moment’s notice.”
    Again, something flittered in his eyes, and he glanced away. When his gaze returned to her, whatever she’d seen was gone.
    “Know this, Dani. Wherever you are and whenever you need me, I will always come to you.”
    That had the sound of some sort of lifetime commitment and made her a little uneasy. Unsure how to respond, she just said, “Good, because I’m not leaving.”

    Logan was in hell. Holding Dani’s soft body against his and breathing in her scent was killing him. He told himself he was only offering her comfort and friendship. Right. And the Taliban was nothing more than a bunch of choirboys being naughty.
    Arousal stirred in his jeans, and he stepped away, putting a safe distance between them. “All right. If I let you stay, you have to promise you’ll obey me. If I tell you to do something, you do it. If I tell you not to do something, you don’t. And you don’t think about it either. If I give you a command, you don’t ask questions, you don’t take your time getting around to it, understand?”
    Her eyes narrowed. If she could shoot fire at him from those Irish eyes, she likely would. It didn’t reassure him that she would follow his orders without question, but, so help him God, she set his blood ablaze. Not good, Kincaid, not good at all .
    “I don’t blindly follow orders, but if I think they’re appropriate for the situation—”
    She didn’t get it. If a soldier didn’t obey his commander’s directives during battle, he likely got sent home in a body bag. Logan swallowed hard. He already lived with the guilt of Evan’s death. He wouldn’t survive hers.
    Not letting her finish, he moved into her space and glared down at her. “There are no buts. You have two choices. You give me your word you’ll do what I say, when I say it, or you and Regan go to my house until this is over. Which will it be?”
    Their faces were inches apart, and puffs of her warm breath wafted across his chin. Jesus, Joseph, and Mary, he had never wanted a woman like he wanted her this minute. What he wouldn’t give to explore the heat and passion flaring in her eyes, and then when his fire was doused, he would explore the gentle side of her. The one he had seen sitting in a rocking chair and looking down at her nursing daughter with eyes full of love.
    If he allowed it to happen, he wouldn’t be breaking his personal vow, but he would dishonor his love and respect for Evan. That he would not do, no matter the temptation. Early in his life, he’d learned self-control, his SEAL training only made his willpower stronger. He could and would ignore his desires, was long used to doing so.
    “You’re not the boss of me.” The stubborn lines of her mouth dissolved into a wide smile, and her eyes sparkled with merriment. “I just sounded like a six-year-old, didn’t I?”
    “That old? I was thinking more like three.”
    “No, that’s the tantrum age, and trust me, you really don’t want me throwing a tantrum. No one does it better than me.” She walked away, stopping at the entrance to the hallway. “You have my word, tough guy. Whatever you say, no questions asked. I don’t promise not to make faces at you, however.” She stuck her thumbs in her ears, wriggled her fingers, crossed her eyes, and stuck out her tongue.
    Logan grinned at her retreating back. This was the Dani he missed. When she was dating Evan, the three of them sometimes hung out together, and her love of life and humor had captivated him. There had been times when they’d invited him along and he had declined, not able to bear seeing her hand in Evan’s or witnessing the quick kisses they often shared.
    The devil whispered in his ear that Evan was gone, and there was nothing stopping him now from claiming her as his. He could be the one holding her hand and leaving kisses on all the places of her body he’d fantasized about.
    Burying his traitorous thoughts down deep where they belonged, he picked up his leather
