A WEEK AGO, TUCKER HAD SWORN he wasn’t going to have anything to do with her. Now he wasn’t sure he was going to make it through supper, let alone manage to wait until dark.

She sat at a right angle to him at the supper table. Not close enough to touch, too close to ignore. He couldn’t help but watch her. The longer he did, the deeper he sank.

With a beguiling tilt of her head, the soft hint of a secret smile, even the subtle flutter and drift of her thick web of lashes, she covertly enticed and flirted and fired his imagination to a fever pitch.

Lord, the woman did things to his head. Things that he’d never have believed he’d be susceptible to. Things that angered him and amused him and split his thoughts in ten different directions. There was a lot to be said for divide- and-conquer tactics, and the longer he sat here watching her, the more he suspected she knew exactly what a tease she was.

She was working him over but good. Her sweet seduction didn’t appear practiced. Instead, it seemed guilelessly natural.

Whatever it was, it was effective... a potent assault on his senses and his powers of control.

Fortunately, Tag was so wrapped up in worrying over Lana, and Lana was so intent in convincing both Cody and Tag that she was all right, that Tucker’s dilemma didn’t register with them—until a warm, bare foot, hidden under the table, slipped up his leg, wedged itself between his thighs and nestled cozily against his fly.

Her sneak attack caught him completely off guard. His entire body went on sexual alert with a jolt so strong it damn near knocked him out of his chair.

He choked on a mouthful of pasta salad.

All eyes snapped toward him.

“You okay, bro?” Tag asked, poised to jump to his feet and slam a broad palm between Tucker’s shoulder blades.

Tucker stalled Tag with an open-palm motion that told him to stay put, then gulped down half a glass of milk.

“You’d best slow down, cowboy. It wouldn’t do to have two medical emergencies in one day.”

This from the sweetly smiling outlaw with the innocent brown eyes and the busy foot.

“No need to hurry,” she added with an indulgent smile. “You can take all night if you want to—there’s enough to satisfy even you.”

If he could have talked, he’d have sworn at her. If he could have moved, he’d have strangled her. As it was, he could only cut her a warning glare—which she responded to by batting her eyes and pressing her inquisitive little foot more snugly against his fly. He did some responding of his own by growing harder and fuller as the little hellion’s curling toes and the double meaning of her seemingly innocent words hummed on the air between them.

“I’m glad to hear that,” he countered, finally finding his voice and deciding two could play this game. “Because I find I’ve worked up one heck of an appetite. And as hungry as I am right now, satisfying it just might take all night.
