Cold State Line

Las Vegas, the city of sin, of all that glitters is gold, of sex and gambling. It was quite a fucking town to visit. I couldn't imagine living here. No wonder there was so much corruption. And to think I was here to fight for my title.

"Welcome back, Clay." One of the oldest and best rodeo bronc riders slapped my back. "You think you'll be a repeating champ?"

"Of course. I'm still the best bull rider this fine country has to offer," I said to the man. "I just gotta check something and I'll meet you at arena."

I wasn't going to compete this year. There was something else that needed my attention more. Haylee was calling my name. I was going to get that woman to come back to me. Rumor had it that Matt was visiting her, taking care of her. I needed to take care of him. He wouldn't be stepping in on my woman.
********************************************************************************************************
Haylee looked at me, nerves running through her eyes. I loved that look. There was something about seeing fear in her eyes and face and body that turned me the fuck on. I don't know what it was, but the more frightened she was, the more I wanted her.

"Something wrong, darling?"

I could see her take in a deep breath. "No, I just didn't expect you."

Of course, she didn't. I was supposed to be in Vegas. Everyone had told her I was in Vegas, doing another rodeo run. "I'm sure you didn't. Why is Matt here?"

"I'm here to look after her," Matt said, shooting me the deepest of glares. Did he think he scared me? Only my daddy scared me. Matt was shorter than me, and he wasn't even that muscular. "Why are you here, Clay?"

"Because Haylee is mine. Anything goes on in her life, I know about it. You shouldn't be here. She's well looked after, I assure you."

Matt sent me a look. I couldn't read it. It was a weird mixture of perhaps pity and anger. He opened his mouth to speak, but Haylee beat him to the punch.

"Clay, you can't be here. You aren't supposed to be anywhere near me! GET OUT!"

I smiled at her. "I'll be around, darling."
***********************************************************************************************************
I sent one of my guys to watch her house. Now that I knew Matt was with Haylee, I needed someone to watch her twenty-four/seven. I didn't trust that dick any further than I could throw him. Haylee was mine. She hadn't denied that today; she had just told me to leave.

She would be mine. Of that I was sure.

Notes

Hey all, I'm just tired and in a lot of pain today, so the chapter has to be short. I didn't even want to update, but I didn't want to leave y'all hanging. So, enjoy the short update.... please?
