life.”
    Whatever he was about to say was lost when Mo and Kat appeared. “My team lost,” Mo said, grinning. She glanced at her watch. “Tomorrow is a workday so we figured it’s time to go.”
    Great timing, Hunter thought, and she stood.
    Tyson stood as well and shoved his hands into his pockets. “I’ll take you home, Hunter, if you aren’t ready to leave just yet.”
    If he thought for one minute she would go with him, especially after admitting his plan to seduce her, he wasn’t thinking straight. “Thanks, but I am ready. It was good seeing you again, Tyson.”
    â€œSame here, Hunter,” he said, and she thought she saw something akin to amusement in his eyes. “I have a feeling we’ll be running into each other again.”
    Hunter hoped not. She had enough to worry about with her parents, without being concerned about Tyson Steele trying to get her into bed. “Good night.” She walked toward the door with Mo and Kat, feeling the heat of Tyson’s gaze on her backside.
    As soon as they were out the door she turned to her friends. “Why on earth did the two of you leave me alone with Tyson?”
    Kat grinned. “Because we knew you could handle him.”
    â€œBesides, it was quite obvious you were the one on his radar and not us,” Mo added. “So how did it go?”
    Hunter shook her head. “You guys were right. Nothing has changed with Tyson. He’s still looking for a pair of legs to get between.”
    â€œAnd you didn’t make yours available to him again?” Kat asked, grinning. “What a shame.”
    â€œFor him I’m sure it was, especially since he told me of his plan to seduce me.”
    Mo’s eyes widened. “He actually told you that?”
    â€œWithout cracking a smile or blinking an eye.”
    Both Mo and Kat stopped walking to stare at her. “You don’t sound worried.”
    Hunter stopped and glanced at her friends, lifting a brow. “Why would I be?”
    â€œWe’re talking about Tyson Steele, Hunter. The man who’s known to get what he wants. I heard from women that he’s so smooth you won’t miss your panties until they’re gone. And for him to already have a plan of seduction for you sounds serious.”
    â€œOnly in his book, not mine.”
    Kat tilted her head. “And this from a woman who’s gone without sex for two years now.”
    â€œActually four. If you recall, Carter and I slept in separate bedrooms for two years before our divorce. You can’t miss what you never got on a regular basis anyway. I haven’t had an orgasm in so long I’ve honestly forgotten how it feels.”
    â€œThen you’re in luck,” Mo said with a huge smile on her face. “There are quite a few women around town who claim the orgasms those Bad News Steeles give a girl can blow her mind to smithereens and have her begging for more. Rumor has it that you haven’t truly been made love to unless it’s been by a Steele. They’re supposed to be just that good in the bedroom.”
    Hunter rolled her eyes. “I’m sure it’s nothing more than a lot of hype.”
    â€œBut what if it’s not?” Kat asked seriously. “And just think. One of those Bad News Steeles has plans to seduce you. If Tyson succeeds then you’ll never forget how an orgasm feels again.”
    â€œWhatever,” Hunter said as they resumed walking. By the time they reached the car, Hunter decided whatever plan Tyson thought he had for her was no big deal, since she doubted their paths would cross again anyway. And even if they did, she was certain it was just like she’d told Mo and Kat. All those rumors about the Steeles were probably nothing more than a lot of hype.

    â€œIs there a reason you’re visiting me this time of night, Tyson?” Eli Steele asked gruffly, moving aside for his brother to enter
