Wyatt
A city girl, here? She won’t last a week.
But there’s something about her, a fire in her eyes that ignite my deepest protectiveness.
She's trying to prove something, and damn if that doesn't remind me of... no, I can't go down that road again.
I need to keep my distance, for both our sakes.
But why does the thought of pushing her away twist my gut like this?
Watching her move through my fields, challenging me with every step, I’m faced with a choice:
Do I keep her at arm's length, or do I pull her close, claim her as MINE in every sense?
Savannah
Arriving at the ranch, Wyatt's grumpy demeanor and unwelcoming glances hit me first.
Why does he seem determined to push me away?
Each day, I push my body and my limits, proving to myself and to Wyatt that I belong here.
But with every challenging day, there's an undercurrent of something more—a raw attraction that I can't ignore.
His presence is commanding, his gaze unsettling yet inviting.
How does he manage to be both so distant and so close?
The strength of his hands, the curve of his smile—am I just another task for him to manage, or is there a fire in him that matches my own?
As the sun sets and casts long shadows over the fields, my thoughts linger on Wyatt.
What would it feel like to break through his rugged exterior?
To feel the rough touch of his hands on my body, claiming me as he does in my secret dreams?
"Protective Cowboy" is a STEAMY, alpha male, enemies to lovers short story between a brooding cowboy who guards his heart fiercely and a spirited city girl who's not afraid to challenge him. Standalone / HEA.
