on her breasts. She didn’t like that she couldn’t control herself when they touched her. She thought last night that it was just Tyce, or maybe just a craving for masculine appreciation. But now with her reaction to Xavier just as strong, she just didn’t know what to think. What kind of a slut was she turning into? She wanted both of them with every fiber of her being.
Once the tears finally stopped, she got up and washed her face with cold water. She solemnly studied the woman looking back at her from the mirror. Even she could see the fear and sadness in her own brown eyes. Her cheeks were flushed with arousal, but her nose was pink, and her eyelids were puffy from her tears. She had never seen her lips look so red and swollen, and she skimmed her hands over them, remembering the power in Xavier’s kiss and the tease of Tyce’s.
Her honey-blonde hair was tangled and wild around her face. There was a light whisker burn across her belly where Tyce had rubbed against her, and her navel still tingled where Xavier had played with her belly ring. She looked aroused and sated all at once. Running her fingers through her hair to tame it a little, she readjusted her clothing, making sure she was as decent as the small uniform allowed, and took a deep breath before opening the door. Seeing the office door still shut tightly and an empty hallway, she emerged from her hidey-hole.
She walked straight to the bar without looking back down the hall toward the office, keeping her chin high and her face blank of emotion. She smiled at Kara Holt, her partner bartender for the night, and clocked herself in for her shift. She spent the next several minutes focusing on her customers and her job, but she felt it when the brothers finally came back into the barroom. The air changed, and it was like all of the oxygen was sucked out, and she glanced toward the doorway. Xavier’s ice-blue eyes met hers, and she could have sworn she felt a spark of electricity jump across the room from him to her. Hurrying to busy herself, she spun around, putting her back to the room. She could still sense Xavier’s eyes on her as easily as his fingers had been earlier.
“Sid, we need another round of beers over here!”
She turned toward the table next to the bar and found it surrounded by friends of the Dawson brothers as well as Xavier and Tyce. For just a second she wondered where Noah was, and then her eyes met Tyce’s, and her stomach dropped. She could feel the moisture gather between her thighs as he smiled arrogantly back at her. Damn it, he knew what she was feeling and clearly knew that it was because of him.
She tossed her hair back and lifted her tray of beer mugs. With an extra sway in her hips, she headed for the table, determined to show them how unaffected she was.
Chapter 3
Tyce watched Sidney walk their way with her chin high, and her eyes on the other occupants of the table. She flashed a dazzling smile at his best friend, Lane Thompson, and he felt a surge of jealousy course through him. Watching her move around the table, passing drinks out and flirting with all of the other men but refusing to acknowledge him and Xavier, was making him ache to pull her into his lap and make a scene to stake his claim on her.
Still unsure what had happened to the hot little firecracker in the office earlier, he watched her every move carefully. He had never wanted a woman so much in his life. His insides were a riot of twisted emotions. When he reached the office and heard her talking to Xavier, shock and rage had consumed him. He couldn’t believe she could say that she had been taken advantage of. Never in his life had he pushed a woman past her limits if she said no. He just wasn’t that type of guy. When she had surrendered to them so easily, his body had reacted hard and fast. He wanted her like he wanted air in his lungs, and he let himself touch her. It even turned him on watching Xavier touch her and turn her on. He knew that
