looked around the room in a frantic search for her discarded clothing. She leaned over to peer at the floor despite the fact she knew Kyle and Kent had actually stripped her in the bathroom. She hadn’t heard the bathroom door open…actually she hadn’t even considered where either of the West men might be until she heard Kyle’s voice behind her. “Now there’s a beautiful view. Damn, kitten, your ass is fucking perfect.” When she jerked around, plopping her ass back on to the mattress, her quick movements sent a riot of blonde waves in all directions. Someday she was really going to have to get a handle on her unruly hair, but that wasn’t going to happen today so she let the thought slide right back out of her mind.
    “Oh, um…hi, I was just looking for my clothes. Have you seen them?” Kyle just stood over her watching her intently as he was studying everything about her for so long she was beginning to wonder if he was even going to respond. She was starting to question what she should do when he cocked his head to one side and smiled.
    “Second thoughts, kitten? Do you always wake up with your thoughts all scattered about or is this an orgasm induced condition?” She didn’t see anything but sincerity in his face, but there was definitely amusement dancing in the depths of his dark eyes.  He was so good looking that she couldn’t help but look at the contours of his face and wonder how God had managed to make two perfect looking men.  And then she wondered what He was thinking by dangling them in front of her like a prize she could never really win. 
    “Well, I….damn it to Denmark, no matter how I answer those questions I’m gonna be in trouble so maybe I should just plead the fifth and call it a day.” She hadn’t meant to be flip and she had learned a long time ago that it was a rare person who really appreciated her humor so she really should have given her response more thought. She quickly dropped her gaze to her lap and watched her fingers pinching and twisting the sheet as if her hand belonged to someone else.
    She hadn’t expected the chuckle she heard from him and when she slowly raised her eyes to him, she so was surprised to see not one but two intimidating men standing over her with towels casually wrapped around lean hips. When the little black dots clouding her view started dancing, she realized she was holding her breath but couldn’t seem to let it go. “Darlin’, I do believe you better take a breath.” She heard Kent’s voice, but her attention was on the matching six-packs directly in front of her. “ Now! ” The sharp tone of Kent’s command had her gasping in the oxygen her brain was desperately seeking and thankfully the black dots of death as she’d always called them dissipated into mist.  Ever since she’d been a kid she would catch herself holding her breath when she was particularly nervous and it was a habit she’d always hated.  She and her friend and neighbor had laughed when they had discovered they shared the bad habit.  Gracie was one of the best friends Tobi had ever had and they were so much alike it was almost scary sometimes. 
    Tobi took a couple of gulping breaths of air and when her head finally cleared enough to speak she looked up into the now stern looks on Kyle and Kent’s faces. “Sorry, I guess I sort of panicked there for a minute.”
    “Kitten, if that was panic in your eyes, I’m worried about what your real sexual hunger might look like. Don’t lie to us—ever. Now, I’m going to give you one chance to amend that statement so don’t blow it.” She was pretty sure he’d used that expression on purpose and her face heated to near scorching at the image that flashed through her mind.
    “Well, I really was panicking and it happens sometimes when I first wake up.” Even though what she’d said was true, she didn’t have any intention of explaining it. “And then I remembered where I was…and what I’ve done and I,” she
