“WHERE DO YOU LIVE?” EDEN asked from the passenger seat as they were leaving the base. “An apartment? Condo?”

“I bought a house last year. It’s a good investment and I like being in my own space at the end of the day.” What was it about her that she was so damn easy to be with in one respect but so damn hard to be with in another. Because his normal routine was totally shot to hell when he was around her. The smart thing to do would be not to be around her at the end of the day but once again, smart didn’t seem to be an option for him. Damn it all, he couldn’t stay away from her. He’d never met a woman like her. He reassured himself that this fascination would end soon enough. She’d go her way, he’d go his and they’d have some damn hot memories. He’d never met a woman who affected him the way she did and he was equally sure he’d never meet another. Eden Walters was a once-in-a-lifetime experience—one that would be out of his life in a couple of days. That made her safe—even if she was Brigadier General Max Walters’s daughter. Hell, she was no more eager to reveal their relationship to her parents than he was.She looked at him in surprise. “You just don’t strike me as the suburban type.”

Mitch grinned. It was a nice change to be the one surprising her. “I happen to like yard work. I can mow with the best of them.”

She laughed. He liked to hear her laugh. And it was better still when he was the one who caused it. “Now, that I’d like to see. Mercury behind a lawn mower.”

Mitch rolled his eyes at the whole Mercury thing, but he had to admit, it was pretty flattering stuff to have a woman—correction, this woman—compare him to a Roman god.

“Well, I’m not going to break out the mower but we could swing by my house later. That is, if you want to.” Where the hell had that come from? It wasn’t because he wanted her to see his house.

“I’m a woman and I’m eternally curious. Of course, I want to.”

That was yet another thing he liked about her. He dealt with layers all day. Although things seemed straightforward in the military there were always strategies and some measure of subterfuge involved. As far as he could tell, that wasn’t the case with this woman. If she thought it, she said it. If she wanted it, she asked. No games. No pretense. Hell, he almost worried about how vulnerable that left her. Didn’t she know how dangerous it was to leave herself so open? She brought out protective instincts he didn’t even know he possessed. He wanted to caution her, but he was pretty sure it would fall on deaf ears. Besides, it was such a refreshing change to the world he lived in that it would be a shame to mess with it.
