Not one of them had on their usual, expensive suit Instead, they all wore jeans and cotton shirts that proved they were far e executive Slade was long and lean and bulged in all the right places His face had such beautiful angles, it looked chiseled Those blue eyes were sharp with intelligence And under it all, a barely concealed power that pulled at her

Dex was all dangerous cowboy He was built e and that cut torso of his tapered into a lean waist and the finest butt she’d ever had the joy to see on a man

And Gavin looked like a fallen angel His face was all kinds of stunning, which , just unraveled Hannah completely She couldn’t help but think about how it had felt to have those lips on her skin, loving her

None of theh As they stared down the crowd, they looked ready to kill

All the other men froze

“Now, Dex,” Gavin said in that smooth-as-silk voice of his, “I don’t think we need to spend the money on a pine box We’ll just toss his carcass off the mountain or let the bears take care of it”

Hannah slid off her barstool and faced the her dainty foot down

“You have no right to talk to them that way You don’t own rabbed her arht not own you But we damn sure do”

“Daht” Dex crossed his arms over his massive chest and pinned her with a dark stare

Hannah narrowed her eyes “Do you have any idea how arrogant the two of you sound? I’et that straight right now” Dex shook his head “You becaoing back”

“And you’ve earned so without explanation, except that little note on your co on that dark, deep tone that let her know she was in trouble

Hannah turned to see if any of her admirers planned to back her up Only Marnie stood behind her

“They left thewalked in the door,” Marnie murmured “They ran out the back”

“Good to know they have survival instincts” Gavin snorted “Get ready to feel my hand on your ass, sweetheart”

He stood in between his brothers, as though he had soht to be there

Hannah fu to hear this from Slade and Dex Maybe But why are you here, Gavin? You’re no longerany feelings for me, so what I do is none of your business You certainly can’t threaten to spank me”

“Oh, I’ll do et all this settled” Gavin raised a brow, then his expression gentled “Hannah, I didn’tto do whatever it takes to prove that”

His words made her pulse jump, but Hannah hesitated She had to be careful that she didn’tto hiresupre you as ain in a heartbeat But baby, ht now isn’t at all professional I’ll be happy to prove it, starting with that spanking”

She asp—barely “You don’t touch me I don’t want you anymore”

“Yes, you do”

“Now you think you’re reading my mind?” Hannah thrust her hands on her hips, her expression all but daring him to claim he was psychic

“No, your nipples are telling lanced down Sure enough, the little traitors were standing straight up, poking out from behind her shirt Hastily, she crossed her arms “It’s an involuntary reaction It doesn’t mean I want you”

“I want you, baby You said that you care about me I admit, I care about you” He stepped closer “Now tell me, do you want me?”

His voice had become a deep,to her nipples…and down between her legs,this? Had he truly had a change of heart or was this soame?

“I don’t know” A huge lie Hannah bit her lip But darn it all, she wasn’t ready to confess everything in her heart again only to have it thrown in her face

“Boys, do you think she wants azes to Dex and Slade, who flanked her in an instant Dex grabbed her free arm and reached for the hem of her skirt

“What are you doing?” she screeched as he lifted her skirt to her thighs “This is a public place!”

“Everyone’s gone, including Marnie She just slipped out the back” Of course the woman would choose her “boys” over soo, but still, with Marnie went her last hope for an ally

A second later, it didn’t matter because Slade had popped the buttons of her blouse open, exposing her hard nipples, and Dex’s fingers skily wet folds of her pussy

She caught her breath then razed her clit

Flashing her a wicked sers and held them up for Gavin “Would you look at that All pretty and very, very wet

“I think I’ve made my point,” Gavin drawled

She ses of her blouse back together as she twisted away from Dex Her skirt fell to her knees “That was for your brothers,” she told Gavin

“They were touchingto do with you” Gavin paused, shrugged “Okay, then I’ll just sidle your way and see if I can ”

It absolutely would She’d melt quickly into a puddle at his feet Then he’d know he could play with her anytime he wanted, and her body would respond

Maybe she should stop fighting him and just ask what the hell he wanted

“Fine I want you I admit it What’s the point?”

“The point is, things aren’t right between us We have to talk”

“Please, just listen” Slade turned to her and sighed “Gavin has a few things he wants to say to you”

Gavin had already said enough She’d been hauled bodily to Alaska, forced to randmother She’d had her cell phone taken away She’d lost her virginity and her ability to wear underwear Gavin had ripped her heart out, forced her to ad to say? Marnie had told her to get mad Well, she was mad
