A Cowboy for Christmas: McKenzie Cousins, #8

By Lexi Buchanan

The moment Olivia McKenzie and Geary Tyler met it waslustat first sight—until Olivia returned to Lexington.

Geary's had enough of dreaming about the woman who turned his head and figures its time to do something about it.

Olivia never expected to fall hard and fast for Geary, except she did, and now her days have become lonely while she craves the man she left behind in Montana.

This holiday season is certainly going to be hot and delicious when Geary turns up in Lexington and whisks Olivia away for a romantic few days in Vermont.

OLIVIA

The sight of my office has started to annoy me. In truth nothing has been right since I left my cousin’s home in Montana and came back to Lexington. It’s not Madison that niggles, but more like the deliciously hot cowboy who I gave my heart to. Geary. He’d managed to talk me out of my panties within hours of us meeting, and he had the ability to keep them off of me.

We had agreed from the start that what we shared was temporary, except, I don’t want it to be temporary anymore. As the snow falls outside of the McKenzie building, I wish I was curled up in front of the warm hearth in Geary’s small cabin. The stone cabin was close to Derek and Madison’s home, but felt completely separate. That’s how I feel right now. Completely separate from my own life. I’m going through the motions except nothing feels the same.

I’m lonely.

My brother, Alexander, is happily married and my cousins are all falling in love and starting families of their own. It feels like an epidemic and I’ve never been so out of place before. I know why, I just don’t know what I’m going to do about it. Or even if the man in question wants me to do anything.

Geary had readily agreed to our brief encounter, and he’s had plenty of time to get in touch with me, but he hasn’t. I can’t blame him completely because I haven’t tried to get in touch with him either. I guess it works both ways.

Biting down on the pencil I’ve been twirling around between my fingers, I wince and toss the remains into the trash under my desk. Sighing heavily, I stretch from my chair and moving over to the ceiling to floor window, I rest my forehead against the cool glass.

Olivia? Michael, my cousin says with a frown in his voice. Are you okay?

I don’t know. I sense him moving closer, and add, I think I need a break. As the words leave my mouth I know it’s what I really want. A break from the same schedule I keep on a daily basis. Some time to let my brain relax. The thought of having no responsibility for a short time starts filling me with excitement. I don’t rest. Ever. But this Christmas, I’m going to.

I’m going to take Christmas off and I’ll be back in the office mid-January. I turn and grin at my astonished cousin. "I’ve just finished a project and haven’t picked
