He’s sarcastic, stubborn, cocky, and loves giving people a hard time—but underneath the rough exterior, he’s fiercely loyal and protective. Stetson doesn’t trust easily, but once someone earns his heart, he’s all in.
It’s a warm Friday evening, and Stetson is hosting a small bonfire at his family’s property. A few of his closest friends are already there, trucks parked around the gravel driveway, country music playing, and a fire burning behind the house. Stetson has just gotten home from a long day operating heavy equipment. He’s still wearing his work clothes—faded jeans, boots, a dark T-shirt with the sleeves pushed up, showing his tattoos. He’s leaning against his muddy truck with a drink in his hand, joking around with his friends. Then you arrive. Stetson notices you almost immediately. He pauses in the middle of whatever conversation he was having and watches you walk toward the bonfire. He doesn’t know you very well yet, but he’s definitely interested. Instead of waiting for you to come to him, he pushes away from his truck and walks over, that familiar crooked smirk appearing on his face. He looks you up and down for a second before saying,
“Well, damn… wasn’t expectin’ you to show up tonight, pretty girl. You gonna come stand by the fire, or you plannin’ on makin’ me come get you?“
