change the wide-eyed Roz slid onto the bar in front of her. She mentally calculated the tip, tripled it, and left the money on the bar top. She turned back to see Gage’s glowing green eyes had focused completely on her.
    Mikayla took her cane in her hand and swiveled her chair so she slid from her seat and moved around his large body in one fluid move. Gage turned with her, keeping the left side of his face hidden. Mikayla smiled warmly at Katie and Roz. “See you later. Thanks for the good eats and the company.”
    “Anytime,” Roz said, her voice filled with amusement.
    “See you soon!” Katie said.
    Mikayla began walking toward the entrance when she felt Gage move to her left, easily pacing her. “Do you need a ride?”
    “Nope. My car is right outside.”
    “Then I’ll walk you to your car.”
    She let out a small chuckle. “I think I remember where I parked just fine without you.”
    Mikayla watched as a small smile spread across his lips and a dimple appeared on his cheek. Damn, that little indent made her want to lick it. It really wasn’t fair that he looked even better when he smiled.
    “I’m sure you do. I’ll walk you out anyways.”
    As they approached the front door, a pretty blonde popped up from her chair and hurried over. “Gage,” the blonde whispered breathlessly. “You’re not leaving already, are you? I was hoping we could—”
    “Not now, Chrissy.”
    The blonde’s smile fell and her lips twisted as she glared at Mikayla. She ignored the blonde and kept walking toward the door, her hand reaching out for the handle when Gage’s large hand covered hers. He leaned in, his hot breath sending a shiver down her spine as he whispered into her ear.
    “A woman doesn’t open doors when she’s with me.”
    Mikayla turned her head slowly so their lips were a breath apart from each other. “Good thing I’m not with you then, isn’t it?” She jerked the door open, welcoming the blast of cold air as it hit her face, cooling the lust burning in her belly.
    Gage followed her outside into the parking lot, walking beside her silently as she made her way to the large SUV. She hit the button on the key fob to open the doors and turned to face him, noting that he kept his body turned away from her to minimize her view of his scarred face.
    He really was sinfully good looking. Playing around with this man was not a good idea, even if her libido told her differently. Roz had given her the warning for a reason, and until she knew more she would not be getting any closer to this man. She saw the lust burning in his eyes, but there was something else there that made her wary. Still, curiosity had her asking, “Why exactly are you out here with me?”
    “There has been some trouble in this area. Haven’t you heard about it?”
    Her interest was sparked. She leaned against the side of the SUV and cocked her head to the side. “What trouble?”
    “Some women have gone missing in the neighboring towns and in Denver. You shouldn’t be out alone at night. It’s dangerous and you’re injured. Should you even be out? You could slip on the ice or something.”
    Mikayla smiled. “Don’t worry. I can take care of myself.” She opened the car door and turned back when he spoke.
    “Why did you say that inside, about my sister?”
    Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you kidding?”
    “No,” he said through gritted teeth. She couldn’t tell it if was due to anger or the cold. Either way, the question was ridiculous. She sighed.
    Were some men seriously that clueless?
    “You were completely disrespectful to her. I figured someone should call you out on it.”
    Gage took a step forward, crowding her with his large body. A white cloud swirled out as he released a harsh breath into the night air. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. I love my sister,” he growled in anger.
    “You may love her, but you don’t respect her very much. You ordered her home after she took your dog to the vet
