The next time Sean saw Eden was in the woods a week later. Out for a walk and going down to one of his favourite secluded spots, he stopped short when he heard voices raised in anger.

"I don't believe you."

"I don't give a damn what you believe. You don't get to question me this way. You never wanted to come here. You still don't want to be with me, so what I do here is none of your fucking business."

There was a growl of anger. Sean stepped forward to see Harrison, bare-chested and wearing swimming shorts, pinning Eden to a tree by both shoulders. Eden's hair was wet and he too wore nothing but a pair of shorts. He struggled with Harrison, hands gripping his shoulders in return.

"Take your fucking hands off him right now," Sean said in a deadly tone of voice.

Harrison turned around in surprise. "Well, well, well, if it isn't your not-so-secret admirer," he addressed his lover.

Sean moved closer. "Step away."

Harrison's eyes narrowed. "Or what?"

Sean stayed still. "Or I arrest you for assault. I'm Sheriff of this town in case he hasn't told you."

Harrison's lip curled in distaste. "Oh, he told me. He told me you weren't fucking him either, which I didn't believe."

Sean remained calm. "As Eden said, I don't give a damn what you believe. You take your hands off him right now or you and I are going to have a problem."

Harrison stepped back. He shot a venomous look at Eden. "Your hero. You always did get hard for powerful men, didn't you?" He bent down, retrieved a bag off the ground and stalked away through the trees.

Eden was flushed with anger, and he fixed flashing topaz eyes on Sean. "You're eighteen years too late. Don't think you can come in here on your white horse now when you should have done it then. Do you think that little display is going to have me falling into bed with you in gratitude?"

Sean regarded him coolly. "I'm not trying to get you into bed," he kept his voice low. "I just won't have anyone hurting you is all."

Eden shoved him backwards furiously with a hand to the chest. "And you didn't care about that eighteen years ago! What's changed now?"

Sean kept his eyes on his. Eden's display of emotion unsettled him. "I have," he said quietly. "I told you that the other night."

"And I didn't believe you. Leave me the hell alone."

Sean grabbed Eden by the scruff of the neck and hauled him back as he tried to walk away, pushing him back against the tree. "If you wanted me to leave you alone, why did you come back here? You've opened up this can of worms, not me, now deal with whatever's happening between us."

Eden stopped struggling abruptly, eyes wide and fixed on Sean. Sean cursed himself for being so honest. A moment later, whatever he had seen in Eden's eyes disappeared and his gaze was back to being icy and shuttered. "There's nothing between us," he said coldly.
