Chapter 12

CHAD WALKED AROUND the helicopter. At one time, this tandem rotor, heavy-lift Chinook had ferried soldiers and supplies in a war zone. But it had spent the past few years hauling limber. And the California logging company that had gone belly-up thanks to the sluggish economy had stripped the bird down to the metal frame.

He ran his hand over the exterior. “Perfect.”

“Glad you approve.” Eric stood a few feet away, arms folded across his chest. “I sent the final payment yesterday. Moore Timber now owns two working helicopters, plus that heap of junk you insisted on buying for parts, and we still have only one pilot on staff.”

“I ran into Luke Murphy at the gas station this morning. He’s interested in picking up some shifts,” Chad said, struggling to keep his voice serious. After talking to Luke in the checkout line, he’d damn near skipped back to his pickup.

Not that Luke deserved all the credit. The memory of the beautiful woman on her knees with her lips around his cock played a large part in his good spirits this morning. And the way, Lena had screamed his name while he’d rocked her world; yeah that was icing on the cake that left him skipping like a giddy schoolgirl.

“Is he qualified?” Eric asked, drawing Chad’s wayward mind away from Lena’s orgasms.

“Luke flew in the air force, so I’m confident in his skills, and he grew up around here, so he knows the business.”

“Does he have a sister?”

“It shouldn’t matter now,” Chad said. “I took myself off the market like you suggested. I’m seeing someone.”

“Lena Clark. I heard. And I saw enough last night when you picked her up to know it’s more than a rumor.” Eric turned his attention back to the helicopter. “I guess you’re right. It might work out with Luke.”

“What? You’re not going to lecture me on how I shouldn’t screw around with Lena? How I shouldn’t hurt her after what she’s been through?”

Eric raised an eyebrow. “Are you messing with her?”

“No,” he said evenly. They’d laid out the terms of their deals. He belonged to her at night and she pretended to be his during the day.

“But that didn’t stop Katie from threatening me,” Chad added.

“I’m willing to bet Lena is stronger than you think,” Eric said. “If you screw up, I won’t be the one to kick your ass. Neither will Katie or Georgia. Lena can do that all by herself.”

Chad’s phone vibrated against his thigh. Pulling it out of his pocket, he glanced at the screen. His home phone number. “Excuse me, Eric. This might be Brody or Katie calling about my brother.”

“Chad?” Lena’s voice erased the oh-shit-did-something-happen-to-Josh feeling.

“Hey Lena, how’s my girl today?” He walked away from the helicopter.

“I have an interview.” Excitement disrupted her calm, in-control voice.

“That’s great,” he said, his mind stuck on the fact that she’d called him to share the news. Or maybe she’d started with Georgia and Katie, crossing them off one by one until she reached “fake boyfriend” on her list of go-to contacts.
