Chapter Eleven

Blue was thankful for everything Woody had just told him, but he hoped they hadn’t gotten that information at a sky-high price—another attack.

“Set the security alarm,” he told Rayanne.

His gun was already drawn, and Blue locked up. He did the same to the front door, and then Rayanne and he raced upstairs to the guest room where he’d been staying.

There were still plenty of windows in the room, but he didn’t want her downstairs in case the thug tried to break in and started shooting. This way, the guy would have to make it up the stairs to have a chance of getting to her.

Blue would stop him before that happened.

“Stay down,” he warned her. “And call one of your brothers for backup.”

While Rayanne made the call, Blue hurried to the window that would give him the best vantage point to see if the assassin was coming after them. Well, it would if the guy came to the house and took a direct route to get there. It was possible that he’d try to sneak closer to the ranch house some other way.

“Colt’s already on the way. Arlene called him.” Rayanne sank down onto the floor, her back against the door. “Do you see Woody and the other man?”

“No. I don’t even see his car.” Of course, Woody had mentioned that he’d parked near some trees, so the vehicle could possibly be hidden.

“You believe everything Woody said?” Rayanne asked a moment later.

Blue had already given that some thought during their conversation. “I can’t think of a reason he’d lie...unless he’s the one trying to kill us.”

She made a sound of agreement. “He could have said those things about Caleb to make him look guilty. Of course, Caleb’s own behavior doesn’t help matters, since he’s not around to defend himself.”

No, it didn’t help, and that was even more reason for Blue to find Caleb and talk to him. However, he didn’t want to do that by putting Rayanne at further risk.

While he kept watch, he tried to force the memories to come. And some did. Fragments of his conversations with Woody. Some images of him leaving Rayanne asleep in bed after they’d made love. Even a few bits and pieces of him going after those men who’d planned to kidnap and kill Rayanne and him.

Nothing in those fragments led him to believe the man was lying.

“You faked your death to save me,” Rayanne said almost in a whisper. “I need to thank you for that.”

She still didn’t sound pleased that he’d taken such measures to protect her, but Blue wasn’t about to apologize for it. It’d kept her alive.

The baby, too.

And because he’d done such a good job of faking his death, it had prompted Woody to use an identity that had ultimately gotten the wrong person’s attention.

But who was the wrong person?

“I’m remembering some stuff,” he told her.

Rayanne stayed quiet a moment. “Stuff about us?”

“Some.”

“Some?” she repeated in a mumble, and then added a little hmmp sound. “You’ve been on the run for nearly five months, and it’s possible you’ve gotten involved with someone else.
