Chapter Eleven

Grateful to be out of the hospital, Becky ignored her fatigue and achiness. The epinephrine shot had kicked in when she’d been in the ambulance, along with the IV they gave her, so she had stabilized quickly. Once home, she managed to get her exhausted and cranky daughter asleep. The shower had made Becky feel much better. With her hair wet, and wearing a tank and sweat pants, she padded barefoot to the kitchen.

Logan’s green eyes hit hers and she stopped, slapping her hand down on the table. Her stomach flipped, and heat warmed her chest. The memory of her wild panic as she’d run from the bees, then Logan’s arm coming around her and yanking her off her feet tripped her replay button. It had been his eyes, his voice, his touch that had eased her terror and soothed her frantic worry. He’d stayed by her side at the hospital. Held her hand.

And Becky had fallen in love. Wholly and completely. With a man who only wanted her temporarily to get his land. Smart, Becky, real smart. But what did she do now? How did she figure out a way to protect her heart?

“Feeling better?”

Crap, she stared at him like a moron. “Yes.” Except for her tight skin, tingling breasts, and the throbbing between her legs that was creating an edgy need to strip off her clothes and beg him to take her, possess her, drive them both to wild heights so she could feel safe and alive, not so damned scared and struggling to breathe.

“Come sit down and have dinner. Just soup and sandwiches. Eating at the island okay with you?”

Right, dinner. Not wild, hot sex to ease that frantic ache building in her. Nodding, she forced her feet to take her to a barstool. Logan slid a bowl of steaming soup in front of her, then added a thick grilled cheese sandwich. The scent of toasted bread and oozing cheese woke her stomach up. Better. Craving food helped take her mind off her supersized sex drive.

“Is your arm sore?”

He missed nothing, like the fact she was eating with her left hand. “A little bit. Most of the swelling is down though.”

He could love you. Maybe if you figure out what he wants…

No, that was the old Becky who had found herself pregnant, involved in a hit-and-run, and now fighting to keep her child. Besides, Logan had been clear what he wanted—

No children.

No matter how it had looked today when he’d held Sophie on that horse. That moment when his eyes met hers…Logan didn’t want children or a wife. He wanted his land, and to start and be a part of Camp Warrior Recovery. He was going to help a lot of men and women who deserved his passion and caring.

And she was going to let him go.

But for right now, tonight? She wanted him, no she needed him. Needed his arms around her, his body filling hers and pushing out the lingering terror. But she was going to keep her lines clear—it was sex, not love.
