like having a willing hole to poke. They just don’t wanna marry it.”
    His gaze narrowed into angry slits. “You’ve got a nasty mouth.”

    Shanna raised her chin, relieved the anger flooding her was washing away her guilty tears. “I’m a realist. Every man’s wired the same. Doesn’t matter what you might like to think—that somehow you’re different from any other guy. But when it comes down to it, if you’re alone with something that’s halfway decent lookin’, your cock’s gonna go on pussy alert.”
    Ezra turned off the water and pulled back the door. He stepped out of the shower, then turned and bent, shoving his shoulder hard into her belly, forcing air from her lungs while she crumpled over him.
    Upside down and sliding on his slippery skin, Shanna didn’t know whether to hit him or cling to keep from falling.
    When he walked into the bedroom, he flung her on the bed. The men inside the room glanced up, their gazes sharpening.
    “You look pissed, Ezra,” Josh said. “What’d she do?”
    “She insulted us. Thinks we aren’t all that particular about who we poke.”
    Josh snorted. “Those her words?”
    “Yep.”
    “Damn, Shanna. If you’d said it to me, I might have let it slide.”
    Shanna sat up. “Don’t know why he’s so bent out of shape. Only statin’ the bald truth. You’re men.
    You don’t have anything better to do on a Friday night.”
    Josh came up on his knees beside her, looming. “We don’t have any other plans so we’re doing you?
    That it?”
    She gave a sharp nod.
    “Think I’m pissed now, too.”
    She glanced to the far corner where Bo sat. He still had his jeans on, but the button at the waistband was open. His hands gripped the arms of his chair. His body was rigid.
    She started to worry then and sat up. “Guess it’s time for me to go. This just stopped bein’ fun.”
    Ezra’s hands fisted on his hips. “It’s not always fun, Shanna—learning to obey. There’s the bit about respect, for the man laying down the rules, and respect for yourself.”
    “I don’t want anyone bein’ the boss of me.”
    “You might not want it, but there’s not a woman who needs it more, sweetheart.” Ezra planted his palm in the center of her chest and pushed her slowly down to the mattress.
    Her abdominal muscles burned as she tried to resist his inexorable push, but in the end she lay flat while his brothers stretched her arms above and her legs below, securing them to the bedposts with binding straps she hadn’t seen before and leaving her spread-eagle on the mattress.
    Angry, she pulled against the padded leather bindings, twisting every which way, but accomplishing nothing other than working up a sweat. When she finally relented, she panted, aiming daggers at their hides, but gritting her teeth to keep from screaming.

    Ezra pulled open a drawer in the long built-in cabinet that stretched along one wall. He rifled the contents then drew out a long, thin dildo. He turned it upside down and flicked a switch on the base, making it hum.
    Her knees turned inward, trying to close her thighs, but he crawled onto the bed between her legs, scooting closer and nudging her thighs wider apart. “Need some lube, Cade.”
    Shanna snarled and yanked on her bindings again, her heart starting to trip as she read the intent in his tightening features. He was going to punish her. Make her eat her words.
    Part of her was thrilled, but the other part was appalled. She didn’t like the thought that so many men would be witness to this. She had to resist, had to prove she wasn’t weak, wasn’t an easy whore like her mama.
    Cade climbed onto the mattress at her side and leaned over her open thighs. His fingers smoothed between her folds and dipped inside. “Still wet as hell.” When he glided deeper between her legs, between her buttocks, her knees stiffened, holding her legs straight, trying
