder you,” Honey said pragmatically.
“You could try to be less annoying,” Jackson said.
“Look,” Creed said. “She came to me. So, it’s up to her to behave herself. I didn’t go to her, and I wouldn’t have.”
Though, truth be told, he would have to behave himself, too. The prospect of spending extra time with Wren Maxfield was definitely problematic. But he’d spent the last five years not touching her. A few weeks of working in close proximity shouldn’t be an issue.
Hell. They wouldn’t be.
Because when Creed Cooper decided something, he stuck to it. Control was what he was all about. He might be a rich cowboy who could have everything he wanted, but that didn’t mean he did have everything he wanted. Not anymore. Not after he had experienced the disastrous consequences of that kind of behavior.
He had learned his lesson.
And he would never again make the mistakes he’d made as a kid.
That was for damn sure.
