A groan burned in Jace’s chest. “I’m sure she did.”
“She’s pretty invested in her boss’s happiness. Can’t blame her. Friends like that are hard to come by. So what gives?”
He cut a hand over his face. “It isn’t top secret or anything. It was just a good excuse to stick close to Bronte without letting her clients or employees know what’s really going on inside the company.”
“Gotcha. So you didn’t propose?”
“No.”
Jaren shrugged. “Momma will be sorry to hear that. She was excited to get a new daughter-in-law.”
He leaped out of the way as Jace attempted to land a right hook on his face.
“You better not have brought this up to Mom!”
Jaren danced away like the little pansy he was. He made it to the door but luckily Jace’s three-lock system slowed him down and he was able to ram his shoulder into Jaren, knocking him off-balance.
They were in the middle of a scuffle, and he had Jaren in a headlock, when a sound of a very feminine throat being cleared came from a few feet away.
They stopped. Jace cracked an eye around his brother’s body and saw Bronte standing there in that sexy green robe, arms folded and bare toes tapping on the floor.
Jace shoved his brother away from him, and Jaren managed to turn the third lock and escape.
As Jace secured the condo again, he tried to compose himself, but after seeing that tantalizing flash of thigh, his cock was starting to swell.
“What exactly was going on here?” Bronte’s throaty voice brought his cock to full mast.
He swung to face her, already knowing he was a goner before he locked eyes with her. “Just a brotherly moment.”
“Uh-huh. Looked like you were trying to pop his head off with your biceps.”
“That too.” He sent her a sheepish grin that she returned.
The lust pounding through his body wasn’t letting up. He needed to put some distance between them, and the wall of the guest room wasn’t going to do the trick.
Last time a closed bathroom door hadn’t even kept her out of his arms.Fuck.
The way she eyed him up left no question in his mind what sort of thoughts were floating through hers. A hungry look crossed her face, and her breaths came faster, which only made her breasts push against her folded arms.
Hell.He wasn’t going to stop this, was he?
He lunged forward just as she hurled herself at him.
Clamping his hands on her full ass, he lifted her so she wrapped her thighs around his waist. Their mouths collided in a burning kiss.
He angled his head to plunge his tongue between her lips. She parted them on a cry and came back at him by swiping her sweet tongue across his. A primal growl rumbled from him.
As he navigated toward her bedroom, something got tangled around his feet and he almost pitched them both to the floor.
“Damn cat,” he muttered.
She giggled. “Hemingway, scat!”
The cat turned up his smashed nose and slinked off.
“You insulted him.” Jace caught her lower lip and sucked.
A soft moan was her only response. In seconds, he had the cat firmly shut out of her room and Bronte tossed onto the mattress. The green robe rode up her thighs, and his gaze arrowed between them.
