She blinked several tiaze fro her per the wanker? In love with hiht screamed across his brain like a battle cry
“Ronan ” She sidled down to his end of the bar “A scotch?”
“Double, no rocks ” He glanced down at Tynan “New…friend?”
“I see your brother has already ht ” She looked just over his shoulder at his brother with a sarcastic twist of her pretty pink lips “I hope you"re in the ht It appears she"s yours by default Raiden always takes the redheads ” Then she looked at her watch and whistled “Quick work That"s a record, even for him ”
Ronan gri here to find women, but his twin insisted nowhere else was et-rich
“I don"t care who Raiden"s found He can have them both I came for you,” he confessed
Kari reached behind her for a glass on the shelf “We"ve been over this I won"t spend the night with you ”
“Why? It"s not because I"lanced at Tynan “Clearly ”
“Don"t ask lass on the orn bar between them
Ronan grabbed her hands They were soft and fragile, and at aat his composure “You"re like a fever to me I need to touch you ”
“That line work for you often?”
Kari thought the admission he"d had to choke out was a ploy? He scowled “It"s not a bloody line ”
She shook her head, blonde curls brushing breasts he"d drea, and extracted her hands “Like any fever, you"ll recover frolass, then shoved it his way “Six pounds ”
With a sigh, Ronan shoved his money across the bar “I simply want to talk to you ”
“No, you want to shag et ed for the past two years The notches on your bedpost are long, as is the line
I have neither the time nor inclination ”
With that, she turned away and headed to the other end of the bar
Bugger!
Raiden lanced at the brunette Pretty enough Nice mouth Small hands Maybe he could close his eyes and pretend she was Kari It would hardly be the first time But now that he kneizards weren"t off liht
With the slaone Kari bit her lip, steeling herself against the pain of the all-too faht Still, it hurthe"d be holding her while she tossed in bed alone, wanting what she would never have: his devotion forever “Who is he?”
Kari looked over to her newest regular, Tynan O"Shea Polite, quiet—for now A brewing storm, for certain He was obviously haunted by the loss of the woical politics or villains In fact, as a huickind at all Indiscreet aving after too o But this Mathias D"Arc creep who had killed Tynan"s lady love sounded right scary And if Kari could do anything to help hi to how much he missed his beloved Auropha, she would do it
She shrugged, trying to appear unaffected “A regular who thinks he can crook his finger and I"ll shag him ”
Tynan paused “Has he ever kissed you?”
“No ” Not that Ronan hadn"t tried Not that Kari hadn"t thought about his full mouth on her
s, deht hair Or her palreen eyes devoured her…
“Hmm Ever…been with a wizard?”
That question gave her pause “Not that I know of ”
“If you"d slept with one, you"d know ”
“Really? You look like human men Prettier perhaps, but I assumed the anatomy worked the same ”
“Yes and no ”
