She went still "Hudson--"

"The desk isn’t the right height when you’re sitting on it," he whispered "This will be a better angle for you, I promise" As he spoke, he pressed open-mouthed kisses to the sweet spot just beneath her ear as his hands found her breasts When his rough fingers teased her tight nipples, she went soft and coed her legs farther apart Keeping an are of the wood, he trailed a hand between her trehs

She moaned and squirmed, and he sank his teeth into the nape of her neck "Shh," he re the scent of her--coconut shae of apprehension She shivered and pressed back against him

Nope Not apprehension It was arousal, in every beat of her heart and every hitched breath

"Please," she breathed, and pushed her hips back into hi like a bow strung as taut as it could get "Oh, Hud, please…"

Making quick work of a condo not to do the saain He was trying to slow her down, trying to slow the those hips back for more and he lost himself, just completely lost himself in Bailey

When their frenzied need overtook theed to keep thes weren’t a solid bet He was still working on that and also trying to catch his breath--and come to terms hat had just happened He was pretty sure that what happened was his heart had just rolled over and exposed its tender underbelly--when there was another knock at his door

"Hud?" It was Penny this time "Hud, have you seen Bailey? Her car’s in the lot but no one’s seen her I just want to make sure she’s okay"

Penny was smarter than both of his brothers In fact she was sether "She’s okay," he said to the door

There was a beat of silence fron Then, "So is that ‘she’s okay’ as in you just want o away and leave you the hell alone?" she asked "Or ‘she’s okay’ as in you’ve got her in there with you and you’re ood use of your desk the way I do with Gray’s?"

Bailey squirmed "Door number two!" she said

Jesus Hud dropped his forehead to Bailey’s shoulder "Now you’ve done it," he hter and it occurred to hiood reason He’d just bent her over his desk and taken her And also, his family was certifiable Completely "Now that you know she’s okay," he said to Penny through the door, "you can go away"

"Will do," Penny said, sounding very auys want to coht?"

Hud closed his eyes "Penny?"

"Yeah?"

"Go away And if you tell, I’ll let Gray know you’re the one who put that dent in his precious truck"

There was a shocked beat of silence and then "I was never here!" This was followed by the sound of her footsteps hurrying away

"Shit," HudBailey in his arms to face him "She’ll have told everyone by the end of the day"

Bailey, looking soft and dazed and sated, sainst his desk and picked up her clothes for her Since she still looked boneless and adorably wobbly, he ended up helping her get back into them He added his oeatshirt to the top of her ensemble to keep her warm

Bullshit You just like the way she looks in your clothes…
