He was ready for a hot shower, soft bed, and more of the delicious food he had just eaten. Hell, he might even kiss the new housekeeper if her pies were as good as the brownies. He didn’t give a damn what she looked like.
Ed just nodded before heading out to the truck. Caleb didn’t see the grin spread across the old man’s face.
Caleb shut the door of the shack and looked around the small dingy interior. Yeah, he was ready for his own bed. Pulling out his duffle bag, he stuffed the few clothes he had brought with him into it. He put the can goods in the cabinets and put out the fire in the old wood stove. He made sure everything was secure and neat before he walked out to the pickup truck. He threw his few belongs in the front seat and started the engine to warm it up. Backing up the truck to the horse trailer, he hitched it then went into the small lean-to containing two stalls.
Opening it, he pulled his horse, Buck, out, “Let’s go home, boy. You can sleep in a nice warm barn tonight.” The gelding flicked his tail back and forth and nodded his head up and down like he was agreeing with the idea.
Caleb munched on brownies on the drive home. He was worried about how Allen was doing. From what he could gather from Ed, Allen was actually out of his room and moving around. How the new housekeeper had accomplished such a miracle in less than a week when he, Ethan and Maggie had been trying for six months was beyond him. He wiped a few crumbs from the beard on his face. Grimacing, he couldn’t wait to get a hot shower and a shave. He had never liked having hair on his face. He grinned when he thought about Allen. Hell, he looked like Grizzly Adams. The stuff made him itch personally. He wondered if Allen had shaved yet and gotten a haircut. He was beginning to look like a damn castaway.
He pulled in front of the barn two hours later. He had to go slow pulling the trailer and even then it had been hazardous. He slid out of the truck and walked around the back to unload Buck at the same time Brad came out of the barn.
“ Hey, boss man. Welcome back. I’ll take care of Buck and the truck and trailer for you if you want.” Brad had already undone the back gate of the trailer and was walking Buck backwards out of it.
“ Thanks. I could use a hot shower and a shave.” Caleb said pulling his duffle bag out of the front seat.
“ Just be sure to take your boots off before you track through the house. Lily will open a can of whip ass on you if you muddy up her floors. She clobbered Harold last night with a wet mop in the ass when he forgot.” Brad said with a big grin.
Caleb raised his hand in acknowledgement before he headed toward the back door and kitchen entrance. Dropping his duffle bag by the door to the basement he went up the back stairs heading for his room. He paused outside of Allen’s room when he heard laughing. Moving closer, he pressed his ear to the door.
“ Come here you little rascal. You are going to be in so much trouble.” A soft, sexy, feminine voice said. “Oh, you are such a bad boy.”
Caleb could barely suppress a groan. It had been over a year since he had had sex and now his brother was doing it in the middle of the day. Hell, if he had known Allen was going to rebound so well he wouldn’t have wasted his energy on worrying about him. Pushing away from the door he hurried to his room and a hot shower. Shit, he better make it a cold one instead from the hard on he had in his pants. He wondered if Allen’s friend would be interested in a threesome. For the first time, he was actually interested in someone Allen was, at least if the voice that had given him the hard on was any indication. It had always been their hope they would find a woman who would want to be with them, all three of them. So far, it had remained a fruitless dream. It seemed his, Ethan, and Allen’s tastes in women differed dramatically. Ethan like the tall, willowy type, Allen liked the biker babes,
