CHAPTER 14

They made their plans. The rest of the family wouldn’t get here before Buffert did or that’s what Eagle thought.

“Buffert’s at his ranch right now, gathering his men,” Eagle told them. “He’ll be here shortly to see if he can’t kill us or force us to run.”

“There’ll be neither today,” Job promised.

Relief coursed through Travis’s body. They could hold Buffert’s men off long enough for the others to get there. He was used to fighting alone, but having people to watch his back made him far more confident than he would be if he were alone.

“Eagle, you and Josiah go out to the barn. Keep an eye out. We can’t have them burning the barn down.”

The two men grabbed their rifles and ammo. Josiah stepped out 109

onto the porch. Eagle gave Travis a glance before following his brother. Travis squashed the odd feeling of concern pounding in his chest. Nothing would happen to Eagle. The man knew how to handle his weapons. No point in making a bigger deal about sending him out to fight than necessary.

Job stood, moving to the back door and peering out. “You trust them?”

“As much as I trust the rest of you,” Travis admitted.

“Which doesn’t tell me a whole helluva lot.”

He looked up to see Job resting against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest and eyebrows raised.

“You’re family. Why wouldn’t I trust you?” Travis shifted uneasily because, for the first time in his life, someone looked at him and saw through his surface. Job seemed to know something about him that no one, not even Eagle, did.

“If your father hadn’t forced you into taking on the job of helping the clan, you’d have disappeared a long time ago.”

“What makes you think so? I wouldn’t abandon my family.”

His protest sounded a little loud and he cringed inside.

Job tilted his head, studying Travis for a second. “No, you’re right. You wouldn’t have abandoned the family and maybe being the ungrounded member makes your life a little easier. Keeps your secrets a little safer.”

“I don’t have any secrets.”

Starting to turn, he wanted to get away from Job’s knowing gaze. Job was across the room and gripping his arm before Travis even realized his cousin was moving. He stared at the rough, scarred hand on his arm for a moment before raising his gaze to meet Job’s light green eyes.

“There’s something between you and that Indian out there.”

Job nodded in the direction of the barn. “I can sense it and see the connection between you.”

Travis’s worst fear had come to light. Someone knew about his perversions. He yanked away from Job and laughed bitterly. “Do you have the ‘sight’ or something, cousin?”

Job’s serious expression didn’t change. “Yes, I do, from my ma’s side.”

A shiver racked his body and he stepped back toward the front door. “So you ‘see’ things, huh? And what do you do with what you see?”

Shit. Was his cousin going to beat him for what Job thought he saw between
