Chapter 13

She jerked her foot back, and this time he let her go. She angled forward on the sofa. “I never thought of that. I’ll Google it.”

He stood, the movement pushing the ottoman away from him. “I want to see this, too.”

She was already moving away when he grasped her right arm beneath her elbow. She glanced back, and he dangled her sock in front of her. A sense of lightness made her laugh, her body still relaxed, like marshmallows pulled until they were stretched into taffy. She grabbed the sock and kept going, one foot warm and one foot cold. The same way she felt about Logan, warm and cold. Though right now, the warmth was winning.

It had been a lousy day, and the place she’d come to for refuge seemed to be turning its back on her.

But Logan had been there for her with a foot massage. The ultimate relaxant. The ultimate aphrodisiac.

He reached her netbook on the desk at the corner of the living room first. “Put on your sock. I’ll Google.”

“It’s my computer.”

“Don’t worry. I know my way around a computer.” He gave her a wicked grin, silently telling her that a computer wasn’t the only thing he knew the way around.

It made her want to hit him. At the same time, his grin swept away the tension rising inside her, and she knew that was his intention to take her mind off what the town board had done.

She still might have argued, but it dawned on her, like a slap in the face, that he wanted to be seen as devilish, an old-fashioned rake, the bad boy. But in reality, he was a nice guy. All the evidence pointed to it. Keeping his grandmother’s house for nearly a decade for sentimental reasons. Letting her and Zach stay—and not calling the sheriff. And now, trying to help her.

Sure, not all of his intentions were noble. If she suddenly gave into her lust and hopped into his bed, she was pretty sure he’d hop in with her. He certainly was no saint—but who was? Besides, she suspected that a saint wouldn’t be nearly as interesting or fun. And a saint wouldn’t make her feel…desirable and interesting and alive in every sense of the word. Bodily and emotionally.

He asked her Duane’s name and the town he’d worked in then typed it in quickly for a man who only used two fingers on each hand. He hit enter then his fingers stilled, and he glanced up at her, two vertical lines between his eyebrows. “Something else is going on with you.”

What? Did he sense her thoughts? “Nothing. Are you a mind reader?”

“It’s my next profession.” His eyes glittered, and he gave her his I’m-a-devil grin again. “Don’t tell anyone, or the government will know I’m really an alien. That’s the real reason I left L.A. One day I noticed there seemed to be a lot of men in black wherever I went, and I decided to get out while I could.
