Mads bought their tickets and they stepped into the park. A guy with a radio made a point of blocking their way. His shirt identified him as part of the rodeo’s security team. After a moment, he stepped aside. Hope looked up at Mads to see his take on that little show of force.

He grinned down at her. “It’s all good. He’s just letting us know whose park this is. We aren’t here for trouble, so don’t worry.”

She slipped her hand in his, then looked back to Lion. He was following a few steps back. He’d drawn the hood of his T-shirt up over his head. She couldn’t decide if he was trying to blend in or hide. Neither was working. It was a hot evening. And though it would cool down once the sun set, his hooded, long-sleeved T-shirt drew attention. As did his inked brows and hairless head. People looked at him with open fear or disgust.

Hope reached her hand out and slipped her arm through his. “I’m so happy to have this time with you.”

“Are you two hungry?” Mads asked.

“Starving!” Hope answered for her and Lion.

“Name your poison. Hot dogs, burgers, burritos, barbecue…”

Her brother didn’t ask for any of those things. She wondered if he’d ever had any of them. “Could we have one of each and share?”

Max smiled. “You got it. One rodeo feast coming right up.” He grabbed a couple of club members and sent them to wait in different lines while she and Lion picked a table.

She found them a table with a big umbrella, giving them a break from the heat. And offering Lion a bit of shade, which he seemed to prefer. “What do you usually eat for dinner?” she asked him as they waited.

“Whatever we can scavenge, fish, or hunt.”

Hope frowned. “No one feeds you?”

He looked at her. “Why should they when we can feed ourselves?”

The guys brought over a couple of trays loaded with different foods. They set them down, then took their items and went off to another table. No one wanted to be around her brother. Mad Dog brought another tray over and joined them.

“This is a feast, Mads.”

“As promised. Dig in, Lion. It’s a new experience for you.”

Hope opened different wrappers and cartons and made a plate for her brother. She filled her own plate and took a bite of a hot dog. She tried not to stare at Lion, but she was pleased when he sampled some of the burrito and liked it.

She looked at Mad Dog and smiled. His eyes held hers just a little too long. An unfamiliar warmth filled her from his hot gaze. She looked at her plate, realizing that strange feeling she was experiencing was a mash-up of contentment and desire.

She couldn’t look at Mads without thinking about last night, which she really, really wanted to repeat. And now, he was showing himself to be the kind of man she’d always dreamed of. Strong. Fearless. Thoughtful—very different from the man he’d first shown himself to be.
