The look on Sam’s face told Bridget everything she needed to know. He understood exactly what she was talking about. “Well?”

He leaned back against the shelves and rested his forearms on his bent knees. “What’s there to talk about?”

“Are you kidding? Can you just turn it on and off like that? Or were you faking all that flirting? And don’t try to say you weren’t flirting because you almost kissed me at least three times.”

He blew out a breath. “I did not.”

She slanted her eyes at him. “Uh, yes, you did.”

He shook his head and looked away.

“What happened? You hook up with some badge bunny at the fire academy?”

“No.”

“Did the age difference finally sink in?”

“What age difference?”

She lifted one shoulder. “I’m three years older than you.”

“How do you know how old I am?”

“I asked your sister.”

So she’d talked to Ivy about him. That was interesting. “I had no idea.”

“Well, what then?”

“I don’t want to have this conversation.”

“You’re the one who told me how boring it would be to freeze to death in silence.”

“We’re not going to freeze to death.”

She shivered. “I might.”

He patted the spot next to him. “Come sit by me. I’ll keep you warm.”

Yeah, she bet he would. The last thing her wolfy hormones needed was to be wrapped in Sam’s arms. Was the man trying to get himself bitten? “Thanks, but I’m not that cold.”

“Suit yourself.”

“Don’t think you’re changing the topic either. I want to know what happened between when you arrived in town and when you came back from the academy. You did like me, didn’t you?”

He sighed. “Yes. I still do. You’re very nice.”

She pursed her lips. “You know what I mean.”

He put his head down and stayed quiet for a long moment. When he spoke, his voice was low and husky and edged with something that sounded very much like need. “Bridget, I do like you. But you and me together is a bad idea. One that can’t happen.”

The timbre of his voice scraped over her skin, raising goose bumps and a few bad ideas of her own. Telling her she couldn’t do something only made her want to do it that much more. “And why is that?”

He looked up at her, eyes alight with the glow of his beast. “You know why.”

“No, I don’t. Tell me. And don’t bring up the Kincaid thing again. We’ve already established you’re a Kincaid in rehab. That excuse is no longer valid.”

He sighed. “Your brother is my boss. And your other brother is the sheriff. Both of them made it clear very early on that you were off-limits.”

“And yet Titus made sure that you and I were together tonight.”

Sam laughed. “You needed a truck. I had one. I don’t think the chief is responsible for that case of champagne needing to be delivered. And if you didn’t drive that impractical car, you wouldn’t have needed a truck in the first place.”

She narrowed her gaze. “So now my car is silly?”

“I didn’t say that. Your car is… an
