paid?”
    The answer was on the tip of his tongue as he was lost in those eyes of hers, but luckily he bit it back in time.
    “Sorry for being such a bitch earlier.” Was her voice huskier? “As you’ve probably guessed, I haven’t quite assimilated to the area.”
    He could help her assimilate.
    She stood half naked with the counter behind her and him in front. If he placed his hands on the counter, she’d be caged within his arms.

    Eva dragged in a steadying breath hoping it would slow down the galloping of her heart. Nope. Didn’t even come close to calming her down. How did this backwoods bear of a man raise her blood pressure? Her eyes dipped to his naked chest. Hills and valleys of muscle had her eyes traveling lower and lower until she had to jerk her head up to break contact with all that hard, smooth, sun-baked skin.
    She was fascinated by the human body. One of the many reasons she’d gone into medicine, but Lynx’s body far impressed her over any other specimen that she’d yet to see. Maybe it was the Native Alaskan she could clearly see in him. He was bigger, features sharper, darker, more dangerous than other men she’d been around.
    Why hadn’t he put on a shirt? Was he messing with her? Did he know how long it had been since she’d had sex?
    Hell, she didn’t even know, just knew it had been a really, really long time. And good sex hadn’t happened in an even longer time. Knowing that Davis was gay explained a lot about their failings—his failings—in the bedroom.
    She bet Lynx could satisfy her in the bedroom.
    She licked her lips.
    Did he just groan?
    His eyes were focused on her mouth, so she licked her lips again. There was no mistaking the mix of growl and groan this time.
    Usually her surly attitude did a good job of keeping the male species at bay. She still hated men for the two who had broken her heart. Maybe she should do something about changing that?
    Her eyes connected with his and without thinking it through, she stretched up on her tippy toes and grabbed his face between her hands and kissed him.
    For a second, he stood frozen as her lips pressed against his, and then he growled, taking over the kiss and devouring her. His big beefy arms banded around her and lifted her off her toes. Her world tipped.
    Oh, baby.
    This was a bad idea. One of those really bad ideas that felt so good . Her hands dived into his thick, inky-black hair. Her legs naturally came up around his hips and cradled the impressive—somewhat worrisome—engorged member. Now it was her turn to groan. Her heart thundered in her ears, lights twinkled behind her closed lids. Oh yes! With him between her legs she wasn’t going to need a bedroom romp to satisfy her. She was going to come right here.
    “Uncle Lynx?”
    Lynx went rigid in her arms.
    Eva tightened her hold on him as he tried unlocking her legs from around his waist. “No, not yet.”
    “Eva,” he murmured, his voice peppered with pain. “My nephew.”
    “What?” Nephew ? She didn’t care about anything except the sensations slipping away from her at an alarming rate.
    Lynx carefully pried her off him and set her on her bare feet. She stood in the shadow of Lynx’s big body, his breathing ragged.
    “Uncle Lynx what are you doing to Ms. Stuart?” Fox Maiski stood off to the side behind Lynx in the doorway of the cabin, a Siberian Husky pup in his arms.
    “Uh...examining her?” Lynx clamped his eyes shut and whispered under his breath, “Shit, the kid is never going to fall for that.”
    “Why?” Fox asked. “Is she hurt? She doesn’t look hurt.”
    Oh, she was hurting all right.
    Eva took a long deep breath and held it in until spots started to show and then let it out in a rush. She needed to get dressed. By her estimate, Fox was like nine or ten. She was showing way too much skin for a boy of that age. Hell, any boy. Including the big boy in front of her. What was she thinking? Sure, nudity had never been a problem for her. She was a nurse practitioner and saw nude bodies all the time. But maybe not nude as in sexually aroused nude. Geez. She was going to hell.
    “Fox, why don’t you hang back a minute? Ms. Stuart and I need to finish—
    Boy, did they ever.
    —bandaging her stitches.”
    “‘Kay.” There seemed to be a smile in his tone though his face was stoic. “I’ll be outside on the deck.”
    After Fox exited, Eva leaned in, catching a whiff of forest and man that curled her toes. “Isn’t it
