It was something to think about on the long, quiet ride back to the ranch.

* * *

The afternoon sun slanted across the barns and paddock below. Rising from behind a granite boulder, his favorite spot deep in the aspen grove on the hill above the ranch, he looked down on the scene below. He’d parked some distance down the dirt road, then hiked to the spot.

When he’d arrived, Logan’s big dual-wheeled Ford was nowhere in sight. Now, as he looked through the binoculars, he spotted the truck rolling through the tall timber gate, grinding on up the road, then coming to a stop behind the house.

Ellie got out and rounded the vehicle, heading for the kitchen door. She was wearing dark blue stretch jeans that drew a man’s attention to her sexy ass, carrying her jacket, which gave him a solid look at the full breasts moving beneath her sweater.

His dick stirred as he imagined the way he planned to use her. She wouldn’t willingly give him what he wanted, but the thought of taking her while she fought him turned his arousal rock hard.

Since the day six weeks ago when the dark green Subaru had been found in the lake where he had hidden it, he’d been haunted by nightmares. Driven by memories of the beautiful woman he had loved to the depths of his soul, the deceitful bitch who had betrayed him.

Even now, memories of how it had felt to wrap his hands around her slender throat and end her pathetic life filled him with satisfaction.

Heather had loved him, she’d said. But when the time came for her to leave her bastard husband so they could make a life together, she’d faltered. She’d been pathetically weak where Logan was concerned, too spineless to stand up for herself. To stand up for him. She’d decided instead to beg her husband’s forgiveness, try to make her marriage work.

Even now it sickened him to think of it.

Heather had deserved to die, and he didn’t regret it.

Every time he thought of Kade Logan, the fire inside erupted again, scorching through his veins like a blaze flashing out of control. He wanted Logan’s woman. He wanted to feel that power surging through him as it had before.

He took a last look at the ranch house. As he blended into the trees and started back the way he had come, the plan in his head expanded.

And the flames burned hotter.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

NIGHT SURROUNDED THE RANCH HOUSE. STRETCHED OUT IN HIS big, king-size bed, Kade stirred at the sound of men’s voices coming from outside, growing louder as the hands streamed out of the bunkhouse. The glowing hands of the digital clock read three a.m.
