hair.  No, he’d never hear the end of this one.
    While Ban rubbed his head with one hand, he grabbed the ball from the ground at his feet.  Nik knew exactly what he had in mind.  “Don’t even think about it.”
    “That crazy heifer hit me in the head! 
Twice
!”
    She put her feet between the bars and leaned far over, “Who the hell are you calling heifer, slow boy from down the lane?”
    “She sure did hit ya,” Nik offered.  He probably shouldn’t be so proud of that fact, but he couldn’t help himself.  “Why the hell were you up here anyway?”
    Ban dropped the ball and took several steps away, closer to Nik’s side of the balcony.  “I wanted to see if she wanted to come with us to the dinner tomorrow.”
    She suddenly perked up, pushing Nik aside to look down at Ban.  “A dinner?  Like a party?”
    “Yes.  But I changed my goddamn mind!”
    “Well that’s plain mean.”
    “Forget it!  I ain’t takin’ you anywhere.  The slow boy from down the lane has spoken.”
    Nik placed his hands on the railing, “accidentally” rubbing against Angie’s bare arm.  “Good.  ‘Cause she’s comin’ with me.”
    She turned on him.  “I am not.”
    He didn’t want to analyze why she seemed more than comfortable going with Ban who she popped in the head with a baseball and not him.  He was definitely better looking than Ban.
    “Sssh.  Don’t interrupt, Sugar.  Big boys talkin’.  ”
    “We are not bringing her now.”
    “Sure we are.  Daddy’ll love her.”
    “Momma won’t.  She hurt me.  I’m gonna have a knot on my head.”  Yeah.  And once he made up some bullshit story, every tigress there would be falling all over their Christian Dior dresses to take care of the big idiot.  They loved Ban.  He was a proven breeder.
    Nik brought his head right next to her so that he could whisper in her ear.  “He’s got a point, Sugar.  You done gone and hurt her baby boy.  Ban’s her favorite.”
    She didn’t answer him.  She was too busy leaning away from him.  He didn’t understand it.  He’d bathed that morning.
    He wondered how far she’d go.  He leaned over a little more.  Immediately, her body leaned farther away from him.  He wasn’t even sure she knew she did it.  He stood up straight, and so did she.
    He leaned over again.  So did she.  So he kept going, now desperate to see how far she’d go.
    She hit the floor.
    “Dammit!”
    He stretched out his hand to help her up, but she slapped him away.  She got to her feet and looked damn cute doing it, too.
    “You all right, Sugar?”
    “Yes.”  She brushed non-existent dirt off her dress.  “And stop calling me sugar.”
    “Naw.”
    “Naw?”
    He shrugged, “Naw.”  He smiled at her.  “Besides, ain’t you sweet as sugar?”
    She snorted, “Naw.”
    Aleksei suddenly appeared on the other side of the railing.  “Ya gotta come with us.”
    Startled, Angie jumped back.  “Are there stairs or something next to this fuckin’ balcony?”
    “Naw,” both brothers answered.
    She leaned over the railing, giving Nik an amazing look at those legs. 
Damn, girl
.  “Then how…”
    “It’s our hind legs.  Tigers can jump really far,” Aleksei offered.
    “Really?”  She bit her lip.  “You must have amazing thighs.”
    What the hell did the woman think she was doing?  Flirting with
both
his brothers.  And completely ignoring
him
!
    Aleksei stared at her, completely lost.  “They’re not bad.”
    “Interesting.”
    Alek leaned in closer and all Nik wanted to do was toss the man’s ass off his balcony. 
Why is he on my territory anyway? 
“Ignore Ban.  Just come with us.”
    “I’d love to.  I do love a good party.”  She glanced at Nik.  “And I think I have just the dress.”
    Nik barely bit back a snarl, “Only one?”
    She shrugged innocently.
    “Great.”  Aleksei grinned.  “Well, I better take care of Ban’s big fat head.  I still hear him whimpering.”
    “I
