Chapter 7

It had taken him until late afternoon, but Ty finally had the radiators working in almost every room of the house—a major victory. Jordan had made good use of the cleaning supplies they’d picked up earlier. She’d scrubbed the kitchen and bathrooms spotless. They had food, hot water, heat.

And a bed.

Personally, he could have been happy never leaving the old house again. Yet he wondered if Jordan would ever be content there. After searching all the rooms without finding her, he decided to check outside. He had a hunch where she’d be.

Her boot tracks led into the woods and through the trees. He finally found her sitting on top of a large boulder next to the lake.

From the start, he’d been struck by Jordan’s combination of breathtaking beauty and strength. He remembered the first time he’d caught sight of her—the way the air had jammed in his lungs and his gut had tightened. The same mystifying jab just nailed him again. Would he ever get used to it?

Her long legs were drawn up almost to her chin, and her arms were wrapped around them. Stunning blond hair moved in the breeze as wind rolled off the water. She looked peaceful here. His heart gave a few hard, relieved knocks while he took in the content picture she made. But under the softness, there’d be a gun stashed somewhere on her body. And likely a knife, too. He found the extremes of her personality fascinating. And extremely hot.

He ducked back into the woods and circled around, approaching with the utmost stealth from behind.

“Trying to sneak up on a cop is a damned good way to get a bullet in your head.” She looked over her shoulder. “Or in another part of your anatomy I know you value even more than your brain.” Her gaze dropped to the zipper of his jeans.

He winced. “Yeah, I suppose if you’re going to take me out, I would choose my head over, you know, my other head.”

She laughed. “No doubt in my mind.”

He crawled on top of the rock and scooted behind her, putting his arms around her waist. “It’s pretty here, huh?” He sat silently for a couple minutes, gazing out over the lake. It was a perfect spot. “Are those the man-eating ducks from yesterday you were telling me about?”

“Yes,” she said defensively. “They’re a lot more vicious when they’re hungry.”

“Un-huh. I’ll just bet. Especially the two adults. Or was it the little guys that scared you the most?”

“Fine. You come out here with no peace offering around dinner time, and I bet the neighbor lady will have to rescue you, too.”

Ty chuckled. “I’d have loved to have seen that. Even better, I’d love to have a video of it.”

“You’re kind of a big dick sometimes.”

“Just because I have a big—”

She whipped a boney elbow into his gut. “You’re ruining my peace and quiet.”

He moved her hair to one side and ran his tongue up her neck, then nibbled on her ear. When he teased her there, she tended to melt against him.
