Perched on the toilet lid, Genevieve fought to still the traitorous shake of her body. Trey knelt beside the tub, swirling his huge hand in the hot water to stir in the bubble bath. The same hand had closed around Wade’s throat and lifted him in the air with the ease of a doll. She tried not to look at the boots in front of her. Don’t ever touch what’s mine again. She clenched her jaw to keep her teeth from chattering. She’d heard the crunch of bone when Trey had purposely stomped Wade’s hand under his boot. How could that be the same man that had carried her upstairs in his arms and was now drawing her bath?

His hands had been so gentle in the kitchen, and then he’d exploded. She rubbed at her arms. If she was honest, she’d known it was coming. She’d seen him fighting his anger bent over the fallen boar, had felt the tension humming through him as he’d helped her from the horse and held her. Why had he been holding back? She jumped as his hand landed on her knee.

“Come on, darlin'. Let’s get your clothes off. You’ll feel a lot better after a soak,” he said softly.

His hands were gentle as he helped her undress. She shivered as the back of his fingers brushed over the swell of her breasts much like Wade’s had in the barn. The thought of that man touching her made her long for the bath. Don’t ever touch what’s mine again. Trey’s words echoed in her mind. There had been such rage behind the words, and he didn’t even know about Catherine. She bit her lip. That jealous, possessive rage had been unleashed for her. The thought was humbling, frightening, but still sent a tiny thrill through her. She felt a blush creeping up her neck.

He picked her up and slowly eased her down into the hot water, stopping whenever she gasped before lowering her a bit more. His strength never failed to amaze her. She looked up as he placed a sweet kiss on top of her head.

“Take your time. I have some things to take care of and then we’ll eat when you’re done.”

She watched him walk to the door, rolling his shirt sleeves back down his powerful forearms.

“Trey?”

He turned at his name. She hesitated, self-conscious under his scrutiny.

“Thank you.”

His head cocked to the side in puzzlement.

“For what?”

“For coming to find me, rescuing me from the pig, but mostly for believing me,” she whispered.

He studied her for a moment and then nodded slowly. “Don’t ever lie to me; Gen. That will make it easy to believe you.”

He didn’t wait for an answer, turning on a heel to leave the room. She sank lower into the suds, glad not to have to answer.
