Town of Chance_ Believing in Love(30)

She felt Burker caress her back.

“You okay, sweetie?” Parker asked her. She needed to get a grip and slow things down a bit. She eased back.

“Definitely okay,” she said to him and Parker smiled. Burker had his hand on her hip behind her. He pushed her pony tail to the side and kissed her neck.

“We want to take you out to lunch. Meet up with Lynch and Tazer a little later when they get back from business,” he said and kissed her ear and then a sensitive spot on her neck. She closed her eyes and leaned back against him. When she felt his hard erection against her back her eyes popped open.

“Oh. Okay, that sounds nice but I need to shower first.”

“We’ll wait for you,” Parker said and glanced over her body.

“Uhm, like here, in my living room while I shower?” she questioned.

Burker ran his hand along her waist pulling her closer again. He gave her ass a tap and she was shocked at how much that little move excited her and aroused her.

“Baby, we’re your guardians. We’re here to protect you and soon we’ll be even more than that. Trust us.”

She started up into his eyes and blinked a few times.

“Burker, I’m just not used to this. Not used to men in my apartment, and definitely not while I’m showering and after we kissed the way we just did.”

“We could join you instead then,” Parker said to her and she was shocked as her eyes widened. But then he plopped down onto her couch and reached for the remote control. She felt Burker’s large hand caress back and forth over her ass and hip.

“We’re gentlemen. We’ll stay right here,” he said and then reached up and stroked her cheek with his finger, tilting her chin toward him.

“Unless you decide while you’re in the shower that you want company. Then we’ll come in,” he teased and winked.

She gave him a snort and pursed her lips. He smiled. Before she could say anything he turned her around and gave her ass a little bit harder of a spank.

“Get moving, we want to take you to a place about thirty minutes from here.”

She took a deep breath and looked at the two gods in her living room and wondering how the hell she was going to handle the two of them, never mind four when Lynch and Tazer joined them. They were lethal, and so suave. But damn, did they know how to kiss, and make her want things she only dreamed about.

“What’s the name?” she asked, slowly moving toward the hallway.

“Connolly’s.” Burker placed his hands on his hips and squinted at her. She widened her eyes and took two more steps toward the hallway. He was so military. Giving her an order to get showered and ready and here she was asking questions. He looked incredibly sexy. Dark shirt stretched across solid muscles. His crew cut hair and wide shoulders were a sight and his jeans snug on his muscular thighs as well as in the crotch.

“You keep staring at me like that, Eliza Grace, and you’ll have company in that shower.”

She gasped. “What’s the dress code? Last question,” she asked, trying to clear her mind of the dirty thoughts going through her head.

“Wear one of those pretty skirts,” Parker told her very seriously.

“And a top with buttons,” Burker teased.

She asked for those kinds of responses.

“I’ll wear whatever I feel like wearing. Don’t leave my living room,” she said and then headed into the bedroom before grabbing towels for her shower.

Parker whistled low the moment Eliza Grace disappeared into her room.

“How the hell are we supposed to act all calm and bring her on a date when all I want to do is take her to bed?” Parker said and ran his hand through his hair and exhaled. He leaned back on the couch, legs stretched, and ran his hands up and down his thighs.

Burker chuckled.

“She is so damn sweet. It was hard not to peel that sexy, tight running outfit off of her.”

“In the SUV you were carrying on about how she needed training and to be aware of her surroundings. You bit the woman’s head off before you even hit the brakes.”

“I was pissed off, okay, and so were you. You were the one that looked at your watch and timed how long it was before she noticed us following her. She never did. She should get punished for that.”

“Yeah, try it and see how that goes over. It’s just another thing to prove she needs us. She needs taking care of. She’s been so busy with work and everything, she probably looks at running as a way to clear her head.”

“Well, she can clear her head but she still needs to be aware of what’s going on around her,” Burker added and then looked around the small apartment. It was neat, aside from a table that had a lot of magazines and folders on it. As he looked around and started opening them up he felt his heart begin to race. They were pictures of Eliza Grace. The first few eight-by-tens were of her on a balcony overlooking the beach. She wore a strapless one piece dress that hugged her figure so tight he could see how thin her waist was and how large her breasts were. The very high heeled shoes she wore, he thought women called them wedges, made her legs look toned and long. He followed the curves with his eyes and landed on her ass that stuck out from behind. She looked like a sexual goddess.
