Jethro Riggs was a bad boy. It was in his blue eyes, in his overly long black hair that he had pulled back into a low ponytail at that nape of his neck, and in the closely cropped beard and mustache he wore.

He winked the second she opened the door. “Keiley, you’re too pretty for Mac. Come on. Run away with me now and I’ll rescue you from him.”

“And you are just as hell-bent as you always were,” she informed him, stepping back from the door as he stepped inside the foyer of the large farmhouse. “Mac is still showering, but he should be done in a bit.”

“I called him and warned him I was coming to steal you away. See how lacking in consideration he is? He’s not even down here to protect you.”

“Who needs his protection?” She arched her brow mockingly. “I have a black belt in tae kwon do, Jethro. I can almost kick his ass.”

“Eh. A five-year-old could kick his ass.” He set his duffel bag in the hall and stared around the open foyer curiously. “Still can’t believe Mac’s a farmer, Keiley. Tell me he doesn’t pitch hay all day.”

“He doesn’t pitch hay all day. There’s actually a few hours when he’s cleaning out stalls.”

Jethro grimaced. “He’s pitching something else instead, then?”

Keiley chuckled as she closed the door. “Grab your bag. I’ll show you to your room and you can freshen up before dinner. I’m sure Mac won’t take long.”

She hoped he didn’t take long. After the images that had played in her mind all day due to the suspicion that Mac had brought his friend here for reasons other than a friendly visit, she felt strangely vulnerable in Jethro’s presence.

As he picked up his large duffel bag, Keiley headed for the stairs, heading for the second floor and the guest room she had chosen for him. The room furthest away from her and Mac’s. He could make her rather loud when they were having sex. Too loud. She was going to need a gag; then she might have a chance that Jethro wouldn’t hear them at the other end of the house.

“It’s a damned nice place,” Jethro said as he followed her up the stairs.

Why did she feel his eyes on her ass?

“We’ve done a lot of work on the house since we moved in.” She cleared her throat uncomfortably, suddenly very much aware of the fact that her jeans molded to her butt. “Mac’s very handy with a hammer.”

“That and a gun is all a man needs,” he joked.

She paused at the landing to stare back at him with narrow-eyed intent. “Mac no longer carries a gun, Jethro.”

His lips quirked. “A screwdriver?”

She inclined her head in acceptance and began moving down the hallway.

“Here’s your room.” She opened the door that led into the spacious guest room. “There’s a private bathroom.” She opened the nearby door before moving across the room. “And this is the closet. The phone line has its own number, and there’s wireless and wired Internet access from the port on the desk.
