For all that Rhetta had wanted to see Wyoming, it wasn’t half what she’d hoped, clouded with equal measures of desire and fear. Clint wasn’t going to marry her because she’d lied. Part of her wanted to be angry about that, but she couldn’t. She hated lying, hiding, scheming.

“What do you do, what are you good at, what are your passions?” Clint quietly asked from his shadowed spot on the other side of the back seat. It felt like he was a mile away, but she’d felt the prickle of his stare since he’d moved over there.

“I’m an artist, but I’m also a financial planner. I have a business degree. Why?” She couldn’t see how it mattered what her background was, she’d given all that up when she’d left.

“We’ve been so busy dancing around the fact that you were lying about your past, that we never even bothered to warm up.” He cracked his knuckles, sending an unwanted shudder up her spine.

“What’s to know? You already told me you don’t like to be lied to, you prefer cars to horses, and you don’t dance sober. See, I was listening.” She reached down and opened the little fridge next to her seat, surprised that there was no alcohol in it. She’d refused a whiskey the day before, but it would feel good right about now. She’d have to settle for a soda.

“Yes, you were listening to the shortest bio I’ve ever given. But you didn’t know that I’m military.”

Her heart spasmed and then raced. Military was the one type she’d wanted to avoid. He cocked his head. “That information bothers you. Why?”

She held her breath and counted to ten, nice and slow. How could she get out of this? What could she tell him that was honest and yet not give away everything? “I had a brother in the military… He wasn’t kind.” There. She’d kept her promise to tell him the truth, yet really hadn’t told him anything.

“Was he part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation?” Clint’s face didn’t change, he was just making conversation, but it was all she could do not to spout, Never!

“I don’t know exactly, I wasn’t privy to all he did.” True enough, though she knew he was never, and would never, submit to Russia.

“Ah. Well, I was an Officer in the Navy. Intelligence.”

That explained his build, he certainly made time to stay…healthy. “And why did you leave?” Since he didn’t wear a uniform, and frankly, she doubted servicemen would have as much money as he seemed to have, he couldn’t still be in the service.

“I didn’t. Not completely. My company, Sage Enterprises, builds destroyers and other things we don’t need to talk about for the Navy.”

She wrapped her arms around her roiling stomach. He was everything she was terrified of, yet everything she wanted in one delicious hard package. From where she sat, she could see some parts were still harder than others.

“Are you a spy or something? Is that why you won’t talk to me? You can trust me.
