Chapter Ten

Hunter tossed the wrench out from under the car he’d been working on as he cursed. He’d started working on his old man’s piece of shit car again this past week as an excuse to stay out of the house. The junked-up Chevelle had seen better days, even after he and his dad started the restoration. After his dad died, though, Hunter couldn’t bring himself to continue it. Not for a few years anyway, and then it was only for a couple of hours here and there. It wasn’t until this week that he’d thrown himself into it again.

He didn’t care if he was using the car as his reason to avoid the woman only yards away. He should thank her for freeing up the space in his garage when he was done.

“And you’re a dick,” he muttered, knowing he’d never be that mean. Not to her. Jesus, he didn’t know what to think of her or why she ignited things within him. But she did. For that reason alone, he couldn’t say something hateful like that.

“Hey now, most people think I’m pretty awesome,” Brody said.

Hunter rolled from under the car, smile already on his face. “What are you doing here?” He wasn’t complaining. He welcomed the new distraction.

Brody leaned against the built-in tool cabinet and crossed his arms. He shook his head as a slight humorless laugh slipped out. “Xan figured you’d need a break from your ward.”

Hunter reached out and grabbed a rag before hoisting himself up. He wiped his hands as he smiled at Brody. “Thank her for me, would ya?”

“Yeah,” he said slowly. “You can thank her yourself. She’s in your house.”

Hunter’s smile slipped. Why was Xan here? “Oh.”

“With Roxie.”

“Er, why?” He tossed the rag to the side and propped his hands on his hips.

“Sorry, man.” He shrugged. “Your houseguest lives in the Dallas-Forth Worth area. Much larger than Little Rock. She wants to talk shopping. For the wedding.” He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “This is gonna cost me a fuck ton of money.”

Hunter couldn’t feel his fingers. He fisted his hands, released. Nope, still couldn’t feel them. His heart pounded, ears rang. What the hell was wrong with him? He liked Xan, and he’d grown up with Roxie. It shouldn’t matter if they were alone with Maya. He trusted them. And if Xan wanted to talk about her wedding with Maya—

Blood rushed to his head. Oh fuck me. It was Maya and wedding mingling in his brain that caused the reaction. Hell, no. No. He wasn’t the marrying kind. He couldn’t ever risk that with anyone. Besides, he didn’t know Maya that well. They hadn’t even had sex. Why would she elicit that kind of reaction from him when chicks he’d banged casually for years never had?

He slammed the door shut on that thought. It didn’t matter.

When he looked at Brody again, the man continued to wallow in the financial woes of planning a wedding. Rather than think of Maya, Hunter would focus on his sister.
