Over the ridge, Harland and the cowboys were waiting. Judd stopped.
“Get supplies and fix that fence today,” he said to the foreman. “I don’t want that bull back in my herd.”
“You want us to fix the fence?” Harland asked, a touch of sarcasm in his voice.
Being second-guessed rubbed Judd the wrong way. Harland questioned too many of his orders, and he wanted it stopped.
“Do you have a problem with that?” he asked, his eyes locking with the other man’s.
“No, sir, but—”
“On the Southern Cross, I’m the boss and what I say goes. If that doesn’t suit you, you’re welcome to leave. Now.”
“C’mon, Judd, I’ve worked here a long time. I just thought Miss Belle should be the one to fix the fence. Her bull broke it.”
“Miss Belle would only patch it. I want it fixed right. In a few months her place will become a part of Southern Cross and I don’t want to have to redo it.”
Harland grinned. “I knew you had a damn good reason. I’ll get the boys right on it.”
“Another thing, and I hope I’m clear about this—do not shoot that bull or any neighbor’s animal that strays onto our property. I don’t do business that way. Am I clear?”
“Yes, sir. I was only trying to scare her.”
“Miss Belle doesn’t scare that easily.”
Judd kneed Baron and rode on toward the barn. Nothing scared Caitlyn, except losing High Five. That was her deepest fear and he knew it. Knowing your enemy’s weakness was half the battle. Victory was just a matter of time.
It was his goal, what he’d dreamed about for fourteen years. But as he dismounted, all he could see and think about was her open blouse and the curve of her breast.
