“The attraction is there, but two men at once?”
He fanned himself then chuckled.
She laughed, too, and gave him a playful punch in the arm.
“It’s very common. It’s not like they do it all the time. I know these things. I’ve got connections.”
“I’m sure you do, but I don’t do these things. Desi was my first real boyfriend. My first lover.”
“But, he didn’t make you orgasm, remember?” Colt teased then wiggled his eyebrows.
“Thanks for reminding me. I didn’t even know what that was. I mean I totally thought it was pretty good.”
“Yeah, but what about with Riker and Nash. They are carrying some big guns, and if I can be so bold to say, they are smoking hot.”
“I could come from their kisses alone,” she whispered, leaning back and closing her eyes.
“Is that what I walked in on? Hmm. So what’s the game plan for their club tomorrow? We have a lot to go over with them.”
“I’m not sure that I’ll be there. Perhaps remaining in the background, doing the ordering, and helping to pick out the paint and décor would be better?”
“You can hide from the truth for only so long. Maybe they’re trustworthy, too?”
“I can’t think about getting involved with another man, or two, even if I wanted to. I don’t know what Desi is capable of.”
Colt pulled her against his side and held her in his big strong arms.
“That’s what I’m afraid of. Let me talk to my friends and see if we can keep you safe until we can get Desi off your back.”
“I really don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
“Don’t worry. These friends of mine are very resourceful.”
Chapter 6
Cash Corbin ended the call and looked at Zane Heston.
“I can’t believe it. Colt really thinks that this Desi guy could hurt Chastity,” Zane said.
“I get the feeling that Nash and Riker are interested in her. The way they reacted last night at the club was a definite indication,” Cash stated.
“I know. I was kind of happy for them. Nash took Maggie’s death hard. It was a crazy night, and he blames himself for her death.”
“I know. But the truth of the matter is that she’s gone, and he needs to move on.”
“Riker moved on pretty quickly,” Zane said then laughed.
“That crazy son of a bitch.”
“He’s not going to be too happy when he finds out that Chastity hasn’t gone to the police.”
“Colt said something happened back at home, in Charlotte, where she’s from. It probably has something to do with that.”
“New York is a definite change from the Carolinas. But she fits in just fine. She’s a very attractive young woman.”
“She sure is. So, let’s help keep her safe. I think we should handle this one personally,” Cash stated.
“Sounds good to me. I’ll see what I can find out about this asshole Desi. You start with the surveillance on Chastity. Colt said she lives in a crappy apartment building. We’re going to want to get better security for her there. Chastity is not going to make this easy on us. Colt already warned me.”
