Chapter 7

“No. No. No. No. Dammit!” Kate swore as Logan rolled away from her.

“I’ll get rid of him,” Logan whispered in her ear.

She groaned and banged her fist into the mattress. Could Mack’s timing have been any worse? She needed Logan to take away the horror of losing the barn. Making love to him would have made her heart hurt a little less. It would have given her the strength she needed to finish repairing the house. And she wanted him in a hot-blooded, feral way that left her frustrated as hell.

She snorted a laugh.

“What?” Logan asked as he dressed.

“Tell him his timing sucks.”

“Hold that thought. I’ll be right back,” he said.

She slumped back into the rumpled sheets. As she waited for Logan to return, lack of sleep and the stress from the fire pulled her eyelids closed. She couldn’t let herself fall asleep. He’d be back to finish what he started in a minute. Just one more…

Hours later she woke to a cold bed.

“Logan?”

When she didn’t receive a response, she slipped out of bed. She pulled on a fresh pair of jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and socks, and then wandered through the house looking for Logan.

She’d made it to the living room when she heard banging coming from the front porch. She opened the door to find Logan hammering new boards into the floor.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“This porch is driving me nuts. I feel like I’m going to fall through it every time I walk on it.”

“You didn’t come back to bed,” she said.

“I got caught up in talking to Mack about the barn. By the time I got back to your room, you were sleeping and I didn’t want to wake you.” He looked up and wiped sweat from his forehead.

“Oh.” Disappointment curled around her belly, giving it an empty, hollow feeling. The passion that had sizzled between them was gone.

“We should pick through what’s left of the barn and see if we can salvage anything,” he said.

In that moment, she didn’t care about the barn. She wanted to reignite the fire between them, but she wasn’t sure if he really wanted her, or if he’d just been caught up in the moment when they’d been in the bathroom.

“Come on, hon.” He stood and took her hand.

Well at least he was still being affectionate.

As they stepped off the porch, she turned to look at where the barn had once stood. A pile of burnt rubble was all that remained of the structure. Her stomach dropped. In the darkness last night, it hadn’t looked so terrible. But now, as she surveyed the destruction, her heart ached.

“Don’t worry. My brothers are coming over later to help clean this up. I ordered a dumpster. We can start over and rebuild it better than it was,” Logan said.

She released his hand and leaned over to pick up a melted lock. She let it fall to the scorched earth. “What’s the point?”

“You can’t give up on this place,” Logan said.

“I never wanted the ranch to begin with.
