āChicken fight!ā
Becca wasted no time getting to her feet. āThat would be my cue to exit. The annual chicken fight
is definitely not my scene.ā She strode toward the locker rooms, leaving Taylor to face the music.
She turned a wide-eyed gaze toward the rest of the party, which was rapidly dividing itself by
groups of two. Even the teenagers. Her stomach started to churn, faster and faster, like a merry-go-
round gaining speed.
She stayed put, sort of an āif Iām very still, no one will notice meā move. After all, no
one had so far. But she should have known her luck would run out.
Not two minutes later Michael detached himself from the group and swam in her direction. Oh,
that hot dog had been a mistake. She just might puke in the pool.
No. No no no. Please donāt make me do this. The last thing she wanted was for
Michael Korvello to try to lift her. She could just imagine the stoic grunt as he realized just how much
she weighed. Not to mention having to do it in front of a handful of women shaped like twigs. With
boobs, of course.
His head lifted above the water with slick grace, the wetness somehow deepening the smoky blue
of his eyes. āI need a partner, Taylor.ā
She swallowed hard. āNo, thanks.ā
āCome on. You wouldnāt leave me hanginā, would ya?ā
Her expression must have showcased some of her āyou bet I would, misterā sentimentality,
because the laughter in his ramped up. āCome on. Just a friendly game of chicken.ā His emphasis on the
word notated his challenge.
Just like he challenged her every day. Drawing her out, coaxing her to take the leap. But this time
she had fear of taking her towel off in front of thirty-some-odd people on her side.
āNot happening.ā She shook her head to drive her point home.
Above the slosh of people in the pool, a voice suddenly rang out. āI thought you said she was a
cool nanny?ā
A quick glance revealed the teens looking her way, and not a single soul left out of the pool, except
one woman wrangling two toddlers.
And her.
So much for outgrowing peer pressure. Her āokayā got everyone back to their preparations and
their eyes off her, thank God. But not Michaelās.
He watched with a raised brow as she stood next to her lounger. Her legs shook with the desire to
run back to the locker rooms and hide. How could she possibly do this? But some teeny-tiny spark inside
insisted she could ramp up that sexy glint in his eyes.
Fake it till you make it.
Sucking in her stomach, she let the towel drop to reveal her new swimsuit. His gaze traveled down
the teal one-piece with interest, lingering where it dipped low over her cleavage. Turning, she draped
her towel over her lounger. A totally unnecessary maneuver, but his quick intake of breath told her heād
seen the heart-shaped cutout right over the dimples at the small of her back.
Did he like them?
Remembering when those dimples had been the subject of ridicule rather than an intimate secret
between lovers, she approached Michael with a touch of caution. When she was within a few steps of
him, he breathed, āDamn, woman.ā
Ah, victory.
A few deep breaths got her through the indignity of climbing onto Michaelās muscled shoulders.
Thankfully he didnāt moan or stumble over her weight. The only thing that eased her self-consciousness
was the feel of his wet skin against hers. His hands warming as they curled around her thighs. The flex of
his arms as he balanced her securely.
Oh, she was so going to hell for her thoughts.
Luckily no one else seemed to be paying her any attention as one of the men yelled, āReady. Set.
Go!ā

āYouāre far too concerned about things outside of yourselfāyou canāt turn your brain off and
simply focus on the pleasure.ā Pleasure he desperately wanted to give her.
Tears welling into her eyes told him he was on track, even if her mouth wouldnāt admit it. He held
up the blindfold once more.
āWhich is why I need to teach you to shut all that shit out. To concentrate on how good you feel,
not what I want from you. Not how you look.ā
She started, obviously surprised by his insight. Oh yeah, heād known about her obsession with her
looks for years. He wasnāt going to let that get in his way either. He brushed the length of material along
her jawline.
āLet me do this, Becca. For you.ā For me.
Those oh too vulnerable eyes closed once more, her chin tilting up in surrender. This close he
could see her hard swallow as she awaited his next move, the pulse at the base of her neck picking up
speed. The beauty of her in that position took his breath away. If he could get his hands on Rockinā
Reno, heād break every bone in his sleazy little body.
Way past time for Becca to find out what it was like to be with a man who put her needs before his
own.

Meghan rolled over, squinting open gritty eyelids to peak at the clock on the bedside table. After
arriving at the hotel from the concert arena, sheād lain on the bed for just a few minutes and must have
drifted off. All the lights in the room were still on, and her suitcase lay open on the bedspread beside
her.
Only an hour had passed.
The slightly grungy feeling from her long flight had multiplied while she slept, reminding her that
sheād planned to take a shower. Actually she was more of a bath girl, but she didnāt want to risk
drowning if she fell asleep again.
She made it quick, once she figured out how to work the faucet in the shower. The shock of cold
water before the hot woke her up slightly, but she knew her body. One steamy shower, pjs, and a warm
bedāsheād be out like a light. She could deal with Seanās anger in the morning.
Heād been none too happy with her when they got to the hotel. Sheād ignored him, much as she
would a child having a tantrum, while she checked in and got her key. Her southern starch had been
evaporating under her exhaustion. Dueling wits with Sean took brain power, and she needed sleep for
that to rejuvenate. Instead sheād made her way to her room.
It wasnāt until they reached her door that sheād turned to him for the polite good night. Instead of
anger, his face had held a strangely intent expression. Thrills had traveled down along her nerves,
though sheād tried to ignore them.
But she couldnāt ignore the way her heart had stopped as heād reached out to finger a big, fluffy
curl in her thick hair. āIt really is good to be meeting you, Meghan.ā His husky voice sent her into yet
another tailspin, until all she could do was mumble as she escaped into her room.
Do not fall for that rock star charisma, she firmly reminded herself. Teasing was one
thing. Falling in love with her boss would be an epic mistake. As for falling in lustāit was way too late to
stop that.
Now her arms were almost too heavy to drag her oversize T-shirt on, so she settled for that and a
pair of panties. Hopefully the hotel wouldnāt catch fire while she was asleep. Having to run around
outside without a bra would be embarrassing beyond measure.
She walked back into the bedroom and stared at her suitcase. Man, her body felt like lead. Pulling
the luggage off the bed was just too much trouble right now. Maybe she could curl back in around it like
she had earlier?
āNeed a hand with that?ā
If sheād needed proof of her girlhood, her squeal ringing off the walls would have been it. Fatigue
clouded her every sense, so sheād missed Sean, who seemed to have taken up residence in the chair in
the corner of her room. āWhat are you doing here?ā she demanded in a deliberate bass, pressing her
hand to her now racing heart.
āEnjoying the view?ā
āDoes this room look like a tourist attraction to you?ā
āItās some kind of attraction, at least.ā
The fun house, maybe. Luckily she kept that to herself as her heart rate dropped closer
to normal. Not that it was ever completely normal around Sean. Over the phone or in person, he revved
every engine she had.
His gaze returned to her bare legs, causing her to tug down the hem of her oversize T. Just a look
should not turn her on. āWhat do you want?ā she asked around clenched teeth.
āI want my assistant to assist me.ā
āCanāt it wait until morning?ā Or at least until Iām dressed?
āIt cannot. Youāll be sleeping when we get there.ā
Uh-oh. She looked wistfully at her bed. āWhere?ā
āRosslair House. You wanted me to go. Weāll be leaving in a few minutes.ā
āBut I just got here.ā Was that a whine in her voice? Not pretty, Meghan. Not that he would
possibly care.
āToo bad,ā he said. āYou got me into this. You can go along for the ride.ā

āSmart ass.ā
Yes, she got that honestly too. She found smart ass answers worked a great deal better than raging
at Jake. When she got angry, he simply dug in his heels from here to eternity.
As much as she wanted her freedom, they both understood all too well his deep-seated need to
protect her.
Moving in close, she hugged him. With his arm around her shoulders, his surrounding warmth
brought the same sense of security it always had. Only she couldnāt live like that forever.
āLetās save the protection for something major, okay?ā Her voice dropped to a sad whisper. āIām
smothering, Jake.ā
He squeezed her tighter. āI donāt know if I can stop. Even now. Especially now.ā
He rubbed the back of his hand over her cheek. āEvery time I try I just see the bruises and my heart
stops beating for a minuteā¦Iāll never forgive myself for leaving you behind.ā
Covering his hand with her own, she pressed his palm closer. āI know.ā
Sometimes she could still feel the impact of flesh against flesh and wondered all over again if sheād
be alive right now if her brother hadnāt come home that day. She stepped back, shaking off the
memories. āBut brother dear, Iāll never find an overprotective husband to let you off the hook with you
hovering.ā
Jakeās grin said he too appreciated the banter instead of yet another argument. āWe could look
into an arranged marriage.ā
āNo, no, and no,ā Sara said, lifting her hands as if to ward him off. She could just imagine the
pipsqueak her brother would pick so he could go right on controlling her.
āWhatās wrong?ā he asked. āActually, itās not a bad idea. How else will I know I can trust the
guy?ā
Heavy steps sounded from behind her before a deep rolling voice filled the space. āWhat about
me?ā
Sara whirled around on the pavement, staring at Nate Bishop in shocked silence, but his body
appeared perfectly at ease-though the look from under the black brim of his cowboy hat was as intense
as always. Same as always, as if he were hiding something he didnāt want the world to see too
well.
āI can drive her home, if you want,ā he said, shifting a little in his cowboy boots.
