Undercover Daddy

He turned, frowned and walked toward her. Elaina automatically backed up to keep some distance between them, but he closed that distance.

Luke leaned in and practically put his mouth right against her ear. “First things first—how good is your security system?” he asked.

She’d anticipated that he might say a lot of things, but that wasn’t one of them. Though she should have anticipated it. Because after what’d just happened with those men, it was relevant.

“It’s an excellent system,” she explained. Elaina whispered, too, and then she inched back away from him. “I had it installed right after I moved here. It’s monitored through the sheriff’s office and covers all the windows and doors.”

“What about the backyard and those thick trees that divide your house from your neighbor’s property?”

That’d been her concern when she moved in, as well. The lots were huge, at least an acre each, so there was plenty of space in between the individual homes. “There are motion-activated lights that come on in the front and back porches if someone approaches at night.”

He nodded, and it seemed to be an approval. “Make sure the system is on at all times. A fellow agent will be adding some extra equipment in the wooded area. If someone trips the system, I’ll be alerted through my cell phone.”

That hiked up her blood pressure. “You think those men are going to get out of jail tomorrow?”

He whispered again and closed the already narrow space between them. “Not if I can help it. I just need you to be cautious.”

For some reason, that riled her. Maybe it was the comment. Or maybe it was the closeness. Elaina definitely didn’t like being close to Luke. It was too much of a reminder that he was a man.

A man that she was stupidly attracted to.

“Oh, I’m cautious all right,” Elaina insisted. “Remember, I didn’t move to Crystal Creek for the beautiful scenery. I moved here because those two men tried to run me off the road.”

Their gazes met and held.

For way too long.

Something happened. The air changed, maybe. The curl of heat returned. Her body seemed to suggest things that it should never have suggested. She warned her body to knock it off because it wasn’t going to get Luke Buchanan.
