“Are you sure he’s worth all this?” I asked.
“I’m sure,” she said firmly.
“Then we’ll trust you on that,” I said. “No ass kickings for Colt.”
“Yet,” Beck added, and the dark tone of his voice made my balls tingle. I might be the one who was taking charge in the bedroom, but Beckett never shied away from taking control of a situation when needed. He let me push him around in bed because he wanted to. If that ever changed, I’d be the one spread wide with fingers buried in my ass.
Fuck. I needed to stop thinking about sex before Andi noticed something weird was going on.
“You can stay here as long as you need,” Beckett was saying, the conversation moving on while my mind spiraled into X-rated fantasy. “We don’t mind. Right, Wes?”
I hesitated only a beat before I nodded.
Beckett excused himself to head for the shower, and I quickly made an excuse to head for my bedroom so I could catch him before he reached the bathroom. Halfway down the hall, I grabbed his elbow and steered him into my room.
As soon as the door shut, I pinned him against it and kissed him.
“If we hurry, we can still do this.”
Beckett’s eyes went comically wide. “No, we can’t. Andi is right out there.”
“But I want you,” I grumbled, sounding petulant. “Maybe I could sneak into the shower…”
“Wes.” Beckett shook his head, eyes too focused for my liking. When they were glazed over by lust I could get him to do almost anything. But when he was thinking clearly… “We can’t do this right now. Not with Andi so close. You know these walls are paper thin.”
“But—”
He kissed me, but softly. Briefly. Then swiped this thumb over my bottom lip as he smiled at me. “Our time will come. We just have to be patient, right? We’ve spent all this time resisting each other. What’s one more evening?”
“It’s too much,” I complained, even though I knew Beckett was right. We couldn’t risk being found out.
“Andi needs us tonight,” Beckett said, going in for the boner killer. “She’s hurting, and we need to be sensitive to that.”
I groaned. “Oh, sure, use my sister against me.”
Beckett chuckled and smoothed my hair back from my face. “Don’t act like you don’t care about her. I know you do.”
The move was so gentle it made my heart squeeze, a sweet ache spreading through me. I wanted this man so damn bad, and not just because he was sexy, but because he genuinely cared about people. So much, he’d put his needs aside for Andi, or me, or anyone else without a second thought.
“Of course I care,” I said, admitting defeat. “If Andi needs us, we’ll be there. It’s just one night, right?”
“Right,” Beckett confirmed, before slipping out of the room to start the shower.
Except it wasn’t just one more night. It was three.
And by then, I was the one squirming helplessly.
CHAPTER15
BECKETT
“What isthe only US state with a Spanish motto?”
Bobbi read the words displayed on the television screen as part of trivia night at The Stag Pub. Our team, the Smarty Pints—formerly called Ho & Bros but renamed to be more child-friendly when Clark got involved with a dad—was gathered around two tables in the center of the room.
“That’s got to be Texas, right?” she guessed. “They’re so close to Mexico.”
“Don’t think so,” Hunter said, then glanced toward Clark. “Do you know this one, angel?”
