Chapter 10

Sorting laundry with Rooster hadn’t lasted long. The first time Raven picked up Duncan’s T-shirt, Rooster had declared he could do it himself. He’d actually blushed. She’d made a huge chart on how to sort whites from dark and on water temperature, made sure he knew how to measure detergent. Then she’d gone to her room to call Blade Navarone. She paced as the phone rang, once, twice.

“Blade.”

“Good morning, Blade. Raven La Blanc. . . . I’ve run into a situation here. There’s a possibility of a mountain lion in the area of the cave. Duncan put it off-limits this morning.”

“As well he should have.”

Raven had expected the answer. “I’m aware of the expense you’ve already incurred, but I wondered if you were able to contact someone who could set up a perimeter around the cave to alert me if a large animal approached the mouth of the cave. I could work inside, and Duncan wouldn’t worry.”

“Have you discussed this with Duncan?” Blade asked

“No, I wanted to see if it was possible first,” she said, already knowing it was. A billionaire and powerful man like Blade had to have top-notch security. She’d learned a lot more then just self-defense from her brother, who was an Army Ranger.

“I wouldn’t like it if anyone made a security decision for my property without consulting me.”

Duncan wouldn’t, either. She’d accept the veiled reprimand if it would allay Duncan’s fears and get her back into the cave. “I’ll talk to him when he returns to the ranch house, but that might not be until late.”

“If you don’t mind, I’d rather talk to him. If he has any questions, I can answer them.”

She’d been pushed out of the loop. Men. She idly wondered if he tended to push his wife, Sierra, out of the loop. Probably not. Sierra wasn’t the kind of woman to be pushed, not even by the man she loved. “Of course. I’ll get his cell phone number and call you back.”

“I’ll look for your call.”

“Thank you, Blade. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Raven hung up the phone and headed downstairs to get the information from Rooster, hoping he wasn’t in the midst of sorting Duncan’s briefs. She paused on the stairs thinking maybe he wore boxers. Shaking her head, she continued. No, Duncan was definitely the briefs type.

If she and Duncan kept being at odds with each other, the chances of her ever finding out if she was right were slim to none.
