Her laugh was barely a puff of air, but it got her moving.

But even as she dived into the cleaning, Lila didn’t know how he did it. She could see the fury and hints of grief in Travis’s dark eyes, but he made jokes.

All the guy had been doing was napping on the beach and now, thanks to her, he was in the middle of a nightmare. Yet he didn’t seem to blame her in the slightest.

Why didn’t he blame her?

More to the point, why had he kissed her?

Memory of that kiss still tingled on her lips. She could taste him. Feel him pressed tight against her. God, the man could kiss.

Forget it, she ordered herself. It’d been a great kiss, sure. But he obviously regretted it. And she had no business wanting another one. Not with a SEAL.

In silence, the two of them moved through the handful of rooms, Lila surreptitiously studying him as they cleaned. By the time the trash was bagged, the irreparably broken furniture piled on the front porch, the clothes and towels stuffed in a laundry bag and foodstuff swept and washed away, she’d figured out one thing.

And only one thing.

She wanted him like crazy. In ways she’d never wanted another man—never even imagined wanting one.

There was a grace to his movements. Oh, they had that economical precision she’d always associated with the military. But they flowed without hesitation.

He made her smile; he made her think.

He made her feel safe, as if she never had to worry if he was nearby. At the same time, she felt as if he thought there was nothing she couldn’t do.

Talk about empowering.

And, oh, that body.

Sweeping up the piles of sugar and powdered energy drink, Lila turned the broom in the opposite direction so she could watch Travis bent over the recliner, straightening a metal bar with a hammer. The view of his bicep bulging and stretching with each swing was drool-worthy. But the real treat was the sweet curve of his butt encased in well-worn denim. She had the strongest urge to run her hands over his tee where it stretched across his shoulders.

Nope.

No touching, she warned herself, tucking the broom away in the closet, now tidy because it was empty.

“So what do we do now?” she asked, more to distract herself from wanting Travis’s body than because she was ready to do anything.

“We don’t do anything,” he said, straightening to kick the chair upright, then into recline, then upright again before facing her. “You stay here. I’m heading out to ask a few questions.”

Out? “Why?”

“Because answers probably aren’t going to saunter up to the door and hand themselves to me.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“No. You won’t.”

Lila scowled and grabbed herself a bottle of water. So much for being crazy about him.

“I’m not under your command, Mr. Badass SEAL. You don’t get to tell me what to do.”

“I’ve rescued you twice now, Blondie. And you said it yourself. Badass SEAL or Super SEAL. I’d say either one puts me in charge of this little situation we have here.
