She could see the fear in his brother’s eyes, and she hated knowing that fear was for the man she loved

"Cam’s still alive," she finally whispered "Whatever happened to hihtened frolare, then paced across the roo back to her "Is that what you call it?"

"He walks, he talks, he s his de to lovemore?"

She had left hiht she had to call his de it, and it didn’t stop her fro at the loss she sensed inside Cah for you?" He propped his hands on his hips and stared back at her knowingly

No, it wasn’t enough for her, but it was that or leave And she wasn’t going anywhere Not yet Not as long as Ca at his feet

"For now," she finally answered hiht for hih in disbelief

"Chase, what do you think I’ly, before they dropped to her side "Do you think I liked having hiht I was asleep? Do you think I enjoy seeing the hunger that’s building inside hi unable to give it to hi, Jaci"

"Like what?" She almost yelled the words back at him "What the hell do you want me to do? Hurt him worse? Blackmail him? ‘Sorry, Cam, but you spill your secrets or do without me’? Damn you, Chase, what the hell do you want froht for hiripping her shoulders as he gave theer "Da him take the easy way out, like you did the last tiet aith this macho, closed- leave the saot here"

He pushed her away, sto in accusation as the office door slammed open

Jaci flinched as the panel sla, sharp contour in his face as his gaze found and pinned Chase

"Caer stabbed in her direction, drawing her to an abrupt halt, shock rocking her on her feet as the two brothers faced off

Both were furious She watched their bodies tense, watched as they glared back at each other

"Did you forget about the cameras in the office, Chase?" Calanced up at the darkened glass of the security et, little brother Just as I didn’t forget that you were supposed to be in a irlfriend"

"Jaci, are you ready to leave?" Caaze froaze away as he asked the question

"The two of you here alone?" She wasn’t that stupid "I don’t think so, Caether then Now" His voice grew darker, softer

Jaci almost shivered at the fury she could feel in the very stillness of the tone

She wasn’t the only one that watched hi his brother like a scientist would exa potentially fatal There was alh he hadhow to push him further

She was terrified to see if he could actually do it

She moved quickly back to her desk, shoved her phone into her purse, and grabbed it up She wasn’t pern pad or the pictures with her

"I’et this job finished, at this rate," she muttered "I have to work sometime, you two, not just when your testosterone allows it"

She slung her purse over her shoulder and moved from the desk She strode to Cam, laid her hand on his arht, or what? Not that a lot of testosterone and blood would do anything to turnhas to be for soaze finally slid froo to the floor and wail, to cry for the bleak sorrow, the agony and rage she saw in his eyes

She felt her breath catch in her throat, and had to forcibly still her lips froed inside him? How did he contain the pain, the desperation she could see tearing him apart?

He turned back to Chase "If I see ever you handle her again like I saw on that monitor, I’ll take you apart," he told his brother "And I’ll make certain you never so much as breathe the saer "Will you now? And tell lanced at Jaci again "I don’t think she’s going to allow just any man to take that beautiful ass of hers, just because it’s what you need"

Jaci nearly blanched at the dare in his voice Fury raced over her

"Enough!" Her voice cracked into the sudden tense stillness of the roo into Cam’s arm as he tensed to pull away from her "The first one of you to raise your fists to the other will deal with azes on her

"I mean it, Ca pain, the rage, the obvious disbelief that she would threaten either one of theonize your brother, I’ll be da you?" he growled furiously "Co you to forget so, is it, Cam?"
