"I don’t ed--"Yesterday, when Luc and I had you naked and spread across our kitchen counter with ourfurious heat dash up her cheeks

The brother whose naly Bastard! He’d coular Why hadn’t she seen that co to you and Luc?" Adam asked Deke

"Yes"

"Hell no!" she blurted at the sa again "Come outside with me so we can discuss this"

Did theto you and your cousin, I’ain, and I’ outside with you"

"I ca I think you want to hear"

"I’ just another wet hole to you, and I’m too pissed to care"

One second, Deke stood two feet away, not touching any part of her A blink later, he crowded in and hovered toe-to-toe with her, one ar halfway down her back

"I’ain Co to find the nearest chair, pull that little skirt up over your ass, and spank your pretty cheeks red with the entire croatching"

Kimber didn’t waste the breath necessary to say, "You wouldn’t" She knew better

Irritation poisoned her thoughts He was a high-handed SOB Even as she thought it, though, her belly fluttered with so… No, that could not be arousal

"You have no right"

He shrugged "I’ll sure enjoy it"

Adam shoved his way between them "As much as I’d like the view, there’s no violence or nudity in the club, y’all You’ll have to take it outside" She whirled on hi her to the wolves all in one sentence? Figures the ether

"You knohat? Go screw yourselves--all of you I’ with fury, she stormed toward the exit

Assholes, the lot of theh to believe that Deke would leave it at that He was following her; she felt him about two steps behind

Damn the man

As she reached the club’s door, the est, meanest bouncer of the trio clustered around the door and smiled his way

"Can you escort lare over her shoulder at Deke

"Aw, honey," Deke crooned and wrapped an arm around her "Don’t be mad" Before she could tell him where to shove his coer, deranged stalker--soainst him, dropped his head, and trapped every furious word on the tip of her tongue with a blistering kiss

She struggled, but within moments, all she kneas Deke Warm male, ripe with persuasion, soaked in sin, invaded her senses His mouth coaxed her Ki through her, Deke incited a fae of want, that doused her protests With a brush of his lips, a slow caress of tongue, the soft slide of his palm down her back, he enveloped her in desire--and not just hers His oas so tangible, she tasted the tang of his arousal on her tongue

His kiss ency of his own need, softened into a tangle of lips, breaths, and tongues she would never have ihtless, Ki, heat-pooling power of his kiss

Until he nipped at her lip, soothed it with a tender lick, then slid a soft brush of his , she leaned into hi rabbed her shoulders "I’m sorry about yesterday Coht, y’all," said the bouncer with a teasing sood comeback, Deke took her hand and led her outside, into the huhts bobbing up and down on the dirt road, and cruised to the far end Sos croaked to one another Crickets sang and ens coht down on them

Now that Deke’s persuasive ht, Kimber rolled her eyes at her stupidity Damn it, she hadn’t intended to heel after Deke kissed and stroked her Sheher own imitation of a bitch in heat Well, she’d wanted to leave, anyway Noas her chance

She fished into the hidden pocket of her skirt for her car keys "Okay, I’ot your little way Happy?" A sly smile quirked up the side of his mouth Before she could wonder what mischief he was up to, Deke snaked out a hand and snatched the keys froers They disappeared deep into the pocket of his jeans The only way to get them back was to slide her hand into his pants Lovely Considering the erection bulging the front of his jeans, she didn’t think he’d be at all opposed to having her hands fishing around in his pockets--or anywhere else down there

"No, now I’ her deni anywhere until we finish this chat" Kih-handed son of a--"

"Hang on before you start na I’ve come here to offer you my help If you still want it"

She paused Did he ht he meant? "You came here to say that you’ll teachterribly happy "Yeah"

Relief or irritation--they ran a close race for her reaction Relief eventually won, since she wasn’t going to win Jesse’s heart without an education Letting the Catrell brothers teach her, despite hoilling they’d see she wanted

But she wasn’t about to let Deke know that "Maybe it’s too little, too late"

"You didn’t look too comfortable with Adam and Burke" So uncomfortable that she’d blocked out the older brother’s name apparently

"Who cares? Not me, since you purposely tried to scare ured that out, huh?"
