Kane and his brothers had gone over a bunch of scenarios in their heads last night when they got home, and then again this morning. None of their assumptions rang well with them. It was obvious that Hannah was hurt before, and perhaps a victim in some way. The migraines came on with the additional stress, and she had a routine as to how to deal with them. Which he didn’t think was a good thing to take three over the counter migraine aids. He would need to check with Doc Shelton.

“You can call it friends if that helps you feel more relaxed about what’s happening here, but after that kiss, I’ll be asking for more.” He eyed her over and she worried that bottom lip again. He stepped toward her and she widened her eyes and looked ready to run. He took her hand and brought it to his lips and tried to hide his shocked and concerned expression. He brought her fingers to his lips and kissed them, and then the slightly swollen knuckles on her hand. As the smell of strong coffee began to filter through the room, he pressed closer to her and held her gaze as he looked down into her gorgeous jade green eyes. “Put your hands on me, Hannah. Do whatever you feel comfortable doing.”

“I don’t feel comfortable doing anything, Sheriff. This isn’t a good idea at all.”

He gripped her hips and pressed her against the counter gently.

“I think we’re way past sheriff doll. Now call me Kane, and don’t lie to me, angel, and I won’t lie to you.”

“Now tell me why you got emotional after we kissed and I hugged you tight? Didn’t you like the way it felt?” he asked as he reached up and stroked her hair. She stared up at him, her thick, long eyelashes still had tears on them. She looked so needy, so beautiful and young. Very young. He didn’t even know how old she was.

“That was the problem. I liked it too much.”

He squinted and then gave a small smile. “How can that be a problem?”

“I can’t get involved with you, Sheriff.” He raised both eyebrows up at her. “Kane, I can’t.”

“And the reason why?” He stroked her hair again, and this time gripped some strands between his thumb and pointer, and he used his palm to hold her jaw so she would look at him as she spoke.

“I’m not…not capable.”

“What do you mean, capable?”

“I can’t give you what you will need as a man, as a dominant, disciplinarian, and definitely not your brothers, too, a ménage like people engage in around this area.”

“Is it the idea of a ménage that scares you?”

“There’s so much, too much to try and explain, and I’m trying to be honest so you realize that I’m not lying. I can’t let down my guard, put behind the fears I have over things that occurred in my life. I’m not even in control of my own life, so how can I pretend like I’m normal when I’m not.
