Chapter Fourteen

Jim’s apartment had become Command Headquarters. Caitlyn felt like all she did was make sandwiches and coffee, then clean up after meals. It irritated her that she couldn’t help out more, but there wasn’t a whole lot she could do in her area of expertise.

At least she hoped not. If she had to use her medical skills it would be because one of the men she cared for was hurt, and that was not a scenario she wanted to consider.

That Mac was lumped in with that group of men wasn’t something she wanted to think too much about either.

They’d declared an unspoken truce and hadn’t discussed much more than whether he wanted mustard or mayo on his ham sandwich. The tension between them tied her up in knots, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. It wasn’t like her brothers gave her a minute alone with Mac anyway.

There always seemed to be someone around whenever Mac came in the door. Not that she minded. She wasn’t going to sleep with Mac again, even though he’d smartened up and took her brothers off his suspect list. Nope, she wasn’t an idiot, she knew better than to court heartache in a six-foot-three package.

Even if that package was so sexy it made her teeth itch.

She’d done a lot of thinking since their one night together. There was plenty of time for introspection when she was stuck in Jim’s apartment with nothing to do until she went back to work. Sleeping with Mac had been a mind-bending experience, but just because it was awesome didn’t mean it was good for her.

It was a narrow miss, but she’d escaped with her heart intact. When Mac got on his horse and rode off into the sunset, she’d be able to wave goodbye without a tear.

Okay, maybe just one.

There was something about him that called to a part deep inside her. She knew where he was in the apartment without even looking. It was like a current ran between them and she drew energy from his presence. At times, she could feel his gaze on her and knew he felt it too.

But he never acted on it.

That was a good thing, right?

Caitlyn snorted at herself and finished washing the latest set of lunch dishes. Who was she kidding? If Mac crooked his finger at her, she’d jump him on the spot. It was only his control that kept her from making a fool of herself. She wanted Mac and the need grew every day.

It wasn’t just his looks—though those were enough to take her breath away. With his hair cut short and his jaw free of whiskers, the strong lines of his face stood out clearly. His sky blue eyes drew her attention time and time again. During their daily meetings, she’d catch him staring at her and a surge of pure lust would shoot through her. All it took was one look from those blazing orbs of his and she was toast.

God, what
