#TantalizingTuesday: The Cowboy's Girl Part 2
Megan saw Camden standing at the fence as soon as she pulled her beat up Ford onto his family ranch. Good God, that man was built fine. With his shirt open, Megan saw his muscular chest and ripped stomach. She remembered a time when she could run her fingers down his exposed flesh. Now she’d lost that right.
Megan drove out every day since he’d returned last week so Camden could see Isabella. He wouldn’t give Megan a second glance but he was all eyes for their little girl.
“Megan, won’t you come in today?” his mother asked, her eyes tender. It was too much for Megan.
She averted her gaze and hid her sadness behind a fake smile, “No, thank you. I was thinking about taking Dusty for a ride.”
Megan saw Camden saunter over to where she stood with Isabella in her arms. She held her breath. He’d never come over to her; usually his mother took Isabella from her. Maybe he was ready to talk. Did she dare hope?
Camden stood not more than a foot from her. He tipped his hat back, nodded at her, scooped Isabella up and walked back towards the porch. Without a word.

Oooooh! So the ice seems to be thawing just a little bit! Love this one, Paloma. I may have to throw a gigantic tantrum if you go with another story line next time instead of continuing with Camden.
ReplyDeleteI plan to see the story through. It seems so much less stressful to only have to give them 200 words each week.
DeleteI wonder how long Megan can hold out. At least this time he tipped his hat and took their baby, no less than a foot away from her.
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving this story line. Great TTT!
ReplyDeleteTY, Bonnie.
DeleteGreat teaser. Is Camden coming round a bit? There has to be some glimmer of hope for Megan and him
ReplyDeleteSlow but sure... what's the fun in it if they don't have to work for it??
DeleteYou are breaking my heart...don't stop!!! I need to see what happens next...please tell me you are continuing this...*sits and waits*
ReplyDeleteDefinitely continuing. I'm falling for these characters.
DeleteGreat story. Keep reminding new people to go back and start at the beginning!
ReplyDeleteYes. I will be sure to keep the links back to the weeks before. :)
DeleteOh my, what did Megan do that he won't forgive her for? She clearly loves him. I hope they can work it out. Great storyline here!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... the ice begins to thaw... but can Megan hold out long enough for it to break? I do hope we'll get to find out somehow.
ReplyDeleteAwesome teaser Paloma.
Thanks, Don. Next week's installment is written and waiting. Hoping Megan's plan work...
DeleteYou and your cowboys, Paloma. You write them so well. Strong, silent and brooding, yet with that tender side. You must be delighted that Dallas is back!
