Excerpt
Martin placed a hand on his arm.
“Listen to me, Declan McBride. I’ve known you since you were in diapers. Hell,
longer than that. I knew your parents, you and my boy were brothers and when
you lost your parents and I lost my son, we became family. You never brought
that woman you married out here and I have never seen the emotions on your face
like I do when I see you interacting with this Caro. From what you said about
her before, I expected nothing but hatred between the two of you. What I see
isn’t hate. It’s passion. Whatever that fine line between love and hate, the
two of you are teetering on falling into the side you claim you don’t want.”
Declan grabbed most of the
bags. “My wife wouldn’t set foot here. I asked her once to go with me on a trip
and she threw a fit that it wasn’t going to be in a city. I never mentioned
this place to her. No one knows about it, which is why I figured it would be
safe for me to bring…Caro here.”
Martin took the remaining bags.
“So this is all about your job.”
Even a deaf man would have
picked up on the disbelief in Martin’s tone. Declan shut the vehicle door.
“Yes.”
“And had I not come when I did,
where would you be right now?”
He blinked. Naked with Caro.
“Inside.” Inside her.
“I’m guessing you’d be in a
room learning what it was like to live again and be with a woman.” He chuckled.
“I may be old, Declan, but I’m still a man and one who recognizes passion
between two people. There was so much heat in your eyes when you faced me. I
know where that was leading.” He grinned. “There are some condoms in the bags
as well.”
“Condoms? You brought me
condoms?” Christ why was it so hard to find his breath?
“Sure thing. Took them from the
back so no one in town would know. You know business isn’t all that private
around here.” Martin gazed around. “I know, I know. You’re just protecting her.
If both of you want it, why are you denying yourselves?”
“It’s not proper.”
“Son, there was a time when you
and her in a house together period wouldn’t be proper, not even with her
sleeping in a room of her own. Times change. And I like her for you.”
