“Just tell me!”
“I remembered the expression on your face when I caught you looking at my butt.”
“I, uh…I wasn’t looking at your butt.”
He just raised a brow and stared at her.
Tamara threw up her hands in surrender. “Okay, I looked at your butt!”
They stared at each other for a long moment before finally bursting out laughing. They laughed so hard and long that by the time they finished, Jess’s stomach muscles ached.
Catching his breath, he watched as Tamara wiped tears from her eyes and grinned at him.
He grinned back, staring into her gently slanted onyx eyes, so dark and shiny that they looked like polished jewels. He reached out to cup her face, moving his thumb in a caressing, circular motion over her high, pronounced cheekbone, transfixed by the softness of her skin, as soft and silky as it looked.
Jess bent his head, tilting it to the left as Tamara leaned forward and tilted her head to the right, meeting his lips and sealing them with hers.
He closed his eyes and groaned deep in his throat at the honeyed taste of her, sliding his hand to the back of her neck to collar her nape and draw her closer. He slid his tongue along the smooth surface of her teeth before dipping into her mouth, first experimentally, then driving his tongue against hers to taste her more fully.
Jess pictured her sitting on one of the comfortable burnt orange and cream sofas inside. He could see her beneath the dim lights of the lounge and amidst the sounds of the live band and DJ Hal warming up. He realized he didn’t want to share her with anyone—not with strangers, not with family, not now, maybe never. He just got used to having her to himself, and he really didn’t even have this, especially not once she found out he’d lied to her.

Twin Cowboys for Tamara

He pulled back, panting as he watched her kiss-swollen, slightly parted lips and closed eyes. Jess cupped her face just as she opened her eyes to look at him.
“Why did you stop?”
“Because I would have had you laid out on the backseat in another minute.”
“Did you hear me complaining?”
“Maybe not yet.”
“Trust me. I’ll let you know if I don’t like what you’re doing to me.”
“I’ll bet you would, Ms. Confident and Sure City Girl.”
“You have something against confident and sure city girls?”
Jess looked at the fist she automatically planted on her hip as she jutted her chin at him and grinned. “Don’t get your feathers all ruffled. I just made an observation. And, for the record, I have nothing against confident and sure city girls.” I don’t have a thing against them except when they leave and go back to the city .
“And, just to add to the record, I’m a city woman. ”
He nodded and doffed his hat with the appropriate amount of gravity and respect. “Won’t make that mistake again, ma’am.”
She chuckled and elbowed him in the ribs. “You are such a wiseass.”
He laughed, got out of his truck and engaged the automatic locks on the doors once Tamara exited on her side.
It amazed him how easily they had fallen into joking with and teasing each other. He couldn’t remember the last time he had laughed so much with anyone. He thought Jax would be proud of him.
Jax.
What would he do about his brother? He knew Jax would be all over Tamara once they got back to the ranch. His brother wouldn’t be able to help himself. She traveled right up his alley, but then again, anything with breasts and a vagina traveled up his brother’s alley. Jax wouldn’t let a little thing like a nine-year age gap overly concern him Ebook piracy is stealing. It is a federal offense.
