Chapter 9

“WHERE are we going, and why am I not driving?”

Shifting the car into fourth, Logan looked over at Kat sitting beside him in a stretchy black workout outfit. She seemed more curious than irritated by his mysterious invitation to join him for the day.

“We’re going to Milwaukee, and you aren’t driving because the last time I let you get behind the wheel, you hit every blasted pothole in the road. On purpose.”

She laughed. “Fair point.”

It had been almost a week since he’d come home to find her frozen, pale, and death-gripping a salad fork in the living room. When she’d told him about the attack, he’d nearly gone crazy with rage. Even now, he wanted to rip the bastard’s head off and probably would if he ever found him.

But today was about being prepared, not getting even. He just hoped the decision to keep this a secret from Kat didn’t turn out to be a major mistake. He knew it was a risky move. Hell, she might refuse to participate, but he still had to try something. He couldn’t stand the thought of ever seeing her so scared and vulnerable again. And like it or not, he wouldn’t always be there to protect her.

“So why did I have to wear comfortable clothes today?” She frowned. “I should be dressed a little nicer if we’re heading into the city.”

He blew out a breath and glanced her way. “I’ll tell you where we’re going. But you have to promise not to permanently damage any of my favorite body parts.”

She narrowed her eyes. “No way I’m making that promise. Spill it, McCabe. What did you do?”

He turned his attention back to the road, trying like hell to look casual. “I signed you up for a day-long women’s self-defense class. Even though you don’t have to attend, I hope you’ll consider it,” he added quickly before she could argue. “You can’t let the assholes of the world stop you from living, but I’d feel better knowing you can beat the shit out of any guy that bothers you again.”

“What if you’re the guy bothering me?”

He chuckled. “Then you should definitely beat the shit out of me.”

“This class will teach me how?” She sounded intrigued.

“Too right.”

“Okay, big guy.” She clicked her tongue. “I’ll do it.”

“Should I be worried by how happy you sound right now?”

“Too right,” she said, mimicking his accent.

He grimaced. “Remember, you promised not to damage any parts that won’t recover.”

“Actually, I remember not making that promise. Don’t worry, though, I’m not mad. I’ve been thinking about taking a class like this since the night it happened.” She turned to look out the window. “But every time I thought about looking for one, it brought back memories I wanted to forget.”

Cursing under his breath, Logan let up on the accelerator. “I’m sorry, darl. I’m a no-hoper.” He should have realized this would bring back memories of the attack. “It’s too soon. I’ll take you home.”

“No.” She put her hand on his arm and paused, waiting for him to glance at her.
