CHAPTER EIGHT

“Just remember, Commander. Paybacks are hell,” she said against his mouth and felt him smile. As she reached out to retrieve the crimson fruit at his crotch, his lips again found hers. He pressed her hand against his swollen erection. The fruit was forgotten. His hard body pushed up against her hand, his own hand pressing hers down on his thickness.

Someone cleared their throat. It wasn’t her. It wasn’t Chance. All movement came to a screeching halt. Reality flooded into the little room. Chance drew back and she looked up to find Wade standing in the opening next to a chef, who for all intents and purposes appeared as though he wished he was anywhere else. So did Holly. The heat of a deep red blush crept up her face.

“We couldn’t find you two.” Wade was trying so hard not to grin it would, without doubt, do damage to his facial muscles. “Chef Andre has something for you.”

Holly looked at the silver tray in the chef’s hand. He lowered it and removed the silver dome cover. It held a hot dog in a bun with an assortment of relishes and condiments on the side.

“As requested, madam. Grilled over an open fire. For you.”

He held the tray toward them. Thankfully Chance reached out and took it. Her hands were shaking so badly she would have probably dumped the whole plate in his lap. A new rush of heat ran up her neck and face as an image flashed in her mind of how Chance would ask her to clean that up. This had to stop.

“Thank you.”

“You are quite welcome. I hope you enjoy,” Chef said before turning away.

“Something is begging me to ask what you both were up to when I walked in here,” Wade said. “But, nah. I don’t think I really need to ask, do I? And if I did, you probably wouldn’t tell me, would you?”

“Honestly, Wade. It’s all just a big misunderstanding.” Holly would not leave him thinking she’d come to his elaborate party just to make out with his brother. Even though she had been doing just that. There was a distinct difference between making out and making out. “What you saw was not really representative of what we were doing.”

Chance snorted and she sent a glare in his direction.

“Oh?” Wade’s dark eyes glimmered with barely contained amusement.

She shook her head. “I was simply helping Chance find my cherry.”

No one moved.

It took about five seconds to realize what she’d said.

Her admission didn’t faze Chance as he dangled the small red fruit from its stem.

“And I got it,” he said, before popping it in his mouth, grinning like the Cheshire cat.

The hot dog was delicious, and in spite of having already eaten all that fruit, she downed every bite. Chance disappeared for a couple of minutes and was soon back with a lemonade and a cold beer.

“Wade is offering his guests beer? That seems a little odd.”

“He keeps them in the fridge. I never really formed a liking for champagne.
