Mac pulled Eve’s suitcase from the back of Grant’s truck. After the bomb squad had cleared her house, she’d packed a bag and they’d headed to the police station to make a statement. That had taken another hour and a half.

Dusk had already fallen and he was beat. More mentally than anything. But at least Eve was alive and unharmed. He’d nearly lost a decade of his life during those moments he hadn’t known if she’d been all right.

When he’d found her lying face down in the grass, he could have sworn his heart stopped beating. Until she’d moved. Then something foreign had twisted inside him. Something he didn’t want to admit existed for her. That sharp burst of adrenaline and the need to protect her had nearly overwhelmed him. That need had always been there. Since they were kids in fact. But this was different. It wasn’t simply a need to keep her safe. He wanted to claim her so that every male in the damn state knew she belonged to him.

After Grant headed toward the bunkhouse where he stayed during the weeks he was on night rotation at the ranch, Eve cleared her throat nervously. “I never got a chance to ask you, but why’d you lie to the sheriff?”

“What are you talking about?” Enough hours had passed that he’d hoped she’d forget about it. Should have known better. The woman forgot nothing.

“When you told him you convinced me not to tell the police about what I’d seen.”

He shrugged as they reached his front door. “I didn’t want you to get in any trouble.”

“I don’t need a big brother.” She sounded testy and he wasn’t sure why.

He sure as hell didn’t have brotherly feelings for her. After last night she should know that. “And I don’t want to be your brother,” he muttered. He wished that was all he wanted. Sleeping under the same roof would be a hell of a lot easier if his feelings were platonic. He might not want to want her, but that burning deep-seated need for her wasn’t going away any time soon. The longer he was around her, the more obvious that became.

She said something he couldn’t understand but he wasn’t going to ask her to repeat it. He wanted a cold beer and a hot shower. “Which room do you want?” he asked as they reached the beginning of the hallway.

Eve took the bag from his hand. “I’ll stay in the one I did last night if that’s all right?”

He’d rather her sleep in his bed. He told himself it was simply because he wanted to hold her. To convince himself she was okay. But that was bullshit. He wanted to bury himself inside her and make her come so many times she didn’t remember the touch of anyone before him. The offer was on the tip of his tongue but somehow he reined it in. Damn, he really did need sleep. “It’s fine. I’m going to grab a beer.
