“You think you’ve got me figured out?” I mimicked.
“Closer to doing so than you’d like me to be. Five more minutes on that base, and I’d have had her topless right there.”
His arrogance sliced through me, letting fury spill free. I grabbed his bare arm and dug my fingers into wiry, corded muscle.
Sawyer didn’t look concerned.
“You think so?” Evie’s voice startled me. She’d emerged from the bathroom and was wearing an oversized T-shirt that almost hung past the edge of her cut-offs. “You were so far from getting in my panties…”
Sawyer jerked free from my grip and turned to face her. “I call bullshit. You were wet before the rain started, and long before the two of you made it out of his SUV. Which, I don’t have to be any sort of observant genius to guess what you were up to. I walked right past the two of you steaming up windows like a dry cleaner’s.”
Good. Fucker.
“And you think she yielded to me because… Why? You warmed her up?” I asked.
Sawyer shrugged. “Your words.”
“Does that usually work for you?” Evie countered. “The arrogance?”
“It was starting to with you,” Sawyer said.
Evie shook her head. “No. It wasn’t.”
It had been, though. He intrigued Evie. The puzzle she couldn’t solve at a glance. The problem with the Sawyer-puzzle was he resembled a box with gold inlaid designs. The kind that summoned demons when solved. It’s not hands that call us, but desire.
“Fine.” The smugness lingered in Sawyer’s voice. “No one had any fun except me. I definitely shouldn’t have interrupted what you two were up to. Don’t let me stop you from picking up where you left off. Go ahead. I don’t mind.” He settled onto the edge of Evie’s bed.
God this man was infuriating. Could I punch him here and now and get away with it? Evie would back me up if the police got involved. It was justifiable.
Evie’s nostrils flared in irritation. “The problem with guys like you is that your ego is bigger than your dick, and the only thing more disappointing than the misplaced self-confidence is your performance in bed.”
My snort slipped out, and I didn’t make any effort to stop it.
But the unflappable Sawyer’s feathers had been ruffled. Finally. His smirk vanished and he was on his feet again. “Really? You think your homegrown farm boy is better at fucking than me?”
I’d guarantee it. But my word didn’t matter here.
“Yes,” Evie said. “I’d bet my entire stack of casino chips that you’re just bad in bed.”
Another reason to adore her.
Sawyer crossed the room to her in a few short strides, and pinned her to the wall with his whole body as he pressed his hand to her throat. “I would ruin you for anyone else.”
I was already moving, to yank him away. To physically throw him out of the room.
“Prove it.” Evie’s words stopped me in my tracks.

Evie
Inside me were two Evies.
One was logical. Smart. Knew from her time in the Marines that it was a mistake to step between two men involved in a dick measuring contest.
The other knew that she was the measuring stick, and had locked the first in the closet to shut her up. The most gorgeous man in my hometown and the equally sexy stranger from out of town each wanted a chance to prove they could give me a better orgasm.
The way Sawyer’s thumb pressed against the vein in my neck with just enough pressure to tease, the way Gage looked ready to rip him to shreds for daring to touch me…
