Co out from behind the bar, I loop my purse over ain snatches my wrist It's warm and I can feel ainst his palet it under control

His thuainst my wrist "Come on don't be that way, cailin alainn"

I start to jerk out of his hold but those words stopback to me "What did you just call me?"

Cillian steps in closer but doesn't release his hold on me With his other hand, he reaches up and tucks a piece of hair behindinto nize it, I'o, Renner"

CHAPTER 2

Cillian

Renner's eyes go hen she realizes I recognize her

And how could I not remember someone like her?

It's been five years since I saw her last and every detail of her stunning face is just as I remembered it Her sinful, dark red hair still flon her back in soft waves, and her pale green eyes are staring up at ht now to et those irises to darken up a bit

For a woman that I only kissed once, she's played a recurrent role in my fantasies No matter where I've traveled, no matter who I've met, no matter who I've had sex withRenner's face hts

And here she is again

I' me she was in Dublin Over the years, I've casually asked Cady how Renner was doing, but she was always vague and nondescript Which I know is bullshit, because Renner and Cady are close I' my casual inquiries weren't so casual after all, and I' Cady doesn't want me within a hundred yards of her dear cousin

Which doesn't offend hter, I wouldn't want ht now is about ten different ways I want to dominate Renner in bed

"You remember me?" she asks in awe

Stepping up close to her again, I grab her chin between aze stays locked on me I swear a feel a sizzle of electricity froo, I kissed a girl that was fresh, and young, and innocent and so not ready for the likes ofher chin, I rake ain I like what I seea lot, and I take pleasure in the fact that her breath hitches just a little under rown up, Renner I'm bettin' you could handle me now"

She lets out a shaky breath, and there it is her eyes go dark The knowledge that my words alone do that to her thrills me beyond ue can get

"Now, let's go get that drink and we can see just hoell can you handle me"

The blinding set frohten back up and there's now a scowl on her forehead

Putting her hands on my chest, she pushes h," she sneers "I h to fall for your sexy lines before, but you're right I as to do than waste ant musician"

I stare at her for just alares at me and crosses her aret my amusement but I aet, I have time to play

Reaching out, I wrapher jaw "My cailin alainn has so to enjoy the you"

"Aaaagghhh," she screa ood measure, just in case she decides to let a fist or foot fly otistical, jackass and the only place my claill be sunk will be in your balls if you try to touch ain"

I give her a well-calculated sift for words"

In all actuality, it doesn't turnher

Now that lovely high and angry blush she's wearing? Yes, that's turning et that red when she comes I bet she blushes all the way down to her breasts

Taking a deep breath, Renner looks rits out "Just do me a favor Stay away from me I'm not interested"
