There’s a reason you have
the thing.”
    “I’m well aware.” She almost called him by name,
something she had avoided for over a year. It was silly, but Drew stuck
in her throat.
    “Do you mind?” M.J.‘s whine broke the silent
messages she and Drew passed with their eyes.
    “What are you doing here, M.J.?”
    “I need an excuse to visit my sister?”
    “He was trying to jimmy the back door. Luckily, it’s well
locked up. Not that he was going to get in with this.”
    Drew used his unoccupied hand to hold up a straightened coat
hanger.
    “Really, M.J.? This is a building, not a car.”
    “It worked before.” He mumbled under his breath.
But it was loud enough for Tyler to hear. Unfortunately, if she could
understand her brother so could Drew.
    “He’s broken in before?”
    Drew tightened his grip, ramming M.J.‘s arm up into the
middle of his back.
    “Hey, that thing breaks.”
    “Don’t tempt me.”
    “This is ridiculous.” Tyler stood back and
motioned for Drew and her brother to enter. She closed the door behind them and
stood with hands on her hips. God, what a pair. You would never know that M.J.
was ten years older — he looked twenty.
    “Why are you here?”
    “Who are you talking to?” Drew asked. “Cause
if it’s me, you already know the answer.”
    “Actually, I was talking to both of you.” Tyler
turned to Drew. “But since you’re the first one to speak up. It was agreed
that either Jack or Alex would take care of my security system. You shouldn’t
be here.”
    H&W security, owned by Jack Winston and Drew, was a
billion dollar software empire. They had earned every dime the hard way —
through working long, tireless hours and their own brains and ingenuity.
    When Drew had left Harper Falls, the day after high school
graduation, he hadn’t taken a dime of the Harper fortune. He’d been blessed
with a good, sharp mind. It earned him a scholarship and he worked to pay for
what that didn’t provide. Unlike her brother, he earned his own way. Just another
reason it was becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain her hate. She
wanted to. It would have made things infinitely easier. But when she looked at
him, she no longer felt the red-hot jolt that used to seethe through her veins.
The heat was still there, but it had less and less to do with anger.
    “In case you’ve forgotten, our friends are nesting. Two
by two, and all that crap. As the last single guy, I now handle late night
calls.”
    When Drew had first returned to Harper Falls, Tyler had already
been back for over six months. Awkward hadn’t even started to cover their first
few meetings. Tyler had been silently belligerent, Drew quiet, almost stoic.
But lately that had started to change, at least on his part.
    A few months ago, Jack was stabbed by a drunken ex-employee.
They all rushed to the hospital and circumstances had left Tyler and Drew alone
for the first time in over ten years. She saw it as the perfect chance to
address the elephant in the room. They weren’t in love, but they were still
attracted. She suggested they have a marathon shagging session and get it out
of their systems, then move on.
    Drew hadn’t taken her up on what she thought a perfectly
logical idea. Instead, he got angry — angrier than she had ever seen him. And
he had stayed that way. Maybe that was part of the reason Tyler was losing her
mad. Let him carry it around for a while. Ten years had been long enough for
her.
    “Then hand it off to one of your employees. There seems
to be an unending supply of them. Hell, you could have sent Boyd.”
    “Again, romance is in the air.”
    Drew ran a hand through his dark, expertly cut hair,
scrubbing at the scalp underneath. Tyler recognized it as a sign of
frustration. When he was younger, mussed hair was always an indication that
Drew was nearing the end of his rope. Apparently, that hadn’t changed.
    Tyler realized this was a fruitless
