Chapter 13

Before Nikki could draw her Glock from her holster, a big hand closed over hers.

“If we start shooting, the police will be called,” Lars warned her. He’d shoved the condom back into his pocket and buckled his belt again.

“And that would be a bad thing...why?” she asked. She wasn’t opposed to the police being called until she remembered that Nick was still running River City PD. So the police wouldn’t come alone; they would come with at least one of her brothers.

She dropped her hand away from her holster.

“We can take them without guns,” Lars said.

We...

Her pulse quickened with nearly as much excitement as she’d felt when she’d reached for his zipper. He was so damn big—so hard—so hot. She ached inside with desire, with need. But she would use all that tension to fuel her fight.

Lars stopped talking and gestured toward the open bedroom door. He stood on one side of the jamb while she moved to the other side. Night had fallen some time ago, and they hadn’t turned on any lights. Their eyes were accustomed to the darkness. Hopefully the intruders were not.

The first dark shadow walked through the door and right into Lars’s strong grip. He pulled the man’s arms behind him and flung him against the wall.

The second dark shadow—even bigger than the first—rushed inside to the aid of his partner. And Nikki dropped him with a knee to the groin. He fell to the floor, writhing.

She wasn’t prepared for the third. She hadn’t heard him. But Lars must have. As the guy reached for her, his strong hands gripping her arms, Lars broke his hold and nearly his neck. Until the guy who’d fallen against the wall flipped on the lights.

Dane gasped for breath and tugged at the forearm Lars had wrapped around his throat. Now that they could see more than shadows of each other, his friend released him, and he dropped onto the floor next to where Manny writhed yet.

“Guess we should’ve rung the bell instead of breaking in,” Cole remarked from where he leaned against the bedroom wall, his hand still on the light switch.

“You think?” Lars asked with a grunt.

“What the hell is wrong with you people?” Nikki asked. Even though she’d grown up with all males but for Penny, she doubted she would ever fully understand them.

“I don’t know,” Dane replied. “What did you do to Manny? Neuter him?”

“Good thing I don’t want to have a family,” Manny said between gasps for breath. He kind of sounded like he was having a baby.

Regret flashed through Nikki. But she’d had no way of knowing who they were.

“Why didn’t you ring the bell?” she asked. “Or at the very least call out to let us know who you were?”

Cole snorted disparagingly. “What’s the fun in that?”

She gestured down at Manny. “Does that look fun to you?”

He shuddered. “No. Guess I’m lucky Lars took me.”

“If I’d known it was you, I might have done that,” Lars said with a glare.
