Chapter Twelve

Lee walked into the house, covered in dirt, sweat, and who knew what else. He’d fed the llamas, stupid things. He had lama spit on him, he knew it. Damn bastard. He’d win him over yet. Baxter trotted along beside him. He should probably bathe the dog at some point. He really should.

Woman thought she knew something about anything. In her case, granted, she knew a lot. He’d forgotten she’d grown up on a ranch, and damned if she didn’t want to help him. Help him with anything. Reloading ammo. Cleaning the house. Mucking out the horse stalls. Hell, baby-talking to his Clydesdales.

She even had the llamas eating out of her hands and not spitting on her. Bastards always spit on him, but not on her.

Noooo. If he got out a rifle, she’d probably want to help him clean it.

Not that he didn’t admire her knowledge or drive to learn.

He wasn’t used to always having someone around. There was the room above the barn, fully furnished, that had garnered a lot of questions from Rainy. Why were there two bedrooms furnished and a box of toys, kid’s books? Did he have kids? Did he have...

He only told her no. If she stayed, that’d be one thing. She wasn’t the first woman to show up on his doorstep, but she was the first to end up in his bed.

He didn’t like it that some women had no place to turn, no place to go, no one to help them get away. So when he got certain calls, he let them come stay a few days, or weeks. If someone, anyone—other than an escaped convict—needed a safe place, he was fine with it and more than happy to help someone out. For a few days, anyway, and not up in his house. That, he couldn’t stand. His place was his place. The barn was another matter.

He shook his head at their conversation, which sent him back into the house.

“I could move out here.”

“No,” he’d told her. He wanted her close so he knew she was safe.

“But I don’t want to impose on you.”

“I’d tell you if you were imposing.”

Then she’d huffed, tried a few other angles. He didn’t know if she was staying, and, not that he didn’t trust her, but she didn’t need to know about the others he let stay out there. Not yet. Not that he was worried she’d tell anyone, but it wasn’t his life he would be placing in her hands, but other’s.

He’d left her feeding the dumbass llamas. He walked down the hallway and thought about a shower.

Yeah, maybe then he’d get his head screwed on straight. Not out with her, in her tight-ass jeans and tight long-sleeved T-shirt. She’d borrowed his flannel shirt to toss on over the top and had rolled the sleeves up several times. Looked like she was wearing a smock.

He glanced out the window to see if he could see her. She was walking back toward the house, mumbling to herself.
