“Me, be careful? What about Hayes? He almost scared me half to death!” Her heart was still racing. “I nearly slid off the roof.”

“You wouldn’t be able to slide off the roof if you weren’t sitting on the damn roof,” Hayes barked. “Don’t you realize how dangerous that is?”

“Well, it never felt dangerous before you two came along,” she replied.

Jeez.

She’d sat up here probably hundreds of times and never had an issue.

“New rule. No coming up here again.” Corbin grasped hold of her chin, turning her face toward his.

“What? You can’t just make up new rules.” And this was her thinking spot. He couldn’t tell her that she couldn’t come up on her own roof.

That was just rude.

“I can. I’m in charge. Therefore, I get to make the rules.”

Hayes cleared his throat.

“We’re in charge,” Corbin amended. “We get to make the rules. And you have to obey them.”

“Yeah? And what happens if I don’t? Are you going to put me in the naughty corner?”

Her mouth went dry at the thought.

But surprisingly, there was no fear. She really was starting to trust him.

Which could be very dangerous.

He leaned in closer, eyes blazing, face stern.

And. Yikes.

Her whole body tightened in desire. The man was like her own personal catnip.

“Nope, I’m going to?—”

Hayes very loudly cleared his throat. She wasn’t sure if it was on purpose or if he had a giant fur ball in his throat.

“Do you need a drink of water?” she asked Hayes.

“What I need is for the two of you to get down from there before I have a fucking heart attack,” he replied. “Down. Now.”

Yikes.

Hayes had that stern voice thing going on too.

“Not until Corbin tells me what he’s going to do if I don’t obey these rules.”

There were other rules they’d given her. Things like she wasn’t to leave the house without them. She had to do whatever they said in dangerous situations.

Rules that she had agreed to because she knew they were part of their job.

But this was not part of their job.

“I’m going to lecture you until your ears fall off,” Corbin told her.

They stared at each other. She tried to figure out if he was lying. Bebe was convinced that wasn’t what he’d intended to say.
