“Two billionaire CEOs, a doctor and a pro hockey player?” She ticked them off with her fingers. “God, their parents must be proud.”
I went to the mirror and fiddled with my hair. Up? Down?
“They said their father died, but they weren’t the least bit upset by it. I guess he was an asshole. As for his mother, Mav mentioned–”
“Mav? It’s Mav now? I guess if he’s had his face between your thighs you can call him that.”
“–that she’s nice and interested in grandkids.”
I remembered my parents, although through the memories of a ten-year-old. They’d been in love. Were happy. Fun. My dad was a teacher, my mom a florist. I remember carpool and swim lessons. Skiing and sledding.
I would never have a relationship with them as an adult and I wondered if I’d think of them differently, like Lindy probably did, since she’d been twenty-three when they died.
“Don’t touch your hair,” she ordered. “Leave it down and don’t even think about putting it in a hair tie. I bet Mav will like it that way. So… back to his eating habits. He’s not done with you.”
I spun around to face her. She was hugging my rainbow pillow I’d gotten when I was twelve. “How do you know that?”
“You said you were interrupted by his brothers. Did he come?”
“No.”
“That man is either a superhero or has the worst case of blue balls.”
I hadn’t seen his balls, but his dick had been all kinds of hard.
“He’s not done with you.” She glanced at her watch. “Let’s get your makeup done. I can’t wait to meet Theo.”
“I think Dex is a better match,” I told her, although two hard-core extroverts getting together could be a natural disaster.
“We’re meeting him at the restaurant?”
I shrugged. “I guess so. We didn’t decide when he dropped me off.”
“Because you two were probably playing tonsil hockey at the door.”
I didn’t say anything because that was completely accurate.

MAVERICK
* * *
I knocked on Bridget’s front door to pick her up for dinner and waited. I’d been doing that for the past two hours since I dropped her off to shower and change clothes. I kissed her thoroughly but that hadn’t been enough. After what we did on my couch… fuck, I was going crazy. Craving to be with her. Aching to be in her.
Dinner plans could go fuck themselves because as soon as Bridget opened her door, I’d push her inside and make her come all over my cock in all the ways I’d imagined. And even though it had been a short time since we met, I had lots of ways.
My brothers could amuse themselves without us. Hunter Valley had plenty to keep them entertained that didn’t involve me or Bridget for the rest of the night. Or their time in the state.
But it wasn’t Bridget that answered, but a pretty blonde.
“Hello,” she said, her voice smooth and warm that matched her smile. I guessed her age to be close to mine. Mid-thirties. She wore a pretty green sundress, and her hair was pulled up and back somehow with wisps that artfully framed her face. Her makeup was light but expertly applied. She looked… perfect.
My mother would love her.
I took in the house again, confirming I didn’t accidentally knock on the wrong one. My dick had been in charge earlier and it was driving me now.
“Hi. Um, I’m here for Bridget.”
