tomorrow,” she said to Becca and Emma then strode out the door.

    Wyatt swore under his breath as she strode past him with her
head held high. His gaze shifted to his sisters-in-law to see them glaring at
him. He stared at them, waiting for the lecture he was sure was coming. Becca
stood and narrowed her eyes at him.
    “That, Wyatt Stone, was totally uncalled for.”
    “I’m just telling it like it is.”
    Becca laughed. “You’re such a bad liar.” She sat back down
and ordered another drink.
    “You’re not driving, are you?” Wyatt asked her, feeling
protective of the two women.
    Becca shook her head. “Nope. Emma
is. She’s only drinking Coke.”
    Wyatt swore under his breath. Pissing off either Becca or
Emma was not a good idea. His brothers would gang up on him if they learned of
it. He smirked as he realized they’d have to gang up on him since he could kick
their asses separately and they knew it. Wyatt was a Marine, and a badass
sniper, the best in his unit. It didn’t matter that he’d been out of the Corp
for seven years. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
    “Good. I don’t want to have to bail you out of jail.”
    “Go away, Wyatt. I’m pissed at you right now…and take Jerry
with you.” Becca waved her hand at him dismissively.
    Wyatt frowned when he realized he was still holding onto
Jerry’s collar. He unclenched his fist from the man’s shirt. Jerry turned and
took a swing at him. Wyatt ducked but Jerry clipped his jaw, sending him
backwards. Jerry pounced on him. Well,
here’s the fucking fight you were looking for. Wyatt pulled his fist back
to punch Jerry, but a strong grip locked onto his arm. He spun around to see
Clifton’s Sheriff, Sam Garrett. Sam was staring at him.
    “I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Wyatt. Don’t make me run
you in.”
    Wyatt raised his eyebrows. “Run me in? He started it.”
    “He’s also so damn drunk he can barely stay on his feet,”
Sam said.
    Wyatt nodded and Sam released his arm. “I’m leaving anyway.
I was just trying to get Jerry to leave them alone.”
    “I’ve been here making rounds and I was watching him. Liv
was handling it. If it had gotten out of hand, I was going to intervene.”
    Wyatt put his fingers to the brim of his hat, nodded to
Becca and Emma, then headed out the door. Outside, it had stopped raining and
he took a deep breath of the late September air. Soon, fall would move in and
he knew snow wouldn’t be far behind. His eyes roamed the parking lot, and he
swore aloud when he saw Olivia sitting on a bench across the street. He headed
over toward her and halted in front of her. His breath whooshed out when she
raised those gorgeous eyes at him.
    “Why do you hate me?” she asked sadly.
    “I don’t hate you, Olivia.”
    She snorted. “Well, you sure have a weird way of showing me
you like me, cowboy.”
    He sat down beside her. “I’m not looking for a relationship,
Olivia. I’ve been there and I had my heart torn apart. I sure as hell don’t
want to go through it again.”
    “You think you’re the only person who’s ever had their heart
broken? I found my fiancé screwing my college roommate.” She sighed.
    “I know I’m not but I’m not going through that again,” he
grumbled.
    “I’ve made it pretty clear how I feel,” Olivia whispered.
    Wyatt laughed. “Hell, Olivia. You’ve done everything but lie
down and spread your legs for me.”
    Olivia abruptly stood. “That was a little crude, even for
me,” she said. “Well, you can bet your ass it will never happen now, cowboy.”
She marched off across the street.
    Wyatt watched her cross the street and only after a slight
hesitation, he ran after her and grasped her arm, spun her around to face him
and pushed her back against a truck.
    “You just don’t get it do you?” he said through clenched
teeth.
    “Let go of me.” Olivia jerked away from him, pushing at his
chest. Wyatt stepped back and glared at her. He swore under his
