Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Brooklyn

He's not going to kidnap me. If he wanted me kidnapped, he wouldn't be putting on such a show.

No, this is him wanting to impress me.

"Would you mind?" I say, coming within about five feet of him. He watched me as I came, his eyes sliding over me from head to foot. "You're kind of blocking the road."

"Am I?" Colsen asks, glancing over his shoulder, feigning ignorance. Then, he turns back to me and gives me his most charming smile. "My bad."

I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Where are you off to?" he asks next, too casual.

"You know where I'm going, Colsen," I say unwilling to play his game.

Clearly, if he's here, he knew that I would be coming to Aden's stables this morning. And he knew

precisely what time I'd be here, and why I was going.

"You look cute," he says, sliding his hands into his pockets. "A real equestrian, in that getup. Can you ride?"

"Barely," I say, looking to my side at the pretty fields by the side of the road.

Really, though, I turn away because I don't want him to see the smile on my face. You look cute.

"But I like my horse. He needs his exercise."

My face more under control now, I turn back to him, crossing my arms. "So do you mind?"

"Ah, come on," he says, wrinkling his nose at me. "Let someone else exercise your horse today. Hang out with me instead."

"Seriously?" I say, tilting my head as I look at him. "You think that if you block the path towards the thing that I actually want to do, I'll just cave and go out with you?"

He gives me a naughty little smirk then. "Never failed me before."

I can't help myself. I laugh.

"Wait, so you've done this before? Just blocked the road until the girl you like goes out with you?"
