Per usual, Luciana had taken over his kitchen, unloading groceries he hadn’t asked her to buy and stuffing homemade enchiladas in the fridge that he hadn’t asked her to make. Ever since he’d gotten out of the hospital, she’d made these weekly trips out to the cabin like he couldn’t fend for himself when she knew damn well he could microwave like nobody’s business.

“Would it kill you to buy some fresh fruit instead of stocking up on protein drinks and frozen food?” Luciana shut the refrigerator door with a disgusted snort. “So what did His Highness want?”

“The usual.” If being a pain in the butt counted as the usual, which, with Tyrell Hawson, it did.

“You have a ‘usual’ with the mayor?” Olivia plopped one last fresh flower into the vase she’d brought with her from the car and stood back to admire the totally unnecessary colorful bouquet taking up residence on the oversized island in his otherwise stark, mostly stainless-steel kitchen.

She glanced up at him with a satisfied smile on her face that knocked the air out of his lungs. It was the kind of look that had made men throughout history start wars and conquer new territory just to impress a woman. Some men, but not him. He didn’t have room in his life for grocery-store flowers and women so beautiful it made his scars ache—no matter how good she felt in his arms or just how badly he wanted to touch her every damn time he saw her.

Clamping his teeth together, he shoved the wisp of possibility out of his mind and turned on his heel, nearly going down in a heap because of the constantly underfoot dog.

“So what’s with the mutt?” The canine’s tail thumped against his calf. “I thought he was getting adopted today.”

Luciana shrugged. “Ellen from The Kitchen Sink came by with a box of puppies. You know those cuties were going to go first.”

She immediately turned and squashed the plastic grocery bags into a ball and stuffed them in the recycling bin she’d brought on a previous visit. But Mateo wasn’t fooled. He knew how his sister worked. If he didn’t act quick, he was going to end up with the furry mutt forever.

“That doesn’t answer my question. Why is the dog here?”

“He sure does like you.” Olivia circled around the island and squatted down near his feet, nuzzling her cheek against the dog’s scruff.

Just the brush of Olivia’s bare shoulder against his hip sent his thoughts veering away from the problem at hand and to the feel of her silky skin faster than a Hellfire missile.

Get a grip, Garcia. He took a step back. The dog followed, but Olivia—thankfully—did not. He looked up at the custom tin ceiling and shoved his hands deep into his shorts pockets to keep from reaching out for her. When he dropped his gaze, his sister was looking right at him with a knowing smirk on her face that made his scar itch.

His sister had many faults, but being unobservant wasn’t one of them.
