CHAPTER SEVEN MARTINA

Three days after the date from hell, I came out of my room. The house had been buzzing with activity since Sybil was dealing with a pretty terrible case where a foster child needed to be removed from his home because of alleged abusive behavior by the parent there. She was excellent at her job, and I didn’t doubt her for a second.

Nova was busy working with whatever secret government project they had her doing, and she’d hardly been home except to give me the results of my blood test. I was too sick at heart to even open them, but since she didn’t demand it I knew they were fine.

Noise from the kitchen caught my attention, and I walked inside, not sure what I expected to see. Whatever it was, it surely wasn’t that. Erryn and Davian were frowning as they typed numbers into a laptop. They didn’t even look up when I came in, which was weird. But even stranger was the pair of long legs sticking out from beneath the sink.

“Got it,” a familiar voice said. “One more second,” he grunted.

“Mmm.”

Erryn grunted her reply. Davian said nothing, still busy tapping away at the keyboard. I stood there, waiting for someone to say anything, but no one did. Finally, the stranger slid out from under the sink, and I was greeted by a shocked gasp from a blond-haired, blue-eyed, slender giant of a man.

“Well, good morning, Martina,” the man said, walking over to give me a quick, hard hug.

“Who—oh my God! Tim? Is that you?” I asked, startled but eventually hugging him back.

“It sure is. Want coffee?” he asked, as if this was his house and not mine.

I came out of my stupor and went to grab cream and sugar. I had to move Erryn’s arm, and she growled, as she sometimes did whenever she and Davi were working on something that required all their focus.

“Oh, don’t mind them. She gets a bit snappy when focused,” he told me, as if I didn’t know. “Our accounting program went wonky again, and I came over so they could troubleshoot it. While they were fixing that, I figured I could do something for them, and what do you know, garbage disposal was broken,” he explained.

I admit I was shocked as hell to see the boy I once had a crush on, not to mention he was the brother of the man I ran out on a few nights ago, in the middle of my kitchen. Tim sure was pretty. He wasn’t as big, muscular, or devastatingly handsome as Mitch, but you could tell he was related.

“I see. Um, well, did you fix it?”

“Oh yeah. This was stuck,” he said and picked up the half-bent spoon he’d retrieved from the disposal unit.

“Hmm. That was probably Sybil,” I murmured. “She’s always in a rush and doesn’t always pay attention. You know the type, big heart, but not big on details.”

“Sweetheart, I have a man at home just like that,” he said, and my interest piqued.
