After the meal was finished, the dance floor on the other side of the room darkened and the haunting strains of the band whispered around them.
Chase leaned close. “Dance with me?” he asked.
She sniffed at the thought. She had no desire to dance with either of them. She wanted out of here as quickly as possible, before years of planning were destroyed.
She had known what she had to do to declaw the Robertses, and it was just her misfortune that Cam and Chase had to be right here in Virginia at the same time. She could have used just a few weeks advance notice, she thought furiously.
“You can dance with me or you can dance with Cam,” he said then. “And we both know how Cam gets when he has questions, don’t we sweetheart? You’ll fare a hell of a lot better with me. ”
She stared back at him mutinously, only to have him grip her hand and pull her from the table. Short of causing a public scene, she had no choice but to follow behind him.
“This is called force,” she pointed out, careful to keep her voice low, as he pulled her against his chest and gripped her hand in his.
He grunted at the accusation. “It’s called the better part of valor,” he argued. “Cam’s getting tenser by the moment. Better to give him something to focus on for a while, other than Richard Roberts. ”
And he was focused on her. She could feel his eyes stroking over her, and when she caught a glimpse of them, it was to see his expression flicker with a subtle sensuality. He had no problem seeing her in his brother’s arms, that was a certainty. And it turned her on. Turned her on enough that she let her body relax, let herself give in to him.
She felt his erection pressing against the soft silk covering her lower stomach.
They moved around the floor and she glanced over at Cam. He stared back at her, shadows moving around him, intensifying the hunger in his eyes.
“He watches you like a wolf watches his mate,” Chase murmured in her ear. “He always has, Jaci. Since you were sixteen years old and he dragged your ass out of that first party. Do you know, each time his leave was up he would make me swear to watch after you?”
She shook her head. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from Cam’s. She didn’t want to. Right here, she could feel Chase’s hard body against hers, his arousal heating the air around her, and Cam’s need reaching out to them.
As Cam watched, the music changed. The soft, slow tune became faster, almost Latin, a sexual mix of music filling the air.
And he knew what was coming. His teeth clenched, his body tensed as Chase pulled Jaci into his arms and swung her into a sensual, hip-rubbing rhythm. A simple routine, but sexual, sexy. He turned her to him, turned her against him. Her hips swung, brushed Chase’s and Cam felt his dick harden in his pants.
Chase loved dancing to the Latin beats, and Cam knew Jaci loved to dance. Her expression became sensually distant. Her gaze stayed locked with his whenever possible, her body moved and she teased. She teased Chase. And she was teasing him.
Jaci felt the blood pounding in her veins as Chase’s hands slid down her sides then up. His fingertips brushed the rounded curves of her breasts, then slid to her hips, turned her, caught her. He pulled her to one side, to the other, her lower stomach brushing his erection with each swing of her hips as he lifted her arms with his, turned her again, brought her back to his chest and she made certain she teased.
She rubbed her ass against him, watched Cam, and let him see, know her pleasure. With each look, with each move of her hips she gave him a sensual view into the pleasures they shared, letting him see her pleasure, letting him experience it.
His gaze never left hers; his expression never wavered in its sensual, sexual demand.
As Chase turned her again, twined her arms around his neck, the music shifted once more, slower, a whisper of sex and a throb of lust. She moved against him, forward, backward. When she stared into his eyes, she saw Cam’s. As she buried her hands in his soft black hair, it was Cam’s. She touched Cam, and she desired this too sexy, too dark brother of his.
“You know what we’re doing?” His lips quirked as he watched her. “Cam’s going to be insane for you, Jaci. ”
“That’s what we’re doing,” she admitted, staring over his shoulder, seeing Cam’s shadowed face, his eyes, bright, lit with wicked hunger.
“Not the way to gain what you’re looking for. ” Her lashes fluttered as his lips touched her neck. Pleasure was a cascade of color behind her closed lashes, it was an ache, a need, it was the thought of one man and his touch, and the knowledge that another man could spur her pleasure as well.
When she looked at Cam again, it was to see him moving, striding to them, his expression dark, forbidding, laced with lust and with need.
Chase stepped back, gave her a mocking grin, and Cam took her in his arms. His hands gripped her hips as the beat of the music grew slower, even more sensual. It was like making love in public. It was like touching and being touched, finally having a part of him, just to herself.
He stared into her eyes, he held her to him, and they swayed, rocking to the music, and Jaci felt herself coming alive for him.
“I love you, Cam. ”
His expression tightened, his eyes darkened. “I love you, Jaci. ” He pulled her closer, tucking her head to his chest, holding her, moving with her. “I love you. ”23

Once they returned to the table, Jaci and Courtney escaped to the ladies’ room. She wasn’t unaware of the fact that Cam followed behind them until they entered the inner sanctum. He was watching her, protecting her. He was blowing all her plans to hell, and she knew it.
