you’ll prove is we’ll have a grave to stand
over instead of chasing the storms,” Snyder added.
“Why do you two care what I do?” Frustration saturated her
voice and it broke Snyder’s heart to hear her talk like this.
The last thing he wanted to do was mourn this woman when he,
and his partner, cared so much for her. They hadn’t worked up the courage to
tell her what they wanted because they were afraid it would change the course
of their friendship. One look at her at this very moment and he decided maybe
he had the courage after all.
Snyder glanced at Tripp and wasn’t surprised to see the wide
smile on his lover’s handsome face. He was glad to see Tripp confirm something
they’d discussed for the past few months, it made this so much easier knowing
he was right there beside him.
Snyder cleared his throat. “Then we’ll have one less person
to care for too.”
Kate snorted softly and rubbed her finger under her nose,
wiping away some of the dirt. “Whatever.”
Snyder’s hand slipped around her waist when she started to
move away. “Kate.”
She turned and met their gazes, studying them both intently
for a few minutes before speaking. “You’re kidding, right? Someone put you two
up to this. Some kind of ‘let’s play a joke on the boss’ thing. Payback because
of what just happened. I don’t have time for this—”
Snyder’s grip tightened. She had to understand this wasn’t
just some ruse to lighten the mood. “No, Kate. Tripp and I are serious. We want
you between us and not just during a chase.”
“We’ve watched you take risks for years,” Tripp added. “Now
we’re stepping in and asking you to stop because—”
“What? You two feel some kind of need to fuck me? Seriously,
where is the camera?” She smiled and shook her head in disbelief.
Snyder frowned. The stress of the day had obviously taken
its toll. “No cameras. No joke.” To show her they meant business, he nudged
closer to her body, not stopping until he’d backed her against his truck.
He caged her in with his arms, feeling the indentions the
hailstones marked in the body of the truck. Right now, he was unconcerned for
the bodywork the vehicle would need and more concerned about the sensuous
curves of the body pressed against his.
“Naked. Between us. Right now.”
Her grin faltered and she appeared genuinely surprised.
“Never would have taken you two for exhibitionists.”
Tripp clicked his tongue. “A smartass comment? Sounds as if
it may be too much for someone and she’d rather make a mockery of what we
want.”
Her gaze cut to him. “Don’t think I can handle you both?”
Snyder heard the catch in her breath as she spoke and
noticed the glimmer in her eyes. They had her hook, line and sinker.
Time to reel her in.
“Prove it.”
Her eyebrow lifted. “Is that a dare?”
The teasing smile she gave made it hard for him to think of
anything other than kissing those luscious lips just inches away from his
mouth. He reached down to lift her leg, caressing her knee as he wrapped the
long, slim length of her limb around his waist. Tripp moved closer and Snyder
watched her eyes glaze over as Tripp’s hand skimmed over her hip and slid down
to cup her buttock.
A second later, Snyder hissed softly as the tips of Tripp’s
fingers grazed over the zipper of his jeans. He pushed his hips forward in
response, pressing Tripp’s fingers hard against her. He grinned as Kate’s head
fell back against the truck’s window and she let loose a soft moan. His lips
cruised over her neck, scenting lavender soap under the layers of fresh dirt
clinging to her skin.
“Not a dare. A promise.”
His arms tightened around her. He gave a grunt when she
lifted her head and her mouth closed hard over his.
He’d expected her to lash out and call him vicious,
inventive names he could use later whenever the next hurricane tried to rip his
plane out of the sky. His heart pounded as her mouth crushed over his to
