confident in herself. I could tell by the way she held her head up
a little, her shoulders back.
"Damn," I mumbled and followed
her back to her table. Three other girls sat with her, each of them pretty in
their own way, but nothing compared to her. "Hey, girls. I'm Brody."
The one from the dock earlier smiled and
extended her hand to me. "I'm Emily. Nice to meet you, Brody."
"Ahh... The pretty girl that helped
me out of the lake when her friend denied me so coldly." I gave a puppy
dog look and the other two laughed.
"You didn't need help." Hottie
glanced up at me. "And, we're not buying what you're selling."
"I might be." The dark-skinned
beauty beside her extended her hand. "I'm Dedra. Whatcha selling,
exactly?"
"And, I'm Cindy. Are you here with
friends, or do you want to join us?" The redhead at the table moved over
like she was going to share her chair with me.
"No!" The only girl at the table
whose name I wanted spoke up, sounding rather pissy. Surprise, surprise.
"He's got friends. He can sit with them."
"I'll leave you girls in peace. I
just wanted to invite you to a big party that Clint's throwing up at the
mansion in town." I turned my attention back to her, studying her dark
eyes and distrusting glare.
"We were invited by Clint last
night." Dedra glanced around. "Where are your friends? You should get
them. We love meeting new people."
"No, I want us to spend time
together. We just got here." Hottie looked around at her friends with a
look that had to be girl code for get rid of this dick.
"What's the deal, Cora? He seems nice
enough." Emily smiled over at me.
"Cora, huh? Awesome. I'll leave you
ladies in peace. See you tonight." I turned without another word, loving
like hell the look on Cora's face when she realized I'd gotten the only thing I
was after for the moment.
Her name.

"Damn. Really, guys?" I glanced
around at my friends as anger burned through me.
"What?" Dedra turned her
attention to me, but seemed to have to force herself to do it.
"I didn't want him to know my
name." I ran my fingers through my hair and settled back in my seat.
"I hate guys like him. He reminds me of Brandon through and through."
"Because he's as hot as sin?" Emily
glanced over at me. "Maybe you should go for the nerdy type this time. I'm
thinking Brody needs a girl like me to teach him a lesson."
Dedra snorted. "You? I'm thinking
me."
"I'd let him in my bed for the night
for sure." Cindy turned and shrugged. "What? He's wicked hot. I bet
his chest and abs are chiseled out. I love that. It's fun to let your tongue-”
"Okay. Thank you very much." I
lifted my hand and shook my head. "None of you are allowed near Brody.
He's probably the town whore. He's got it written all over him. I've run into
him twice since getting here, and each time he's with a new woman."
"Maybe he's just not found the right
one?" Emily asked and gave me a pleading look.
"No. He's a whore." I moved back
as our burgers were delivered. It took everything inside of me not to look
around for him. His dark blue shirt fit him beautifully and accentuated his
green eyes and blond hair. As much as I wanted to not be interested, I couldn't
help the way my body reacted to his attention. He wasn't getting anything from
me. Not my attention, my time, or my lusty thoughts.
Yeah,
right.
"Do you think he has friends that
look like him?" Dedra stood up and looked around, showing her lack of
shame.
"Sit down. Jeez." I tugged her
back down and picked up my burger. "What's wrong with you guys? You know that
type of guy is everywhere. Are you seriously interested in a one-night stand?"
Cindy smirked. "With him? Yes."
"Me, too." Emily popped a french
fry into her mouth as she wagged her eyebrows.
I turned to look at Dedra, pleading with
her with my expression. "Come on, D."
"Oh, hell no." She shook her
head.
"Finally. Someone with sense in their
heads." I took a deep bite of my burger as she continued.
"No, I meant oh
