“He wants more.”
I rolled my eyes and turned to him. “He’s like one of my brothers. And just as overprotective.”
Brett cupped the back of my neck, running his thumb up and down the side, sending shivers over my skin. “Oh, I know.”
I huffed. “Did he threaten you?”
Brett smiled. “He tried to.”
My belly churned. What was it with the men in my life trying to control my every move? “I swear…wait. Does he know about…” I motioned between us.
Brett’s eyes twinkled. “Does he know about what, Evvie?”
I swallowed as his voice lowered. “Us?”
His blue gaze bored into mine as he ran a thumb over my bottom lip. “Is there an us?”
“Well I didn’t think so, but…”
Brett trailed a finger down my arm. “But what?”
Goose bumps spread on my skin as he reached for my hand. “I refuse to be one of your whores, Brett.”
“You won’t be, but I want you for one night. No commitments, Evvie.”
I bit my bottom lip. “Just one night?”
He winked. “For now.”
I watched as he curled his hand in mine, linking our fingers together. “Take me on a date first.” I regretted the words as soon as they left my lips when Brett stiffened beside me. I pulled out of his grasp and moved to leave the booth when a heavy arm wrapped around my middle.
“You want to go on a date with me, Evvie?”
My eyes fluttered closed as his hot breath warmed my neck. “Do you want to sleep with me, Brett?”
“No.”
My eyes shot open. “You said—”
His grip on my arm tightened. “I want to fuck you, Evvie. All night. There will be no sleep.”
I looked up at him. “Then go on a date with me.”
“People will see us,” he said, a teasing lilt to his voice.
I licked my lips. “Does that bother you?”
Brett ran his thumb over my mouth. “Does it bother you?”
I grabbed his hand and nibbled his thumb as it passed over my lips. I smirked as his nostrils flared. “Friday night. Pick me up at eight.”
Brett MacLean didn’t do dates. I didn’t know what had happened but rumors were that he got hurt and sworn off relationships altogether.
He curled his hand around the back of my neck. “Evvie,” he purred.
My lips parted, my pink tongue peeking out. I licked my bottom lip as I let out a breath. With a shaky hand, I cupped his cheek, running my thumb over his bottom lip. Just that soft caress made my blood hum.
His dark eyes bored into mine, watching me. In a quick move, he covered my mouth in a bruising kiss, diving deep inside me. A growl erupted from the back of his throat as he devoured my mouth.
“Does it make you wet?” he asked, placing a hand on my knee. He inched it under my skirt, making my breath catch.
“Does what make me wet?” I breathed.
He bit my chin. “Does it make you wet knowing that soon I’ll be spending the night between your legs?”
My heart jumped and a moan escaped my lips as he licked his way back into my mouth. God, I couldn’t get enough of the sweet velvet of his tongue. I pushed against his, rubbing, devouring as I tried to take control. My stomach flipped. I would never been in control.
He squeezed my inner thigh and placed a soft kiss on my lips before releasing me.
I sighed. My eyes were heavy from unadulterated lust for the man sitting beside me.
“You’re so beautiful.”
My cheeks heated. “I should go.”
He nodded and brought my hand up to his lips, placing a soft kiss on my knuckles. “I’ll text you.”
I watched his mouth caress my skin. “You don’t have my number.”
“It’s in your work file,” he replied, brushing a thumb over the back of my hand.
I smiled. “Checking up on me?”
Brett smirked, wrapped a hand around my wrist, and leaned down to my ear. “I like knowing who calls me an asshole,” he breathed against my neck.
I laughed.
He lifted my hand to his lips. “Until Friday night, Evvie.”
My mouth parted as he placed another soft kiss on my knuckles, before releasing me once again. As soon as he let me go, my body hummed, needing to touch him again.
Brett frowned and cleared his throat.
“Bye Brett,” I husked and pulled the curtains open. My back stiffened when I saw my brother standing in front of me.
I stared up into big blue eyes that matched our father’s. Big, blue and surrounded by long blonde lashes.
Evan’s strong jaw twitched as he looked over my shoulder. “What the hell are you doing here, Evvie?”
I rose to my full height and looked up at my oldest brother’s cold stare. “I work here.”
