Rafe didn’t offer to leave but stood there, looking bored and impatient, which really annoyed her. In fact, both men annoyed her.
“Fine, then if you’ll both get out of my hair, I can finish this inventory.”
Rafe frowned, his displeasure clear. “I thought we had a date.”
Her gaze immediately went to Chuck, whose eyes had narrowed in contempt. “To watch Mac train over at the Desert Rose? I’d hardly call that a date.”
“Afterward, I will take you to lunch,” he said as if the matter was settled, and then reached for her hand again.
She had just enough wits about her to jerk away, but words failed her. What the heck was he doing? The whole bunkhouse would be gossiping about them by dinnertime. She couldn’t bear the thought. Enough of her life had been hurt by rumors and whispers. All that talk about how she was unwanted, a bastard child…
“Okay, I get the picture.” Chuck took a step back, his expression far from understanding. “But you could’ve told me, Bri, and not waste my time.”
She threw up her hands. “Told you what?”
“That you two were already playing footsies under the table.” Lifting his chin in a cocky manner, he adjusted his Stetson.
“We are not.” She looked to Rafe for help. Maybe he didn’t understand what Chuck was getting at, because he just stood there watching with lazy interest.
“Yeah, well, that’s sure what it seemed like.” Chuck slid Rafe an accusing look, which was received with a stifled yawn.
“Well, I’m telling you how it is.” Bri put her hands on her hips. “Not that I owe you an explanation.”
“Sure enough, darlin’,” Chuck shrugged and took a step back. “Just wish you hadn’t led me on about the dance.”
“I never—” She could end the talk before it started. “Who said I led you on? Of course I’ll go to the dance with you.”
