Liam hasn’t bothered to fix it. It’s our little secret.

My hands roam freely over his back, and he doesn’t even flinch anymore. The trust that’s grown between us in the past week is truly wonderful. He’s been more open, more vulnerable, and it’s touched me deep in my heart.

Liam isn’t just sexy. He’s also a good man, through and through.

His lips graze my jawline, and his hand drifts farther down my stomach to glide over my shorts. To my utter surprise, he pushes a finger under the hemline and right to my hot center.

“Oh, my,” I breathe, my hips moving, inviting his finger to slip inside of me. “Liam.”

“God, you’re sweet,” he growls, but his head pops up as if he’s listening.

And then I hear it, too.

“Shit,” Liam mutters, jumping away from me and sitting a good five feet back.

I straighten my clothes and smooth my hair. When I glance over to where the footsteps are getting louder, I feel the smile spread over my face.

“Callum!”

I jump up and run to give my older brother a hug. He holds me close and then frowns down at me when I pull away. His gaze shifts to Liam and then moves back to me.

“What’s going on here?”

“Nothing.” I shake my head. “What are you doing here? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

“Well, then it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?”

I whip around to Liam. “Did you know?”

“Of course,” he says with a satisfied smile. “My security spoke with his team yesterday.”

“It was a plot against me.” I grin at both men. “I’m so happy to see you. I didn’t realize how homesick I was until I saw you.”

“I’m happy to be here,” Callum replies. “Have you enjoyed relaxing the way you hoped?”

“It’s been wonderful,” I assure him.

“I’m going to check on a few things at HQ,” Liam says, leaving Callum and me alone on the dock. We settle onto the sofa, and I find myself chattering on like mad.

“How are Mum and Father? And everyone else?”

“They’re doing well,” he replies. “You haven’t been gone that long.”

So much has happened since I left London, it feels like I’ve been in Montana for months.

“And what have you been up to?”

Callum smiles. “I was in Paris for a couple of weeks, and then Scotland. I was supposed to go back to London, but you were on my mind, so I decided to take a little side journey.”

“Yes, because Montana is on the way to London.” I roll my eyes but offer him a grateful smile. “I’m so glad you came.”

“I am, as well. Now, what did I really interrupt when I found you?”

I frown as if I don’t know what in the world he might be talking about. “Absolutely nothing. Really. Liam was just filling me in on some things, and it’s a nice day, so we decided to have our meeting out here by the water.”

He watches me silently, chewing on his lower lip.

“You’re being silly,” I continue, waving him off. “There wasn’t anything going on.”

“If you say so. I ran into Beau a few days ago.”

I scowl. “What did he want?”

“He was asking after you, wondering if you’re okay.”

“I’m perfectly wonderful, not that it’s any of his business. Beau is a boring, overbearing, pompous ass, and if I never see him again, it’ll be too soon. He had the nerve to send me lacy knickers.”

Callum cringes. “I’m sorry about that. It’s my fault. I didn’t know you’d broken things off with him, and he rang me up and asked where you were.”

“He texted me from several different numbers, I’m sure just in case I’d blocked him. He’s not normal.” I murmur. “Beau’s not a nice man, Callum. I can’t believe he’s your friend.”

“I never said that.” He holds up a hand. “He’s an acquaintance, and because he was interested in you, I was kind to him. I don’t know him well at all.”

“Don’t bother getting to know him,” I reply and watch as Callum yawns. “You look like you have jet lag something awful.”

“I believe I’ve been awake for nearly thirty hours or so. I lost count.”

“Well, you can’t go to sleep now, or you’ll be knackered tomorrow. We should go get you some coffee. Drips & Sips is my favorite place in town.”

“I usually drink tea, but I could use a coffee or two.” He smiles at me. “Look at you, fitting in like a local citizen.”

“I love it here,” I reply honestly. It’s the truth. I do love Cunningham Falls, especially my little flat above the boathouse.

I love being with Liam the most, but I’m not ready to share that with my brother quite yet. I like having Liam all to myself.

“I’m on board then,” Callum says. “Show me this wonderful café of yours.”

“The weather has been incredible,” I say to my brother as Liam and David, Callum’s personal security guard, drive us into town for our coffee. “It’s rather warm during the day, but it cools down nicely in the evening. And there aren’t many bugs to speak of.”
