CHAPTER 20

On Tuesday night, exactly eight days from when she first met the man, Luke moved beside Trinity as she dug out the playing cards from the china cabinet drawer. She shivered from his nearness. The light cotton dress she was wearing suddenly felt too thin, made her feel too vulnerable, like she was wearing nothing around him.

All evening during last Friday night’s dinner, and then again tonight, Luke had taken every opportunity to brush against her, to touch her when no one was looking.

When I take you, I won’t be letting you go...

Cripes, the cowboy didn’t play fair. Not at all.

“What are we playing?” Rylie asked from behind Trinity as she finally located the cards, and Trinity almost dropped the whole damned deck.

“How about five card stud?” Luke said, the warmth of his breath caressing her ear.

Levi slipped past Trinity and Luke as Rylie tossed the deck onto the dinner table. “Sounds as good as any,” Levi said.

Zack had removed the two middle table leaves a few minutes earlier, so that the table was much smaller and cozier for playing poker. Now instead of a long oblong table, it was almost circular.

Rylie’s blond hair bounced against her shoulders as she punched her brother in the shoulder and she laughed when he grabbed his arm. The man’s hair was as blond as his sister’s, and almost as curly. “You ready for me to kick your ass, Deputy Levi Thorn?”

“Now this I gotta see.” Zack pulled a chair up to the table, his gray eyes glinting with humor as he grabbed the deck of cards. “I always said local law enforcement was nothing but a bunch of—ah—” He cleared his throat and grinned at Skylar. “A bunch of bad card players.”

“Watch it, Hunter.” Rylie gave Zack a mock glare then kissed her brother on the cheek before slipping into the chair next to Levi.

Skylar carried in a tray from the kitchen, filled with bowls of pretzels, bottles of beer and wine, along with wineglasses. Blue followed at Skylar’s heels, and then settled himself under her chair, his head on his paws.

Trinity helped her sister, and after everything was distributed, Trinity took her seat next to Luke, who was dealing out stacks of red, white, and blue poker chips. When she eased into her chair, he paused and gave her that dark, sexy look that made her ache. She had no idea how she was going to make it through this night without having him.

I won’t be letting you go...

Damn, damn. Damn. Damn.

She wanted sex.

The handsome, sexy guy was the one who wanted something more serious.

In what world was that friggin’ fair?

Trinity had already decided to stick around long enough to help Skylar—and DropCaps wasn’t even expecting her to get going at full speed until after the holidays. They were shipping her gear to her, along with a brand-spanking-new high bandwidth satellite dish to stick in Skylar’s back flower bed. With that puppy, she’d be able to send DropCaps files the size
