Reckless by Jenna Byrnes

regrets—but I thought you were as drunk as me. I've never acted like such a slut before, believe me."
    " Of course, I believe you." Rob leaned in and kissed her temple. "You didn't act like a slut. I liked it. A woman going after what she wanted."
    Keisha grinned up at him. "Didn't hurt that you were what I wanted."
    He laughed. "No, that didn't hurt a bit. You're a real beauty, Keisha Cooper. I must admit, if I'd been drinking there's no way I would have had as much stamina as I did. Alcohol does different things to the male and female anatomy, as my friend Pete can attest to."
    She chuckled this time. "I'm not sure Pete can attest to very much right now. He looks a little out of it."
    " You got me there. Well, then, your friend Jaden can verify it. She was the one left high and dry."
    Keisha glanced up at him. "She didn't end up that way. I'm sorry, I hope her joining us didn't bother you. She never would have done it if she knew we might want see each other again."
    Rob stopped and faced Keisha, holding her arms. "I definitely want to see you again. I hope it won't be weird with Jaden because tonight was a wild trip. But Keisha, it's you I'm interested in."
    Her heart soared. "I feel the same way. Jaden and I don't usually—I mean we've never—before tonight, you know. It's just that we're on vacation and we promised ourselves a really great time."
    " What do you say to letting me show you the really great time from here on out?" Rob pulled Keisha to him and kissed her gently.
    " Oh, yeah." She slid her arms around his neck and returned the kiss, letting her mouth open and their tongues dart against each other.
    " Well, what do we have here?" An unfamiliar male voice rumbled behind them, and Keisha pulled back quickly from Rob. She glanced up to see two big men leering at them with evil grins on their faces.
    " What do you want?" she asked softly.
    Rob didn 't wait for a reply. He took Keisha's arm and tried to steer her away. "Excuse us," he said to the man that stepped in front of them.
    Keisha glanced around, searching the street for the others. Her heart sank when she saw Jaden and Pete standing next to two similarly large men. "Shit, Rob!" she muttered, and he looked where she motioned with her head.
    " Fuck me," he muttered under his breath, and looked around quickly. The night loomed dark and the street deserted. Somehow, they had wandered away from the street party instead of toward it.
    " So, pretty Senorita, what's happening tonight?" One of the men touched Keisha's cheek and she jerked away. He laughed and she could see his teeth were crooked and yellow.
    The other men brought Jaden and Pete into a small circle they formed around the two couples. "Look what we found." A tall, dirty-looking man grabbed a handful of Jaden's shiny red hair. "This one will bring a pretty penny. Our associates just love Americans with soft, fair skin."
    Keisha gulped and saw Rob do the same. We're in real trouble here. She winced as another man pulled her hair and laughed wickedly. "This one won't bring so much with her dark skin. We may have to use her up ourselves, and then toss our leftovers to the dogs back at camp." He licked Keisha's cheek and she jerked away, disgusted, but he held her hair firmly and continued breathe on her.
    " Stop that!" Rob yelled, and then swore as someone grabbed his arms roughly.
    Pete 's face turned a sickly shade of green and he leaned over to retch in the street.
    " Stupid American gringo," the first man muttered and brandished a gun, aiming at Pete's head.
    " No!" Rob freed one arm and swiped at the man's gun hand. He shoved it aside as the gun went off, the bullet striking his friend's shoulder. Pete cried out and dropped to the ground.
    Rob took the opportunity to kick his captor and knock him down. Keisha followed his lead and swung around, landing a high-heeled blow to the nuts of the man in front of her. He muttered "Ooof!" before he doubled over, and Rob smacked the man on the back of his
