Roping His Heart: Claiming my Cowboy Collection Standalone Short Story, #1

By Angela Fattig

Eight years ago, Dean and Katy shared a hot and heavy kiss in the barn.
Katy couldn’t believe her luck when the sexy Dean kissed her. She had dreamt of that day since her father became partners with his family’s ranch.
Although Dean had been in love with her all through his senior year he pulled back claiming she was too young. That she was just a kid.
Running from the barn hurt and in tears, Katy was determined that one day Dean would see her as a beautiful woman. He would finally want her.
Dean had lied. He didn’t see Katy as a child. Who had stood in front of him. Who he had kissed was a very beautiful and sexy woman. He was scared. He was in love with her but was leaving the next day for college. He was old enough to know what he wanted. He wanted her by his side forever as his wife. He needed to make sure she knew what she wanted before he put his heart on the line.
Fate brought them back together. An accident involving both their parents left it to them and their siblings to run both ranches. With both Dean and Katy having business degrees, they would have to work closely together to keep the ranches afloat.
Dean saw the woman he had been waiting for. Katy hid her heart for fear Dean would hurt her again.
Then a tragedy happened that left Dean in the hospital. With his life on the line and her love tested…
Can he convince her to be his? Can Katy rope her cowboy?

Acknowledgement

Claiming my Cowboy Collection will be a collection of short standalone stories. I am optimistic of writing a full-length novel around the first of the year (2015). Up to this point I have only read cowboy romances, now I will try my hand at it.

As I said above, each book will be a standalone and can be read in any order. I will release a new story in between my other books.

Some of the stories will be hot and heavy due to strong language and sexual situations.

I now want to thank my Beta Readers, my Street Team, and Cheryl Keene my editor. If it weren’t for them I would be lost.

Enjoy!

Preface

Seven Years Ago

What in the hell am I doing? I thought. I am eighteen years old of course I know what I want. What I want is her kissing me as if it was what she wanted. She was still a kid, too young. She needed more time to grow up and figure out where she wanted to be. I had to stop this now.

Fuck, I couldn’t. I wanted her too much. The way her sweet arms wound around my neck pulling me closer. The way her fingers pulled my hair. The way her sweet tasting tongue danced with mine. My God! The moan that vibrated in her throat made me shiver. Gripping her hair, I pulled her closer to position her mouth where I wanted it.

I really needed to stop this. I needed to pull away and send her sweet ass home. With all the strength I could muster, I pulled back and leaned my forehead on hers.

Stroking her cheek I whispered, Katy baby, we need to stop.

Why Dean? she asked trying to pull me back to her lips.

Baby, I’m leaving tomorrow, I answered. I need you to grow up before we go any further.

Her body stiffened and I knew I had said the wrong thing. She pulled her body away from me and I fisted my hands at my side fighting
