“You don’t trust us?”
She took a deep breath and tried to get up but his hold was firm.
“Susa
nna, talk to me. What are you so afraid of? Is it the ménage thing? Is it what people might say? Tell me and we’ll work it out.”
She was silent a moment. “Monte, please. I can’t do this right now. Between you and your brother seducing me, I can’t think straight. I’m scared and confused, and, to be honest, now that I’m at work I should be focused on the security problem. Please don’t push this right now.”
He reached up and placed his hand against her cheek. She closed her eyes and he took a deep breath before releasing it.
“Okay, Susanna, you get your little bit of time.”
She nodded her head and gave a small smile.
“We need to consider a few options about the security system. From what I could see downstairs and in the main room, there are some old wires in there, and it looks like the guy who originally owned this place when it was a warehouse cut corners.”
She took a deep breath and covered his hands with her own to stop him from caressing her.
“I think I should stand up so we can discuss this properly.” She began to move but he held her tight.
“Honey, you’re not moving off of me. We can discuss this right here. I’ve dreamt of holding you in my arms for too long.”
“Oh,” she replied innocently, and he chuckled.
“Now, let’s get this over with so I can make some calls and then you and I can discuss tonight with BJ at our place.”
“What?” she asked, and he knew that their sweet Susanna was going to continue to fight this attraction every step of the way. But he and his brother were stubborn. Miss Susanna wouldn’t know what hit her.
Chapter 8
The music was playing, the crowd just as big as last night’s, and everything was under control. Monte and his men, along with the sheriff, fixed their entire security system. Of course some tweaking work would need to be done, but at least they were able to open tonight.
Susanna stood looking over the balcony on the second floor of the offices where only those who had access to her office could enter. She suddenly felt the big, strong arms wrap around her waist from behind and then the solid chest of a man. She jumped and he held firmly.
“It’s just me, baby. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Monte kissed her cheek.
She absorbed his hold a moment then turned in his arms.
“How did you get up here?” she asked.
“I know people,” he replied, and she knew that his cousins let him in. It seemed everyone was pushing for her to get involved with Monte and the sheriff.
“Is this a private party or can anyone join in?”
She looked to the side to see the sheriff entering the balcony, too. He was wearing a black dress shirt and dark designer jeans. He looked even bigger than when he was in uniform.
“I guess I’m going to have to talk with my security team about the rules.” She looked up into the corner of the ceiling where the camera was, and she made a fist and squinted her eyes.
“I’m sure they’re laughing right now.” The sheriff took her hand and pulled her to him. He kissed her softly on the lips then escorted her back inside and to the privacy of her office.

She stood in front of them a few feet away from her desk. Monte took one of her hands and brought it to his lips as he stepped closer. His other hand gently smoothed across her hip. The sheriff took her other hand and kissed her fingertips then reached under her hair to give a little tug as he moved closer and kissed her. He ravaged her mouth, and she felt Monte move in behind her, wrap his arm around her waist, and begin to kiss her shoulder and neck.
Eyes closed and feeling totally out of control, she allowed them to greet her. The sheriff’s kiss was deep and commanding just like him. He released her hand as he continued to kiss her then reached under her skirt to pull her body against his own. She pulled from his lips and gasped at the feel of his long, hard cock against her belly.
“That’s right, honey, I’m all worked up over you.”
