Chapter Four

This is insane, Mom, rang in Faith’s head, clear as a bell. Derrick’s hissed, angry words taunted her all while she’d walked over to her house beside Eli in the heavy fall of snow. It clanged harder in her brain as she grabbed fresh linens from the hall closet to put on her daughter Avery’s bed.

Then it began to pound as she started down the stairs to find Eli’s broad back turned away from her as he tended the fire, completely unaware she was gobbling him up with her eyes.

Yes. It probably was insane. But there was something about Eli she couldn’t put her finger on. Something sincere, maybe even a little lost, but she’d grown pretty good at reading people over her long life, and Eli meant no harm. He was solid, oozing integrity and pride, and yes, he was like sex on a stick.

Okay?

Sexysexysexy. Yum-yum.

She’d tried to convince herself she hadn’t invited him to stay because he was an undeniable visual party, but it was there no matter how much she denied it.

There was just…something. Something that had compelled her to intervene with her overbearing, protesting son and ignore all the warning bells shooting off inside her.

Chalking this insta-attraction up to her lack of male attention for so long was the story she was sticking to for now. She had to, or she’d hate herself even more than she already did.

Brock.

Eli had met Brock, but he couldn’t remember how long ago. More of that anger she’d been struggling with managed its way up her spine. Clearly Brock had been fine enough to carry on a conversation with someone. He remembered where he lived, so a little soap opera amnesia was out. He wasn’t lost or held captive if he was in a hotel bar, drinking.

So what the hell had happened to the man whose heart wouldn’t let hers go?

She finished making her way down the stairs and shook off her questions, her irrefutable anger. She had to let this be or she’d go mad. She’d tapped every resource known to man, reached out to the far corners of the paranormal world, in some of the seediest places she could reach to, and nothing.

There hadn’t been a single soul who’d ever had any information on Brock. Now this man, a complete stranger, and a human no less, had actually interacted with him?

It didn’t make sense.

For now she was going to focus on keeping a nice man from dying of exposure. When he left, she’d figure out what to do with the big ball of fury lodged deeply in her belly, and maybe she’d give a stab at figuring out the rest of her life and finally letting Brock go.

“Thank you for stoking the fire,” she murmured to Eli as she came up behind him. “It’s pretty ugly out there, huh?” Faith tipped her head with a smile toward the big bay window in her living room where the sky had grown a purplish-blue.

Eli nodded his sandy-brown head, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
