“I have a big fucking problem.” I shut my office door behind me, set my bag on my desk. Somehow I’d survived an hour long class doing a complex problem on fixed data versus the flexibility of something like childbirth. Only the math itself kept me from thinking of how Ella had looked when she’d come all over a dick for the first time.

Barely.

“Macon? The shit with North?” West, my brother, asked.

I instantly thought of someone trying to kill North. Of her assistant being Macon’s lover. Of the secrets she’d finally revealed to us.

“No. Different problems,” I replied.

“We still haven’t heard back about the DNA tests,” he said. While I was in Bozeman, he was on his ranch, a few miles down the road from the big house, almost two hours away.

“You’d think with a billion dollars we could get a rush on those,” I grumbled.

“Okay, so you’ve got a big fucking problem other than you’re cranky like you missed snack time?”

I had, actually. I wasn’t used to the extra class. I yanked open my desk drawer and pulled out a protein bar.

“The fight last night didn’t help your mood?” he asked.

I bit off a chunk of the peanut butter and chocolate. “It was two nights ago, and I guess I need to beat the shit out of someone else.”

I had anger issues. Big ones. I didn’t need a shrink to know they’d manifested from living and dealing with Macon as a kid. In high school, I took my anger out using my fists on assholes and bullies because I was over six feet tall and two hundred pounds in tenth grade. No one messed with me, except Macon. In college, I’d started fighting competitively. While I’d gotten a football scholarship, the coach hadn’t cared about my extracurricular activities as long as I wasn’t too hurt to train or play games.

Now I spent time in the ring doing MMA, boxing, and even underground matches. Fight club style. I was one of the biggest guys to compete. I was quick for my size and had plenty of angst and meanness in my blood. The cage fight the other night had taken the edge off my constant aggression.

It had been worse lately. Macon’s death had stirred shit up. West knew all about it, but I tried to hide the extent of my drive from everyone else. For now.

“Fine. Two nights ago. What could go wrong there in the big city?” West’s voice was as tame as usual. His sarcasm wasn’t.

As for the big city, Bozeman, Montana was far from that. But the Wainright Ranch was on the largest swath of privately owned land in the state, which meant isolation and remoteness. The nearest town had a population of less than ten thousand. My name, along with my three siblings, was on the deed for all of it.

“I had a one-night stand,” I admitted, running a hand through my hair. I’d had a semi since I saw Ella in the third row.
