“I think it’s nice that you’re sensitive to that, but she didn’t mention anything to me.” I wasn’t going to reveal something that might embarrass her or overstep my bounds. I’d already done that enough during this trip by ‘accidently’ pouring wine all over Rebecca.

“Oh.”

If I wasn’t mistaken, he appeared disappointed by my response.

“Thanks for the dance, Colby.” When the music ended, I made my way back to my chair. I was happy to take a seat and get off my feet. Gorgeous heels didn’t always afford a lot of comfort, especially while dancing. I smiled at the fact that Colby was now leading McKenzie out onto the floor.

“It makes me crazy jealous to watch you dance with Colby,” Brian’s low voice whispered in my ear. He’d taken a seat beside me at the table.

I turned toward him and laughed. “You think I’d be interested in Colby?”

“Even if I wasn’t in the picture, I’d hope the answer would be no.”

I couldn’t resist the urge to mess with him. “Because if we are taking stock of the room, I think Will would have the best chance.” I tipped my head toward the handsome Aussie standing by the bar.

His expressive brown eyes immediately showed his temper. “Seriously?”

“You know I’m completely messing with you, right?”

“Jealousy isn’t something I deal well with, and you doing it on purpose pisses me off. Why do you think I specifically said no dating other people?”

This alpha side of him was doing strange things to my libido, but the independent-woman-of-thirty-two years balked at the concept. “We’re at a wedding where even the bride is dancing with other men. It’s what you do.”

He sighed. “I know, but that doesn’t mean I have to like seeing another man’s hands on you. It may be irrational, but now that I’ve been inside of you, I’m possessive as hell.”

I sucked in my breath. How was it that this man could make me feel hot all over and infuriate me at the same time? I took a big gulp of my wine, knowing it was going to be a long night.

An amazing displayof fireworks rang in the New Year and capped off the amazing wedding reception. It was late by the time we arrived via limo back at the resort. I had a hard time keeping my eyes off of Brian during the ride.

After entering in my room, I undressed, showered, and slipped nude between the cool sheets, where I waited for the knock on my door. My eyes were heavy, and with one last glimpse at the clock, I fell asleep.

I woke to a hot body sliding in behind me and hands skimming my side. “To find you naked like this is like Christmas morning,” Brian murmured into the crook of my neck.

“What time is it?” I stretched, feeling his erection behind me and his hands now on my breasts.

“It’s after two o’clock. Lots of family drama and no way of calling you without making it obvious.”

“Please tell me I wasn’t the cause this time.”

He chuckled, moving his hands down to my stomach and breathing in my scent. “Nope, not you. But it was Rebecca, and if a man could hit a woman, she’d be out cold.”

“Must have been bad. I can’t imagine you wanting to hit anyone.”

“Not me. Colby got into it with her over something she said. Then Benjamin got involved, then my mother. But I don’t want to talk about that anymore.” His fingers found me wet and wanting.

My body started to respond when he found my clit, but if I’d thought this would be a slow and sleepy lovemaking session, I was quickly proven wrong. Suddenly, the sheet was lifted and he stood up, sliding me to the edge of the bed by my ankles. Kneeling on the floor, he put my legs over his shoulders and dove straight into my trembling sex.

“Ahhh.” I was fully awake now. But suddenly my legs were dropped and he’d stood up. “Bri—where are you going? Oh—”

He’d gone into the bathroom and flipped on the light, casting the bed in soft light and shadows.

“I need to see you.” His voice was gruff as he assumed the same position.

I gasped in pleasure. Gone was the slow seduction and in its place a scorching hot urgency. His tongue separated my silken folds while a finger slipped inside of me. He sucked my hardened nub between his teeth, teasing it until I was practically clawing at the bed. His fingers moved in and out of my slick entrance while his talented mouth traveled south. I inhaled when his tongue speared into me while his thumb rubbed my clit with diabolical precision. “Come for me now.”

The gentle command was all it took. My body went taut and then melted from the scorching wave of heat that rolled through me from head to toe. I came with an explosive cry.
