crying.
    “I can’t make her wake. She said four hours, no more. I only wait ten minute too many. I not kill her, did I? She my bacon. I need my bacon.”
    Jamie moved the hysterical woman out of the way and before he could slam himself, Byron stopped him.
    “You’ll break your shoulder. The three of us do this together on three. Three…two…one.” The door did not stand a chance under their combined weight. It splintered and broke through and the three men when tumbling in. Jamie scrambled over to see to Dane.
    She was lying in her chair, which was close to the desk. Her face was pale and her lips where blue. She was breathing, but it was faint and shallow. Tears had dried on her cheeks and there was a little blood on her lip. Damon had to ask him twice to move. His mother was talking to Pi and calming her down.
    “This woman says she needs a cold shower. Mrs. Chang said to put Dane into a cold shower.
    There’s a bathroom just over there.”
    “She scream, but you hold her till she wake. She mean when she wake, you no let her hurt you. She my bacon and I need her to be good.”
    Jamie turned to his brother. “Damon? Should we?”
    “I don’t know, Jamie. I don’t know what’s happened. But if this woman says it’ll work, then she knows more than we know at this point. I’ll take her in.”
    “No. I have her. Turn on the water. I’m going to strip down to my boxers. Be ready in case this doesn’t work, okay?”
    Jamie ended up in his jeans, taking everything out of them and picking Dane up. Her body was limp as she carried her into the bathroom and when he stepped into the stall, he nearly screamed himself from the cold temperature of the spray. As soon as the water hit Dane, she came screaming awake and fighting.

    ~CHAPTER 7~

    Every time Dane looked at him, she was glaring a little harder. At least the shivers had stopped, Jamie noticed. And her lips were pinking up. He was sure the color in her cheeks was due more to the anger she was directing at him than the embarrassment or cold. He winked at her every time he caught her looking his way.
    Pi and his mother were upstairs in the kitchen. Damon was talking with the medics and Devin was dealing with the police. Byron was talking quietly with Dane. Jamie had been ordered by Dane to stay away from her. He was going to give her five more minutes then he was going to haul her body up against his and kiss the daylights out of her then spank her ass. He glanced back at the broken door and shuddered again.
    “Mr. Grant? The landlord says he’s not paying for the damages and he wants to press charges against you and your brothers for breaking it down. I need to know what you want to do about it.” This cop had just walked into the basement.
    “See that man over there? He’s my attorney. Talk to him.” Jamie started over to Dane and stopped when she stood up.
    “You stay away from me, Mr. Grant. The nerve bringing all these people in my home when it was—”
    He had meant to talk to her. Had even meant to see if she was all right, or hurt in anyway first. But kissing her seemed much better the moment she opened her mouth. And holding her close was all he could think about. And when Dane wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed closer to him, he knew that he’d made the right decision. Hearing his brother chuckle did not even stop him from cupping her ass and bringing her tighter against him.
    He tasted her mouth like a starved man. Her flavor and scent pulled at his senses, making him lightheaded and needy. When Dane’s tongue slid into his mouth and tangled with his, he groaned and shifted her so that now she was between his legs, her soft folds hard against his erection. Everything in the room faded away as they explored each other. Byron tugging at his arm brought him back, reluctantly.
    “Jamie, Mom’s coming down. I’m reasonably sure you don’t want to be lip-locked like you are when she gets here. She’ll rip your ear off like she did
