prove ineffective against the likes of one Holden Brooks. 
                  “Oh, Maddie. I see plenty of points…don’t you?” he asked, pushing in closer. His front was now brushing up against mine, and I was fighting hard to push air in and out without moaning.
                  “Not really.”
    Who the hell was I kidding?
                  “You don’t like makin’ new friends?” I could just push him off of me...cause a scene and really put him in his place. But I loved everything he was doing to me.
                  I wanted more.
                  “Yes, but I have a feelin’ you wanna be more than just friends.”
                  “You’re right. I do.” he rasped.
                  “That’s not gonna happen.”
                  “And why’s that?”
                  “Because.”
                  “You’re gonna have to do better than that, Maddie.”
                  “There’s no point in starting something we can’t finish.”
                  “You’re right,” Surprisingly, his words punched me right in the gut. “However, I believe everything happens for a reason. There’s a reason we met, there’s a reason you’re here tonight, and there’s a reason why I feel the way I do about you. I can’t ignore any of that. I won’t. I don’t fuck around with fate, Maddie. You shouldn’t either.”
                  Fate ?
                  “Aw, to hell with it.” he growled before his lips fused with mine.
                  Cinnamon and Holden flooded my mouth, drowning me with his intoxicating taste.  His hands found both sides of my neck as he plunged deeper inside my mouth. My hands clasped at the sides of his shirt, silently begging him for more. His hot tongue tangled with mine and it felt like a branding iron, searing his taste inside my mouth forever. His possessive kiss slowed, becoming more tender and sweet. His soft lips nipped and tugged at my mouth flawlessly. I was completely immersed in him. His mouth was addictive and fit perfectly with mine. I could spend hours kissing this man. With a final tug of my bottom lip, he ended the kiss. Then he whispered a kiss on my forehead before he walked away.
                  What the hell?
                  Once I caught my breath, I ambled up to the bar. “Where the hell have you been?” Katy asked.
    “Ladies’ room,” I replied, scanning the bar.
                  “Here.” She handed me a bottle of Bud Light. “Who are we lookin’ for?” Katy inquired, scanning the bar with me.
                  “Tell me everything you know about Holden
    Brooks?” I demanded.
                  “I was wonderin’ how long it would take before you asked about him.” she grinned around her bottle of bud.
                  “I’m just curious. He’s lived here for a while, right? I’m just surprised I haven’t met him before now.”
    Katy led us to an empty booth tucked away in the back. “That just goes to show you need to bring your ass home more often. Holden and Archer are cousins. Archer moved here about six years ago and Holden showed up a year later. They both have more money than God, some kind of family inheritance or something. Neither one of ‘em have to work, but they’re both work-a-holics. Holden is super sweet and always a gentleman. Archer is tough as nails and nowhere near gentle. You like ‘em don’t cha?” I didn’t know what to say. Of course I liked him. What’s not to like? He was perfectly annoying.
                  “He’s an asshole,” I muttered, tearing at the napkin wrapped around my beer.
                  “Asshole, huh? He didn’t look like he was being an asshole when he had his tongue buried in your mouth.”
                  “You
