gently.
    Cecil’s head bobbed up and down.
    “Okay, let’s get a couple of coffees and sit.”
    Cecil rushed over to the counter and started lining up cups.
    Kurt moved to the closest table to the counter and sat in the chair that faced the front door. Clint sat beside him and angled his chair where he could cover the back. Sara sat next to him and he couldn’t help but run his eyes over her.
    “Hi,” he said.
    She smiled. “Hi.”
    Cecil cleared his throat and set the cups of coffee down. “Here you go.”
    Clint lifted his cup and took a drink. “Oh, man, I needed a cup of the good stuff.”
    Kurt grunted in agreement then turned towards Sara. “Tell us everything.”
    He listened as Sara told them what had happened from the moment that the six men had entered the shop until they’d left.
    He picked up on the two names that were provided. Rudy and Colt. Since Colt had already given them the names of the men he was hanging with, it matched everything they knew. So Colt and his group had arrived in town.
    “Kind of stupid to give us a warning,” Clint shared with Kurt.
    “Yeah,” Kurt concurred.
    “Stupid! They threatened you!” Sara cried.
    “Hey!” Clint grasped her hand and pulled her closer. She slid into his lap. “We know what we’re doing,” he assured her.
    “But—” she started to argue.
    “Sara…” He cupped her cheek. He hated to see the worry on her face. “This is what we do. We protect people. If they are after us, then we know everyone else is safe.”
    She rested her forehead against his. “I just don’t want anything to happen to you.”
    “It won’t,” he promised.
    She sighed but nodded. “I trust you.”
    “You don’t seem surprised that these men came looking for you,” Cecil accused.
    “We’re not,” Kurt responded. “We’d already heard that there were men headed this way. We’ve got it handled.”
    Cecil shook his head. “Hope so, man. That Rudy guy…” Cecil shuddered. “He gave me the creeps.”
    “Hey, kid,” Kurt said. “You just be careful. Watch your back and don’t go out at night alone. They aren’t after you but don’t take any chances. Don’t try to engage them for any reason.”
    Cecil smiled. “I’m no hero. I’m not going to draw attention to myself, trust me.”
    “Good.” Kurt reached for his wallet and pulled out a card. “That’s my number. You see anything that makes you uncomfortable, call me or Clint. One of us will be right there.”
    Cecil looked reassured and slipped the card into his back pocket. “Thanks.”
    “Same with you.” Clint kissed the tip of Sara’s nose. “They obviously know about us. I don’t want you to take any chances.”
    She shrugged. “I doubt they’ll try anything against the sheriff’s daughter.”
    He grasped her chin and made her meet his gaze. “I mean it, Sara.”
    “I promise I’ll be careful,” she offered.
    It wasn’t the assurance he wanted, but he decided not to push it for now. “Okay.”
    Kurt stood and motioned Cecil away from the table.
    Once they were alone, Clint dipped his head and placed a kiss against her lips. “Last night and this morning?” he started. “Those were some of the best moments I’ve ever shared with anyone. I want more of them. Which means you need to let me handle this and not get hurt.”
    “I understand,” she replied softly. “I want more too.”
    “I’ll let you know what’s going on. I’ll try to stop by tonight.”
    “Yeah?” She wiggled on his lap.
    His cock hardened. “Oh yeah,” he responded before kissing her deeply.
    She hummed and opened for him. He ran his hands down her face, around to caress her neck, before he dug his fingers into her shoulders.
    She moaned into his mouth.
    “Damn, honey,” he said when they broke apart. “We’ll have to pick this up later.”
    She looked up at him, her face flushed. “Later.”
    He stood but couldn’t resist one more kiss. “Call if you need anything,” he ordered then he
