Chapter Eleven

Logan Lamont approached the MacAllisters’ cottage, took a deep breath, and knocked. He had no idea why Emma had asked him to come over—she'd refused to say by text—but he seemed to look for ways to torture himself. And so he'd said yes, even though he should be at home studying.

Although if all she wanted was help with her bloody geocaching adventures again, he was going to say no this time and go home. There was no way he'd stick around to watch her flirt with other males like last time.

His dragon spoke up. If you'd stop pining for her and do something about it, everything would be fine.

I doubt it. I tried that years ago, and it didn't work. She laughed at us, if you remember, aye? She thought it was all a lark.

But you never kissed her before. That might do it.

Logan wasn't so sure. Especially since he well knew that Emma wasn't his true mate.

He'd been halfway in love with her for years, drawn to her ability to say what she meant, laugh at herself, and secretly have a huge heart for anyone who needed help.

Not that she'd admit it, and most people didn't notice her kindness, but not long ago he'd learned of her help with some of the older clan members. Simple things like shopping, or gossiping, or just stopping round to see if anything needed doing in their houses.

Why she did it all secretly, he had no bloody idea. She hadn't even told him. No, he'd only found out about her secret volunteer work when visiting his great-aunt. She'd let it slip about how Emma MacAllister had been by again, with a new basket of shortbread, like she did every week. A little prying had revealed that the female often stopped by the elder clan members during her lunch break, but she always asked them to keep it secret. Great-Aunt Mary had said Logan was family, so surely it didn't break her promise to tell him.

But the revelation had only made him want Emma all the more.

He'd debated asking Emma about her actions in person, but the next time he'd seen her, she'd instantly blurted about some sort of treasure hunt. Even though he had studies to do—Logan was training to be a fully-fledged doctor—he'd accompanied her and the MacKay brothers on her latest little treasure-hunting adventure.

Well, not for real treasure, but apparently people around the world set up "finds" and clues via a process called geocaching. And during the excursion, he'd seen firsthand how she'd flirted with both of the Seahaven lads.

Never with Logan, however. He'd been there in case someone was injured, nothing more.

He should've said no, but he couldn't bear the thought of Emma getting hurt with no one to help her properly. Impulsive may as well be her middle name when it came to her treasure hunts.

The door opened, bringing him back to the present and revealing Emma holding her baby sister in her arms. The sight of Emma with a bairn in her arms did things to him that Logan would rather not think about.
