Here, let me help ya. Strong hands came around her waist at the same time the man spoke. His hard chest pressed against her back, causing her to freeze and her heart race.

He smelled so good, like faint cologne and leather. God, he smelled of leather, she thought as he easily lifted her so she could retrieve the brush. The smell of leather was the ultimate turn-on for her. Sabrina quickly grabbed the brush and waited for the stranger to set her down so she could see his face.

Instead, he lowered her slowly to the ground as he said in a low, husky voice, its deep timbre skidding down her spine, I dont think Id ever be allowed on this property again He paused and let go of her waist with one hand so he could push her heavy braid away from her neck as he finished with a whisper in her ear, if Colt knew the impure thoughts running through my head right now.

Sabrinas heart slammed in her chest at her reaction to this man, a man shed yet to see, a man who had the hots for Elise, big time!

As she started to speak, the man set her away from him saying in a gruff tone, Im sorry, Elise. I shouldnt have said that.

Sabrina turned around, saying, Well, I guess its a good thing Im not Elise, so those impure thoughts can just stay between you and me.

When she let her gaze scan the mans six-feet-tall form, the first thing that came to mind was definitely impure thoughts Did he ever trip her triggerwow!

Kev gave a low chuckle that caused Nicole to shiver beneath him. Finally got you where I want you, he murmured close to her ear, causing the fine hairs to rise on her neck again.

Nothing doing. She was not going to have anything to do with Kev, no matter that shed made the bet. Not that her cousins would even know.

Nicole rose up and pushed him away from her. You just back off, Kev Grand.

She twisted aroundand found his face just inches from hers, his arms on either side of her, still braced on the trunk. For a moment she couldnt move, couldnt think. Hed shaved off his mustache, but he looked just as hard-edged and weathered, and just as much of a bad boy as ever.

His straw Stetson shaded his hazel eyes so that all she could see was his angular jaw, his firm lips, and his tanned face. Damn, but a man in a Stetson turned her on. With one finger he pushed up the brim of his hat. She caught her breath as his gaze settled on her lips, then slowly traveled down to her full cleavage, her breasts nearly spilling out of her tight little dress. Her eyes followed his to her nipples, which were hard and oh-so-obvious through the thin material.

His gaze returned to hers and his mouth quirked into a sexy grin. Why, Nicole Landford, I do believe youve got the hots for me.

You wish. She tossed her hair over her shoulder. Cocky sonofabitch.

Kevs eyes fixed on her breasts again. He raised his hand and brushed his knuckles across her nipples in a slow movement.

Nicoles knees went weak. In that instant, she could picture him hiking up her dress and placing her bare ass on the trunk of her vette. Hed drive his cock into her pussy and fuck her like there was no tomorrow.

His gaze met hers again, and there was definitely smugness mixed with desire in his eyes. He knew exactly what he was doing to her, exactly what she was thinking.

And that pissed her off.

Bastard. Nicole slammed her fist into Kevs gut, her knuckles coming into contact with his solid abs.

He didnt even flinch. Instead he grabbed her hand and drew her tight against him, so tight she could feel his erection against her belly, right through his Wranglers.

Like it hard and rough, do you, hon? He blocked her arms against her sides, grabbed her ass and pressed her tighter against his cock. I always knew you would.

Nicole swallowed. Kev was talking like he knew all her fantasieshow she wanted a man to take control rather than always being the one to push things to the limit.

I cant believe they talked me into wearing this, Lily muttered as she wriggled in the airline seat, the satin thong slipping even further up her rear. Who ever heard of wearing a micro mini on a three-hour plane flight?

Insanity. Total and absolute insanity.

She eyed the middle-aged businessman next to her. Immaculate and comfortable in his sensible gray suit, Lily envied him. And despite her Im-an-available-whore attire, hed been a perfect gentleman.

Which proved the point shed made to Nic and Bri. It didnt matter how they dressed her up, or more appropriately, slutted her down, Lily Whitman just didnt exude sex appeal.

As to that ridiculous bet

Lily flicked another glance at Mr. Perfect Suit. Nope. No vibes. No trigger tripping as Bri would have put it. Thank God. How many times had she promised her cousins that she wouldnt welch on their wager? Ten, at least. Maybe more.

No welching, Lil, Bri had said with that Ill-make-you-pay-if-you-flake-out look. If you get cold feet, call us, and well set those beautiful tootsies back on the path of lust and self-gratification, got it?

Self-gratification, right. Lily was perfectly gratified by her job as Southwestern Artifacts Curator at the Bisbee Museum. Sure, cleaning up, cataloging and presenting early southwestern artifacts wasnt the most glamorous job, but it had its perks. Lily was always keen to travel locales across the western United States to analyze finds, and in some cases, purchase them for the museum. And then there was the fact that she was simply passionate about early American history. Especially Native American history.

Not trustworthy, Lily grumbled to herself as the pilot finally announced their stop, which earned her a glance from Mr. Suit. She gave him a quick smile before squeezing past him. Excuse me, Lily murmured. He smiled and moved into the aisle as she reached overhead for her laptop, the four inch heels Nichole had strapped her in wobbling like crazy. Finally wrenching the laptop free of the other briefcases crammed into the small space, Lily turned.

Only to find Mr. Suit had been staring all googlie-eyed at her legs and ass.

As his eyes finally made the trek to her face, he flashed an oily smile. Lilys first thought was to curl her lip and push past the asshole, but her cousins disapproving faces filled her mind. Reacting in her normal fashion wasnt part of the deal, and if she wasnt going to follow through, why come at all?
