“Sure.” It was his house. Wade kicked off his boots and socks, shucked his shirt, and unbuckled his pants. “You need a suit.” Panic gripped her.
“Why?”
That was a stupid comment. “You can’t get in here naked.”
“Darn. Here I thought you’d come over here to seduce us, and I was willing to oblige.” He probably was only kidding, but his tone held a bit too much cheer.
“That’ll be the day.”
His laughter came out full-bodied and oh so sexy. He took off his jeans and stood there deliciously in his boxers. She tried to look away but couldn’t. He had the same rippled abs as Heath and shoulders just as broad, but Wade’s torso was a bit longer. She skipped over the middle portion of his body and checked out his bulging thighs. Oh, my.
“You need more time to study my body, babe? I can give you a personal showing if you want.”
Her face heated up hotter than any whirlpool water. “No.” She looked back at Heath, who was smiling. “Maybe I should leave.”
Heath stepped between her and Wade. He looked over his shoulder at her. “I’ll keep you safe.”
“Said the fox to the hen.”
Both men chuckled. Wade stepped into the water, and she imagined his cock was vividly outlined, though her view was blocked by Heath. “Let me see her arm.”
Heath stepped aside. Sam wasn’t sure what he planned to do, but running a finger from her shoulder to her wrist wasn’t it. The bubbles tickled, but Wade’s touch ignited another part of her body that had been dormant for years. Part of her wanted him, but her reasonable half told her to stay away. She slowly withdrew her arm from his grasp.
“What’s wrong? Can’t handle a real man’s touch?”
His challenge raised the hairs on her neck. About ten retorts formed on her lips, all of which would get her in trouble. “I trust Heath more.”
He looked over his shoulder, shrugged, and stepped back. Damn . She thought he’d ignore anything she said. Stupid .
Heath took his place. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you against the big, bad wolf.”
They were playing her. “I don’t need any more protecting. I can handle your brother.” She sat up and puffed out her chest.
Wade stepped out of the whirlpool. When he turned around, his large cock tented his nearly see-through boxers. Not even if someone yelled fire could she drag her gaze from his huge weapon.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, babe. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do.” He swooped down and picked up his clothes.
She didn’t blink until he’d disappeared inside.
Heath laughed. “You’ve got it bad, darlin’.”
His words registered. She was in big trouble now.
Chapter Seven
Heath was good enough not to tease her about her reaction to Wade practically being naked in the whirlpool, but she couldn’t erase the image of him looking down at her with such lust in his gaze. If she had to pick a man or two to have sex with, she wouldn’t mind having it with either man, but she saw no reason to ruin her reputation with these two.
After working hard to build the trust on her ranch, Jake was responding to her requests and the men did as she asked. She didn’t need to have the two Watson brothers sniffing around and ruining everything.
Once she was able to straighten her arm, Heath brought her home. The heat had done wonders for the healing process.
“Thanks for letting me use the whirlpool.”
“My pleasure. The parade starts at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. Can I pick you up at 9:00 a.m.?”
She had no other plans. “Sure.”
Heath waved and headed back to his car. Even though she’d been in a whirlpool for close to an hour, she needed to wash her hair and shower. Being able to fully use both hands would be such a high. But first, she wanted to see her horse and take a ride. Racing over the grounds would renew her spirits like none other.
When she approached the barn, Jake was talking to two men she’d never seen before. They took one look at her, nodded, then headed out.
