sexual anticipation could generate.
    “That’s good,” he said, finally releasing her hair. “We can wait until tomorrow because you’re going to be spending a lot of time with the three of us for the foreseeable future.”
    She opened her eyes very wide. “Why would I do that?”
    “Because it’s what Daniel wants.”
    She gasped. “He didn’t say that!”
    Jonny flashed a confident smile. “Yeah, he did.”
    “He doesn’t know his own mind.” She shook her head, her expression disgusted. “The drugs are making him addled.”
    “He seems perfectly lucid to me.”
    “He’s having a good day.”
    Jonny chuckled. “So am I. It’s improving by the minute.”
    “Why does Daniel want you to spend time with me?”
    “He thinks you need to have some fun.”
    She snorted. “And you guys are the ones to supply it, I suppose?”
    “We don’t usually get any complaints.”
    She placed her hands on her slim hips and glared at him. “Have you any idea how arrogant that sounds?”
    Jonny dealt her a smug grin. “Just telling it like it is.”
    He lowered his head until his lips almost touched her forehead. She appeared to be frozen to the spot and didn’t move a muscle. He wasn’t sure that she even breathed. Problem was, she didn’t lift her head and invite his kiss, either. Damned woman wasn’t giving him any encouragement—which was all the encouragement a man like Jonny required. He didn’t take well to rejection, mainly because he’d never encountered any before.
    “My brothers and I are tasked with liberating you,” he said, dropping a featherlight kiss almost chastely on her forehead. Jonny briefly wondered if he’d lost his mind. He didn’t do chaste. Ever.
    “Liberating me from what?” she asked so quietly he could barely hear her.
    “From your inhibitions.” His lips worked the way down the side of her face and he breathed the words against her ear.
    “I don’t have any.”
    “Daniel disagrees.”
    “Daniel’s an interfering control freak.”
    “You can’t tell him that.” He nibbled her earlobe, eliciting a soft groan for his trouble. “He’s sick.”
    “The hell I can’t! Daniel doesn’t like being treated like an invalid and so I don’t look upon him as one.”
    Jonny let out a deep, throaty chuckle. “I can see why he’s taken to you.”
    “I don’t like you, Jonny,” she said, seeming to snap out of the trance she’d fallen into, “and have no intention of allowing you to liberate me, as you so quaintly describe your task.”
    “Why don’t you like me?” he asked, pretending to be hurt. “Everyone likes me.”
    “I’m not everybody.”
    “You have to like me,” he said, not taking her seriously. “Daniel’s orders.”
    “Daniel will have had a change of heart by the time I’ve finished with him tomorrow.” She sounded as though she was trying to convince herself as much as him. She must know that Daniel was notorious for not changing his mind once he’d made it up. “And to answer your question, you’re suspicious of everyone, arrogant as hell, and used to getting your own way. Well, you might as well know that you won’t be getting anything from me, especially not your way.”
    “Is that right?” When she nodded emphatically, Jonny flashed a raffish grin. “Word of warning, sweetheart, don’t say things like that to me. They sound suspiciously like a challenge and I never back down from challenges. Nor do I ever fail when I take one on.”
    “I was right about you. Arrogant to your toe nails.”
    “Besides, you have no idea how persuasive I can be when there’s something I want.”
    “And I have no intention of finding out.” Steffi tilted her chin defiantly. “Besides, you don’t want me. You’re just doing what Daniel, in his misguided wisdom, told you to do.”
    She actually appeared to mean it. Jonny recovered quickly from the shock and decided that firm action was required. He pulled her from the wall, and with a strangled oath
