Sin City Baby
“Don't you know it,” she said, waltzing through the living area toward Gabe with the tray of drinks.
Jared came down the stairs, fresh from the shower. His hair was still wet, and he was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans and a navy blue polo shirt. I couldn't take my eyes off him, and he reciprocated, flashing me a wry little grin as he reached the bottom of the steps. He came straight for me and wrapped me in his arms, kissing my lips and holding me close.
“What were you staring at?” he teased.
“My sexy boyfriend, that's what,” I said, playfully tapping him on the chest. “Did you get everything unpacked?”
“Mostly,” he said. “Just a few more boxes, and I'll be moved in.”
“I can't wait,” I said, squeezing him tight. “I'm sleeping with you tonight.”
“If Gabe will let me have you,” Jared t
eased. He shot a look over at his oldest brother, who was lost in a conversation with Laura. “Then again, he looks tied up at the moment, maybe we could sneak away and – ”
I smacked him playfully on the ass. “Hush. Our parents will be here any minute.”
“So?” he teased, leaning forward just enough to kiss my nose.
“You're a bad boy, you know that?”
He winked. “Admit it, you love it.”
“I love you, that's all I know,” I said.
“Mmm, and I love you too,” he said, kissing me one last time before letting me go. “I'll be waiting for you tonight, in my bed.”
“I'll be there.”
He returned the favor and smacked my ass as I walked back toward the party. Gabe was still talking to Laura, and I made out part of their conversation as I approached.
“I'm so happy for our partnership,” Laura said. “Ashburn and Rose, two of the biggest names in interior design. I'm excited to see where this move takes us.”
“As am I,” I said from behind her.
I was worried about relocating, mainly because I didn't have the client base in Castle Creek yet. Most of my clients were in Southern California. However, the more time I spent with Laura, the more we'd hit it off. Eventually, she'd offered to bring me in as a partner, to work together and to expand our business in Colorado.
Gabe sidled up next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist. I leaned into him, feeling comfortable against his chest. I knew, in that moment, that was where I was meant to be. With him. At his side. Grayson came up and tugged at Gabe's arm, pulling him away to look at something. I watched Gabe's ass as he walked away, a smile curling at my lips.
“What has you smiling so pretty?” Evan said, sneaking up on me.
He still had Emma in his arms, holding her against his chest. His glasses were sliding down his nose, so I reached up and adjusted them for him. His smile grew wider.
“I'm just happy,” I said, answering his question. Aside from Chris' death, my life really couldn't have turned out any better, and judging by the looks on my men's faces, neither could theirs.

PROLOGUE
Standing there, in the living room, we passed around the bottles until they were drained of their contents. I looked down at the green bottle in my hands and smiled, placing it on the ground before I spun it.
It spun, and it spun, and I could feel the brothers’ eyes on me. Their curious glances slowly growing devilish while my nipples puckered painfully behind my bra. They knew what I was thinking, and I knew what was rolling through their heads. As the bottle slowed to a stop in front of Chance, I lifted my gaze to him and grinned.
“Chance,” I said. “Truth or Dare?”
