“Oh, his time will come.”
Jace chuckled. “That just might be one for the ages. But, I’ll admit, I’d love to see it. Ryan’s a good man. He deserves to find a good woman like we have.”
“Are you thinking what I am?” Cooper asked mischievously.
Jace’s mouth widened in a smile. “Damn straight. We need to start setting him up.”
“I’ll go tell Caleb and Brice.”
Jace waited until Cooper had walked away before he went to his wife. Taryn and the mare were getting to know one another. Already, Jace could see it would be a strong bond.
“She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” Taryn said when he reached her.
“Caleb has had her for the last month, making sure she was trained properly. You can ride her now.”
Taryn’s green eyes lit up. Then she frowned as she looked at everyone. “Later.”
“Whenever you want. We can go now.”
She shook her head. “Our family is all together. That’s not easy for such a large group. We’re going to take advantage of it. We’ll go for a ride later, just the two of us. Be sure to pack a blanket.”
“Oh, woman,” he said as he drew her against him. “You read my mind.”
