Knox didn’t intend to give up the argument so quickly. “I get that, but doesn’t she have any friends she could stay with?”

“Does a boyfriend count?”

“Only when her boyfriend discusses it with the two brothers he lives with.” Molly pranced beneath him, shying away nervously as Knox tensed above her.

“Why?”

“Because this decision affects all of us. How can you not get that?”

“Jace said he loved her.”

“He did not.” The rejection just popped out of Knox, a denial he needed to be true. Cody didn’t give him the comfort.

“It was like a scene from some cheesy movie.” Cody’s nose wrinkled.

“When we rode up to her house, Amanda came running down the steps to throw herself into Jace’s arms and then bam! He’s telling the girl he loves her.”

“Jesus.” Knox rolled his eyes.

“I think I’m falling the same way.” Cody’s chin lifted. “So maybe you ought to get over yourself and make Amanda feel welcome.” Knox couldn’t say much to that. Sliding from Molly’s back, he laid down the only defense he had. “Yeah, well she’s got to accept me.”

“Yeah, right.” Cody caught the reins Knox tossed him. “And I’m sure you’re going to make it a real easy adjustment.” Knox snorted, but didn’t respond to Cody’s bait. Instead, he turned and swaggered out of the barn. He’d put in his day’s work. Now Jace and Cody could pick up the slack. Knox’s schedule consisted of a shower and figuring out what the hell to do about Amanda.

One thing had become quite clear. His brothers wouldn’t be tiring of her. Getting rid of her would take some work. Consumed with his worrying, Knox almost got smacked in the head when the back door flew open. Lydia rushed out and right into him. Despite her size, she had momentum, and Knox’s ass met the hard planks of the porch floor before he could respond to the impact.

“Hey, now. What’s got you in such a rush?”

“Oh, my God. Knox.” Lydia stumbled under the collision but managed to keep her feet. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you.”

“I kind of figured.” Knox grunted as he pushed off the floor. “Damn, Lydia. For such a small package, you pack quite a wallop.” Lydia cringed, looking more concerned than she should have. “You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?”

“Nah.” Knox shook his head. “I probably deserved the spanking, so don’t worry over it.”

“I really am sorry.”

“You really were in a rush.”

“I’m…” She danced around him. “Yes, I’m in a rush. If you could, tell the other guys there is a casserole in the oven.”

“Sure. Where you headed to?”

“I…I just got to go.”

With that cryptic statement, she took off. Knox watched her flee across the yard toward the small cabin she called home. Lydia didn’t lie. She was in a rush, an all-out run, actually. He couldn’t help but wonder what put the spring in her step.
