Chapter Nine

“Do you know those men?” Isabella asked during the drive back to the farm.

Bother. Part of Kiera wished Sly had accepted the offer of a ride instead of going off on his own. Isabella noticed everything, and Kiera could have done with a buffer. “I assume they work for my brother’s friend William.”

“Why didn’t you tell Laura?”

“Because I don’t want my family business dragged through the court system. At least now I’m forewarned and can take steps to protect myself. Laura said they’re here on a visitor’s permit and they’d face deportation after the charges. I’m fine with the punishment.”

“I can help if you want,” Isabella said.

“Why would you help me?” Kiera asked, surprised at the offer from a woman who usually held herself aloof with anyone who wasn’t a Mitchell or a close family friend.

“You’re a shifter. You seem decent and Joe likes you. Why aren’t you at Joe’s place now anyway? Did you have a fight?”

“Of course not. I needed to finish work on a truck. Things are weird now that his brother has turned up. I decided they might like time together without me in the way.”

Isabella took her attention off the road to glance at Kiera. “And yet Sly turned up at the garage.”

“He doesn’t like me.”

“Maggie screwed him over,” Isabella said. “I suspect he doesn’t trust anyone at present, especially women.”

Kiera shrugged, unable to dispute the facts.

The farmhouse stood in darkness as they pulled up outside, but a light flicked on seconds later. Joe appeared, wearing only a pair of jeans. “Isabella, what’s going— Kiera?”

“Someone broke into the workshop,” Kiera said, climbing out of the car and going to join Joe. “I’m okay.” She turned to Isabella. “Thanks for bringing me home.”

“No problem. I’d better go before Leo sends out a search party.” With a wave, she backed up the car and drove off.

“Are you okay?”

Kiera scowled. “The two men who broke in work for William. I didn’t tell Laura and Charlie.”

“William? Why would he do that?”

“Put pressure on me to go home, I guess. That’s the only reason I can think of.”

Joe curled his arm around her waist. “I don’t like the way it happened, but I’m not sorry. I like having you in my bed.”

“Do you now?” Kiera didn’t try to restrain her grin. “I wasn’t looking forward to an empty bed.”

Joe urged her inside. “Did you get the work done on the truck?”

“It’s ready for Harold to pick up first thing.”

“Excellent. Come to bed.”

Kiera grinned, enjoying both his touch and scent. She leaned in to him, wallowing in the familiar sensations. “Sounds perfect to me.”

“We might have time for a quickie.”

“That could be arranged,” she said in a prim voice. Didn’t he understand she’d do just about anything for him? “One quickie coming up.”

In the bedroom, Joe slipped off his jeans. Kiera started to undress, but Joe stayed her with a hand. “Let me.”

“One other thing about tonight,” Kiera said. “Sly was there. His quick thinking brought Laura, and by the looks of the scratches on one of the men, he jumped him.
